I'm being bullied for something I can't control!?
Question:
Answers:
Whoever is bullying you is stupid for bullying someone because of ADHD and OCD.
Whenever he does bully you, just try to think about how much of a loser he is for bullying someone with ADHD.
ignore them completely and don't show that ur offended, all they want is for you to be troubled. if all else fails, u do need to report it. if u r too embarassed to, then remain anoumnyous
No, but you can change your attitude to it.
If you look at it like they're ignorant fools following the herd, maybe you can see how pathetic they are and not take to heart what they say.
It will make you stronger if you let it.
don't let them get to you . . .thats how they get satisfaction . . . ignore them dont give them the time of day
and i guess thats why people go to school with a gun
MOVE! or take advantage of ur OCD and ADHD, i got a friend who has the same problem, he always grabs his package, we mess with him, and he messes with us, its all good
stand up for yourself and dont let those bullies control you, through this summer holiday think of a few words that u could say and kiss them bullies goodbye. bullies are people who think they are it and they arent it, perhaps go to a couple of karate lessons lol, only jokin
Yes thier is something you can do for that. take vitamens. Take amino acids will tell your foods and vitamens where they are needed in your body even in the brain. That will help you. when you go to the link below also type up brain vitamens. Get something that says nervis system for the brain that might help you. THey also have good brain booster theat will improve you in school 100%. Try these things if the medicene your doctor is not working. Try them any way.
You are surrounded by ignorant, close-minded individuals. Don't think they don't know what they say is hurtful. Maybe you can educate them or ask the school nurse to hold a small seminar on the condition. If you are not comfortable with that you should talk to the school's faculty about their harassment policy. That will put heat on them and they will enforce the rules.
Don't hold this in. Vent (in the right way). You have rights.
And DON'T take other meds!
Unfortianatly no but if you got respect not many people would slag you over it, get really good at a sport or get a really hot girlfriend who'll be laughing then?
OCD how ever is a different kettle of fish, it's really annoying 'cos I had it as a child and still kinda do but it wasn't very noticable to every one, just keep your self occupied and don't think about your problem and resist it if you have to. Even thinking about my OCD has kind of stated it up again the best thing to do is not worry about it and forget about it.
Oh man, I know what you mean by that! My brotehr has ADHD and a few other things to go along with it, and he used to get bullied all the time. Then my brother started lifting weights and got HUGE muscles, then nobody messed with him because even if he hugged you it hurt!
And I get bullied because I have depression and panic attacks, then I worked on running fast and learned a different language so people would hear me speaking a different language and think I'm weird and leave me alone; and if they didn't stop then since I was one of the fastest, the people would try to defeat me in races and I'd let them get halfway there before I started off then I'd still win. So once they got defeated by the "wierd freaky kid" everybody knew and laughed at them, which is what they get for bullying people! And this also applies to band class too. :D
Bottom Line: If you have a really great talent (or more than one) work on it so there will always be that one (or more) subject where you can beat the bullies just by doing what you normally do.
just don't listen. i have both of those, and my OCD is especially outta control. people make their fun, but don't let it bother you. just block them out. they're most likely just trying o hide something about themselves.
When the first guy makes fun of you this year get up and while holding a roll of nickels punch him right in the Face and dont stop punching till someone pulls you off. This will make everyone think twice about teasing you.
Find something funny about it and make jokes. Laugh with them and they will stop teasing you! "I can wash my hands five times more often than you can!" Hahahaha
aww dont listen to the loser below!! hes just mad hes not perfect
dont worry i took care of him hehe
and as for ur problem wit bieng made fun of just let them know that there only tryen to make there selves seem better by picken on somone who isnt like them
i take all theese things seriously because i have a family member whos mentally retarted =[ and i love my uncle very much and i would kill a person who messes wit him even tho hes older hes sick so i care alot =[
i hope this doesnt continue in ur life
Some people are pigs and the only way to make them back off is to try to talk to them. If this doesn't work then you will have to report them to your advisor. I was once harassed by a large idiot in my school because his girl liked me and spoke to me a great deal. One day we had words and it led to a fight. I am not a great fighter but I managed to cut his ear and blackened his eye. No more confrontations. Incidentally he cut my lip and gave me a swollen jaw but it was great. I got the big idiot off my back. I am not suggesting that you battle these stupid people but if you talk to them you may make a point or two. Otherwise explain your problem to your advisor.
