Help?
Ok, I'm going to keep this short as I have a lesson in about 5mins...
...but basically, I'm getting picked on...bad
There's this group I sit with....for no other reason than they're the only people I know...and they are absolutley vile.
They steal my stuff and demand that I tell them things like my house phone number so they can prank call it...otherwise I won't get my work back and I'll get in trouble.
Today it's the absolute end, they've started ripping my work up and then they're all "Why do you sit here when nobody likes you"and the truth is, because I have no friends here. I hate this school and I wish I could just leave already
I know what you're thinking..."tell a teacher, tell your parents"
Well I've tried both of those things. I told my mum when it first started and she went mental and called the head of my year.
Well, the head of year did absolutley nothing, and she just thinks I'm immature and make a fuss over nothing so she never pays any attention to me.
I'm just getting really fed up with all of this. I don't know what to do. They throw stuff at me, steal my stuff, call me names, get me in trouble, ruin my life and I have no clue why.
I hate them. ..and I know that hate's a strong word but it's true.

Start hanging out with someone else. And I agree with schooldropout, tell a teacher you trust.
And even if you don't know anyone else, just find somewhere nice and sit there during lunch/recess with your music or something.
It's truly horrible for them to do that to you. Nobody deserves to be picked on.

OH MY f*ckING GOD!
I had the same f*cking thing happen to me in 8th grade. It really sucked. Same situation (no real friends in my lunch period). They would be nice to me for a day, and then the rest of the f*ckin week torture me. There was a leader and all his lame-ass faithfull followers. No matter what stupied imature degrating joke he had for me, they ALWAYS laughed. He made fun of the way I walked, breathed, sat down, and basicly everything you can think of. Worst lunch period of my life. I'll even admit that this leader (f*ckface) made me cry twice during school. I came home and cryed to my mom once a week. I don't know why I didnt move to somewhere with at least nobody rather then them, and I sorta understand why you cant. Its not that easy.
In the end, I got through it, and I think you can too. Strangly enough I'm close friends with his followers now, they're really not bad, just influenced so much (it took more then an "I'm sorry" for me to just forgive them). Now even when their former leader is around they're not asswipes liek they were. So I think there may be a leader of them involved with your story too. Thats the one you should try and tell on if anything. If you can, you'll defintly prove yourself a stronger person then me.

I'd just leave all my stuff at home and refuse to do anything, since they do nothing in return.
But that's just me.
Try talking to a teacher or something?

OMG hun, my daughter went through exactly the same type of thing you are going through, constant bullying. No one at school seemed to want to do anything about it and she eventually snapped and did something back to one of the kids =/
She got kicked out of school for that, but at the hearing it became apparent the principal was never informed of anything going on at the school. Bottom line is you have the fundamental right to go to school and receive an education without your civil rights being abused. You can not let this go on this way. Get your mum back on the case, if the teachers do nothing go above them until you have to lay a complaint directly with the principal. Failing that lodge an official complaint with your equivalent of the Ministry of Education. The school is obliged by law to protect you whilst in their care.
TBH I was appalled at the teachers attitudes at my daughters school "if you want to be different you have to expect it", such an archaic attitude and one that has no place in today's society.
Another option is a youth advocate lawyer, those guys deal to schools in a big way, forcing them into changing practice of behaviour at schools.

Instead of going to your head of year, go to a teacher that you really trust. it might help.
It's not a little thing, it's a big thing. Being picked on by people who constantly try and get you into trouble is wrong, I mean would they like it?

Oh love :[
Maybe you could sit with someone else and get to know them etc. Maybe someone you sit next to in class or something.
And tell your head of year again, yourself, one break time or lunch time.
It has to be sorted and if it's not being sorted by them, ask your mum to ring the headmaster as it's not a little thing, it's horrible of them and you don't deserve that :[
