How can avoid being bullied?

I've been bullied at school for years, often I dont want to school and fake illnesses to get out of it. I get bullied loads by people because im simply not their idea of the perfect girl. The teachers at school have tried to stop it but they either cant...

do anything or dont care, my parents have tried but they cant help either...what can I do?

Oh geez, I know exactly what it's like. I used to get teased so bad through junior high. I'd literally wake up feeling sick to my stomach and be like I can't go to school, so yeah, I missed a lot of time, but it was AWEFUL! I eventually changed schools and at my new school, I haven't had any problems, most of them are actually very nice! That would be my advice, but you say you can't switch schools, so resort to plan B. you know you can actually get the police involved, and it doesn't matter if it's physical or not, it's still harassment, if you continue to get the teachers involved and it doesn't work, then go to the police. It is extreme, but it's better than that hell your enduring everyday. And DON'T listen to balamuk and change yourself, those kind of people are just low and will tease you no matter what. Think about it this way, Who the HELL are they to judge you? I'm sure your a very nice person and it's a shame you have to be treated like that, nobody should, it's inhuman. Those kind of people are just plain shallow and aren't happy with themselves, so they try to drag you down with them, don't let that happen. And don't start yelling and fighting with them, it didn't do me any good and besides, that would just be sinking to their level. They will get theirs anyway...The ones who bullied me sure as hell did! Well, I wish you the best of luck!

it's both, it's too late to switch im halfway through gcse. iv reported all the physical stuff, or the school said that they were going to.

Remember this, that in the end... you reep what you sew. They will get what they've done. What you're going through builds character. When you get through with this. You will be a much stronger person. You will have knowledge of what it's like being bullied physically and verbally. Could write a book on it and start making a difference. Or go to the public and let them hear your voice. You are not the only one being bullied. Lay your heart at rest, this will pass.

my friend, i suspect you've heard of the Threefold Law...
and slightly off topic, i do write a lot of stories.

Maybe they are right and you should change.

just because im not exactly like them that gives them the right to bully does it? balamuk i wouldnt be surprised if you're a bully the way you talk. they hate me whatever i pretend to be, why should i lie to myself to keep them happy...eh?

Really nothing personal, dear fracturedutopia, but you said: I've been bullied at school for years. I mean, this is not normal, why you all the time? Maybe people don't like something about you, or ur an easy target, anyway, you should consider there must be something about you...
Why do they hate you? Answer me this please.
I am really not a bully, but if I see you I don't know if I will be able to help it ) Just kidding, girl!
What the hell is wrong with the HIs in US?! Damn pricks :D
Well, I agre with brighteyez, but I think you shouldn't go to the police, because the matter can be dealt with in another way. You need to show them you are not afraid, that you are cool and stop being their target. This is why you have to CHANGE something about you. It's obvious you don't have what it takes
If you call the police, they will hate you more and things might get worse. I think it's a bad idea.
Take care!

balamuk, thye hate me because of the past...i was a lil bit wierd when i was *thinks back* 8 and it's followed me. i cant change that. They hate me because i have scars on my face, i cant change that. They hate me because i wear black and listen to rock music. I DONT WANT TO CHANGE THAT.

Then I would recommend you to find some others like you (but probably it's not easy at school!) - dark rockers. Here is your answer. Find people who share the same interests as you. Moving to another school won't probably solve much of the problem, because your description still looks a little... away from normal. And you know, people don't like those who are notlike them. And you are clearly NOT.
I would suggest you to try and look a little more normal, change your attitude and then change the school and start over(people don't react to changes too much). If you really want to be the way you are...I have no solution for you. Because they are many MORE than you. So they set the rules. And there is not such thing as perfect tolerance.
So you cannot tell me I was wrong or mean when I said Maybe they are right and you should change.
And I will repeat myself a little, but the most important change is that in attitude. And do not neglect the clothes, they still show who you are.
If you need more advice let me know

...i still find it rather irritating that you simply accept the majority as the group who are right. if the majority say it's ok to go on a mad killing spree, would you believe them right? probably not, just because theres more of it doesnt mean its better...like bullshit, u can pile it up til its as high as everest, its still bullshit just theres more of it. so this majority keeps growing, and people actually BELIEVE that just because its big, it's right. is minority a crime? yes i guess so.

