School

Hi Con,

It's good to know you have plenty of friends but I'm really sorry that doesn't stop you being teased. 

First thing I'd just say is that users do need to be 16 to use the Community. If you're younger than this then we're happy for this discussion to carry on but you shouldn't start other discussions until you're older. We're sorry about thay but it's something we can't change right now. 

If you are under 16 let us know and we can suggest other places you can go for help. If you're older than 16, sorry for bringing this up. 

There's a section on our website about bullying that you may find helpful. It includes information on how to stop problems and all the different things that may be considered bullying. Please take a look to see how it helps:

You may also want to contact our helpline services to see how they can help you. It might be that talking on the telephone can really help you express how you are feeling. Maybe take a look at the services we offer and see if you think any could help:

If you'd like support for other young people to deal with issues around bullying then take a look at CyberMentors. A project started by BeatBullying, they aim to help young people deal with bullying together. Here's the page describing the service:

I hope some of that helps Con, teasing and bullying can be very upsetting and no one should have to experience it.
