My bullying throughout the last couple years of my life has been nothing more than being called rude names or being pushed down, pushed into lockers, nerded, taking my stuff, etc. While all this stuff is hurtful, it's never really really harmed me physically. This weekend, however, I was walking around the base and a few people ((I won't name them)) cornered me. I got BEAT. Nothing is on my face, thank god. I don't want to tell my parents. They already know I cut, and I told them I stopped when the bullying stopped ((It didn't, I just said it did)) because therapy kills me a little bit inside with each session. Alright, so after I got hit up enough, I just went home. I pretended everything was all okay. I'm sore, but that's all...... I'm scared.
Should I tell anybody about this?
Should I just wait until it stops?
Who should I tell?
What can I do?
Please help ASAP.

Please do tell someone. you know what will be eating you up inside? Keeping it a secret. This definitly isn't right and you shouldn't have to pretend things are okay when you're hurting, especially if it's physically. Waiting until it stops is the worst thing you can do, you can try and make yourself believe that if you ignore it then it will go away but this has gone far enough and you should really address the situation.
Do you have anyone you trust? Even your parents, are you close to them because they want to look out for you and make sure you're okay. Please don't lie to them about the bullying because it honestly wont do any good. I remember for ages I didn't tell anyone, I was always upset and I would cry when I got home. I was only 7 so there's a big difference but the same outcome can happen. Tell your parents and hopefully they can do somthing about it even if that's just listening to you. Also is there a school guidence councelor that you could tell, you don't have to name names, just tell her/him what's happening and get their opinion on it?

As MyOblivion has said you should go tell someone. It's important that you let someone know that this is going on as it is a serious problem. Doing physical harm to someone is not an OK act in any shape or form.
Trust in your parents as what you might not believe they do care as they seemed to have cared about you cutting. It's not the easiest thing to do but it's important you let them into your life and help you out. Keeping it a secret doesn't do anyone any good especially you.
If for some reason you cannot talk to a parent no matter what therapy while it might suck as much as it does help. I have gone several times for various reasons and in the end it helped me out and worked out for the better.
