Help! Hes telling everyone!

[turtlescantwrite]

I am in a class called adaptive PE in my school. Its where I work with handicapped children. The boy I work with most of the time loves touching, and I tolerate it. One day last week he lifted up my shirt sleeve and a ninth grade boy saw my arm before i could put the sleeve back down. The ninth grade boy became excessively touchy and tried to lift up my sleeves, and called me emo when i refused to let him see my scars and cuts. Well, I ignored it when he wouldnt stop, until he tried getting too close to me, and I elbowed him in the gut. Well, he left me alone and we didnt talk, until he started making fun of my handicapped partner. I yelled at him for ten minutes, telling him to leave my partner alone and he was rude. Now I guess to get back, hes telling everyone in our school that im crazy, emo and cut myself. Its my biggest trigger, and he even told some of my friends. Im scared and dont know what to do, and suggestions?

That is scary.
Maybe try to act like you do not take it seriously
and say that he is just trying to get back at you
because you had to yell at him for making
fun of your partner etc. He is the bad guy in this
and hopefully people will pick up on that.

PS, kudos to you for working with special needs
kids. I am one and you guys are great.

Thanks much! I ignored him today, and he stopped talking to everyone about me.
Again, I appreciated the advice.

Its not fair for him to do that and u have a right for people not to know therefore u can get him in a lot of trouble but only as much as u feel he deserves. Use that face wisely

Wow, that's just wrong!

Well this happens to all of us cutter at some point one way or another. It helps if you can keep a level head and be cool about it. Like "yah, so I cut my self. What's the big deal? I don't care, I'm not the one who told everyone dumb ass"
That worked for me, people would lose interest once they realized I didn't care. Because I just didn't, after a while I was just like, oh well what ever. It worked when they called me attention seeker, I'd ask them "OK then why are YOU the one bringing this up in the conversation?"
Point out the logical explanations, its impossible to defeat logic, and remember denial is always a fools last option! ;) That last bit gets em when the first stuff doesn't. Even if they ddon't react, it makes them think about it later.

Excellent!

people like him feed on attention and reaction from things is you leave him alone and ignore him as much as you can then he will realise he isn't gonna get anything from ya...react as little as you can i know it could be difficult with what I've heard but at least try...and for the things he's saying do what Katiya suggested, good luck :)
