So this kid that's friends with my friend is getting bullied by another jerk who has also bullied me in the past (I beat him up though, so he stopped and that's another story). I'll call the victim Kid A because I don't want to use his name. He sits across from me at lunch, and he's about half my size and has a high voice, and he's about as physically and mentally mature as a 5th grade kid. He just looks really easy to pick on. Usually he's annoying and like to get in to arguments about something scientific with me, and he's always wrong, but he thinks he's obviously right. But then Kid B (the bully) is also friends with Kid C, my friend whos friends with A. B started to tease A by repeating what A says in a high, nasal voice, and putting pieces of food in his hair and stuff. Then he started to call him stuff (Can't repeat it here, it's really not PG13.) Now at my school that kind of stuff is normal in a joke format, but he says it in a mean way. Next week our school has a thing called "Time Out Day" where everyone signs up for a field trip type thing (skiing, bowling, movies...) and B and C are both going skiing, I'm staying home. A wanted to go with C, so he signed up for skiing. But A hasn't skied before, but B and C are really good and go down black diamonds. B told him that he was going to go on all black diamonds and leave A at the top of the hill, forcing him to go down and fall a bunch. He also said he was going to try and cut him off and get A to fall down/mess up, and video record it on his phone. That's when I got kind of mad. Then he said he was going to post it on Youtube as "[censored] Skier" or something like that. Now, I'd been bullied alot from 3rd grade until 7th, but I'm a whole foot taller than most kids so they don't like to mess with me anymore. A is small and, honestly, kind of wimpy looking. When B bullied me somehow the counselors got involved and B got punished, and I don't want to tell on him again because that'll just make me look like I have something against B (which I do, I hate that kid) and that it's none of my business. I asked my mom about what to do, she said there's nothing I can do. I said maybe I could sign up for skiing to back up Kid A, but it's too late to sign up now. I thought about hacking B's Youtube and getting it banned (he deserves it anyway) but I don't want to get in trouble with that. I'm really stuck, I hate bullies, and I don't want A to be picked on like that. Any advice?

Kid B sounds like an [censored]

He really, really is. And everyone loves him. It's stupid.

Point 1:
There is your solution, tell the counselors about it.

Point 2:
If you consider 'A' a friend, it is absolutely your business.

I think I need a diagram...

Just tell [censored] Kid B "Hey, enough is enough. Lay off will you."

That usually works.. of course, this git sounds very dense.

Listen to Ratwar. The counselors are there to put a stop to this kind of thing, but they can't help if they don't know.

edit:Damn I'm old. There was a time not too long ago where my natural response would be to threaten/beat the bully. Now I'm all old and fatherly and telling you to speak to the proper authorities. :sadvaultboy:

Stand up for him.

I hate bullies as well, but they serve a purpose just as any other life form (roaches, flies, Lady Gaga). If you don't want kid B picking on kid A, then do something about it. But since you really don't like kid A and B I can see where you would lack the proper incentive. It seems Kid C is the one that really needs to get involved.

Damn. Someone needs to make a logic proof of this. Any takers?




BTW, why even mention hacking someones Youtube channel?

Councilors is an option. Talking directly to B, and maybe C is an option. But if you take the second you are probably going to take a lot to heat for being "soft"...whatever that means.
[] got my ABC's mixed up.

:tongue:

Kick his ass. You have a moral obligation as a decent human being to stop this [censored] before it gets serious and someone gets hurt or retaliates.

@fatman45:
How old are you?

This or just threaten the guy.

13. Wow, I wish my typing was that good when I was 13.

you could just be an [censored] towards kid B. Or like Miles said, tell kid C to stop eating [censored] and do something.

Sadly, telling someone in your school's administration is your best option. High school was only 2 years ago for me, so I remember perfectly well how ridiculously ineffectual school officials are at handling problems. But, you also don't want something happening to Kid A, whether that be being messing up on the slope or actually getting physically hurt, and having to live with the fact that you knew about it beforehand. If you tell the school, not only will you know you've done everything you can, but maybe they'll actually doing something about it, as impossible as that is to believe (yes I'm very bitter at grade school officials if you couldn't tell). Maybe you can suggest to them that they confiscate his phone and all other video recording equipment during the trip, because of what he said he'd do. They'll probably be more concerned with the bully not having anything to communicate with if he gets lost, but you never know.

So, yeah, just tell your school and hope for the best.



Same here. Back when I was that young my typing was absolutely awful.

Nothing serious at all then just kids being kids.

Kid being picked on has to stand up for himself.

I think a kid skiing down a slope then getting tripped by a bully then humiliated on the internet is a serious issue no matter what age he is.

I hate bullies, and they are all actually cowards, that's why they pick on people smaller or weaker than themselves. Pick a few friends, and surround him and intimidate him. Tell him if he doesn't lay off, you'll all do to him whatever he does to the little guy. :shrug:

Next time he acts like a dike, tell him to lay off. If he doesn't stop, de-pants him in the hall. And tell A to check his facts and stop acting like a know-it-all when he's wrong.

Also, he may have the maturity of a 5th grader, but you guys are still in 7th grade. You haven't earned the right to demean 5th graders like that, yet.

I would do something, nobody deserves to be bully... You know.. Unless they deserve it.

B sounds like a winner. Help him bully A.

That's nothing just kids being kids but getting pushed down a slope or getting tripped and tumbling down a slope or worse then it is. What kid doesn't get bullied its just kids being bored. Someday you'll look back at this and laugh and laugh or even now.