Your best bet is to research (from reputable sources) over the summer about your ADHD and OCD so that you are really informed. Also, get support and information in helping you optimally manage the conditions.
The reason I recommend this is that the more informed you are, the more you will be able to not let other's ignorance get to you as much. Of course it is inevitable that some cruel, ignorant bullies will exploit whomever and whatever they can to get their superiority jollies, but anyone who would act that way isn't worth knowing anyway.
Of course it is painful when others are cruel to someone about something that is not their fault (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc). You may be able to bring charges against physical bullying (assault is a crime). You may also be able to enlist the help of some teachers/counselors at your school who are enlightened and informed about the issues involved. The school officials should actively deal with preventing bullying.
The sad truth, however, is that bullies often do their dirt away from the attention of adults. As much as possible, avoid any interactions from these scumbags, who get pleasure from hurting others. If they can hurt you, they get their little superiority high.
The more you emotionally accept your issues as the matter-of-fact physical conditions that they are and manage them just as you would any other physical condition, the less the taunts will sting. Kids have been bullied for being diabetic, for wearing glasses, for having cancer. It's ugly behavior, and whatever they say about you is really about their own secret fears about themselves.
ADHD and OCD are actually very, very common. You may have this in common with more of your classmates than you realize. See if there are any support groups online for you.
Also, there are some very good books. One is "Brain Lock", which is a good book for information. There is also a good autobiographical book written by a very successful radio broadcaster in SF named Jeff Bell, titled Rewind, Replay,Repeat.
Be strong, take good care of yourself, and don't allow the A..holes to cause you to feel bad about yourself. They are the ones who are wrong.
Find good people, and hang with them.
One last thing; these conditions can impact your attention for learning, so that you may miss important information. By law the school must help you so that you can succeed. Two good websites are; ldonline.org and schwablearning.org.
Warm wishes to you.
I have both too! Try to ignore them, or tell them that they're just jealous because you're special-er than them. If they say, "Yeah right," or something. Just repeat what you said last time.
wow.smh. empower yourself and ignore those that look for someone that isn't beating to the same drum. sadly people can be so evil to others when put in a situation that they have little knowledge or so many personal issues that its easier to focus on others than LQQK in the mirror.peace
Keep your chin up, that's my first bit of advice.
Okay, there is always the option of transferring schools- do you have any private schools you can go to, maybe? You may get more individual attention there and the teachers might see that others don't pick on you.
...Other than that, all I can say is ignore the hell out of those people and they'll eventually tire of giving you a hard time. Remember, what goes around comes around.
Take some self defense lessons,and bulk up.Next school year,pick one guy and open up a can of whoop a** on him.The other ones will leave you alone after that.Do not do it on school property though,and make sure you discuss this with your parents first.I don't condone fighting,but sometime there is no other way.
Bullies are nothing but big scared babies themselves tell them u r glad they r picking on u cause that just means they r leaving somebody else alone give them an I pity u look and laugh them off.
As simple as i may sound, but the best thing to do is ignore them. When they relaized that you are not bothered by their insults, they will eventually stop. Kids are so immature. I promise when you get to a higher grade the teasing will stop.
I assume that you are being treated for ADHD and OCD because people at school make fun of you. It is very brave of you to admit that you have ADHD and is compliace with treatment. Good luck, and don't let the little people get to you.
I don't know whether you would consider trying this or not but this is my suggestion; Make it a project, maybe for a health class or some other class, but make it a project to try to educate the student body about ADHD and OCD. Tell them all you can about these disorders and provide handouts.Then, when they know more about it they will understand why you are the way you are and (hopefully) stop bullying you.
