At that vocational camp I went to, I was treated like an idiot by a few people who were my roommates. They called me Twitchy because I had tremors in my hand. They also mocked my love of the Beatles' music. I tried ignoring them, but it didn't work so well. They even gave me a hard time because of my bowling.

For the past month or so I have been at home nearly every day. I'm not on my holidays. I'm going to a new school.
The final straw broke last month on a friday morning. I went into the small corridor near my tutor class and some kid kicked me in the nuts saying somthing about the police (I've had to give a statement to the police because a group of bullies from West Exe assaulted me on my way home). So now i'm going to a new school in September. They've got room for 1200 pupils but they've only got 900 so it's a nice place with a large campus and it's amazing.

Me too! I'm not in touch with society. I'm a very shy quiet girl who talks slow and sometimes doesn't know how to put inside feeling into words (which means when someone picks on me I let it slide since I wouldn't know what to say). I also don't know alot of things and terrible in school, which some, if not most, take as being stupid. The fact that I'm into anime, Japan, and childish things, like Thomas, sets ppl off more. I'm just an awkward child in a young woman's body...Right now I'm in college and some of the anime loving kids think I'm ignorant and/or niave because I'm the way I am. The fact that I get academic probation warnings doesn't help the situation. I try my best, I really do, I just feel stupid.

My Dad's best friend was a bully to me last night.
My family went over to his house for dinner, and I was bored because I had nothing to do. I had not eaten all day, so I went for a cookie they had. I asked My Dad's best friend's wife, who agreed. I was trying to close the top to the cookies, and all of a sudden they spilled everywhere. I was upset and jeering was my Dad saying, "Nice mess! If you were sitting down instead of roaming, you wouldn't have made it!" I went over and said, "Why are you always being mean to me?" Then his friend tugged my arm, waved his fist at me and said, "I'd suggest you sit down before this fist is your dinner!!"
I was scared and started crying. My Dad said I embarassed him.
I seriously am pissed off with both my dad and his friend. What should I do? Never go back to his friend's house again or forget about it?

o.o Never go there ever again! If he really did hit you like that, that would be a child abuse case. If he does hit you, report him. He's not even your parent. Your father should've attack him for that. I would stay far away from there.

No, no, no.
You misunderstood. I said he WANTED to. He never did.

I hate to say it, but I think I'm with your dad on this one.
You were about to be served dinner, but instead, go for a cookie, and in turn, create a mess of the guy's kitchen. And depending on how you phrased your own words, "Why are you being so mean?" could have prompted your dad's best friend to interpret it as you being disrespectful to your father, hence the fact he said what he did.

I can see where you're coming from with that mostly Ryan, but Jake, it certainly wasn't your dad's friend's place to threaten you like that. Like inuprincess said, he's not even your parent.
It'd certainly put me off going there again, but then looking at it from another perspective, perhaps your dad's friend was having a bad day or something like that? If you've had dealings with him before, was it out out of character for him?

I have no time for any-one who could deliberatley make some-ones life a misery, due the the fact I know what its like. I've taken a few minor-incidents but one that sticks out in my memory was in yr9. This total weasel, honestly I'm suprised he wasnt bullied himself. Stick-thin, stuck out eye and a HUGE forehead and his mouth and nose look as if some-one had stretched them at birth. He used to give me loads of crap about being gay, never doing P.E, coming high up in some subjects and who I was friends with. He then, get this. the cheeky sod started demanding money off me, I told him where he could go like (just because I was being bullied doesnt mean I was going to be told what to do like) and he just laughed and walked off. Then one night I was staying after school for my SATs revision classes, I assume he was behind on detention and he tried to set fire to my hair. Emphasis on tried like I said he was stick thin, I swung my bag at him (full of revision guides, notebooks and folders) and he fell into a locker and was like "yea alrite god i wus only jokin u unfriendly word" stands up, gives me evils then walks off. He only used to just say stupid insults at me like 'f*g' or summt after that and they never bothered me

Maybe he was one of those people who bullies others to avoid being bullied himself. He certainly doesn't sound like a figure of menace, perhaps he thought "gay = wimp" and that you'd be an easy target, therefore allowing him to become someone feared.

Well, it's certainly a great thing to know you're not letting him get to you. Never show a bully you have a weak spot!

I dunno. I dont feel sympathy for him if that is the case I'm very small and weak, but I'll attack him after all that. o.o If he kept on with that comment, I'll just smash my biggest textbook in his face to break his nose. I can't stand that word. o.o

Like most everyone else here, I got the bully treatment when I was in school. I got picked on mainly because I was (and am still) smaller and skinnier than most other people my age. Guess I looked like an easy target. Ironically, though, I was never picked on for liking things like Pokemon or Thomas. I'm glad I'm out in the "real world" now--bullies are far fewer when you are at university or working.
I've discovered that bullies are equal-opportunity harrassers. They pick on anything they can: height, weight, intelligence, hair color, hair shape (i.e. curly or straight), skin color, eye color, religion, gender, disability, whatever, so no one escapes their wrath.
BTW, bullying is bad enough as it is--there doesn't need to be video games promoting it.

I got bullied by 8th graders but not for thomas, they said i look like Harry Potter and would shove me into lockers and stuff like that, finally this kid chris stood up for me and they stopped. Now people call me anerexic (can't spell too good) because am skinny and I can't get them too stop.

You and I aren't that different donald910. There was this 7th grader who called me fat and whenever he saw me, he would hit me. I started walking away from him whenever he came up to me. Soon, he started leaving me alone.
I think the best way to end the torment is to walk away from them whenever they come up to you. And if that doesn't work, I would tell somebody.

I would suggest going to the teachers first. You must explain the situation, and also explain that if they do nothing, that you will not tolerate it and that if there is no intervention, you will take the matter into your own hands.
Then you need some elaborate scheme of some sort. I assume you're not the fighting type, but it might be wise to attempt an out-of-school situation, that just happens to be near an authority figure.
I don't know where you live, or how this would work, but the mainstream media would love to rat out on a school not supporting it's students. You could try telling a news station. Then the entire area would know. And the school would be in a vulnerable situation, and to keep it's reputation, would need to intervene. (This won't work in a Private School.)
