I really hope that I get some advice form this thread....

Next year, I'm going to a new school. Exciting, isn't it? Well, there's just one problem: THREE KIDS FROM MY OLD SCHOOL WILL BE GOING THERE, AS WELL! Now, I know what you're probably thinking: "Isn't that a good thing? I mean, at least you'll know some kids there." Well, no is the simple answer.

One of those kids (let's call him...Bob) is saying that he is going to sabotage me. I don't know what he means by this, but I know he is serious. We recently had an...erm, "incident", and I don't think he's very happy about it. I can't tell you much, but I will say that I sincerely apologized. I think that Bob should also be the one apologizing, because the past few years have been filled with teasing from him-- which is why I KNOW that he means this whole sabotage thing.

I am worried that the other two kids who will be going to my school (let's call them...Ginger and Amy) are going to eventually team up with him. We are all going to meet for a dinner and discuss the school in the beginning of August. I have a feeling that my nightmare will begin then. I am also really worried that I won't make friends because of him, and that the rest of the years that I spend at that school will be filled with MORE teasing (I was never popular). Please help me!

Well, I "bob" continues to tease you tell a teacher, or just stick up to him. But if you want to stop it immediatly just ignore him because he'll think that you don't care and it's no fun if you don't care. Hope that helped!

Thank you! That helped a lot

I was going to kinda say the same thing. I know it seems like you will see them alot because you already know them but your new school will probably have 700 other kids that are all looking to make friends. Why meet up with him this summer if you don't like him? Just go to the new school and pretend you don't know anybody. If you don't pay attention to him, he will get bored like CJL said. He is probably just as scared as you are to start the new school. Good luck. Bullies and teasers are :sign0003:

Yeah That Advice Really Works!
Trust me i know how u feel Being Teased..
And i just Ignored them And they Left me Alone
Just Try it and it WILL Work.

I Am Going to high School Two! ( We dont have a middle school!) so its 7th to 12th! Im scared with all the new teachers Lockers All so new! Ah!

I don't think that you have much to worry about. There are 3 people you want to avoid in a very large crowd of students. Chances are, you won't really see too much of them.

Agreed.

And when you do see them, just pretend you don't.

I agree that sometimes ignoring works wonders, but sometimes it doesn't. Go ahead and give it a try--ignoring them might take the "fun" out of it and you can easily lose them in the crowd of a bigger school. But, in case they're ruining your life (again...) a couple of other ideas:

~~be honest with your mom or dad about what's going on at school. I didn't tell my parents for three years and it was three years of it before I got out--very stupid. Be smart--be honest.

~~tell someone in administration (like a school counselor, vice-principal, or someone in the office). teachers (especially in Jr. High or High school) really can't be that helpful. What are they going to do? tell them to stop for the 48 minutes your actually in their class and just make the kids reek havoc afterwards? But tell a counselor and not only can they help you through it, but they can hit those kids where it really hurts--by telling their parents.

~~find two or three "soul mates"--people who you click with so well that they will stand up for you and stick by you--from day one. So Loser Boy (a.k.a. Bob) says you're stupid and ugly--you need someone to tell him that, not only are you smart and gorgeous, but he's too much of a moron to know the difference. And you do the same for them. When someone bashes you, you're too busy being brave to think of a good comeback--but someone just a few feet away has all the gusto that you can't find right then. And don't be afraid to tell someone when you meet them--"There's this idiot who's mom didn't teach him how to be nice--could you stick with me when he shows up and starts being stupid?"

Good Luck and let me know how it all goes--

Yeah, I have to go through a lot of teasing too, there is this 16 year old at my church who thinks he can talk to me like he is my mother. And he can't get the hint that I'm ignoring him, so that particular move doesn't really work. Usually he doesn't follow me when I walk away, so that's what I usually do. But you should try ignoring him before you do anything else. I mean, why waste your energy when that works? School is starting on the 8th for me, I don't know about you. But you should let us know how it works out.
