How would you deal with someone that has been bullying you since fourth grade? I have talked to adults talked to councelors and I have talked to his mother who happened to be my fifth grade teacher yet he is still at it. I don't want to seem like a baby and file a no contact contract... although the idea has come up on multiple occasions. Did I mention I'm in seventh grade now? He might have even been bullying me before fourth but he has at least been bullying me since.

It seems that you've short of choices now. You can either

ignore the bully and walk away from him
or
file a no contact contract.

Think about it. What do you want to do? What do the counselors recommend?

They recomend ignoring him but the one I went to once was the only one that mentioned a no contract contract

Well, i am no teacher or adult but i do have experience on bullying. I have been bullied for a long time, since 3rd grade. I am now in 8th. The way I stopped bullying in 5th grade was to use humor as a defense. Look up quick and smart comebacks to verbal bullying. People don't bully you if they think they will be humiliated. If the bullying is physical, well, this may not be the best advice, but protect yourself. If the bully throws the first kick/punch don't hold back. This doesn't mean you should pick a fight, it just means that you protect yourself from physical injury. Also, most teachers don't give a damn about bullying, so I suggest you shouldn'T place to much of your hopes on them.

Hope this helps. :)

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing bullying. Dealing with bullying can be challenging, but there are several approaches you can take. Here are some steps you can consider:

1. Assert yourself: Stand up for yourself in a confident and calm manner. Let the person know that their behavior is unacceptable and tell them to stop. Use "I" statements to express how their actions make you feel.

2. Seek support from adults: Continue to reach out to trusted adults, such as your parents, teachers, or school counselors, and let them know about the ongoing bullying. They can provide guidance, support, and advocate on your behalf.

3. Document incidents: Keep a record of each instance of bullying, including dates, times, locations, and details of what happened. This documentation can be useful when reporting the incidents to a school administrator or authority figure.

4. Speak to a school administrator: Arrange a meeting with your school principal or counselor to discuss the situation. Share your concerns, provide the documented evidence, and ask for their assistance in addressing the issue.

5. Involve your parents: Keep your parents informed about the situation and discuss potential strategies with them. They can also communicate with the school and other parents involved, if necessary.

6. Focus on your well-being: Take care of yourself by engaging in activities that bring you joy and surrounding yourself with friends who support you. Spend time on hobbies, participate in extracurricular activities, and develop skills that boost your confidence.

7. Practice self-confidence: Work on building your self-esteem and self-confidence. Remind yourself of your worth and unique qualities. Find positive affirmations or practice activities that enhance your self-belief.

8. Develop a support network: Seek out friends, clubs, or organizations where you can meet and connect with like-minded individuals or other students who may have gone through similar experiences. Sometimes having a support network can provide comfort and empowerment.

Remember, it's important to prioritize your well-being and mental health. If the bullying continues despite your efforts, don't hesitate to involve authorities, such as school administration and even law enforcement if necessary.
