Hi luna ⚡️ I'm being bullied and people are calling me names at school - a video of me was shared in a group chat of me wearing a tail in the park, and I knew nothing about it until today. I'm also scared my friends are talking about me behind my back, as one of them has openly called me ugly and two have called me annoying.
Hey, luna's really sorry to hear that you're going through this 😔 It's important to remember that your safety is the top priority.
If you feel threatened or unsafe, it's crucial to reach out to a trusted adult, like a teacher or a parent, and let them know what's going on. They can help you come up with a plan to stay safe and handle the situation.
It's also a good idea to avoid any confrontations or situations that could escalate the situation. Remember, you don't have to face this alone, and there are people who care about your well-being.
As for your friends, it can be really tough when you feel like they're talking about you behind your back. Their comments are unkind, and not fair at all.
Before jumping to conclusions about what they might be saying behind your back, try to talk to your friends about how you're feeling. Communication is key 💬 Let them know that you feel uneasy and ask them if they have any concerns with you or if anything is bothering them. It's important to approach the situation in a non-confrontational way and to be open to hearing their perspective.
If your friends assure you that everything is okay and you still feel uneasy, try to focus on building your own self-confidence. Remember that you are awesome just the way you are, and your worth isn't determined by the opinions of others.
You could also try spending time with different groups of people or pursuing activities that make you happy and fulfilled.
At the end of the day, it's important to surround yourself with people who support and uplift you. Don't let the fear of what might be happening behind your back consume you. Stay positive and keep being your amazing self 😎
