HE SAID SHE WAS PREGNANT

Dear Jellybean,

There is a new guy at my school that was telling people that I am pregnant (which I'm not). I talked to the teachers that I have classes with him and they all gave us new seats so I don't sit anywhere near him. One person that he told still bothers me about it. When I see him, he rubs his stomach or asks me if I'm feeling sick yet. What should I do?

Dear Confused,

How obnoxious. What you need to do is embarrass this guy, so he doesn't want to bring up the subject again. Next time he rubs his stomach, say to him loudly, "What's wrong, didn't your mommy make you breakfast this morning?" If he asks you if you're feeling sick yet, say at the top of your voice, "Who wouldn't be, looking at your face?"

The idea is to make him feel stupid, every time he brings up his ridiculous rumor. Plus, by getting in his face, you'll show him that he doesn't intimidate you, and you're not scared of him.

Good luck. If you follow this advice and he keeps harrassing you, report him again, but this time go to your school principal. Consider bringing one or both parents with you, too. You have a right to an education without being harrassed or bullied, and it's well within your rights to demand that.
