Hi there,
I am really glad that you were able to share what's going on for you. It was brave of you to tell your friends about being trapped in a girls body. I am glad to hear that this hasn't affected your friendship with most of them. Friends should like you for the person you are and your gender shouldn't change this.
Yes, what is happening to you is transphobic bullying and it sounds like you know that talking to your teacher about this could help. You can get more advice about asking an adult for help.
What this person is doing to you by physically and emotionally hurting you is wrong and no one ever has the right to treat you this way.
You might find it useful to read our page about transgender identity.
If you wanted to talk more about what is going on for you then you can always speak to one of our counsellors either on a 1-2-1 chat, by calling for free on 0800 1111 or sending an email. Theres always someone there for you and we would like to support you.
Take care,
Sam

You can ask me about anything you want, there's nothing too big or small. I read every single letter but I can only answer a few each week. My replies are published here on my page.
