What should I do?

don’t worry. I have had quite a bit of trouble at school with bullying, but not until my 4th year. the thing to do is to make loads of friends, and ignore the bullies. To be honest if they say something to you then just say soemthing nice back like you like their hair, sounds daft but they realise that you don’t care, that’s the trick, even if you do care. and tell a teacher, trust me suffering in silence is not a good idea, take this from someone who has tried it! the teachers can help an awful lot, it may not seem asthough they are doing anything useful but they are.

Good Luck with your new school, have fun. You are just the same as every body else, so smile at every body else. If they ask questions then answer them, they are normally just curious. I did a powerpoint to my class and it helped a lot, that was a ‘difficult class’ and that one lesson made a world of difference.

I’m sure that you will find that although you are worried it will be absolutely fine. there are always a few people who aren’t very nice, but these are normally the people that you will see in a few years time adn they will be saying do you want fries with that. these nasty peopleo normally have insecurities with themselves and normally do badly at school and have no GCSE’s to get them anywhere in life.

So good Luck, Have fun and smile.
A new school is a gateway to new opportunities.

I just moved to a new school not to long ago i found that people won’t be mean but theyll be curious, you need to except that people are gonna stare every now and then, most of the people dont do it in bad way theve just problly never seen anyone with a cleft lip before, so a new schools nothing to worrie about casue after the first few days once everyones noticed it they start getting to now you a notice you as a person, which is top. when people are nasty casue there are insecure people out there, easy way out of it if someone makes a punt, i normally just go ‘Ya so?’ normally does the trick of getting them to now im confident in myself and i care about what descent people think not bullies. Hope you fit in well with your new school :D

I’ve moved around loads. Just make some great friends and then laugh it off. If you explain to people and show them your scars (they are oddly curious about scars) they are less likely to bully you.

Just laugh it off with your friends and don’t let them isolate you
