  1. I’m being bullied and comebacks have made things worse … AND the bullies heard me say I was going to tell a teacher so they got there first and made it out to be that I was the bully…. now I am in trouble even though I told the truth and didn’t deney any actuall facts …. what do I even do?

    1. Hi Ally,

      I think you need to tell your parents what has been going on, the full story. I think you need your family to be an advocate for you and talk to the teacher and explain the other kids were actually bullying you.

      Don’t use any more comebacks if it is making your situation worse.

      I know you feel terrible right now, but this is a moment in time. Things will get better for you. Ask your parents for help and guidance.
