TROUBLE-MAKER AT SCHOOL

Dear Jellybean,

K, this is not just my problem. There is this kid at school, he is really rude, immature, a trouble maker, and well slow. He constantly makes fun of anyone who is not the most popular in the school. Even his best friend!! He'll always find some kinda way to make fun of someone. He says I have a moustache of zits! It's soo annoying, cuz no one else seems to notice till they hear him say that. He keeps makeing fun of kids cuz all the popular girls in my class always laugh when he says something mean to someone else! They're my friends, but it's like "hello honey! it's not funny anymore!" I try to tell my teacher, but he's slow intelligently, so she thinks I'm just makeing fun of him! Help me deal w/this PLEZ!!!!
Luv always and forever,
Annoyed

Dear Annoyed,

If your teacher won’t listen to you when you complain alone, get a couple of other kids who are bothered by this guy (I’m sure there are at least a few) and go to the teacher together. Explain to her that you’re not picking on him, that just the opposite is true. He’s picking on all of you and making school a less than pleasant place to be. If your teacher still refuses to help, talk to your parents and let them know that your teacher is refusing to fix a situation in class, even though you and your friends asked. Hopefully this will bother your parents enough that they will call the school and talk to your teacher for you. Good luck. And in the meantime, next time this guy says something mean to you about zits, say to him loud enough for everyone to hear, "I’ll probably grow out of my zits, but you’ll be stupid forever."
