It has been going on for over a year now.
I feel to scared to report them in case it makes them worse,
It is making me feel worthless and I can't take much more.
What should I do?

I have been getting bullied for years now. Not because im overweight, unattractive, or annoying, but because Im more mature than most students. What i did to get it to stop was, i went to my school councelor, and told her that i was being bullied, i told her where it was happening at first, with no names. then when that didnt work, i told her the kids names, and asked her that she keep it anonymous. She kept her word and the kids were watched, and it turns out, i wasnt the only one it happened to. I hope this helped!

The following you should do:
Demand action!
Give the school a reasonable amount of time to work out minor problems to your child's satisfaction and your satisfaction as a parent.
In cases of a major harassment situation such as a physical or sexual assault, call the police immediately. These type of serious offenses must be handled by the police and entered on the abuser or perpetrator's police record or Juvenile Record. School Administrators can take some action's against the perpetrator(s) but they are not police officers.
Document everything! Tape record statements, type them up and have witnesses sign the statements. Take pictures of injuries, places (buildings), people, etc.
Write letters to School Board Members. Write letters to Board members separately and after each incident of harassment.
Write a letter to the Superintendent. Write a letter to the Superintendent after each incident of harassment.
Write a letter to The Principal of the school. Write a letter to the Principal after each incident of harassment.
Go to School Board meeting and speak out. It's not just your child that you are thinking about, but all the other children who are harassed and have parents who won't, or don't know how, to speak for them.
Write multiple letters to your State Representatives (The Education Committee). Tell them what is happening in your school and how your Administrators are handling your child's case. Ask them to support State laws to protect kids who are whistle blowers and stronger laws to punish bullies and perpetrators of harassment. Write a letter to each member of the Committee separately and after each incident of harassment. Send a copy of your letters to the School Board Members, Superintendent and Principal of the offending school.
Write a letter to the Editor of your local newspaper. Do not embarrass your child with details, but write instead about your schools lack of response for harassed students in general.
Call a lawyer. If you have not been satisfied with the response you have received from School Administrators within a reasonable period of time, about two weeks, then hire an Attorney. If this is a case of a major harassment situation (# 2), such as a physical or sexual assault, call an Attorney within 24 hours.

I know that at my school there is a hotline you can call to report such things anonymously, but I'm not sure if you have something like that at your school. If you tell a teacher, and tell them not make sure that it is anonymous, I'm sure that they would, just make sure that it is someone you can trust. You shouldn't have to feel worthless, because you are not worthless, nobody is. Talk to your friends, or your parents if you can, and feel free to drop me an e-mail if you feel like you have no one to talk to.

You need to report this. It is abuse and very illegal. Don't worry about what others think, you have a right to be happy.

Tell someone you trust- they CAN and SHOULD protect you. If not, come back and tell me and I will go to school with you.
