"Okay- um. So last year there was this guy who was in both my art and chemistry class. He pretty much bullied me every day, until one day toward the end of the school year when I was pulled out of class because I was literally in tears. The school made it to where he wasn't allowed to be near me. However, this year he's in my art class again (probably because this is a new school), and every so often, I'll catch him looking at me with this weird expression on his face."

The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

just avoid this person as much as possible. if they start causing you trouble at all tell a teacher or your parents

This is bad luck. I´m sorry for you. However you have two possibilities. Either you change school one more time, or you stay there. Ignore him, search for friends because he probably won´t be brave enough to bully you when you belong to a group. If you can not make friends so fast, tell your teacher what´s up. Maybe he can arrange that the bullier has to keep distance like in your old school. All in all you shouldn´t concentrate on him anymore. Try to ignore him and have fun with other persons. Everything will be alright then. All the best for the future!

Well, my first suggestion, which has already been said, is to go to the art teacher and explain the prior situation, I agree with this 100 percent! My 2nd suggestion is to move on with life, forget this bullies exsistence and enjoy life! Remember one thing, this is very important: As long as you acknowledge a "bully", they will continue to be a "bully", when you no longer fall into their "trap" (by giving them the attention they are seeking), they've failed at being a bully! When a bully sees they are bothering someone, &/or make them cry, it adds fuel to their fire, makes them feel more powerful. By not giving them a second of your time, this means no tears, no looks no words toward them at all...you've now begun to deflate their power! I HOPE I'm making sense to you. I've been in your shoes, it is SO hard, but I toughed it out...as far as going in the restroom AFTER an occurance with "my-bully"...and THEN cried, lol...but never let that bully see ME cry anymore ;) THATS when

I learned what I'm telling you now! All a bully wants is to find someone smaller, younger or, what he feels, weaker than him/her! So that they can "control" them and show power over that person, to then get "respect" (or fear), from their friends! We need to put our foot down with these people and not allow them & show them....WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT UP WITH THEIR CRAP ANYMORE!
So....tell on them, cause a scene, call their bluff....or whatever you have to do, but it's time to put a stop to them.
whew! I went off there a bit, so sorry....but I hope I've helped in some way. Good luck to you & take care....and please....report back and let us know how things are going! ;)
