Classmate Don't Have A Chance

[Muted]

Do you have a teacher that you trust @PTSDfree ?

Have you talked to your parents about this?

Like a special school for people with mental health issues and disabilities? Or one with counseling? Sorry but I dunno what exactly you mean.

Yep - something like that. A school of 20 is small, so I'm wondering if the school is actually equipped to accommodate students with various health issues, or not.

Yeah. She still pokes me at school when I ignore her and really wants to talk to me.

What do you do, then?

There's a total of two full-time staff members at my school and I know them very well. I told both of them and all they did was tell me that they're sorry that's going on and ask me if I made it clear that I didn't want to do that stuff with her. And I definitely did. My main question to them was if it was possible for her to be separated from me in some way so that the harassment could stop and how her anger issues made me feel uneasy around her. Or at least some sort of meeting with her parents. They told me because it had been going on for so long that it was not possible to report her at school for acting like that. wtf???? (we have a system at my school to report people for bullying or just breaking the rules)

I told my dad when it started happening because I wanted him to know what was going on in case if she asked to be in private w/ me. Which did end up happening at the fundraiser. My mom is dead so I think that might be part of the reason why my classmate thought I would be an easy catch. I told my dad after talking to the staff members and told him how it went. I had already told a couple of them a few months before, but not the principal (until around the time I made this post). So he got involved too. He called the school and the staff members did not allow him to talk with her parents either despite how much the whole ordeal was bothering me. And that made him even more mad. I have all of the information down and am going to file a complaint with the department of education. They knew what was going on for months and did not try to do anything about her behavior. I have transferred to community college now because I am old enough anyway.

I think the staff members would've cared if she was a dude. But since we are both girls she is just "discovering her sexuality" nvm the fact that I'm not attracted to her and she's 250+ pounds of pure gross.

The principal who owns the school is a part-time counselor, but he's not a professional in it or anything like that. When she wants to talk to me about something, I try to be supportive and discourage her from talking about other people at the school even if she's really mad cuz it won't help anyone. She still gets pissy about it and then uses it as an excuse to go around and criticize the stuff that I do and tell other people about it.

It sounds like your advocating for yourself @PTSDfree and that is a huge step! I always say keep telling until someone finally listens. I'm proud of you.
