Hello everybody, I really need help with this and I hope somebody can help me put an end to this bullying against me happening in college.

I just realized that I’m a bullies’ target wherever I go, be it school or now in college. I already have trouble making friends because I’m a bit shy and calm, I don’t like to speak a lot when I’m with people I don’t know. Even when I try, this bully comes out of nowhere and name-calls me. During first couple of weeks in college, I didn’t recognize this guy was targetting me because they name he chose to call people does not relate to me in any way so after a couple of times he finally came to me and told me whenever he calls that name it means he is name-calling me and when he did that infront of a couple of students it felt kind of insulting but I just laughed it off because this guy is trying to be funny when he’s not. I certainly wont mind if my friends would joke with me but I don’t know this guy at all and he behaves the same way with everybody whether he knows them or not. Each time the teacher or somebody would mention my name he would use that name and make his gang laugh at it although some others in class don’t like him as well. I thought if I ignored him he would stop, but he doesn’t and it’s getting annoying now. It kind makes me feel low so I just feel I don’t want to speak with anyone anymore because that I’m being targetted but am not able to reply back. I don’t want to make a huge issue out of this, but I would be grateful if somebody could help me find a simple way I could make this guy stop. I’m sure this guy (and all bullies in the world) has problems in his life and takes it out on others by trying to humiliate them. One my classmates though did notice and told me to just ignore this guy because name-calling me wont make him any better.

Just tell him to his face how you feel about the name calling…bring him aside and say hey I don’t know what your problem is, but grow up.

If he doesn’t stop, if you can ignore it that’s great, but if you can’t then start documenting everything. Dates, times, locations and witnesses and the event that occured. If you feel it is necessary file a harrassement claim.

stand up for yourself. yes you might get physically hurt, but stand up and tell him where to get lost. i know how hard it is, but get past the fear of getting hurt, and realize that the worst that could happen is you get killed. and if that was to happen, then it wouldnt matter anyway, because you would already be dead ;)

okay so i know what im saying doesnt fill you with confidence, but just stand up to this guy and show him that you’re sick of his hurtful comments x

Thanks for the response both of you. I guess what I felt was right, I should just tell him in his face.

@ DoubleGin19: No I don’t think that guy would kill me, he’s just bullying so that he can laugh, nothing else.

@ littlenick: That’s the last thing I want to do, like I said I don’t want to make it a big issue and I’d like to handle it myself. Thanks for your suggestion anyway. :)

well if things get rough..
you might have no choice but to report the matter to a school administrator..

[so why not save the roughness for another day?? lol]
even though it’s a logical choice but i would go with telling him straight to stop it.
