Answer 2

I hated middle school. It was my most painful part of school. I was called names and yes words can hurt like hell. I was also beaten up. I couldn't wait for high school, high school was a cake walk compared to middle school. Anyway back to you.

Are you being beaten up, or verbally attacked. This happens all to often to those who are "different". People will always find something about you to pick on. You need to tell as many people as possible if you are being victimized. Don't be afraid to tell.

I am gay. The name calling got so bad one time I had to leave the classroom because I was crying because at that day and time it was just to much for me. You don't have to go through this. There are people out there who can help you including your parents. Try the high school nurse. Google bullying in schools and lots of helpful information comes up.

You don't have to accept any of it. You have the right to be treated fairly and with dignity. Just remember a few things: You are better than them always. No matter how bad the pain gets never kill your self over this. There are way to many of these types of suicides already. You can make it.

From one Survivor to another, hang in there. Be your self and be free. :)

Answer 3

First, I'd say learn how to change that word - instead of "surviving" try "living!" School can be enjoyable - check out some of the other Learning Tips questions for good ideas on how to turn learning from a chore into a fun activity!

Here are some specific things you can do:

• Make an assignment notebook right away - keep a special book where you write down every single assignment. This way you never lose your homework assignments!
• Learn some memory techniques - you can find lots of different ones here in Learning Tips. If you know how to memorize something, learning's easier.
• Learn how to take good notes in class - your notes can be the best way to study for your test, so you ought to be able to take really good ones.
• Make some friends. Most people have one or two good friends - don't try to be the most popular kid in the school, because that's not important - just have a couple of people who like the same things you do, and who you can talk over your troubles with!
• Learn how to get along - school is not just for learning facts. It's also for learning how to get along with other people without getting into fights. Learn how to talk about things and negotiate instead of fighting. Learn how to tell if something you did hurt someone, and learn how to apologize. Learn how to control your emotions and not fly off the handle at things.
• Learn how to motivate yourself. Grades are a good motivation, but not everyone wants a good grade badly enough to want to work for one! Figure out a way to get yourself to "knuckle down" and get your work done before you knock off and play!
• Remember that if you do your best, whatever happens is OK - you may not make all A's, you may not be super-popular, you may not be good at sports - but you're OK if you gave it your best!
