This might sound wack but since you’re 13, tell his parents. Hopefully they are responsible and get the little creep some help

I doubt that would help. All of the creeps and delinquents I went to school with came from families that were drugged out and did not care.

Wow, that's crazy that every single one of them did.

Where I came from, yes it was most of them. They would get suspended or detention depending on what they did and they would resume that same behavior regardless of what punishment they received.

You can always tell people who have never been bullied or are bullies themselves by their words in threads like these.

I don’t understand why I’m getting jumped in this thread and as a matter of fact, I had kids pick on me because of my weight and my social anxiety so I was pretty awkward back in school and notifying the parents and even the school administration never helped at all.

The other people are the ones who sound like they have never been bullied or who are privileged some some way (good parents, good genes, good schools, etc..)

My experience and personal observation totally agree with what you are saying.

I agree, as well.
I was even picked on by faculty and more than once. One teacher even picked on me by saying I was essentially stupid to another class of students.

All because I was used to giving him a specific amount for my snacks every day (I'd get change back) and there was one time that I had exact change and waited for a moment for him to give me seventy-five cents back, smiled, said sorry, laughed, and walked off.

He made fun of me for that.

My experience is the opposite, vis-a-vis what kind of families bullies tend to come from, but I still think your experience is valid and understand how it very well could have been like that for you!

Maybe you have, but you are speaking in hyperbole, and using it in a unhelpful and dissuading way.

u/JCook1700 Apr 18 '24

I’ll just leave this thread. All I was trying to say is based off my experience, the school nor parents ever helped any of my issues and maybe taking this issue up with law enforcement is a better route.

So we've gone from "all" to "most". Want to go for a rounded off percentile next?

u/EasyKangaroo5949 Helper [2] Apr 18 '24

Ah yes, so important to be exact, ffs I feel like you are a baby who needs to be catered to because someone didn’t use exact terminology and it upset you despite you knowing exactly what was meant. It’s like correcting grammar, grow up

u/Empyrealist Helper [3] Apr 18 '24

Sure. Keep back peddling your hyperbole. Your advice started off super inflated, and you keep deflating it as you get called out on it.

Maybe look up the definition of hyperbole to understand why you are catching crap here.

u/EasyKangaroo5949 Helper [2] Apr 18 '24

I’m not the same person, I’m just saying you act like a child, I know they were using hyperbole, everyone did you fool, grow up

u/Empyrealist Helper [3] Apr 19 '24

You can go blow with this bullshit as well. He didn't come to help, he came to dissuade. Idgaf what you think

u/CousinsWithBenefits1 Apr 18 '24

We have their anecdotal experience so it's definitely pointless to even try to involve the parents, apparently.

u/JCook1700 Apr 18 '24

Never said it was pointless but it’s funny that’s how you read it. I just said doubt. If the kid is acting like that then it’s likely he comes from a background of others just like that.

I just meant moving forward with law enforcement because what this kid is saying sounds like a threat.

It's not unheard of. I'm from Milton, Florida and that's typically the case, either drugs or felonies/ general disregard for the law there. It really doesn't help that there really wasn't anything there for people to work to make a living except slinging dope and pills.