I completely agree

with me or balamuk? there are no people like me, or very few where i go to school and although i get along with them, we are still the minority...most of them are too scared to help me, or dont want to get involved because of family connections and such. sometimes its just too much bullshit and too little understanding.

Take kickboxing. You'll gain some muscle, and some self defense moves.
Serioulsy, there is nothing wrong with knowing how to defend yourself, and then you really wont be so worried.
Good Luck,

thanks

Here I totaly know wot u are going through or went through i'm having the exact same proplem.. tell me wot have u done n if its helpd

What can you do? It's a shame that people do what they do to one another. They're subjecting you to cruelty and violence in an environment of supposed learning. They do what they do say what they say because as individuals and moreover as a whole (group) their hindered souls seek to deconstruct and/or restrict any and every other who opts to travel a path without them. Misery Loves Company They wollow in their own filth of fear and uncertainty. Their own insecurity drives them to strip you of your security. Your remaining school career may NEVER be free of bullies, but your understanding of why bullies bully may free you from an otherwise unyielding internal review and /or unfavorable assessment of self. Physical attacks on the other hand aren't so easy to ignore and absolutely under NO circumstances should they ever be tolerated. These types of harassment should be reported immediately to the proper authorities before they are ever allowed to fester, grow develop into a potentially irreversible threatening occurence. Do not allow them to distract and/ or deter you from your own designated course of action for they are motivated of emptiness, seeking to remove you of the very substance they are lacking.
Hold True and be strong!! Best wishes

the best thing to do is completely ignore them..if they ridicule you in class then just tell them that the world would be a better place to live in if they had never been born...or ask them if their zookeeper knows they are at school..if they are physically abusive then run from them, keep away from them.

Sad to say....when all else fails....(i.e. legal authority/school authority/parental authority), with bullies, it will come down to pretty much just 'two' alternatives. You either do your best to avoid/ignore/take, what they dish out or....'you' either do, or have something done, about it. And again sadly to say, it more often than not ends up the latter solution that is about the only thing they understand, and that will work.

I have read all the advice in each post. Some being some fairly reasonable advice, some being rather rediculous, some from those that obviously have no clue. And even again sadly to say, and a shame, you may well need to go the 'Selfdefense' route, and handle those bullies in that fashion. Being just about the only thing they will ever understand, that will ever get their attention, anyway. Unless of course, you simply prefer to just 'live with it' for the duration. I would exhaust 'proper' venue first, but then, and with a modicom of control, do what ya gotta do!

Fracture,
I answered this but I don't know where it went...anyway here is what to do.
The next time these bullies pick on you and bother you,simply tell a teacher ( that knows you well). After a few days or weeks they will probably start back up again. Fine....when they do go to a different teacher (that knows you well). Again after a while they will probably start back up again. These bullies take this as weakness when you report their mean actions to the teacher, but what you are doing is setting up a plan.
The 3rd time you get bullied by one of those idiots, you got to the nearest phone you can get your hands on. You call 911 and let them know that you are being bullied and you want the police there as soon as possible. When the police come they may think it's some kid looking for attention etc..until you explain to then about the other teachers you told about your situation. I am not real fond of running..why should you run? Make the bullies pay, make them alter THEIR LIFE for their abusive ways. Calling 911 is not extreme, do you know why? Because if adults bullied one another in their workplace you better believe the bullying would stop or the bully would be fired and told not to come back, and if the bully tried to come back the boss would file a restraining order, if the bully comes back again..he goes to jail. Why should it be different for you just because you are younger? By you taking a stand now you are learning that you are not going to run scared, you will stay and address your situation. When the police arrive tell them that YOU are not running and you want a restraining order on those jerks..let them and everybody who can hear you that you mean exactly what you say. IT STOPS TODAY GOOD-LUCK!!

Bullying can be a serious matter cause it lowers your self esteam and can make you feel pretty stupid but you can always try to ignore it
