Being bullied by a kid younger than me for no reason and asking for advice on how to make him stop.
I'm being bullied by a kid younger than me for no reason and I'm asking for advice on how to make him stop. I am in 8th grade, about to graduate obviously, and there is this one 7th grader that won't stop bullying me. I have done nothing at all to him and I've barely even spoken any words to him (which none were hurtful or derogatory). For example, yesterday during lunch, I was just sitting at my lunch spot peacefully doing nothing at all and minding my own business with my friends, and he walks over and starts throwing a volleyball at me. He threw the volleyball at my lunch box, my water bottle, my back, and at my head. I just stood up and walked away. I was going to wait until Monday to see if he would go any further with bullying me before I talked to my school's counselor. I regret waiting and I should've just told her about the situation yesterday. I am looking for advice on how to deal with this bully and if there is any way I can make him stop. I have verbally told him to stop and the next time he bullies me I am planning on asking, "Why would you say that to me/do that to me?" to try to make him feel bad and embarrassed, but I need more advice on how to stop him.
Thank you in advance.
