Difficulties with classmates

[Aleksander Krstic]

Hi,

to get started I'd like to tell you that I suck at volleyball. This is what the main problem is related to-everyone makes an idiot out of me.

I have a special classmate who makes fun of me everytime I touch the ball.
They also insult me because I'm slow and consequently getting in the way of my classmates which are trying to learn(not meanwhile the game, but the training sessions before we play).

I've got this problem, because I don't entirely understand the Steve's idea of not following the social conditioning, i.e. mainstream.

So my question is, whether:

a)Should I try to my best at volleyball, being constantly focused, fast, etc.?
b)Should I just relax and let them think what they want to?

you're being bullied.

This'll probably one of the hardest things people get, when introduced into society.

So I'd like for you to think about my suggestion.

Do not back down, be aggressive, if you have to fight, fight it out. I am sure you will not want to be the school's idiot.

Prove them wrong wrong, work 120 percent harder than everyone. In the end you'll reap a better future.

Promise yourself that you will not let anyone step on you.

Note:

This is only my suggestion. I hate bullies. The only thing I'm grateful to them is because they made me work hard to prove to them that they are nothing.

Alternative view.

That classmate may actually like you.

Calmly talk to him/her why he/she likes making fun of you

After you have all the facts, treat the person in a civil manner and move on with your life.

With regards to your question about mainstream, you don't have to take steve's words to heart, ask him what he means, instead think for yourself. He's just a man, but your the one who's responsible for your life.

^,^

Good luck.

You should try your best at the class, no matter what it is. You are in the class for YOU not to please a classmate.

If someone has to bully you about learning, that's his problem not yours. Ignore him or pretend like you don't care. Depending on the context, laughing along with his comment might take away the satisfaction he gets from his barbed comments. Some people just take sports way too seriously, and he needs to get over himself.

If you'd like to get better, can you practice out side of class? Is there someone in the class you are friends with who might like to play ?

try not to let one jerk's comments get you down.

Can you just stop playing with those classmates? Do you have to attend volleyball lessons? What about teachers? Are they just watching the whole situation without doing anything? I would definitely speak to the headteacher about that.

Also, the more you fear of something happening, the more likely it will happen to you. So if you are coming to play with the attitude of fear, you are likely to bring out the feeling of superiority over you in others.
