I go to a catholic school and I only go by 2 names. My full name in a stupid voice, and the holy kid. Nobody else is treated this way in my class and the teachers know about it yet they do nothing. I can't transfer because my school doesn't have that type of program. My parents won't let me leave the school, and my only friend doesn't help. I'm not even holy. I just study for religion hard to get good grades. To top it all off, my parents do nothing. Help!!! What do I do?

You seem to come from a very religious home. So perhaps your parents have certain notions on how you should be educated. This might explain why they don't see how much this situation disturbs you. I know it might be hard for you to see things this way, but you must believe in your heart that these things will pass. This heartache will pass. If the head Nun or director of the school won't help you with this situation, then it seems that you have no alternative but to help yourself. The best way is to become oblivious to the name callings and the ill treatment by your classmates. While at school stay focus on your lessons, and know in your heart that when you get older things will be a lot better. They will get better because when you become an adult
you can choose legally what your name should be . For now you should become oblivious to the problems and only think of the future, Good Luck!

First, you don't have the problem, they do. If they call you names it's usually because they are jealous of you or feel you are doing better than them and have to be critical. The world is like that and getting worse. There is nothing wrong with getting good grades and being a great student. I do feel the teachers should have more control but, if you talk to them and they do anything it may make it worse. Is there a guidance councelor there? You may benefit from talking to someone. That someone could also be just an older person in the family that you trust or a family friend, not parents. Talk to someone about it and try to ignore the mean kids. As long as it isn't physical, they can't really hurt you. Try to act like you don't care and maybe laugh like it's a joke and you get it. But, don't let them get to you.
You have your priorities straight and that is what counts. A good education is the best thing you can have and they can't take that away from you. So, a few yrs. from now you won't have to look at any of them and you will be sucessful and they will still be playing foolish games. Think of it as almost over. I know it's hard, I know it hurts but I also know that you are a strong person because you stick to the program. I know you wouldn't let them treat your friend that way. Maybe your friend is afraid or not brave or whatever. So, just keep your distance and talk to someone you trust that is older. I am sending prayers out to you. Love is coming your way baby girl.Keep strong.

It is annoying when people make fun of you. The truth is everyone gets made fun of just in different ways. The best advice I can give you is think of what you would like people to call you. Then every time someone calls you by something different or uses a stupid voice correct them without looking or acting upset. Once they see you are not bothered by it and you give them a name to call you most likely in a short while they will start calling you what you would like to be called. Make sure to always correct people no matter how old it gets and they key is don't let them know it bothers you. Also being called the holy kid isn't a bad thing even if it is annoying, it just means your a great person who cares about more then just yourself and they are probably just jealous of you. Remember that, best of luck!

I'm sorry to hear this but I really don't understand all your saying. If the teachers know and do nothing then go to the head nun. Or u can always act like your crazy and tell them your going to hurt them and their family.hahaha I think u should maybe ignore them and keep getting your good grades so u can go to a good college and become either famous of rich.Good luck

first of all who are these people that do this to you?are they perhaps jealous?i would act like i didnt hear them. i would smile and go to school and ignore them. sometimes when you ignore people they realize you are not going to respond any more so they stop their foolishness.dont give them any fuel to work with.if this continues i would go to the head of the school and let them know that this goes against what the school stands for.school counselors are good listeners and you could express how it affects you and tell them you want a solution.how would they like it if you were to call them devils children?or say their name in a weird way.did you tell them to their face that you dont like these actions? if you have and they still do it then go over their heads. there is such a thing as code of conduct.

Dont let people know it bugs you. People are making fun of you to get a reaction from you. Next time they call you holy kid
say something like..........."that right....maybe you shoud try it sometime." or something else. Maybe just smile and say "you know it".
It will take some time, but once they think you dont care either way.........they will stop because it wont be fun anymore.
Good luck

If you are shy that's why they might be teasing. If you try being friends with more people and you are more social they are less likely to make fun of you. When you do projects in class and you choose parterns try going with someone knew. It might be awkward at first but it's a good way of making some new friends.

What is your question? Stop rambling on and just say what you want to say. If you hate your name so much make up a new one!
