How to make your classmates stop disturbing u without causing fights or cursing?
Sweetheart, the first thing to remember is to try to not get too upset by these people. They have nothing better to with their time and they simply enjoy annoying people. I had similar problems when i was in my first year at high school and now i am in the 5th year. The best thing you can do is tell your teacher or any other teacher you trust. That is what i did. They reffered these people to the headteacher and that was them sorted out. If you can also ask your teacher to moves seats because you are not willing to put up with this carry on anymore. Don't be embarassed or shy to speak to a teacher about this, because it's not you that is in the wrong. If speaking to the teacher doesn't work out, get one of your parents to come and speak to your teacher. You don't deserve to put up with this. Just remember though, that these people are so insecure about themselves that the only way to forget about their own problems is by bothering others. Don't let yourself be put down, at the end of the day, they are the ones who are going to waste their years in high school and end up working in a fastfood restaurant all their life with no qualifications. Speak up about this and it will get sorted out, it did for me and it will for you. I wish you all the best! :)
Reply:sorry, your classmates disturb you because they know you wont hit them or do anything about it.
Reply:First let me send you a big hug and a very large and sincere salute for wanting to be a learning person while surrounded by people who don't. You have the advantage over them, even if it doesn't seem like that at times. You want to do well; you want to study; you want to triumph over a difficult environment. This is a precious side to your character and I'm sure that lots of people who read your question will want to join me in saluting your insight and your courage. In the fullness of time you will be a role-model for other people. If you have watched The West Wing, look at the character of Charlie Young - brought up in a rough area of DC, surrounded by gangs, with a fair slice of personal tragedy; you can and will be like him.





Practical stuff: have you talked to your class teacher about this? S/he can't be unaware of what's going on. Don't just talk about the teasing - talk about how much it's interfering with your real need to learn, and see what s/he has to suggest. I don't live in your country so I'm not sure about what might be available to you, but are there homework clubs? after-school clubs? etc.? Also have you talked to your parents? and do you have an older brother or sister in the same school? because allies are always useful and sometimes the outsider sees more of the game.





I've only got one more suggestion, and I think you need lots, so I'm sorry that I can only come up with one, and you might think it's silly - but I'd be very tempted to have a T-shirt printed with a slogan like: 'Proud of who I am; Proud of what I do; Proud of where I'm going; What about you?' and I'd wear it under a zipped jacket or similar until the right moment presented itself and then I'd stand there and reveal it with an 'I mean this' expression on your face. (If you like the idea, you could get some more T-shirts printed and form a society).





Good luck to you and have a wonderful life.
