Resolved Question Everyone seems to bully me at school just because they can? It's because I don't react, I just take it. It's got to the point where everybody gangs up on me as they think i'm a 'retard' and i'm thick when i'm not. I just keep quite, stay away from people and get on with my work but they come and find me just to make fun of me. It drives me mad, I just want people to leave me alone; I like to be alone, do my work, read the newspaper or read a book but they have to be nasty to me as i'm not the typical 'lad' who drinks, smokes and plays Fifa which everyone seems to be doing at 17 which i'm totally against Best Answer - Chosen by Asker You might really hate hearing this but stick up for you self! You don't deserve to be treated like this and you know it. Trust me if you stick up for yourself and throw back meaningfully comments then sooner or later they'll stop. If one of them physically attacks you then fight back! *Kick there ***" You might be stronger than the other person, if not then at-least try fighting back.. This will show the others that you can get physical and so on they'll get scared and stop bullying, Hope this helped. Other Answers (2) wow 17 and still get bullied.
