Hi there
Verbal bullying can be every bit as damaging and destructive as physical bullying, if not more so. It isolates you, singles you out, chips away at your self-esteem until there's barely anything left, and yet it can all be done so subtly that only you can really see what's happening. I think you do need to talk to a guidance tutor or trusted teacher. Explain just as you have to me what is going on, and more importantly, how it is making you feel. Let your family know that you're struggling too, so they can offer support and make sure your words are taken seriously.
Believe it or not, there will be others in your school who feel the same, who might even want to be friends but are afraid to reach out to you in case they attract the bullies too... but you are not alone. Work on building up your confidence. My book, 'Letters To Cathy' (Cathy Cassidy), has several chapters on building self-esteem, making friendships and handling bullies, and could help to get you started. Can you find friends outside of school, at a youth group, a voluntary group or a special interest class? Anything that boosts morale and helps you to connect with others is worth a try. I think you're feeling strong enough to change things, to speak out and ask for help. Stay strong - and good luck.
Take care,
Cathy Cassidy
