Been a struggle

Poppy's picture
Ive been in 5th grade for two weeks now?

Im having trouble in math and a little bit in reading. Im already being picked on or teased.

Luckily im reading books everyday and my sis is tutoring me.

Kids are mean these days I HAVE to say that. I keep trying to remember that I can make it through school I guess everything is not what it seems

Everyone has some struggles

Everyone has some struggles in life they have to overcome or work with. I do too, I personally struggle in math sometimes too, but I'm in high school. Everything happens for a reason. But people who pick on you probably think it's funny, or maybe they are jealous of you? Sometimes some kids grow up in a different environment that isn't healthy for them. When I get discouraged about my grades, I always tell myself my efforts will be worthwhile. Remember, it's not about the shoes you wear, or what blue jeans you wore, or how you did your hair, what matters is what you learn now to use in the future. It's very kind of your sister to help you, some kids are going to be mean for reasons you may not know, but the best thing to do is just ignore them and walk away. Keep up the good work, I wish you lots of luck!

Aww, I know how you feel. I

Aww, I know how you feel. I was teased throughout a good part of my fourth grade year because I was "different" from the other kids, as in I liked different things. 8C It certainly isn`t fun. There were days when I didn`t even want to go to school, I was so miserable.

But I`ll tell you this: Don`t ever give up. Ever. I used to think that this little clique of girls would never stop bothering me. I was afraid to tell on them because I thought they would try to get revenge on me or something. XD My parents told my teacher about it many times; and though she tried to stop it, it didn`t cease to occur.

But, guess what? My speech teacher eventually found out about it-I was initially afraid to tell her because she was friends with one of the girls who picked on me-and she talked to my teacher, who proceeded to finally put things straight. Those girls wound up getting in big trouble for what they did to me and countless other kids. That was five years ago, and I`m in a completely different school now. I`m pretty sure I`ll never see them again, for the most part, anyway.

So I advise you, if these kids persist in bothering you, don`t hesitate to stand up for yourself. And if you`re a little shy about that, like me, don`t hesitate to tell a teacher. I know it might seem a bit much, but if the bullying persists, do it. Trust me. ♥

And I, too, struggle in math. Always have. I used to get either kind of good or borderline failing grades all of the time in it. Even now, in a technical high school, I still botch a test every once in a while. Math isn`t easy, man. XD

So good luck to you! If there`s ever something bothering you, feel free to talk to us. We`re always here to listen. ♥

I was bullied relentlessly up

I was bullied relentlessly up until fifth grade.
It lessened in middle school, but ultimately followed me all the way up to my senior year in HS.
The only thing that changed was how I handled it throughout the years.

People, no mater what you do, will always have something negative to say to try and being you down.
The best thing you can do, is "do you":
Do what makes you happy.
Do what makes you smile.
Be around people that are positive influences!

Remember, they are people just like you.
We all bleed the same color in the end, no matter what you look like on the outside.

So, always stay kind. Be humble and honest.
But do not let those people walk all over you.
Don't let the world get the best of you.


Listen.
There IS a world OUTSIDE of school.
And what you do IN school is what will influence what you do OUTSIDE of it!


You have value in this world, and your very own personal set of skills to offer it.
People who are like-minded and similar to you will gravitate to you, and you will them. Smiling
I promise.


It seems so far away, and you're young, I know.
But one day, after surviving those grueling years in school and you're able to put that good education to use, you will be able to give yourself a pat on the back as you look back and say that you did it! And you'll be so proud.


Sorry I kept editing my comment. I hope it helps you.
