And don't bother telling me I don't know what it's like to be bullied, I was bullied a LOT in school, and sometimes even beaten up, so I know exactly what it's like. You are in the wrong to try to make it worse and I really wish you would rethink it beacuse as time goes by it will only make things worse and really could cause serious issues someday. You don't really know all that girl has gone through in her life to make her feel so crappy about herself she has to do that to others, so you would be better off feeling sorry for her that she feels so badly about herself, than to try to make it worse. Just think long and hard about what you say and do before you do it, it can have lasting consequences. You know what she's saying is stupid and not true so it shouldn't matter to you what she says. If she physically did anything then sure you could get adults involved and defend yourself, but you are better off being the bigger person than stooping to her level just to get her back. It makes YOU the better person not to do it.
I understand what you are saying, but this comes from my point of view, 'Why should you put up with it?' This girl is obviously being hurtful to others and whether or not her life is bad doesn't give her the excuse to make other people's lives miserable. If you don't deal with it then you might as well put a target on your head, as then you're identified as a weak link. Some people prefer to bring others into the matter, and yes, that would clear things up quickly. I have always been one to sort matters by myself and by my methods. I've been following this thread closely to see exactly what is happening about this. Also, if this girl is ignored, there's nothing to stop her getting worse. This hasn't happened in my school, but i've seen people who ignore their bullies have water poured over them, spat on, had their bags tipped out and strewn across land and even in dog muck, sorry to be scary but that can happen. And once you've backed yourself into a corner then it can be very difficult to come out when things have gone too far. I've found that a defensive comment here and there usually nips it in the bud, and also after that actually become on fairly good terms with these people because they realised that i wasn't a wet lemon after all. That's just what i think, and it's always worked for me.
