If you feel you have been bullied, report it. I don't know what happened in class, but sometimes wearing a thicker skin and remembering "words will never hurt me" is better in the long run than taking things personally.

And I'm wondering if your attitude that you are "more talented and more brave" comes across to your peers. Perhaps you come across as condescending and a bit of a conceit. Something to think about.

Human nature is to have a bit of self pride every once in awhile however I can see your view. And the teacher was in on the bullying. Also I'm just "to nice" to actually put someone down.

Skii, my name is Ramón. I came across your post and I wanted to give a bit of a suggestion. As long as you know your worth there will be no one that will ever embarrass you or harass you. Knowing your worth sounds very vague, but look into yourself. Sit down and write down the things you love about yourself (not what you think other love about you, but what you actually love about yourself) then write down achievements or accomplishments you have experienced. Write down your history, what you know about your ancestors whether it be your grand parents or great grand parents. I say ancestors because every decision they made, every struggle and obstacle they overcame has lead to you. You are the fruit of their life and their love and their pains. When you see all this and put your real self into perspective you will know that your worth is much more than a few words. You will have a foundation and know the real you, and no one will take that from you. Stay strong.

Are you in college? Can you take a different class with a different teeacher? I am shocked that your teacher was in on the bullying. Just don't qite school altogether. A few idiots aren't worth throwing away your education and your future,

And congratulations on finishing your school work and aceing your two tests! Hold on to that when you feel down. Remind yourself that you can do this! :)

Not in college but high school. And thanks I try to ace tests to have a good future with my dream job in the medical field.

Keep focusing on this dream job of yours and let it carry you through the difficult times.

I am sorry to hear that you have been a victim of bullying. Is is particularly unacceptable for a teacher to be the one who is doing the bullying. No one deserves this type of treatment whether bullying by another student or teacher. If it continues, try to get transfer to another class. There is no need to subject yourself to this sort of treatment. Congratulations on your other classes that you are doing so well in. Continue to reach for your goals and you will succeed.

Firstly Skii - you haven't told anyone what happened. You have only told your interpretation of what happened, which, from your point of view as a superior and harder working person than any of them, is that you have been 'mocked and embarrassed' by them, including the teacher. We have no ability to decide whether you've been mocked, or not. Only that you feel mocked. And that can mean more than one thing.

In new zealand we mock you if we liked you as much as if we don't. We're either mocking because we think you have courage, and can handle it; or we mock you because we think you're a sniveller, or smug, or up yourself, in which case we're trying to break you out of that and teach you to laugh at yourself

If your teacher is in on it, there are 2 possible reasons this is happening:

1. they like you and they're giving you a bit of attention by joking at you.
2. you're a jerk and they're sick of you.

How to handle them?

1. laugh and joke and tease back, or else find a funny way to put yourself down.
2. laugh and joke and tease back, or else find a funny way to put yourself down.

If you want any respect in that class you're going to have to earn it by not taking yourself seriously, by taking a joke against yourself, by leaving your ego at the door and by letting someone in that class be better than you.

You have to let people be better than you, and you have to let them be right even when you know they're wrong. It'll be the making of you. Now get back in there, and show them you can take a joke.

I get what your saying: there's nothing to be done either way.
And I made it sound like I'm a superior to them, I'm not but after feeling like a failure your self-esteem drops pretty low and you start to look for compliments and not criticism.

Saying to take a blow to my self-esteem?
That's just going to hurt more in a significant amount of ways.

Also your idea of a joke is extremely terrifying if your implying a harassment and a joke are the same thing.

And FYI I don't have to say what happened because it's irrelevant to what info is needed.

Thanks for your advice :)

If you add things into your comments I can add them into mine.

You have to work out if you want friends or not.

If you want friends, you are going to have to drop your ego and leave it at home.
If you don't want friends, carry on doing what you're doing.

They're going to ignore you next. You won't be harrassed. You'll be walked around. You'll disappear.

As to the 'i have low self esteem' - there's what you say, and then there's what you do. You can tell me all day you have low self esteem and indeed I think the world is filled with smug superior people who just 'can't understand' why nobody likes them who develop a dichotomous break in their self esteem being both way over the top, and way under the bottom. I have one I have to work with. My mother is one. She swings from pompous ass to subservient doormat.

Your ego is bound up in your academic abilities. But academic abilities are worth approximately squat. They won't get you anywhere. The world is filled with highly educated wage slaves. Look at Donald Trump. Do you think that man can even read?

There's far more to intelligence and education than getting high marks on tests. And there's far more to success than intelligence. You're no better than anybody no matter what marks you get. You may as well think you're better than the rest due to your looks, or the car your daddy drives.

Get rid of your ego. Just go on courage. Get real, and become one of the team.

Friends isn't the problem, harassment is and sir or madam you've proven to be no better than the offenders at the school. Your not helping by saying I've got a terrible ego and that I'm not going to have friends so "get real".

If your teacher was in on the Joke/Harassment, I'd definitely report her to the Principal as she should be the neutral zone in the class and should be stopping harassment from happening.

1st- gotta keep it positive somehow :)

2nd- good idea both of you

3rd- thanks!
