its probably just because you are "different" that they are being really stupid.
Bullying is something schools are now trying to stop. Have you spoken to your parents about this?

use your accent to get girls and then move your butt to Canada... WE RULE! and we are a lot nicer up here....

It's always rough being in a new place. I used to dance. We had a "jukebox" or "rockola". Everyone would put $ in it & we would dance. Mostly me cause I wasn't afraid of the attention. My point is find something you like & make the most of it you can. Talk to the adults in charge &/or your folks. Somebody's gotta listen. It might get worse b4 it gets better, but they will get tired of messing with you eventually. Please talk to a counselor....

You can't make people accept you. Believe me I've tried. All you can do is be yourself and maybe they will notice you in a positive way. As far as the bullying you need to talk to your principal about their policies on this matter. If he won't help then find others with the same problem and make a petition for other students to sign and form some school policies to put a stop this kind of intimidation. I've been in schools like that and told to suck it up and stop whining that it's a part of life. Living in fear of bull...

Bullies only grow up to be criminals and seriously hurting someone.
Most schools today don't allow this kind of behavior.
I hope I've been of some help. Good luck and God bless you.

Is it bullying or are you being too sensitive?

This is a simple definition of bullying and harassment:

Repeatedly doing or saying something to another person for the purpose of physically hurting (or threatening to physically hurt) OR seriously annoying, alarming or embarrassing that person.

Examples of bullying and harassment that occurs in school: Someone is threatening to beat you up in school, when walking to or from school, when you get off the bus, while talking to you on your cell phone or while you are online using instant messaging, in chat rooms or by email.

Someone is taking something of yours without your permission.

Someone is spreading rumors about you or your family. (whether it is true or not)

Someone is embarrassing you in front of others by either calling you names or doing something to you (like hiding your book, pulling your seat out from under you, etc.)

Someone is telling other kids not to talk to you or be friends with you.

Someone continues to shove into you in the halls and says it is always an accident.

Someone is sexually harassing you (always following you around, whistling at you when you walk by, making comments about your body, etc.)


Examples of being a little too sensitive: Someone has a nasty attitude with you (talks to you in a nasty tone of voice, etc.) or is being unfriendly (refuses to be around you or sit with you).

Someone is calling you names such as "stupid" or saying things like "you don't have any friends" and when they are doing these things they ARE NOT doing it in front of others to embarrass you.

If you are unsure how to handle the above situations, see your school counselor for some great advice!


Defeating Bullies at Lunch:

Move your seat! Ask a friend to move with you. If you are not allowed to change seats, ask an adult if you can change it. If they say no, tell your parents so they can talk to the person in charge to get your seat changed.

Sit close to an adult! Bullies can’t bully and teasers can’t tease around an adult – so sit as close to one as you can! If an adult who is supervising doesn’t see the problem, please tell a teacher you trust or your parents.

Be the first one to enter the lunchroom and the first one to leave! Don’t waste time in the halls when going to lunch or when getting back to class after lunch. Wasting time only gives bullies more opportunity to bother you.

Defeating Bullies in the Hall

Always be aware of who is ahead of you! If you see a bully or teaser ahead of you, DON’T pass the person and give him the opportunity to bother you by noticing that you are there! Take your time and slow down a little so they get farther ahead of you.

Always be aware of who is behind you! Don’t allow a bully or teaser to stay behind you in the hall. They will most likely follow you until you have reached a part of the school with no teachers around so they can harass you without fear of being caught. If you notice a bully or teaser behind you, stop and let them pass. Stop in to say hello to a favorite teacher or go to the front office or the nurses office to say hello.

Go a different way when possible! If your school has a first and second floor you may have a choice of taking more than one way to class. Choose the safest way, even if the safest one is the longest one, it is worth the longer walk to prevent giving the bully or teaser an opportunity to bother you.

Defeating Popular Bullies:

Don’t exchange insults with popular kids! This will only make them try harder to make you look bad in front of others. Try ignoring them when they have an audience or agree with them to get them to stop: “You’re right, I’m a terrible basketball player.” Later when they do not have an audience, you can approach them to tell them to stop: “Hey, stop making fun of me in front of others, you wouldn’t like it if it was happening to you.”

Don’t accept getting teased to fit in with the popular group! Some kids tolerate teasing to be accepted by a popular group of kids. If you are hoping they will stop teasing you as soon as they get to know you, it most likely will not happen.

Don’t hesitate to report the bullying or harassment! Many popular kids are very concerned about remaining popular, not only among their classmates but among their teachers. Mention what is happening to a teacher or counselor you trust. An adult talking with a student in this situation may be enough to stop it.

Defeating Bullies with comebacks!

The key to comeback lines is to avoid the temptation to trade name calling or personal insults with the bully or teaser. A great comeback line is brief and to the point and leaves the bully or teaser feeling that they did not get to you! Don't forget to always look them in the eye and keep cool - anger is a sign to them that what they are doing is working. Try some of the following, however always remember: if another student is threatening physical violence toward you, don't say anything to him or her - do your best to get away from the situation and to where a teacher or other adult is located.

"Why do you waste your time saying that stuff to me? Try someone else."

"Those things are ridiculous, but whatever."

"I don't do this to you. You should really think about that."

"I'm not sure why you keep saying these things to me, but it really doesn't matter."

"Okay. Finished?"

"That's funny, but enough already okay?"

"You really got me with that one, but enough already okay?"

"Here we go again, Tell me when your done."
