The whole backstory is coming soon but it will take me hours to write, so I just wanted to put this out there right now. I’m 15, and have been getting harassed to my face and behind my back by the same group of boys for about a year. I’ve tried EVERY option of dealing with them in ethical ways, and nothing works. No matter how many people tell me I’m smart, or funny, or kind, I can’t believe it. I try, but I just can’t. These boys have stolen every ounce of pride and confidence I have. I get that feeling of my chest being crushed on the daily. I feel worthless and insignificant. I have given them no reason to want to hate me or make me feel like this. Even when I have brought it to adults, these boys still don’t understand or care about the damage they’re doing to me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t know if living this horrible life is worth it anymore.

Ethical ways never work.
You have to fight them back or find a way to get them to be punished hard enough to stop.
I don’t know what they are doing to you in detail, but sometimes the only reason is because they can. It makes them feel better putting others down, because they’re crappy people.
The fact they pick on you does NOT mean there is something wrong with you or that you did something bad that should give them a reason to.
They are the ones who are wrong and bad, and you have no reason to not believe/listen to when people say you’re smart and kind, because i’m sure you are.
Just ignore them. Seriously, just ignore them. By not ignoring them, you’re giving them exactly what they want.
As a guy, I’d take them all on at once (seriously), and that’d make ’em shut up, cause their mouths would be too sore to talk afterwards.
