bullied for at least the past 3 months. I've tried telling staff at my school
but there had been little to no action, so earlier this week I took the
initiative and emailed my principal the entire list of events, bringing into
perspective the magnitude of the bullying. However, yesterday, my bully and a couple of her friends did something that should have never happened.
My principal, as well as the high school assistant principal know; but I'm not
sure they realized that the girl that was bullying me is the one that did
it. </span></p>

happens to many people from all different walks of life, and can also take many
different forms. Bullying can be very painful. Just because you are being
bullied, know that it doesn’t mean you are less of a person. Generally the bully suffers from low-self-esteem or other issues,
and bullying makes them feel better or
and bullying makes them feel better provides some sort of control. However, this does not make it an appropriate way to act towards others.</span><br></p>

though you feel the school has not done much to help at this point, you made a
great decision to speak to the principal about what is going on. They may not have done much that you can see, but it does not mean they aren’t
monitoring the situation. If you believe the principal is not aware that the
girl that is bullying you is a part of the incident that took place the other
day, it could be a great idea to make sure they know and continue to
report incidents. </span></p>

treat you. You can control how you act and that is the most important part.
Reaching out to adults that can assist and support you is a great way to react.
Reacting in anger usually encourages the bully to continue because it shows it
has affected you, which is what they ideally want. It’s just as easy to say
“ok” and walk away as any other reaction you could may have. In the end a calm
reaction and walking away makes you the stronger person. </span><br></p>
