i used to BE a bully never been bullied but the advice that i can offer is not to fear this person but to forgive and try to understand this person because they may just want someone that is not a dick to be there friend don't let your self be taken advantage of though there is a fine line between being a friend and being stepped on and if he keeps bugging you then fight him win or lose hell have more respect for you i would and if you fight and lose and he keeps doing it fight Again usually telling a Superior about it makes things worse i am guessing you already know about this though hope my insight helps

Yes i have been bullied, it sucks. I will tell you my story! Right now im a freshman in High School. After my parents divorce, we moved forcing me to go to a new school. At the time i was excited! Didnt seem to upset me that much since i wasnt that far from my old school. I took it as a new way to become popular. I was made fun of at my old school, called me KFC, fat thies, freckle face, anything they could call me. I wasnt even fat, just didnt have that stick figure they thought everyone had to have. And it hurts to be made fun of like a knife stabbing you, degrading you down to where you feel as though your nothing and dont even deserve to be here on earth. At my new school, that im curently attending, i wanted people to see me different, i wanted to be popular. Wanted the boys to see me as pretty, even though i had so many insecurities i pushed them to the side. I was to distracted for wanting to be popular. There was a group of popular, pretty, skinny girls that i noticed were the top dogs of the school the very first day i attended. They were suprisingly nice to me to begin with. Except one girl, she would say i caused drama, tell everyone how ugly i was, calling me names, sending me threat texts. During all this i was still best friends with the other 3 popular girls. Until one day she told one of the others that i was trying to break up her and her boyfriend. that she used Facebook to harass me. I only had one true friend, her name was Kayla. She was there for me through all of this. She posted something similar to this' Elizabeth needs to go back to her old school, where she belongs, where she was taught to start rumors and be a *****. She is trying to break us up with our boyfriends, she is a horrible friend and is nothink more then an ugly girl trying to get attention'. (my names Elizabeth). She would tell people that she was gonna beat me up, i explained to me friend i was never trying to do any of this and she couldnt believe that this girl had tried to tell her all of these lies. This isnt even the end of it, if i was to tell you the rest of this it would be a novel. I have was brought down to the point to wear i didnt think i was good enough to be around. I would lay around crying, reading what she had sent me or what she posted about me, or what she had told others about me. I got out of this that being popular didnt mean you were popular for the right reasons, nor you were the right deffinition of a lady. The effinition of being popular that seesm to be kept a secrat is the fact they are selfish, easy, unfriendly, only think anout thereself, and more. My friend Kayla was there for me through all of this and was the only person my age who was there for me other than God and not only my best friend but my mother. I only ask is that you dont let this get to you and stay strong! Being bullied is a constant problem we have that is not getting better, only worse. The key to staying strong during all this bullying is having someone to help you through it, standing up for yourself, telling adults, not listening to a WORD they tell you. And last but not at all least PRAYING. If you dont stop this now it is only going to get worse, having a disability only means you were made more special then the rest of us. And your stronger then anyone for getting through this. Good luck ! I hope this helped. God Bless.
