So uh

The past 6 weeks, a group of freshmen boys have been targeting me, mainly for my "academic excellence", "intelligence", and mainly the effort I put into homework, assignments, and classes.

Their behavior have ranged from just distracting me in class when I'm trying to work, stealing my water bottle/various essential supplies when I'm not looking and trying to destroy it/make me lose it by dumping it into the trash, just mocking me in general, and then crowding me in some area.

Today I was doing my homework near the lunch area, because I had to listen to academic videos and I don't have headphones or something of the like. Before I knew it they were just kind of surrounding me and they were poking and insulting me. I took all my stuff and left, but it was enough to make me feel threatened because of their numbers and their overall, average size. I don't know...the place was kind of isolated in a way, and my school really seems to like fights? If it came to it, I'm sure no one (except the teachers/faculty) would help me if they tried fighting me, or beating me up.

I feel threatened? I'm usually a target of bullying. It was a bit better in middle school, but apparently it's starting up again 9th grade. But even if I tell the teachers right now, because they haven't actually physically acted, it supposedly doesn't count as bullying. So telling a teacher won't help, and one of the teachers has already tried to help the situation. Obviously, it hasn't.

So I guess I'm on my own. My mom's got my back, of course, but the staff at school can't do anything about it. They even let a fight on the bus last week just slide like it was nothing, so...

Anyways, being pessimistic here, I'm ready if they try to fight me. I won't hold back if they do try, I can tell that...

A heads up, I guess, if I come back someday (or some days) really mad because of them, or maybe come back from a fight and probable suspension, something like that.
