Something bad happened.....

Post Reply New Topic

Something bad happened to me last lesson, in which I got bullied by some people who were saying very inappropriate stuff and literally annoyed me greatly. I was keeping my cool, but after others got involved, I lost it. I told the teacher that I was going to go out the lesson because I was getting annoyed, and then one of the troublemakers used my autism and stress as an excuse to get out of the lesson, which greatly angered me.

I eventually lost it, telling them all the shut up and called them a prick. I then stormed out, then told everyone to "SHUT UP!" after they all laughed at me. I then went out the lesson and somewhere to calm down. I am now in my schools library (I like it here) typing this up now with people I care about.

It reminds me of that meltdown I had a while back. I wanna go home already......

Are the librarians nice to you?

Try not to worry about those people. Kids will often seek out those who are different to pick on. It happens to non-autistic kids, too. I myself had to deal with it a lot growing up. A lot of times they just do it to impress other kids.

One way to better handle it is to not let them know it bothers you. If they think you are not affected by their behavior, they'll often get bored because they aren't receiving a reaction. They are just stupid kids not even worthy of your attention.

Hang in there.

I can identify. I used to get taunted like that, and I used to lash out like that, too.

I wasn't sent to the library, though. I was usually sent to the guidance counselor.

Just pick up a book on one of your favorite interests, and read it. Soak up the atmosphere of the book. This will help calm you down.

Or browse the Internet.

Man...if only they had computers in libraries in the 1970s!

Yes, the librarians are really nice to me, along with my TAs as well.

And I do try to ignore these people. Except that they have been annoying me for years and that today, they were being incredibly mean and nasty towards me, saying inappropriate stuff about me (I was disgusted by all this) and making fun of my stress and using it to just cause trouble.

I am sick of it, and I cannot take it anymore

Your instructors are doing a terrible job of ensuring appropriate behavior in school, in my opinion. Part of their job is to create a good learning environment. Kids that are being tormented aren't going to be able to learn very well.

My schools weren't any better, though. They had no idea of the things that were going on behind their backs. I dropped out of school because of other kids bullying me.

Oh no, the teachers are not bad at all, they do sort the misbehaving ones out. I mean, in most of my lessons the teachers have been shouting at and sending out the rude children. Also, the teacher who was in my class at the time did not know what was happening. I also feel really bad for you, since you got bullied back then. Hopefully, everything is fine for you now

Oh, and I did read a book in the library. And if they did have olden computers, then I would be happy, considering that I do like retro/olden day computers and game consoles

In the 1970s, there were NO computers in libraries.

The "olden" computers would probably be from the 1990s LOL

Most people didn't have Internet until at least the mid-1990s.

By the way, how are you doing academically?

Oh, okay. It would be cool though
About that......I am good in drama and media, and I know a lot in history.....but that's about it.

Also, I apparently worried one of my closet friends, who said he did not want anything like this to happen again. He then helped me out by letting me stay with one of the staff in the office, which where I am now typing this up. Hopefully, the day will end and I can go home and chill out for a bit

Yep...just cool off at home.

Not a bad idea

Regarding those students who are taunting you ... you cannot change their behaviour, but you can control your reaction to it. Whatever they are saying that is bothering you, don't be so bothered by it. What they think is just that. It's not reality. I know words hurt, especially when they are designed to aggravate you. But just because that's what they want, you don't have to give it to them. Learn to comfortable with your fallibilities, even to laugh at yourself. And remember, you can turn things around and go on the offensive, even if only in a teasing way.

Hey Riley,
Just remember im always here! if you need something jus ask!

I am not sure what year you are in but only few more months to go. (understanding that there are only 11 years and 15 is usually in year 11).

Kids used to tell me in high school that only (insert how many years here I had left) to go even though I didn't get bullied because it was a very small school but kids weren't always nice to me and they were not understanding. My mom's excuse for them was "They're just children" to explain away their ignorance and lack of understanding. I don't know if this is meant to make me feel better or if this was her way of telling me to not take them seriously because they don't know any better and they won't be that way forever and they aren't being malicious. Kids and teens always get a free pass for ignorance.
