Dear
A....
The
first thing I must say is that you have been doing the right
things in talking to your mom and to your teacher about the
way that you feel. The fact that the bullying has not yet
stopped does not mean that either you or they have done anything
wrong. It may just be that they, like you, don't know what
to do for the best.
Could
you speak to both of them again? Don't feel bad about asking
them to listen to you - and try to understand if they are
not sure what to do for the best. If they don't seem to understand
how serious this is, why not show them a copy of your email
to me and of my reply to you?
You
say you are being bullied on the internet. If someone is sending
you abusive emails you should keep copies of them all and
show them to your mother and teacher as well. Depending on
what has been said in the email, it may be that a crime has
been committed. In Scotland, if someone was sending threats
of physical harm through email, this would certainly be a
matter for the police.
You
might also want to look at some new
leaflets which we have published. They are intended for
young people and parents in Scotland but I think you will
find them helpful.
The
solution to your problem will be found in talking to people
you know and trust.
With
very best wishes,
Anti-Bullying
