Help with kids at the bus stop

Saplingsys 10/24/2022 05:10 am 221

I'm in highschool and my bus stop in the afternoon (where I get off to go home) is right next to an elementary school, and the kids there get off at about the same time. There's this 4-5th grader (and sometimes his friends) that constantly run up to me and call me emo and an "it" or just misgenders me even after I correct him. It's getting really annoying. What's something I can say to him that might get him to stop that doesn't sound too mean since I'm so much older than him?

I think you could like just ignore him or alternatively tell him to fuck off, it’s not like he’s gonna tell on someone

I had this happen to me and all I did was agree with them. it makes it boring so eventually they stopped doing it. If they say something stupid like "brooo are you emoo" just say "yeah." Just try your best to have no reaction to anything they say. Also if they do start getting physical with you or try to get up in your space just grab their arm and maybe shake them up a bit, don't grab so hard that it hurts but just enough to scare them a little- also if you do this be careful cus parents could get involved. And also you can record them if you want to find a way to show their parents, it's not illegal or anything since it's in a public space apparently (not sure ab that but that's what my school told me when this happened to me lol)

u should be mean tbh, i've been in a similar situation and being nice doesnt work so u gotta be mean to get them to leave u alone. For me I just treated them how they treated me (but a bit harsher bc i kinda had enough of them lol) and eventually they got tired of it and left me alone so that may work for u

just. Be mean. At this point it’s like a fourth grader so just straight up scare him. He can’t really do anything

punch em /j

srsly tho, if you can just swear at them a bit and it should scare them off. i mean they’re annoying little kids, and if they’re gonna be dickheads be a dickhead back lmao, they’re not gonna learn a lesson any other way, those types of kids just don’t. if you don’t have the confidence/don’t wanna risk making a child cry, the only thing i can think of is just to blast music or maybe bring it up with ur parents and see if they could do something? idk if they could but ik if someone was doing that to me or my sister my mum would be willing to fight a kid over it lmao

honestly if it waz me i would just be mean. theyre obviously being maliciouz towardz you so whatz the point of being nice when theyre being azzholez? i would juzt blast music in your earz & ignore them, they'll give up eventually becauze you can't bully someone if they ignore you the entire time, thatz just embarrassing 4 them
