At least they don't smell like something that doesn't belong in shoes.. like ass. That would be bad.

The media has always been a source that slanders things, takes things out of context etc and skips certain key things they could report but assume no one will care if they do and no one will notice if they don't. Fox News is the most notorious of them all for doing these acts. Best way to get news is to shop around and go to a few sources such as Reuters online, CNN and BBC. For world news, it doesn't hurt to also see if you can get news online from the actual country the news is happening for their local perspectives. If you want humor or to annoy yourself, Fox News is amusing to watch or it makes you want to gouge your eyes out, so be wary. xD The Daily Show and Colbert Report are great for catching up on news blunders all the time. For comedy shows, they sure can be pretty serious on catching those things and calling out newscasters and stations for being idiots. xD
I totally understand that it feels like you are giving in to someone being an asshat, but in the end you aren't. In the end, that person is only harming himself. He's an idiot. Don't 'take' what he dishes out. Reflect it away from you. What he says, don't let it be important and mean a thing to you because he's -no one- of consequence. When you get out of high school you will probably only see him a couple times if that. That's the good thing about school. Once you get out, a lot of the arsewipes you knew are history and you can get on with your life. You've already proven to yourself that you -can- fight if someone does crap to you physically. There's nothing else to have to prove there. Don't consider it, in your case, that if you hit this guy you could end up wrecking your life and going to an opportunity school. (Here, we call them Detention Homes. Your place sounds so much friendlier xD). Think of it more as in he's really being fricken petty and you've got other things to do in school than waste time on someone who after your senior year, you are likely to never have to set eyes on again. You have a future to think about and that putz isn't in it. Hope things get easier for you and really, don't punish yourself for holding back against plugging some idiot. He's not worth your punch. In the end if you can feel that way, you may get to the point you can blow him off and even get to telling him to shut his pie hole. xD
The good thing is that you have the ability to save up money so I'd just send it since you do. If you didn't, it'd be a different story. If nothing else, if you don't have one by Xmas time, I'd ask for one then. xD
Words can only hurt if you let them. Some girl at school who is a nobody to you and says whatever should not hurt as much as words said in scorn by your family or closest friends. What your family or friends might say can hurt but generally they may also be trying to help you or point out something that's really frustrating them. There's a difference in why they will say hurtful things versus some silly betch or deck at school. You have the power to say their words don't make a difference to you and to learn to feel that way too. It's a good thing to -now- while you are in school, build up that wall against caring what some people say that is particularly nasty and just meant to demean you and make you feel bad. In the adult world, if you react with violence over words, it shows you haven't grown up and you'll also be more likely to be behind bars. People that use words to get nasty reactions from people that are not doing anything wrong to them are scumbags. Don't give them what they want. If your reactions to their idiocy instead of with humor, indifference and tolerance, trust me, you get farther than if you show their words actually cut into you. I was bullied for years until I hit around 11-12 and yeah, I had to resolve some things 'physically' because I was being beaten on and pushed around and well I never reacted physically until it actually -hurt- because kids around me were wusses compared to adults that were beating on me at home heh. I did have to resolve some things physically because they -were- physical. The mental stuff though, I have found it far more effective to just learn that their words are meant to make me look like an idiot and so instead, I developed a keen wit, became sarcastic, and even made jokes about what they were trying to do. I'd ignore them or just tell them how silly they were being and most of them after left me alone because I couldn't be considered a vulnerable easy target anymore. It -does- work as I also helped several others in school that were being bullied by hopping in and being a 'word' vigilante. It actually became kind of entertaining. (I was a very bored youth sometimes). If nothing else works, think back to a very elementary lesson little kids say. "I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and goes back to you." Even little children are taught to learn some social habits of sarcasm, wit and to not let others get to them who are just plain stupid.
No problem. I hope you get to feeling better soon and it is a sucky situation. It's sadly a situation though that happens to a lot of guys and girls and all we can do is really just learn from it and hope in the future other things go better. Hang in there and keep your head up.
