I noticed my food had been tampered with as a form of backlash for not having sex with him.. even in the work place i seemed to get picked on whyy.. many people say i am attracitve and a pleasant girl so why me?

  • Answer:

    Bullies prey on any weakness they can find and isolating someone is a common technique of bullying. Some guys with low self esteem can be angry about rejection and treat you bad because he's bitter you hurt his confidence. He messed with your food? that's harassment report him and stay away from him don't let him near your food. I've been bullied too don't take it so personal they don't know who you are but maybe you make it too easy for them to take advantage of you do you have low self esteem or show signs of insecurity in the way you walk,talk, or sit? Bullies pick on others they think won't retaliate you have to stand up for yourself really true bullies usually don't feel sorry for what they do to others and even might feel justified for what they've done or said so speak up and tell them you won't take the abuse anymore what could they do to you that they haven't done already? Bullies are usually persistent in their abuse so it's even more dire and important to stand up before it could get worse. Whatever they've gone through it's no excuse for treating someone innocent that way.

i was just like you. i have been bullied my whole life. and i just couldn't understand why. when i was 15 i couldn't take it any more and i got a life threatening depression. I believe that people missunderstand you. they judge you, and think your are rude or something. (not that you are), but people always come up with something wierd like that. this sound crazy perhaps, but talk to your school conselour and say you wanna speak infront of your clas. and then hold a speach about how you are being treated.

You cannot be timid, you have to stand up for what you believe in, regardless of the consequences. Some might say that I am ridiculous for saying that, but the only person that can really get you out of this is yourself. Stand up for yourself, state how you feel, and do not let anyone come on to you or treat you that way if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Your the one that has to live with this every day, so make a stand and speak your mind. Let them know you are not going to take that kind of behavior. You may be scared of what they may do, but you shouldnt be. You have to do this for yourself because if you do not fight for what YOU believe in, then your not being honest with yourself... If you do not fight for your rights, then why should someone else. You may want to have help, or someone there for support - but you have to do thison your own! Let them know, and they will not bother you again.
