I’ve reported verbal and physical bullying to my school multiple times, but they say they can’t do anything without proof or witnesses. It’s really messing with my studies and mental health. They keep ignoring it. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any suggestions?
That sounds awful. Have you started keeping a record of what’s been happening? It might help back up your case.

Yeah, I’m writing things down now. Not sure how much it’ll help, though.

Even if there’s no witness, detailed notes can make a big difference.
Have you tried going to a counselor? They might have more pull with the school admin.

I haven’t yet, but that’s a good idea. I’ll check if my school has one.

Counselors can be super helpful. They’re there for this kind of thing.
If nothing changes, maybe take it higher. Like write to the head of student affairs or someone above your school admin.

I was thinking about that, but I’m worried they’ll just ignore me again.

You’ve got nothing to lose by trying. Sometimes going higher up actually works.
You could also report this to an outside agency. Some countries have education ombudsmen who handle this stuff.

Ombudsman? Never heard of that. How does it work?

It’s like an external authority that oversees schools. Search for one in your area—they might help.
This kind of thing is so stressful. Make sure to talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling.

Thanks, I’ve been keeping it to myself mostly. I’ll try to reach out to someone.

Yeah, don’t go through this alone. Talking it out can help a lot.
