Bullied by a kid younger than me...

[Lennonism]

I don't think this is the right forum for this sort of thing. Just move it if it isn't.

Now, I was homeschooled for many years of my life. Recently, about a few months ago, I decided I wanted to go to public school. I'm not sure if it was a mistake or not. I made a few friends, but the majority of the school thought I was either gay or weird. Even my first fucking GF broke up with me because she thought I was gay. Most of the memories I have of my short time in the 8th grade are painful, and the good ones are ruined because the people I shared them with went on to stab me in the back.

I was the only kid at my school who listened to the Beatles. Everyone else listened to emo stuff and country, so I was made fun of a lot, and people went around saying I jacked off to their music. Just thinking about it makes me want to punch a hole in my wall. What the hell do they know?

Well, I'll be going into high school, and I'm really scared. Mostly because of having to rid the bus. I have a lot of bad memories on there. Since I was the new kid, everyone on the bus pushed me around. People would get mad at me for sitting in their seat, and I'd get embarrassed. I tried to kiss my GF on there and she rejected it. That's pretty much the last place on earth I'd want to be in. But the worst part about it is this little kid.

I'm not sure what grade he is in. He's pretty young, maybe sixth grade or so, but for some reason, I just can't stand up to him. He gets mad at me for sitting down in a seat. I think he just doesn't want me anywhere near him, because one time I sat down in a seat in front of him and he kept pestering me by saying "It's someone else's seat! Move!" until I just decided to leave. Plus, he humiliated me in front of my ex. His seat was next to hers, and I wanted to sit down in it so I could be near her, but he said no. I feel pathetic for not being able to take care of a kid who is younger than me, but something just doesn't click when things like that happen. When I'm at home, I'll think "If anyone ever tries to push me around, I'm going to say no" but when it actually happens, it's like someone else just takes over. I just do what they say automatically. Besides, everyone at school is stronger than me. I'm not fat, but I have no muscle.

Long story short, I don't want to go to high school. The few friends I've made won't even be there. They're all one or two grades below me. Most of all, I'm afraid high school just won't work out. I'm afraid I won't find anyone with the same interests as me. I like video games and the Beatles, and that's about it, but most people I've met only play games I don't like and have never heard of the Beatles. I'm just afraid. I'd rather be homeschooled than this.

So can somebody give me some advice?

I'd be happy to try to help here. As an FYI, I love the Beatles, too. Talk about real talent (Favorite song: "I will") You have good taste in music (and perhaps, the meaning behind their music, too). Too bad your peers cannot recognize what a gift that is. Hang in there, adolescence isn't forever, what you have will eventually be appreciated. We just have to get you there.

OK, I think your holding your fire against a little kid on a bus shows maturity and good judgement, not cowardice, even if it doesn't feel that way. I think you should just do what you need to in order to avoid him. Real strength is the wisdom to know what the right thing to do is, even if it means tolerating junk from a young 'un, when you can easily cream him. Remember what John (Lennon) said.

If you're terribly afraid of HS, then you might consider not going next year, maybe homeschooling isn't such a bad idea, esp. since you've done this before and it's been OK.

However, you might want to consider at least trying HS. Maybe you're overanxious about what *might* happen, thinking the worst. Maybe your sensitivity is interferring with your ability not so much to assess the risks (which are real, since you've been in such a different academic environment), but rather, you're not taking into consideration your obvious strengths and abilities, which extend far beyond your appreciation of the "Masters' (Beatles).

Maybe you can spend some time this summer being in situations with the people you'll encounter next year. Can you do that? Are there any teen centers or places that HS students typically hang out? Can you get involved in some activities that they typically do, to get yourself involved with them? What you need is some 'hands on' erxperience with them, ASAP, to determine if HS is an OK idea for you, or if it will be a dreadful experience.

you cant take crap like that, screw emo music, the Beatles are a classic, but and that kid should just shut his mouth, who is he to tell you where you can and cant sit? when he pulls that crap in high school, I can guarantee you he,ll get beat up.

I can assure you that you'll be fine. You can only make friends at High School, if you behave right anyway. Keep your head down, don't give anyone else bother and you can only make friends. Your High School will be bigger so there is more chnace of meeting someone that has the same taste as you. I learnt pretty quickly going into high school that the kind of guy that you're talking about "the younger guy" gets the crap beaten out of him. When you get cheeky with someone older than you in high school, you go down pretty quick. I've witnessed it in my high school which is a pretty well-mannered, good school.

Hi mate. I live in Scotland and some of the places about me, although around 15/20 miles away are rough. And I mean rough. People carry knifes, attack people for no reason etc.

Anyway. I listen to REO Speedwagon. Some people may have heard of them. Everyone in my school rips the sheer pish out of me, and I'm going into my last year at HS now, aged 16. I play the piano and listen to music played from a piano, although it's not classical stuff like Mozart, it's amazing music by Jon Schmidt. That doesn't matter though. Everyone around me is listening to 50 Cent, Eminem, G-Unit. I am the only one in the school that detests them. Their songs have no meaning and no melody. They're usless. Just take it with a pinch of salt pal, it's all just banter.

The best thing you can do mate is be really good at Sports. I have played Golf for Scotland at International level and I'm currently the Rangers U-19's Right-Back. I managed to get the hottest girl in the school because I've got potential to be a good footballer.

Hope I helped mate.

you should ask your mother to have you homeschooled or if you dont want that either bulk up(exersize no roids!) and learn to defend or stand up fr yourself. or just ask to be moved to a dofferent school it should help alot and it all else fails... just go back to homeschool

[Mr. Smithers]

Well first off, self defense isn't really the answer in this case.

To me self defense is protecting yourself while on the street. This is happening at school. He could contact the school counselors and what not and work something out.

Or you can continue homeschooling. Its probably mainly your choice. I know exactly how you feel as I have had a similar incident like that.
