Hello Tishon, How are you today? I am so happy you wrote to me about what’s troubling you. You should have written to me earlier so that you need not suffer in silence. I too experienced the same thing. I did not know whom to turn to when I was bullied at school. Bullies do not understand the pain that they inflict on those they bully. Sometimes, they think it is a joke but it may cause serious harm physically and mentally. You must bring this to the attention of your school counsellor or discipline teacher. They have the experience to handle such situations. I am sure the matter will be dealt with fairly. Do not forget to inform your parents too. Your parents can work with your school administrators to settle the issue. You must be feeling angry deep inside. Talk to your closest friends about the matter. It made me feel better; I’m sure it will make you feel better too. Also, try not to be alone when you are at school. Bullies tend to hesitate picking on their victims when they are in the company of friends. I hope the bullies learn a lesson after your school counsellor or discipline teacher deals with the issue. Their parents should be called to school and be notified of their children’s behaviour. Meanwhile, don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Do take care and keep me informed of further development. Your friend, Kiron
