I'm having a meltdown right now because of people at school treating me in a bad way. First there were two people coming to a place me and my friends sat in during lunch time and told us to move because its 'their place' so we moved because they didn't go and after they sat there for some few minutes they moved, it really annoyed me so much. Then some weeks later we sat again in the same place so they came again on that day and told us to move for them some place while there was no place for more people or to move from this place but we didn't, we ignored them and didn't look at them so one of those two started telling me "hey you, I don't what your name, [some name similar to my name]" then I told them its not their place and that theres no place for them then one of them came and sat between me and my friend so my friend moved and came to sit in front of me down, that person said thank you to my friend and smiled to my other friend but I don't why was so mean to me. So then the next day that person asked my little sibiling who waits for me everyday after school if I said something about a fight or something but my sibiling said no, this person really irritates, the first that two people came to move us the person knew my name but this time they're trying to act like they're cool not remembering others names
And now in these days the class called me and my friends to be with them but they're only being mean to us, one of my classmates takes papers and things from me or sometimes my water without asking and got angry at me when I was talking about anime and said it was annoying a long, another person also said that, although the rest of the class are ok with me but the one who takes my things and is mean to me is the one who caused me my current meltdown, I also once heard this same person making fun of my name and my father's name
What do you do in situations like this?? I tried ignoring but I can't

that sucks. :( school and the people there would make me have meltdowns all the time. i'm not sure what you can really do about it though. personally i would always just try to ignore them, which only works sometimes. and it seems they are going out of their way to mess with you. i would hide in either the library or bathroom sometimes when things got too much. maybe they will get bored and leave you alone, but in my experience that can take a long time, and in the case of one of my bullies, he never got tired of it. even bullied me at my job after we graduated! but i think that is a more extreme situation, sorry for the doom and gloom.


i'm sure somebody here who is older maybe will be able to give you better advice, but hang in there. :bounce: venting helps a bit but i know you'd rather just not have it happen at all. about the person taking paper and things from you, is that during class time? could you talk to a teacher? or could you go to a councilor? sometimes they can help.

Thanks:) I will try to hide in the library or bathroom I think its a good idea I used to do it when I was younger, yes that person takes things from me during class, I don't think a teacher or a councilor would help. And I do ignore those people but they don't seem to care if you ignore them or no, they just want to bully, I always ignored them but this still happens

I think there are different rules, which tend to be true, most of the time, depending on the place and the people. Could I ask you to be more specific, in describing where this is happening, and who are the people? I apologize if this seems indiscreet.

School is cruel and teachers don't help. They are honestly too absorbed into their own lives for the most part.

My school (New England schools are apparently weird, as teachers are called by first names :roll:) lets us eat in the hallway, so my friends are mostly punks and nerds who hide near the backdoor during lunch and play computer games. If you are in the cafeteria, try and find a place to nest, then move if you have to.

I depends on the nature of your meltdowns. My meltdowns (and I have not had one in about 6 months now) tend to be very verbal and VERY loud. They are so loud that I have often been known to clear out all the people in my entire apartment building who become terrified by the sound of it. It also makes me so hoarse that I have difficulty speaking for several days afterwards. If you had one of my meltdowns in a library or bathroom, somebody would probably call security. Try the ball field where it is expected if you can put up with all the jocks or if you have a car get inside and yell at the world with the windows rolled up. I do that when driving down the road to let off my frustrations.

It is happening in school
The people who let me move from my sitting place aren't from my class I only have 1 class with them once a week
The ones from my class is the one who takes my things

I was thinking of a place they never go near to during break I don't know how to explain good but this place is hidden, it's between the main building and one other building

My meltdowns are usually quiet; I don't make any voice while having a meltdown (I get tears and sometimes hit my head with something during meltdowns). So if I get a meltdown at school I can pretend to be sleeping in class or go to the bathroom sometimes and if when sometimes I hit my head I usually do it in the bathroom or if in class I hit my head with the table but I do it in a slow way which is unnoticeable

That almost sounds like what I refer to as a "shutdown" in which our frustrations are internalized. Those are so self-destructive and provide no relief from the built up frustrations without which we will eventually explode (like Adam Lanza perhaps?). Parents who want to stop, control or limit meltdowns out of consideration for their own embarrassment or inconvenience always fail to understand that. A meltdown is a constructive thing.

Thanks:) I think I have a shutdown from what you described and what I searched
