Answer 2

You probably need to do more than tell your teacher...do you have a guidance counselor that you can go to? How about the vice principal and the principal...?
Does your mom know that you are having such a hard time at school? She needs to call the admininstration building and speak to the superintendant or the Director....maybe you should threaten legal action if it doesn't stop....
There's a big thing now at schools with this kind of thing going on...and I for one think that NO ONE should be allowed to bully anyone...No One deserves that...
I am sure that it affects your learning capability, your concentration, and your overall desire to go to school...period...
Talk with your mom about this if you can...if not...then go to the higher ups...above the teacher..like I said, the admininstrator, the director, the superintendant...I don't know where you live but if you can threaten to call your local newspaper or your local newschannel, then do so. Maybe then, someone will do something to stop this bullcrap from going on at school.

I went through the same thing. Kids pick out the quiet ones they think will have a funny reaction (well, funny to them, anyway). They like to get a rise out of you. If you make it less "entertaining" they MAY stop. Have you tried making friends with one of his friends? Not the loud ones, but one of the quieter ones? Sometimes your enemy can become your friend if they perceive you differently. It was right to tell a teacher and WRONG that you aren't being protected. If it gets to the point that all you want to do is tackle his behind, then you have been pushed too far and you need more help than that teacher who appears not to have done anything. Have you talked to your guidance counselor or the person in charge of discipline for your grade? Sometimes they can either help you deal with it or make life harder for the mean kids. Sometimes, though, the kids are so bad that they just keep getting in trouble no matter what. Is there a teacher anywhere near you at all times of day? If so, just start hanging out near her/him. Maybe that will curb his asinine joking.

If you want to vent a little at him, you can do it within the rules in ways that might hurt his confidence. I have a feeling you can say, "Oh, how original" without a lisp, right? Have you thought about telling him, "Look, I know you have a crush on me, but do you have to let everybody else know, too?" You can rephrase that to suit your talking habits. I have no idea how bad your lisp is or what is causing it. I had a lisp when I first got braces, and I've known kids to have a lisp when they have to wear a palate expander before braces are put on their teeth. There are physical problems that can cause a lisp, too. Have you ever practiced talking at home so that you can try to work your way to talking without it? When I had braces, all I did one week was just read my books out loud at home, and within a few days, my lisp was gone. I know if it were that easy, you wouldn't have a lisp. But have you tried exercises to help reduce how noticeable it is?

One thing I can tell you is, if kids are going to tease you, they'll find something to tease you about no matter what your name is or whatever your difference is. The bullies always do. But, if you can find a way to defuse what he says, or avoid lisping afterward, it might cut down on some of it. I don't recommend stooping to his level, but you have to do something if your teacher hasn't responded in a positive way.

Do your parents know? It's sometimes easier for parents to get stuff done when you can't. The teacher may not even realize how much it hurts you.

I'm including a couple links that I hope will help you out even more than what I had to say. I know it hurts and I know how it ruins your concentration. Sometimes that is all the kids wanted their teasing to do when I was younger. I hope you find a way to get him to want to stop soon. Cuz you can't force a kid to do something, but you can make him WISH he did. ;-)

What you need to do, is learn a few unique and eloquent profanity laced tirades. Then, when this boy makes fun of your lisp, really let go on him. Belittle him. Question his masculinity and sexuality. Point out that he is a coward and a bully. And do it loudly in front of everyone, his friends, your friends, everyone. Let everyone know that you aren't afraid of him, and that you can give as well as you can get.

Young boys are particularly sensitive about their appearance. Make fun of his clothes and his shoes and his face. They are also sensitive about girls. Point out that he has a crush on so and so and that she thinks he is a loser, which he is.

Prepare. Practice. Make out what you are going to say, and rehearse it. Then, when the moment is right. STRIKE!!!!

This can be a lot of fun, but try not to enjoy it too much. It isn't a nice thing to do, but it is necessary to deal with bullies like this from time to time.

Don't be afraid. Take a stand!

Answer 5

the boy might like u.......but now how about we smile by reading a hilarious joke?? u'll like it:)

Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big deep hole.

"Wow...that looks deep." "Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is."

They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise "Geeez. That is REALLY deep... here.. throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise."

They pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. Nothing.

They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise."

The two drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole.

Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole.

The two men are astonished with what they've just seen... Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over.

"Hey... have you two guys seen my goat out here?"

"You bet we did! Craziest thing I've ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!"

"Nah", says the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie."

Answer 6

Well, i think lisps are cool! Yeah sometimes you can't uinderstand what the person is saying but that's okay! If nothing has been done after you told the teacher... that's a problem! Have you told your parents? If not you should and tell them that you told the teacher and nothing happened. Youcould also try telling a different teacher but getting into higher extremes... the principal. Good Luck!

Answer 7

ignore, dont show them it effects you, you could even make up a name for the boy who teases you, after they see it doesnt matter to you they will stop =D and ya teachers dont do much these days, which is why i feel like slapping them on their faces lol anyways Paula is a very nice name, nothing wrong with it, just dont let those boys see that they're effecting you, then they will stop.

Answer 8

Ether have your parents talk to the teacher or the boys parents, you did not do anything to deserve this, it shows
insecurity in the boy thats doing this to you. and if nothing
else think of him a good nickname and have your best friends
to have everyone call him that , he might understands how it
feels to be laughed at. He won't like it to well either. Give him
some of his own medicine. Good Luck and Sorry for you
troubles.

Answer 9

tell another teacher, and if that doesn't help go to the head of your school and complain there... bullying shouldn't be accepted in any school. Just tell them the truth and talk it out with the others.
If you want to take measures in own hand maybe think about some kind of self-defense sport and kick his ***. But I really don't recommend that (the *** kicking part, self-defense training is always good).

Good luck!

Answer 10

Just concentrate on your friends. Kids can be so cruel. Ignore him and the other kids. Try not to let it become physical....that could get ugly. Just know you are a good person and lisp or no lisp you are still Paula. To hell with him!!!!!

Answer 11

if you have even only a good friend, you must feel yourself lucky maybe the luckiest in this world, dear..
i know its hard to have a position like that -you will be upset, feel like you crashed into the wall-, but you will get use to it and they will stop someday - maybe just stop a lil bit- and you will understand it was just a bad past and you will be undistracted, unstressed after that...
*the important thing is you need to be seen like you dont bother them* if you can do it very carefully and believable, and do it -dont give up!- with lots of patient maybe just like a long time, you will see they will start to stop a little bit and they become more pointless....
dont have to tell teachers anything - maybe tell if you have very good one- , and just be friends with your friend/s...
patience my friend.. (K)
