The dumb one

im in a group of friends in school and they are m best firneds. but i have always been know as the 'dumb' one. they always use terms such as 'retarted' and make fun of my test scores. They are my best friends and i didnt bother me until recently until it has become very bad. im unsure of what to do as i cant confront them becaue they will make fun of me.......... any ideas??

Best friends? They are not even good friends if they treat you that way. I know it's hard to go out and find new friends. Sometimes it leaves us alone without anyone. Maybe you can start took look elsewhere for people who are kinder.

If you want to confront them, tell them that you don't want to hear all of their bad comments.

My heart goes out to you, my friend. I was bullied when I was younger. Luckily in my teens, I decided to take command of who would be my friend or not. There are a lot of good people out there, you just have to make the effort to find them.

good luck,

Otter.
