Bullying is horrible. I know because I am
being bullied and it's all over a boy. The girls used to be
my mates. Now they have all turned against me and I can't
cope any more. I'm always in tears, not wanting to go in to
school.
We have
just had the Easter holiday and I thought it would be all
over - but no. When I got back to school they would start
saying things. To make things worse they spat at me. And to
make things much worse the teachers are not doing anything
to stop it. They say that they will sort it but it just drags
on and on.
For
all you people who haven't been bullied - you're lucky. If
people try to start, just walk away. Don't let them pick on
you and do get all your friends, family and even your teachers
to help.

Dear B....
Thank you for your message. This type of
group bullying among girls is quite common - but it won't
really help you to know that. What may help is the knowledge
that you have have done exactly the right thing in asking
for help - even though your teachers have not been able to
solve the problem straight away. Group bullying like this
can be really difficult to solve. It may be that the teachers
are not sure what to do. They may even be frightened of making
things worse.
The
important thing is for you to be able to ask for help if you
need it, and to keep on asking for help until the problem
stops. If you don't do that and keep your hurt to yourself,
your teachers, family and friends may think that the bullying
has stopped.
