I would like too note before I start that I have ADHD and take vyvanse in order to manage it.
I’m a senior high school student who transferred schools in 2024.After the move, I experienced ongoing harassment and discrimination from a small group of students. Some of it happened in person and some online. regardless of this no matter how many times I reported such occurences teachers would fail too take action.
Over time, the stress built up badly. I started feeling constantly on edge, hyper‑aware of what people were saying about me, and anxious in social situations. There were a few incidents where I reacted badly under pressure, which I regret. The school has now told my parents that if there’s another serious incident, I could be asked to leave.
Here’s the complication: during the final term, things actually calmed down. I was mostly left alone, my AP classes are small, and academically I’m doing very well. I finally feel like I can succeed there since I already adjusted. Regardless, the fear hasn’t gone away. I’m still very anxious that things could start again, and I know I’m under zero tolerance now.
I was accepted into another school and I was so excited for a fresh start. It turns out I was gravely wrong because this girl I briefly spoke too on the open day decided to start talking with this "friend" of mine. My sense of paranoia triggered when he texted me for the first times in months suddenly to ask me about her.
I then realised she told him she was going too said school because of me. I then began to feel anxious about moving and started too try to convince my parents too simply think of changing. I told said friend I was moving because I was nervous about her. He then took a screenshot and sent it too her instantly. She started attacking me because I called her a liar which she was but once I debunked she instantly tried to take back whatever she said. I then made the grave mistake of telling her too leave me alone and that I want nothing to with her should I move there.
It then turned out my paranoia was justified since she was actually stalking me and knew about all the harassment I endured even threatening too tell others. I simply did not respond with anything that could be deemed agressive rather I showed my mom. I then blocked her however later my mom and older brother said it would be smarter and just made peace so I look like a peaceful person. We then took evidence should she try to spread rumors so people could see I opted for peace.
The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth though. I have noticed the fact I am slowly losing hair and I do not know what too do. thoughts about what too do next?
You should really ask yourself if things are worth stressing that much about. Your mom and brother are right. Making peace on this will be beneficial. Don’t spiral further and don’t die on a hill that isn’t worth it.
Also, by collecting ‘evidence’ and such, in this scenario, is like taking a loaded gun to a piece treaty. Just tell her your honest outlook on the situation without blaming her for anything and apologize if you escalated it.
You mean PEACE treaty. Also… It’s to, not too, OP. I am saying this TO you because you use too TOO much (and incorrectly). I don’t know what these apps and Covid have done to your brains, but reading/writing has obviously taken a hit.
yeah I realised I was doing that midway through since recently I’ve been doubting when I should use too or to
The way I think of it is: “too” has too many o’s.
Wow. You’re pretty harsh. Don’t go into teaching, Sal.
I mean I didn’t really have a problem I simply just asked Her too leave me alone and then she started sending pictures of me and threatening too tell others. Even after I just blocked her. I am confused however about wether I should stay or go.
NTA. I have had a very similar story in my last year of high school. Many rumors and harassment that started for no reason other than to make me miserable. Honestly, nothing to really do here. I took the coward way and finished my last year online. It helped me work on myself, and it greatly reduced my stress. schools are terrible at dealing with any problem, and the best thing to do is to talk it out among trusted friends and let it be. many school rumors disappear once everyone graduates anyway. best of luck to you!

what?
This is my motto:
It’s none of my business what other people say about me.
Or here’s what Katherine Hepburn once said:
I don’t care what they say about me, as long as it’s not the truth.
Be fiercely independent, OP. Laugh off what these clowns say. Pity them.
I mean I will be frank I adjusted and now I really don’t care about what is said too my face even if some of it is racially motivated. I just hate it when people would start annoying me online.
I get it. Swipe left, delete, block. Brush them off like the flakes of dust that they are. You’ll get so strong!
What if they post things about me on there private Instagrams to make fun of me. Thats what really scares me.
