There is a bully at my school and he sits right next to me, he says my mother is a dumb female dog and when iask the teacher for a punishment to him he turns the story around. I need help and when I ignore him he stabs me with his pencil.
There are two ways to deal with a bully. You can stand up to them, or you can arrange to have them knocked down. I can't help you with the former, but I can tell you how to do the latter. Next time he stabs you, make sure he leaves a mark. Push yourself into the pencil if you have to. Immediately show your teacher. If you have a camera, take a photograph of the wound. Make sure the incident gets documented. When you get home, have your parents call the police and report that you were assaulted at school. When the officer asks if you want to press charges, say "yes."
Another idea if evidence is what you need to help you, use your phone or other device to record when he starts bullying you. School is not a court of law. You don't need to have both parties aware they are being recorded. And in some states (if you are in the USA) one person is all you need to know even for court.
Wow, now those are some really terrible ideas. Contrary to popular belief, school is NOT a prison system where you have to fend for yourself. There are people to go to for this kind of problem (as in, they get paid to sort out these problems) and these people would be your teachers, your guidance counselor and various administrative staff, namely the principal and vice-principal (who usually has the title of "disciplinarian", see what I'm getting at?) My point is, there are people who can solve this problem quickly and easily, you just need to talk to them. So your teacher didn't do anything about it eh? Then just go over his/her head and talk to a counselor or either the principal or vice-principal. Tell them the situation and ask if there is anything they can do, even if it just comes down to switching your seat in class so he won't be right next to you. Tell them he is disrupting your learning environment, harassing you and even physically assaulting you. Tell them that if they do not do something to rectify the situation that you will get your parents involved. If they don't take you seriously (which is hard to believe, given the fact that bullying has become such a hot-button issue nowadays) then make good on what you said and get your parents involved. Tell your parents about the situation and have them arrange a meeting with the principal and the teacher who teaches the class that this is happening in. Trust me, when your parents ask the principal why their teacher is allowing bullying to go on in his/her classroom, the problem will probably get solved ASAP. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't just ask the teacher once to do something about it and give up. Keep complaining about it until they fix the issue. And don't listen to the above ideas, trying to solve this yourself like that will only escalate the situation and make things worse by either getting yourself hurt or getting yourself into trouble. Instead, just do like I told you and go talk to the right people who have the power to fix the problem. Simple as that.
After class, show him you mean business. Tell him you're tired of his crap straight up, and say it like you mean it. Basically, show strength without stooping to his level. Also talk to a few friends so that they can back you up. If you have an entire group of friends on your side, you are far less likely to run into trouble. Good luck.
I'm with Frost on this. This should cover it since bullying is taken WAY more seriously these days. It's not a guarantee but, worst comes to worst, you may have to break his damn nose... but that's just a last resort.
Perhaps my advice was a little overboard... Still, if all else fails, sometimes you have to take extreme measures.
Basically what Frost said. The other advice given (except Dragon's which could help as evidence to put a greater punishment onto the bully) is a good way to get your teeth knocked out and is just dumb. I've been a bully target throughout my high school years. I couldn't fight or handle physical confrontation myself so that was always out of the picture for me, and in general, that's not the way to go. The only time you ever would risk harm to yourself is to defend yourself in a last resort situation. This is not the case here. You have lots of avenues for help. Your right to a decent and safe educational environment is NOT your battle or responsibility or burden. It is the school's administrative and disciplinary staff's responsibilities to ensure that for you. It is of course your choice to seek such help however, which I entirely would recommend. It's the safest and most effective method; and if the school does not uphold that, they're completely open to legal action and repercussions against them in the event they do not provide you with the help that you as a student, and your parents as taxpayers for that school, deserve, require and expect. Don't fight it by yourself.
You directly stand up to the guy. Look him directly in the eye (stand up if you must). Tell him as politely as possible to piss off or you'll screw his head off. (NOTE: Politely, so you are not perceived as the villian). Be assertive when you tell him so, and completely confident. Trust me. When he sees you, he's going to think twice before doing anything to you. In the event he does stab you with the pencil again, raise your hand and tell your teacher that you must move away from him. Demand it. Apparently, your teacher is not taking it seriously enough, so be serious. If the teacher still doesn't take it serious, try to move to another seat yourself, or better yet...take it to the dean. Take action. Don't expect others to help you; you have to take initiative. People are cowards these days, because one little incident leads to authorities getting involved, and a huge mess. Trust me, the bully doesn't want to see the police in your school just as badly as you, so he does everything in his power to "get away" with as much as he can. When you show him you're not going to put up with it, he will back off. I know this from personal experience.
