Sorry you are being bullied. Kids can be mean. Rather than show compassion and help they lash out. It is really sad to see.
Kids do get less mean as they get older but finding friends to hang with or just staying away from bullies can be a help. Here are some articles that discuss dealing with bullies. Psych Central - Search results for How to deal with bullying Get a digital watch.

I had a digital watch for years, but people would laugh at me because I couldn't say the time right. I'd read it digitally. So the time was 'three oh five' instead of 'five past three'.
I got a time teacher watch like this: https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=ti...%3B1000%3B1000 Mine was a bit simpler... The right side was blue and had 'past' on it and the left side was red and had 'to' on it. Then... To read the time you see what number the big hand is pointing to... If it is pointing to 1 then next to 1 is 10 so you say '10' and it is in the right / blue / past side so you say 'past' and then you read the little hand... If that makes sense... I had that watch until... I finished high school, I think. Now I have a baby G shock digital... But I can convert that into the proper speech if people ask me the time... But if I don't... People don't laugh at me for that, anymore. Though... I think people do have a bit of a chuckle at seeing me counting on my fingers to figure out what time the exercise classes start at the gym (since they put them on the wall in 24 hour clock format so i need to count on my fingers to help me work out that 13 is 1 and 14 is 2...) People... Sometimes people are mean... If it isn't one thing it is another... What do your teachers / parents say about the time thing, though? Last edited by kim_johnson; Feb 14, 2015 at 08:41 PM. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
