    Dear Surafiel,

    I was bullied from middle of sixth grade through end of eight grade at the private school I attended since 1st grade. It is a sad thing to endure. I did not tell my parents of teachers, as it was not the way most people went back in those days. But I did pray about it often, and I did remember what Jesus said about loving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us. I prayed to have this attitude in me and to pray. Also, I prayed that God will help me forgive them even though they did not seek this from me. These things really helped me. I only had 3 friends that would have anything to do with me during this time. In 9th grade I went into the public schools and most of my classmates from this private school went on to private high school. So, God gave me an escape from this situation. I pray that God will provide this for you, too.

    As some have suggested, I agree that you should tell your parents and teachers and the principal. I suggest that you record evidence of bullying incidences. Perhaps in a journal, screenshots of mean notes or cyber communication. If they physically hurt you, take pictures of the marks and bruises. This will help the adults I mentioned take your abuse seriously.

    Keep praying and study your Bible, especially the words of Jesus in the Gospels. He is always with you and will help you. My heart goes out to you. It is so hard to rise above the mistreatment and do what is loving and right to these people while still protecting yourself. I will be praying for you.

    I was bullied in school, by some students & even teachers. I know several children bullied by teachers & others in authority. I even had teachers throw chalkboard erasers & hit me in the head, multiple times, in front of entire classes. One teacher pulled me by the hair of my head down the hall to office because I asked questioned his fairness 5th grade. 4th Grade the teacher had me miss play time several days because I white skin, & different eyes & hair. "to teach class about predjudist" it made students more isolating towards me. Many more situations, I & others have suffered.

    * To tell someone in authority that has no fear of GOD, sometimes makes the problem worse!

    1st know: Jesus knows better than anyone what it's like to be wrongfully bullied! Pray to The Father for help in Jesus Name: Matthew 6:5-34, John 14:13, Isaiah 53,

    1Peter 2:19-25,

    2nd if you have kind, gentle, loving & understanding parents you all could prayerfully consider Homeschooling.

    If you have a difficult situation at home, then pray about how to tell your Parent/Parents/Gaurdian. Even if they don't outwardly show love, they most likely care about cruel, abusive behavior towards you by others. In one case a child was moved to different school & situations were much better for that child.

    3rd, Remember this time, if you're called to endure is just a few years, sometimes much shorter when you pray. GOD does amazing things, through our prayers. Luke 17:6, Matthew 17:20, James 5:17,

    4th, through hardship we learn compassion, to help others who go through what we have gone through, & going through. 2Corinthians 1:3-4,

    5th, I will pray for you.

    6th be encouraged as I have become unafraid of people & bolder for Christ, wiser especially for things today, you too should be strengthened & be wiser throughout these things. 2Timothy 2:3, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13,

    Hopefully these are helpful & encouraging

    Tell an adult what is going on. Tell your parents, a teacher, the principle. If you go to church you can confide in a Pastor for spiritual guidance, but most importantly give it over to Jesus Christ, He loves you very much and keep reminding yourself of His promises He has in store for you. Jeremiah 29:11. Also pray for your enemies and do good to those who hate you, but use wisdom when dealing with those who bully you.

    Hi Surafiel.

    Don't react to them, Not even in words.

    Tell the your Parents and the School counselor and principal.

    You've done the right thing by asking. And it would be the right thing to do by telling.

    Check back in with us and let us know how it goes.

    I hope this helps.

    God bless.

    Walk in peace with God, and do not engage the temptation. Say a quiet, Jesus protect me.

    You're not too young to learn what Ephesians 6 means. Our "enemies are invisible".

    A very quiet prayer under your breath, say this: I rebuke you evil spirits in the name of Jesus. I bind your works in Jesus Name. Amen.

    Your prayer has as much power with God, as mine do.

    Fight the invisible, and they will not bother you as much.

    Read the Book of Joshua. He was a might warrior and leader.

    Dear Surafiel.

    This is a very important issue. Bullying is smt really horible. In your shoes I wouldn't let it go like nothing important happens.

    There are many things you can do.

    First don't delay acting. Inform your family. Discuss with them what is the best solution out. Second Inform the Headmaster and teachers of your school. Don't avoid doing this. It is the first thing you must do. And insist on going to your school authorities. It is their responsibility to get you out of that situation. You can claim such a responsibility, even using the Law, if they are unwilling to help. But I thing they will help since a lot of bad things happen all the time due to bullying. The least they will be, is getting scared. They will have to face the Law. Don't let it go like nothing. It may lead to to really bad trouble.

    Go to God. Keep praying to God to help you, until He gets you out of that. Also fast if you can. In my opinion you must act as christian. Do not fight, but pray for them as the Lord has asked us to pray and love our enemies. Maybe they become your friends sometime. Ask other christians to pray and fast for you. But don't get it wrong. People often do not change even if we love and pray for them. If the situation gets really bad you must protect yourself in any proper way you can. Avoid them. Jesus sometimes kept going away from hostile crowds when He Knew that they were seeking to kill Him. Maybe change school? This is better sometimes than staying there and face such a thing, when things do not change. Again all these I have written to you maybe be far from the best thing you can do. You HAVE to discuss all these with your parents and teachers and decide what is best to do, and may God help you out. Talk to yor parents, your friends, your teachers, do not keep it inside you and be helpless. They can help you.

    God Bless Yoy.
