I'm 13, and i need help?

Question

ok, so i'm a 13-year-old girl. i am a HUGE naruto fanatic. but there's these skater boys who keep bothering me about it. i sit next to one in scince, and when its just me and him talking, he's really nice, and even asks me abuot the show. when he's with his jerk friends, its a different story. i've tried ignoring them, but i cant take it anymore!
once in science class, (there was only about 15 kids, long story) i started crying because they were being such jerks! thank goodness our teacher felt my pain and made them stop when i started threatening to kill them.
what bothers me most is that they know NOTHING about the show, and they find it fun to make fun of it, and i'm sick of it.
P.S. i dont mean to be racist, but they're white people, and they make fun of me for being filipino and looking chinese. they make fun of me for so many things, even when i've done nothing to them. what should i do???

oh yeah, NARUTO FANS!!! yes, i am watching the marathon on saturday!! WHOO!!!! KEEP THE FAITH!!
P.S. i dont even talk about the show. ok, sometimes when i'm in school, i wear a headband (i have leaf, sound, and sand) but i never talk about the show with anybody but my friends. they just start drama and make lame comments, like "hey naruto, you believe in ninjas?" like drunken people. also, "HIYAAA!!!" and i actually take tang soo do karate, and it pisses me off that these weirdos who know nothing and just want to start something want to mess with me! XP
KONOHA FOREVER!!!!

Hi Erin - school can be such a hassle sometimes.

From what you have said it sounds like these boys think you're a bit of a hottie and this is their way of expressing it. Sounds very wierd, I know, but when guys of that age get together in a group, they don't exactly bring out the best in each other, and unfortunately for whatever reason you have become the favourite target.

Maybe they're in awe of your exotic good looks, or your cool taste in shows.

If I was you I would see if you can change seats for Science class, or if you think that will actually bring more unwanted attention stay put and act like nothing they do gets under your skin and eventually someone else will become the focus of their attention.

PS - I still think one or more has a crush on you!

Answer 3

I am sorry to hear you going through such hard times. We have all been there.

First some damage control:
1) Remember this is a small part of your life.
2) Don't build these people up to be more than they are.
3) If they don't dig the show then don't talk about it, simple as that. You can't make people like things they don't.
4) Don't chalk everything to racism, some people are jerks, and remember racists come in every color and gender.
5) Go on with your life.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Boys are stupid.
They're just looking for someone to pick on. It's what kids do.
Just ignore them. The novelty of making fun of you might wear off soon. I know that sounds bad. But chances are they'll just get bored and move onto someone else.
If that doesn't work then tell a teacher or trusted adult what's going on. It's not fair to have to go through school being tormented like that.
You can always defend yourself but that might be met with more taunting from them. Above all do not throw insults or threats at them. It's just not the best idea.

Answer 5

Hey.... Im 12 years old and i kno what ur talkin about. See everyone gets made fun of...its a typical thing to go through especially at this age when the kids make fun of others especially to make themselfs seem so funny and popular when theyre just actin like jerks. Its also to make themselfs seem cooler.... weird way isnt it? Well just dont worry about it, and DO NOT stoop to their level at all. Well, once in a while u can make jokes as a come back about something embarrassin they did ; )! May b thats a way to flirt with u....u never knoo! Keep on watchin ur show! Never change the way u r just so other people can accept it. U r the way u r, and i am the way i am ...AND THATS NEVER GOING TO CHANGE!

Answer 6

realize that they are being ignorant and ignore them. It is after all just a show that is not as important as your peace of mind. Most bullies do what they do because they enjoy the power they feel when they make someone else feel bad.

First, I would stop talking to the two faced coward that sits next to you. If he was a real friend he would stand up for you.

Second, when they begin to tease you put your eyes forward on the teacher, or on your work, or take your work to the teacher and ask the teacher a question about your work.

Third, if you feel threatened, tell your teacher or another adult right away. Most schools have strict codes regarding bullies.

Answer 7

you are fine girl. Dont doubt about yourself. Have much much self confidence and dont give any attention to them. I realise offcourse that those jerk guys dont understand your sensitivities.
in your place what i do is to find some very nice friends(Girls) who can stand beside you and support you. Since you are filipino, you may have hard time facing those jerks but i am sure the girls of their race who are your friend can help you in that.
Just dont worry.
You have come from a long distance to have a better life and better education. Enjoy your stay in USA and take advantage of your studies. Talk with your Mom and Dad and tell them the story. They would also advice you.
You guys from philippines are pretty cool and i like your people. Not everyone is the same.
Good luck

Answer 8

I feel your pain. When I was younger I loved boy bands such as The Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, etc... and I got teased for it. From the words of a popular Sheryl Crow song "If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad" trust and believe it. Now as far as the racial comments they are very un-called for and are very hurtful. I am mixed with blk and wht and it is hard to fit in with either one of them. I know its hard to do but just ignore stupidity and ignorance. When you get older things will change for you for the best. Oh don't apologize for being racist cause you're not its everyone else who is, especially white people!!! Yeah I said it!!!

Answer 9

School is hard hun and I feel for ya. Everyone goes through it ya just got to remember to be strong and stand for what you believe in. Sounds to me like the one boy likes you but a such a young age he cares more about friends than girls and that a good thing I dont thing kids 16 and under should date. Just keep you head up and remeber everything will be ok.

Answer 10

I feel your pain and I feel bad, I used to be obsessed with a show called Pokemon and I had all the collect able stuff....
Then people started making fun of me. My advice is: 1- Don't pay attention to them, just pretend the boys are not there ( me and my friends have to do it all the time ) sometimes they just stop bothering you after that. 2- If they bother you about what you look like and what you enjoy.......get some dirt on them. Find out what they like and make fun of them. 3- If one of them asks you about the show in science I bet there interested in it he is just embarrassed

Answer 11

I feel for you. My daughter went to a small school and because she was shy and she did not look for trouble. they treated her very badly. My husband and I told her to make like she was not there. She did not talk to them nor show any sign they were there. One of girls even took the nerve to write her a so called love letter and signed one of the boys name to it.
My husband being on the school board took it to the school board and gave a copy of it to every one there. The kids still tried to get nasty but she ignored them and soon they just stopped bothering her because they could not get a rise out of her. She turned out tobe the valdictorian of her class and ended up going back to the school as a teacher. and now is married.
Just ignore the kids and when they see it does not bother you any more they will quit
