But, speak to a member of staff about it first and see if they can help.

I agree with Lee about complaining your being targeted...

Hope you get it sorted soon Davie...Least you have mates to stand up for you...The world is populated with bell ends like your tormenter

(07 Oct 2015, 6:37 pm)Davie wrote He is a chav, he thinks he the best at everything and he's a prick.
Thanks for the advice.


I don't think any one actually likes the kid who bullies me, whenever I see him he is usually by himself.

(07 Oct 2015, 6:42 pm)MrFozz wrote Oh well, at least if no one likes him, you have all the support you need behind you

(07 Oct 2015, 8:16 pm)BusLoverMum wrote The guy's to be pitied, really, isn't he, Davie? It is a known thing that the best revenge is living well. You have a hobby you love and have some good mates with their heads screwed on right. Your tormentor is clearly not in a good place - alone and taking drugs. There's clearly a lot of crap going on in his head. Talking to someone at college (do you have mentors or tutors or someone else to approach for pastoral matters?) as well as making them aware of how uncomfortable he's making you might flag up that he's struggling and needs some support.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, tonight. Littl'un, who at 9 1/2 isn't actually that little, does not understand that I can't pick him up, anymore (I haven't been able to for about 3 years). He tried to shin up me, earlier, when Husband finally got home. I'm not sure what came off worse - me or the storage box with a hinged lit that I landed in. The hinge is no more. I have a grazed arm, sore knee, bruised backside and even my fingertips are feeling tender! I think I might be limping to my re-scheduled eye test, tomorrow!

Your final point is perhaps the most important. Because to get and maintain an active membership, we need flowing discussion and positive contributions. On top of that though, I'll always encourage positive debate, because I think it's important we get a range of views on a particular topic, right across the spectrum.

(08 Oct 2015, 2:34 pm)Andreos1 wrote And I think that point, is possibly where the forum is going wrong.
Granted the flowing debate isn't for everyone. But I think we ALL (going back to my point about everyone taking responsibility), need to hold our hands up and say as individuals; we have stifled debate, not encouraged debate, held back from debate or not given a toss about debate.

(08 Oct 2015, 3:04 pm)Dan wrote I don't entirely agree with you.

By and large; I feel that we have encouraged debate, but there have been a number of instances now whereby the nature of a 'debate' has actually caused negativity on the forum and, in my opinion, has been the result of others holding back from the debate, as they'd prefer not to get involved in what has become renowned for being a slagging match. These contributions aren't positive, and won't help the growth and survival of the forum in the slightest.#

I also feel that some members of the forum attempt to get involved in a debate, but their lack of knowledge and/or experience quite often results in brash and unfounded statements being made, which can get other members' backs up. Perhaps this is all to be expected, given that quite a number of the forum's members are barely into their teens yet? I'm all for debate, but I think it has to be moderated carefully to ensure that all comments being made are appropriate.

(09 Oct 2015, 8:27 pm)Jimmi wrote I certainly know what it's like to be ignored, in my first year on my course at college I was ignored except when someone wanted to take the mick out of me, probably because I never said anything in the whole year mainly because I just didn't fit in and I knew nobody and I hated most of them.
