Help !! 

I have been bullied all through my school life, but it was never as bad as this. There is a group that always bully me. They call me names, physically abuse me, etc. and I hate it! I have told many-a people, including my parents and teachers, and all they do is shout at them. I always get blamed for 'starting' a fight, even though I never do. I need advice on how to deal with this

Hi there and thanks for getting in touch with Sam.

It sounds as though life at school is really difficult for you right now. First of all you have to done the right thing to write to me.

Most importantly you have told lots of adults, but I guess because it hasn't been sorted out it is causing alot of frustration for you. It doesn't seem as though they are supporting you much either.

There is lots of good advice on the ChildLine website about bullying on the Explore section. Sometimes it’s a good idea also to post on the ChildLine message board because then other young people can give you their ideas as sometimes they’ve been in similar situations.

These web sites are also pretty good as they offer added advice and information take a look at www.bullybusters.org.uk and www.bullying.co.uk or www.cybermentors.org.uk  These can also link you into other local support services. 

You can also talk to one of our counsellors anytime they are available 24/7 on 0800 1111 or have a 1-2-1 chat on the website.

I hope this helps

Take care

Sam
