I study at an high school that accepts students based on middle school GPA, so the school environment isn’t really great. My classroom environment is like that too. I’m 16(f), and compared to most of my classmates, my grades and exam scores are much better. For example, out of 100, I get around 95 net on practice exams, they get around 40. That’s the kind of environment I’m in. And before you think I’m egoistical about it, no. I’m not. I swear I don’t care.

Because of this, some people behind my back say things like, “She’s antisocial,” “Her mental health is messed up from studying too much,” and similar things. (But I do have friends, actually lots of. I don’t know why do they say that.) They send follow requests to my social media accounts from fake accounts and keep making fun of me. I guess it’s some kind of bullying, not sure

There’s also a group of girls who sit near the window, and when I’m doing speaking exams, they whisper to each other and giggle, a lot.

I’ve always been polite to them. When they asked for homework or notes, I helped them. And when I thought I had been rude, I even apologized. But they made fun of that too.

I do have my own friends, but I still wonder: when I haven’t really done anything wrong, why do they act like this?

Sorry this got a little long.

I honestly don’t know what I should do. I don’t even know whether I should care about it or ignore it.

If you were in my place, what kind of attitude would you have?

OBP ile alan bir anadolu lisesinde okuyorum, dolayısıyla okul ortamım pek iyi değil. Sınıf ortamım da öyle. 16 yaşındayım, ve netlerim ve derslerim diğer arkadaşlarıma göre daha iyi. Örneğin ben denemelerden 95 net yaparken onlar 40 yapıyor, öyle bir ortamdayım. Bu
bahsettiğim durumdan ötürü arkadaşlarım arkamdan bana karşın “Asosyal, psikolojisi bozuk, ders çalışmaktan psikolojisi bozulmuş.” gibi şeyler söylüyorlar, benim sosyal medya hesaplarıma sahte hesaplardan istek atıyorlar ve dalga geçip duruyorlar. Sanırım zorbalık gibi bir şey. Cam kenarında bir kız grubu var, ben konuşma sınavındayken kıkırdayıp, fısıldaşıp duruyorlar. Ben nazik davrandım, her zaman. Ödev istediler, not istediler yardımcı oldum. Kaba olduğumu düşündüğüm zaman özür de diledim. Ancak bununla da dalga geçtiler. Kendi arkadaşlarım da var, var ama merak ediyorum. Bir problemim yokken neden böyle davranıyorlar?

Uzun oldu, kusura bakmayın

Ne yapmam gerektiğini bilmiyorum. Takıp takmamam gerektiğini de bilmiyorum.

siz olsaydınız nasıl bir tutum sergilerdiniz?

The thing is, I’m recently subjected to bullying. Tomorrow, I’m going to have a chance to speak up and defend myself. But whenever I try to do that, I just cry. In general. I don’t want to cry while I’m talking and I’m not quite sure how to not to do that, so I need some advices about it. :”
