Why are intelligent people so often bullied?

Help me; I'm being bullied; Why won't people just leave me alone?

  • So, the majority of the bullying comes from school. I'm 19 and I'm about to be a Senior in High School. Everyone, thinks so little of me, everyone thinks and calls me names like stupid, crazy retard, ugly, creepy, scary and weird; but not to my face though. Everyone laughs at me, no one likes being anywhere near me or even sometimes be seen talking to me. I'm quiet so what? And I hardly have any friends either. Doesn't give people the right to treat me like trash. Everyone probably including the administrators and teachers thinks I'm this crazy, dumb or mentally ill person. Everyone talks about me and spread hatred of me. People even hesitate from sitting near me. Like if we all were sitting like in an auditorium, you would see the Verticale and horizontal rows of empty seats in front of and beside me. There's nothing I can really do but to ignore it and move on with my miserable life. Why do people have to be so bitter and cold like that? And people always wonder why people lose their cool now days. I can't wait to finish school. Honest I really don't care if someone doesn't like me; I just hate hearing it and being name called. Kids even freak and and sometimes even stare and act all scared when ever I'm around. They don't have anything else to do or talk about other than me. How sad and pathetic.

  • Answer:

    Well, i do know people like that, one of them is just a generally scary person, and she doesnt shower, so we avoid her, and then there are people that are just very intrapersonal and just dont talk much. I would expect that you arent scary, and that you bathe, so you are more then likely intrapersonal. If it is just out of you're comfort zone to talk aloud, thats fine, but chances are you are in a school with a lot of really mean people. Last year, i was very intrapersonal except for in one class, people thought i was either that mute kid, or that crazy psycho kid. But i did have friends, ones that had a common interest as me. And so last year i just stayed with my friends, surrounded myself with them, and said screw you people who dont like me. This year, i decided to get out of my comfort zone and talk alot. I have gotten in quite a bit of trouble at school, but im generally popular, but now everyone thinks that im that crazy person, which is true.... i still dont care what other people think about me though, i dress really strangely to school, but im still popular with the general crowd. When people do try to mess with you to your face, it depends on how they do it. If its through words, then always have a come back, always think ahead, and never wait to give an answer, it can be very important, and people will respect you more if you always give solid answers straight away. If its physical, if they are like "Want to fight, small fry?" Act confident, say something like "Sure Shrek, you can choose the time and place, but, can i have an ear candle while your at it?" that way they know you arent scared, and you vocally humiliated them. Hope this helps.

You need to ignore those mean kids! They are mean for a couple of different reasons 1) Jealousy 2) threatened by you 3) afraid of speaking to you IT could be any reason but the best thing to do is not let it bother you! I dont think this is really bullying b/c you didnt say anything about them being violent to you, them just staying away and calling you names behind your back is what kids do Immature kids but kids at that! Just be yourself and ignore those people. AND THE KICKER ADVICE walk around with a Smile on your face all the time! They will think your up to something or knwo something they will want to or have to knwo about and maybe even talk to you then! :)

People do that because they need some way to get their kicks. I've been made fun of pretty much my whole life. People told me I was fat, ugly, useless, and nothing compared to my sister. Everyone loved my sister. But, what got me through? I put someone in my life that wuld help me and love me no matter what! If you don't have anyone that comes to mind, then know that I will always be here for you, even if I don't know who you are! You can e-mail me at [email protected]. Hope to hear from you!

Im not going to tell you what everyone usually says: "Ask for help from a teacher." Because that never works. I used to get bullied when i was in 3rd grade and throughout the years I chose to stand up for myself and tell them i didnt give a damn what they thought. Now i graduated from middle school and Im going to start highschool Im not the most popular girl but i have a few friends. My best advice is to stand up for yourself. I know its easy to say but hard to do. Try to find the courage inside of you and if things still dont change think that in a few years they will need your help. You'll be successful and their lives will suck. Every individual is beautiful learn to love yourself and others will too. Hope I helped. Also, dont do anything crazy like try to kill yourself or something. Those people are stupid and don't deserve you to suffer for them. When you're feeling down just write your feelings down it actually takes some of the sadness away its worked for me. Good Luck.

This happens to me to it's because they no i won't do anything about it so next time do something about it next time someone is being rude to you smile back and complement them it really bugs people and eventually they might see your not really weird or mental or anything

It's good that you dont give a sh** about them. They are obviously people from a bad community. You must learn to either accept what they're doing or stand up to what they're doing. The third choice, which i recommend, is to move schools.

Mr.Tolf

Ignore the discriminating words, greet and smile at your school teachers, administrators, school mates and make them feel that you're normal like other people around you. Let them see that you exist.

I understand what you mean. I was bullied in 7th grade. The only way I got over it was to honestlg stop caring what people thought of me. I had to learn to build my confidence and trust me, it was not an easy task. I had alot of days when I just cried and cried, but as you get older you grow. The sad truth is that people can be really mean, rude, anc hateful. I only three ways you can deal with it is to ignore it (which does not make it go away), fight back (not an good idea unless they touch yo first), or confront, accept and move on (best way to go with because in the end, it has the best outcome). You will make it just hold your head high and do not listen to there negative bs. I am sure your a great person and its too bad that they will never get to know you. Their loss :)
