Bully Matched for School Project

Post Reply New Topic

For a school science project, the science teacher (who is my favorite) randomly paired me with a girl who is just horrible to me. She verbally abuses me all the time, and responds to my talking back as 'What?! I was like, trying to be nice to you.' I have to to two nice things for her by Friday, and a) I can't find anything nice about her and b) I don't really like lying to people's faces.

What should I do?

Could you let the teacher know? I understand not wanting to tell a teacher you don't like. But if I like a teacher I am more okay with telling them stuff. You could try just telling the teacher before school you don't get along with that student.

That's a tough one!

Honestly I think you should maybe ask for another partner. If the teacher asks why just answer truthfully. Just tell her you don't think it's a great match.

I feel like if you try to MAKE yourself do this project with someone you don't really care for than it may affect your grade. It would be hard for me too because I also cannot lie to someones face either. I would feel like I am being someone else if I did.

Since this teacher is your favorite you obviously have a reason why. Is she easy to talk to? Can you be upfront with her about your concerns? She may be able to give you a new partner.

Good luck.

Maybe tell the teacher simply, 'She doesn't treat me with equal respect.'

And it sounds like she really doesn't!

Well, if the project is to have two nice things about the mean girl you could say "She isn't afraid to tell people what she thinks of them" and "She is very intuitive at finding other people's weak spots". If you want to be nice even though you don't have to, you could say "She is her own person and does what she wants no matter what others think" and "Is outspoken and assertive".

To be honest, I think you really need to look at the heart of this problem, which, if I'm correct, is that you're being bullied.
You should tell somebody.
Sometimes that will admit to fudge all, but it might really help you enjoy your time at school more if you're not being treated with respect by somebody, who I assume is an NT.
If you don't tell anybody the full truth, then you may HAVE to lie, or else come up with some things that aren't exactly nice or horrible, like OliveOilMom suggested.
