NASAFanboy Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 There's this kid at my school who is bullying me and everyone associated with me. Not in the "your stupid" way, but in a extremely racist and in a way that performs very obscene verbal attacks of my reputation and family (So yes, he is slandering me).Along the way, he is somehow turning my own friends against me, and is acting good to others to obtain their loyalty. It's as of he's just targeting me. He taunts me all day, and cannot stop insulting my ideals and dignity despite several attempts to get him to stop. If I try to make peace, he rebuffs it and it makes it even worser. And I have tried many, many times. The school officials have intervened, and he's not changing. It's as if his sole life purpose is to destroy my social standing. So basically, I have no options left, but to fight. But there is a probelm.First of all, I want to get into colleges like MIT. I don't want this to hurt it. It's not going to look good.But he won't stop slandering me and my family, and is making my life at school a complete living hell.So, should I just go on an all-out assault, or just try to transfer somewhere else? The reason I'm posting here is because I have few loyal friends left whom I can discuss with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Unrelated Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 That's tough, but really, there isn't a whole lot you can do about it if you've already done all you say.What sort of official involvement has this issue seen? Has the bullies parents been spoken with? Usually alerting parents to the situation can really get a point across. Are your parents involved?What grade are you in? Technically, you could file a restraining order, and depending on how it goes, he may have to be the one to relocate. I remember in high school, there was a serious sexual abuse case, and the girl (the victim) filed a restraining order against the guy, and the guy had to transfer schools.Think about it this way, too... What makes this kid so much better than you?Nothing.He is below you.He has to resort to putting others down to reassure his own self-worth.My advice: Don't make it physical, that would be the worst thing you could do. I know it might feel hard to resist, but that will just be ruining in the end.And about your friends: You say he is "turning your friends against you"? If someone is so easily swayed by some big tough bullies choice racial comments or whatever, that they are no longer your friends, were they really your friends in the first place?Just take the legal way, restraining orders, try and get the police involved (slander is pretty serious, depending on how old you are, and what is being said)It may seem like the "wussy" way out to hide behind things like that, but if you want to be successful later on in life, you can't be starting wars now.

drakesdoom Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Where are you and what grade are you in, this can change the outcome.If you can get him to strike at you in view of a teacher you can do whatever you want. I broke a kid's arm but because he punched me in the back right in front of a teacher first I got no punishment of any kind.Also it is only illegal if they catch you.

Deadpangod3 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 If he assaults you in any physical way you have the right to protect yourself, even if it involves making him eat his own arm...ok that might be a bit too farI've learned that if you can counter their statements with facts or in some case just some comeback. If you do it right eventually they'll find it not worth continuing and leave you alone,it even works on ROBLOX if you can keep doing it long enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) The forum is a not an armchair therapist. I've been through stuff like this and I know what it's like, but the forums are definitely not a place for this. There's tons of resources irl to help you fight it. And by that, I don't necessarily mean "your parents". There are resources, social workers, school authority, etc. Don't be scared to go to those people, it's what they're there for.I'll close this now, I'd rather not see this turn vitriol. If you have questions or anything, you can PM me./thread Edited November 22, 2013 by stupid_chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
