writes:At school I used to get along great with everyone until seventh grade. My cousin and another girl were new students and they seemed nice, but when they started hanging out together they started being mean to me and a couple other people. I couldn't handle all of the bullying they did to me and I was home schooled my eigth grade year(this year), but when I went to a dance with a friend at my old school, they were there and I was ready let all that stuff be in the past, but they came over to me and one of them yelled an insult at me. All I could do was sit there and get sad. I really want to go to high school, but I'm afraid they'll bother me there too. What can I do about this? I can't tell my cousin's mom because they're like twins and her mom would believe her over me any day. Telling teachers and the principle didn't help either.

 I disagree with the homeschooling, because, come on, is that even rational? But I agree with talking to your mom about it. It doesn't even have to be your mom, just tell someone you can trust. If that doesn't work, just try to confront your cousin and the other girl. If nothing else works, you should consider going to another school.

I was heavily bullied at high school, and my teachers would indulge it. It is a very bad situation and it can scar you for life, as it happened to me.
You should not get away from school. Contact with others is important, specially at your age. Bullies are in reality people who need reassurance by harassing others because they have little (if any) good qualities. You should talk to your parents, if your relationship with them is good. Unfortunately this might not be 100% effective, as you said. Changing school is another option if nothing else works.
Getting professional help might help too. Nowadays many child/teen psycologysts are specialized in cases of bullying. This might not stop them from bullying you, because the problem is not you: it's them, but it will help you deal with it in a non-destructive way.

 When being bullied the best thing to do is not to pay attention they'll soon get bored and move onto someone else if they don't stop before high school then tell them that you don't care what they say and that they are just being childish smile and walk away. It will be hard to stand up to them but you will feel so much better afterwards. Trust me i know as i have been bullied before aswell.

 you need to tell your mam and get her to sort this whole thing out
if notjimg else helps then you have to either be home schooled or go to a diffrent highschool
its unfair but you cant have a life with theese two people aeound and you cant call your cousin family if she is been this way
good luck!!!!!!!
