Let's Help PretzelPoo! by Bully Free Zone

"I can't believe I'm saying this on here... So, I have knee pains, stomache pains, and tooth pain almost all the time. For a while, I've been being made fun of for it by someone I can't say. Everytime I say I'm hurting, or I'm walking funny, or holding my mouth, this person says things like, "it's not that bad," or "brush better," or "eat better," or "run more". I try to tell them that I can't help it..." (continued in comments)

(continued from description) "...and when I tell them that standing up hurts my knees, or brushing really hard and flossing hurts my teeth, they either laugh at me or argue with me. When I try to stand up to them and tell them they're being a bully and hurting my feelings, they bully me harder for it... Even when I cry they don't care... And I do cry every day, but they won't stop... Please, if you can, please help... Medical issues aren't to be made fun of..."

There are several reasons why your body may be hurting, from bone conditions to inflamation to an acid-alkaline imbalance, and that's just minor possibilities, but everything it could be is medical and you need to seek help from a doctor. Since you didn't mention the doctor, name a medical condition, and since you said this person bullys you every day and the way you describe your interactions, I think it's possible that this person you're not mentioning is a family member. Maybe they don't take it seriously, which of course is a big problem, especially if they are your parents. If I'm wrong, of course talk to your parents and seek medical help, unless you have already. If it is your family, go to your school nurse with your symptoms and explain how long they've been going on and that you haven't been allowed to seek medical help (if that's true in your case). The nurse may be able to refer you to a doctor as well as contact child services to force your family to help.

It could result in more arguments, but your health and wellbeing is more important. As for dealing with the bullying, whatever the source, try to remember that their opinions have no affect on you anymore than me saying you have blue hair changes your hair color. You know the truth. I know you care what they think and that's fine, but they have some maturing to do as humans and you can only do so much. It's up to them to learn empathy. You're giving them the opportunity to either care or not and it tells more about them than it ever can about you. Be patient and strong and they may come around, but bottom line: If you haven't already, get medical help.

Thanks, guys. I'll try the things you said. And, I didn't say it because the person would ask, but this person is a sibling of mine... But I will talk to my parents more and try to find more medical information. Thanks for your advice. It makes me so happy to know strangers care about me so much. c':

firstly, i agree with what @rouge ranger said, but i have something to add. i know this sounds mean, but please don't take it that way, even though it may be hard, do NOT cry infront of a bully. wether it's a sibling, or someone at school, they bully you for a reaction. they want you to cry. the best thing to do is to ignore the bully. btw, i know from personal experiance that bullies only pick on people to make them feel better, the bully (or sibling) may be going through a tough time and relieve stress my making you cry or get mad. as for the pain, like any medical condition, you should talk to a doctor and your parents if possible. sorry if i came off as rude about the bully thing, it's ok to cry, just don't do it in front of the bully if you can because thats what they want.
