Hello. You guys may or may not know me, but to me, that is irrelevant. My IGN is Southward and if you see me around say hi.
Alright, that's enough introducing, today I am going to talk to you guys about something personal. I am hopeful that you guys will read and respect my story. Here goes:
So, I am currently Year 8 at primary school, I live in New Zealand and I have been affected by bullying. I am an emotional person, that's just who I am, I can't change that. But I have been made fun of because I swim and I don't play rugby, therefore I am deemed "weak". This of course makes me sad that they would call me weak, even though I go to the gym for swimming. I work out more than they do, I am Head Boy at my school and I am a lot smarter than they are. But somehow, because I don't want to play a sport that can seriously hurt people, I am a pussy. I don't know what gives them the authority to do this but oh well.
So, continuing the story. I do play rugby occasionally at school and there is one kid who thinks it is hilarious to make me cry. I am on the ground, trying to release the ball while 5 other kids are on top of me trying to drag the ball away from me. I held on, trying to release the ball while this kid kicked me and yelled "Release the ball you f**k wit!" so I did release the ball. And because I was crying after he repeatedly kicked me in the ribs, it was hard to make out what I was saying. But what I was trying to say was "I did release the ball!" but he just laughed as I ran away from the scene.
What infuriates me is that the teacher was watching this all unfold and she did nothing. The only thing she did was say to me "It's hard to release isn't it".
That is my story, do you have any advice to deal with this bully?
