I have tried everything. I just can't seem to avoid the bullies. My parents know what's up, but they don't do anything about it. "It helps you prepare for the real world." Thanks Dad. "Be strong. I know you can handle it!" Thanks a billion Mom. Very helpful. So every day after school I hide and hope that they find someone else to pick on. Unfortunately they are very unpredictable. Sometimes it is verbal, like teasing or humiliation. Sometimes it's through the social media, and those are the good days. Sometimes it is a full on beat-up. But that's very rare. Usually they just stand behind the school and watch me walk past and silently threaten me with their eyes.
