Dear Queenie,
There is a boy in my class who is always saying insulting things about my family. He calls them “stupid” and “losers” and other mean things. I have told him not to say such things to me but he still does it.
Queenie, he makes me so mad. How can I get him to stop?—Offended
Dear Offended,
This boy is a bully, but there is not much you can do except ignore him and not let him know how much he is bothering you. Hopefully, if you do not react to his bullying he will quit and look for another victim.
However, you also might want to speak to your teacher and/or school counsellor about his behaviour. Someone in authority should make him understand how unacceptable his behaviour is.
