My Bully

[Jay_Swagg_LOL]

I'm not getting bullied as of now while i'm in 8th grade, but next year I want to go to the same High School as my friends. There's just one prblem, Kryshun, aka the only other person who knows that i'm gay. He basically bullied me into telling him and he goes to the High School I wish to go to. He could not only bully me byt he could also tell more people. He's already tried to convince my sister, but I lied and said he had been trying to bully me. What should I do, he's in the 11th grqade and I'll be 9th, 2 years stuck with him if I go...

You'd think with the time passed and the age difference
he would not pay any attention to you by then.

Don't you think that he will have better things to care than your sexuality.
Maybe, if you go there, avoid being within his line of sight for a good while.
If you want to go to that high school and believes it will be great for your career, you should make it!
Be strong! Come on!

You'll be in a bigger school with a lot more people, it's likely that he'll have forgotten all about it and if not it'll be easier for you to keep out of his way. Don't assume that you're going to get bullied though, high school isn't even starting for more than half a year so there's no point in getting stressed about it. I moved into a secondary school with all my bullies when I was 11 and previously I'd had to move schools because it had gotten so bad at the age of 7. Nothing really happened with those same people. People grow up, forget and move on. I think you're just stressing yourself out for no reason. Enjoy the school you're at while you're still there and then keep an open mind when you move into your new high school and stick with friends that care about you.

As many have said, don't worry about it. Kryshun's just one of many fish in the sea which makes him more insignificant than you think. Don't consider avoiding things or people that trouble you, the best but sadly temporarily most uncomfortable way is to face it/him head-on. That starts with being honest with yourself, loving yourself as-is by realizing how awesome you are, and knowing that that has nothing to do with what others think.

If you really want to defang the snake, confidently come out as gay, stand your ground by remembering how awesome you are regardless, and watch as Kryshun has nothing else to say.

(Don't over look the possibility that he may be crying out for help because he too is gay but is worried in the same way as you but doesn't know how to express it properly. Compassion and understanding can touch even the meanest of people.)

In 8th grade I had a bully threatening physical harm and had the same concern going into HS. I got there and he wasn't even there, my fear was for nothing. I also told myself I wouldn't be a pushover to him anymore. Today, I can proudly say if he were threaten me like before...I'd calmly do what I probably should have done in 8th grade and kick his butt! Haha JK ....slightly :D