Cyberbullying is not even the real issue here. It's easier to take care of than the real bullying going on. Yes, you fear what she may be saying to your friends online and she's a disrespectful little brat. However, you're rather immune to her online as you can say whatever and so can she and you have the right to ignore her. I'd suggest online to stop caring so much what she's doing and just talk to your friends. Make her -less important- as in if you are talking, don't even mention her and just chat with your friends. You can block her out or get out of a convo with her and calmly explain to other friends that you get treated poorly by her in school and enough is enough, you don't simply want to hear it online and that your friends are welcome to make their own judgments. You don't need to defend yourself more than that. As for in school, the suggestions of beating on her for mental abuse are not the way to go. Maybe you need to work on your wit and self-esteem some. She cannot hurt you with words if you really do consider that she's wasting all this time and energy on trying to make you feel bad. Think of it. She's taking all this time to insult you and if you don't let it bother you anymore and just shrug at what she says and say 'your comments really aren't important and you're wasting your time on trying to make me feel bad. I must be really important for you to be doing that because why else would you day in and day out do this? You now go to the internet too? You really need something better to do." If you can't say any of that out loud, say it in your head. Build up a wall in your defenses to not be overly defensive but to bounce off these silly words she says to you. She sees you as weak and an easy target. It's time you make yourself less of a target by learning to blow her off. Become less exciting to her and show her words mean nothing. Go on with your day. These kind of people inside are really shallow and pathetic. You've got more going for you. Focus on your school work, other friends around you and heck, get yourself involved in some school programs and clubs that she is not in. Meet some other people. If you're around those other people and she starts in on you just look at them and say that this girl has bothered you for a long time and you haven't a clue why but you're going to ignore it and hope they will too and that maybe one day she'll be bold enough to actually tell you what her problem is so that this can be over. In other words, be the bigger person here. The less you show you care... and the less you actually care about it, the more soon she's likely to give up on this. Of course, there's the odd chance she may be stupid and become more aggressive, but if she does... she's being rather stupid, isn't she? She has -no reason- to do that. If she did, you could turn her bullying tactic words on her. Just remember to be in control of your emotions and be strong. Being strong doesn't mean just beating up someone. It means that you grow some thick skin and can withstand verbal attacks by others because in the end, they are childish and you are not. Let us know how things turn out and I hope things get better for you. As for those who are posting to fight her... I will say this. If she actually was physically assaulting her, yeah, I don't believe anyone has a right to lay a hand on someone else and well, when someone hit me, they regretted it. However, words are words and this girl likes to play mind games. The way to beat mind games and not look like an idiot is usually to get yourself above them and move on. After a time, because you have, the other person is just going to look plain stupid, or get a clue. I see why people would want to beat the tar out of her. Hell, it's instinctive to at least make her cry for how she's acting, and a good slap of reality can do that quicker than words. But it's not going to help this person if she shows she's over violent and reacting to words. It'll make her seem pathetic and out of control, feeding into what this girl wants. The girl seems out to sabotage her, so if she did something physical, this other girl would go report her etc and then her life would be worse. Hope that makes sense on why some people are saying to not fight. It has nothing to do with being afraid of fighting. There are more ways to fight than with fists.
Just use commonsense when you go. Don't accept rides or get too close to strangers or wander about in areas that you do not know well. Stay out of alleys and don't go into people's homes etc that you do not know unless accompanied by an adult you do know. Other than that, have a safe trip and I'm sure everything will be fine. It's good to have a healthy 'caution' over this sort of thing, but try to not be paranoid or too worried. If you make yourself seem like you are worried to others, it can make you look weak and vulnerable. Just try to enjoy your time and do what is suggested here and I believe you'll be just fine.
Thanks. hope all is going well for you.
lol, same here.
I was going to accuse you but I decided to risk life cuz it's fun.
