I get pushed into walls and alot of different things that happen getting made fun of by peers that don't even know me so what up with that?

and is it because I am below grade average?

I am way below grade average. just to let you know

Hi Teen16!

I'm not sure if you're looking for advice or just venting, but I want to let you know you're being heard. I'm 21 now, but in school I was teased a lot, too. For just the opposite reason you are. I was in advanced and gifted classes. I know it's hard to deal with and it hurts every day. Just rest assured that it's because of their own insecurities. More than likely, you get a lot of attention from teachers/counselors/etc.. for your disorder? The other kids are just looking for recognition, too, and are, in many ways, jealous. Once you get out of high school and into the real world, you'll find that people aren't nearly as cruel. I know it seems like a long way off, but trust in yourself and you'll be out of there before you know it.

Hoping Some Kind Words Could Help,

You just gotta try to ignore people, at best as you can. And don't keep your feelings inside, either. Express them in some way, it'll make you feel better.

Talk to someone about it.

I know how hard it can be, and I also know you arne't doing yourself any good by keeping the feelings inside.

Good luck!

That makes me so mad. Kids are cruel - that's a fact of life. But the teachers & other adults who ignore it are worse than the kids themselves.

Kids are so cruel, i had alot of problems at scholl with bullying and most times would go home crying and make myself sick. It was because i could not answer questions on the spot, or speak out infront of a class and i could not read or write properly.

Be brave please, you are only young and you can show them that it doesnt effect you.

I am now 28 and am doing the job i set my heart on when i was 6 even though the teachers and students said i would never accomplish anything worth while, but i had to prove them wrong - and that i did.

Last year i went out to a few pubs and clubs and bumped in to some of the bullies, 3 of them appologised to me for being so horrible to me and i just smiled!

Anyway, morral of the story - keep your head up high, make sure you all ways smile and dont let it get to you. They will soon see that you are not bothered by them - it will be difficult but TRY PLEASE, believe me it will work <<HUGGS>>
