What should I do about being verbally abused?

It depends on what state you are in. Some school systems have what is called an Ombudsman program (you can google it). Basically, it is a completely confidental form of reporting things within the school system. You don’t have to disclose your name or any of your information. You just create a log in and password so you can check on the status of your complaint. It’s really a great system.

However, if your state does not offer something like that then I recommend speaking with the guidancecounselorr. They are trained to deal with situations like this. I am very concerned for you. As I am sure you have seen on the news and media being a LGBT is not safe these days. It is costing a lot of peopletheirr lives. With that being said let me encourage you to not take this bullying lightly. This may be just the beginning. If you don’t do something about it, it will get worse. Take care of yourself.

I, coincidentally, have the exact same problem. I actually faked being sick twice last week just so I didn’t have to face the idiots at my school.

I know how it hurts, even if you say it doesn’t. I mean, you and I know that half of the guys abusing you are closeted neanderthals who are to scared to be honest with themselves, but it does hurt when they say stuff like that.

I also know it is really hard to go to the principal or another teacher about it, but when you think about it, you just have to be the adult and ignore the ridicule you’ll get from telling some one. I’m seriously considering walking straight to the vice-principal’s office the moment those idiots get started again. Yeah, they’ll have something to say about it, but if she actually does something, it’ll be worth it.

It’s much easier said than done to ignore them. You can pretend that they’re not hurting you, but deep down it really does leave a scar behind.

Good luck with all of this. I hope it works out! =]*X

I’m so sorry you’re being subjected to that, that’s bs! Good for you for being able to deal with it and handling it in a pretty good way, thats pretty amazing of you. The best suggestion I would have without getting the school involved is just to stick up for yourself. Like I know that sounds dumb but next time they say something to you, have like a really good line back and just go off on them. Show them how badass gay guys really are. I know this could be considered immature or just stooping to their level, but sometimes that’s the only way to get rid of them, because then maybe you can earn their respect. Easier said than done too, I know, but just a suggestion, you could always try it. Good luck, and don’t let anyone tell you your anything other than amazing! 🙂

I know how going to the principal will make you feel like a child, but sometimes that’s the best thing to do. Why should you have to skip school while that group of people who are probably not going to amount to anything in their lives get to stay there even though they probably aren’t learning anything? I’ve never been bullied or been a bully so I don’t really know how to help you, but watch this video, you may get some useful tips.

When I was in high school, my teachers would stand outside their doors between classes and say hi to the kids as they walked through the halls and went in their classes. So they saw everything that went on in the hallways. You could ask one of your teachers to casually stand outside their class, and when those kids say something to you in the hall then your teacher could step in, and it’ll seem like the teacher just happened to be there and not like you told on them. Just an idea. I know it’s hard to ignore and no one should have to put up with that, but if you do something mean back it’ll only add fuel to the fire. If it continues to get worse, I would let your counselors or teachers know who it is, so they’ll look out for it and hopefully catch them in the act and put a stop to it. I hope it gets better!

Verbally abused? You have too much pride.

Just agree with everything they say. ‘Yes, I’m gay.’ ‘You’re right, this morning I didn’t have enough time to style my hair, any advice?’ ‘Yes, I do like to look at shirtless guys. Remove yours, I’ll rate you.’

Eventually they will become bored. If it’s very apparant, they might become embaressed. It’s nothing. Respond as it’s a joke.

The only hurtful things they can say is the truth. If it’s the truth, why are you bothered?

The worst and extremely unlikely possibility is physical violence. It’s great, your friends and you can crush them without negative consequence.

Your story sound so similar to mines which the verbal abuse i take some of it even from my family and other people even teachers hurt me.I was cutting my rist and i felt good doing it. There was literally no one to stop me but i’m here for you i’m Bi and people don’t know yet it’s bad enough i get it enough already from what people say even my family so i felt alone. Like no one literally cared about me and i hurt everyday. Just please be your self don’t hurt yourself like i did i was called fat fag until it pushed me to having me have an eating disorder my smallest size was 135lbs now i’m 144.8 mantaining it. So it’s just alot of things don’t let it get you down. Because you can tell them you’re Gods child he made you that way. And in any given possibility they could’ve been gay or they might be just picking on you because they’re afraid to come out. They are insecure about them selves.

there is nothing you can do other than go to a higher authority. These people are not going to change because of a catchy phrase or gimmick. They need life experience which may takes decades, meanwhile you need to have a good life.

Do what you need to do tp protect yourself from this abuse. Not telling the principal does not make you grown up. Making difficult and correct decisions makes you a responsible person.

take care of yourself and do what is necessary to achieve that.

im not sure if you wanted a person in your place to respond…im a straight girl but i see nothing wrong with sexual preferences honestly. what people do is their own business.i just wanted to reply to you cuz i hate stupid bully who have nothing better to do than try to intimidate people.

you could report it to the principal when its early in the morning and that way no one is around. explain to him you do not want them to find out because then you will get teased worse. say it is interfering with your education or something like that so he pays more attention.

also, when you pay by in front of them, dont ever look upset. if you feel like frowning, think of your boyfriend and how you feel happy when your around them, just smile! it may weird them out at first but once they see their words dont affect you, there will be no reason for them to continue. they only do it to see you react. if you cant deal with it, find a different path to avoid them.

be proud of what you are. remember, gay or not, you are still a man. dont let them feel inferior. no one can make you feel bad unless you let them. i wish you luck in this world filled with descrimination and crazy people. learn to live with it. as long as youre happy with your choices, dont care about what others think. be yourself.

good luck! (:

You’ve got to face the reality that being openly gay is going to get you noticed and ridiculed. You can complain and tattle all you want, but realistically, you’re not going to get a whole lot of sympathy from anyone. Man up and deal with it or go back in the closet.
