Jocks brag about their mucles and cheerleader girlfriends. Well my friend is getting bullied by some handegg players. (Sadly my school fits this stereotype) What should I do or tell him since I personally don't know what to do sadly. |
The first step is to stop hiding behind an 'imaginary friend' and face your problems head on. We all know it's you.
That shamed lie (why lie or feel ashamed when we don't even know who you are? that's the kind of weakness bullies can smell) has stopped folks from being able to help you. Notice the number one advice is: be there for your friend. But you ARE your friend. So that advice (that YOU asked for) is just making you feel even worse, because you can't help your friend, because you ARE him. See? It's a viscious cycle, with needless shame and fear in the center of it.
I know exactly what it's like, my mate. I had these problems up through sixth grade. It's easy to fix, but it can't happen over night.
That you're so frightened of being hurt explains why you make such a great target to these jerks. I was the same way. I got all worked up over their mockery, and that's why they made fun of me. As soon as I realized they were making fun of me because it was so funny for them, I realized there were better ways of amusing them: all they wanted was a cure to their boredom.
I just realized I was better than them, since I would never have been cruel to someone for fun, so I just started to mock them first with way burnier digs and they all realized I was the ish. It was more fun for us to all be on the same side. My circle of friends didn't expand THAT dramatically, but the number of people I had serious problems with at school dropped to zero (except for some douchey teachers, but that's the luck of the draw.)
