I have been through a lot in life too, which helps me to be able to empathize with situations, thoughts and feelings that we have. Sometimes, it's not easy just being human.

For many people, college is the time where they really get the chance to meet people of different backgrounds, and learn to live and interact with them. Living and interacting with people who may be very different from us in terms of culture, interest, orientation etc. can sometimes be a challenge, and while most people overcome this challenge by understanding, tolerating, and accepting each other and the differences, some people resort to rejecting and ridiculing, and even attacking other students just because they are different, hence the bullying. That said, bullying is a serious issue that needs to be given attention to. If possible, I hope that you can go to the college administrator, or counsellor, or at least someone you trust and know who cares for you, to tell them what you have been experiencing. One more thing, maybe some of the bullies would try to make it like if you seek help from others, you are a coward, or something like that. Please do not believe them or buy into this lie. I want to tell you that you are brave for willing to voice out and do something about how they are treating you.

Is it possible for you to make a report on them. Remember they are only bullying you because they feel threatened by you. Don't feel discourage and do not let them get to you, cause thats what they want..You are much more then you think you are, you just have to believe it and not let anyone take that away from you..

Hello! Happy to help you. I am glad that you are courageous enough to speak out your traumas. See college days are the best part in everyones life. Believe me, yours will be a superb one too. Just be patient. College is a transforming period. We deal a lot. Do not take the bulleys seriously unless they are lifetaking. I know you can keep them away and continue with your studies. But my dear if you ever feel that it threatens your life talk about it to your parents and also us. We shall help you. Promise. To the best of our capability.
The first step is realizing your own self worth. If they are spending their time bullying you, they must be unhappy in their own right. Take time to build your own self esteem and realize that nothing they say or do is a reflection of who you are. Once you are able to shrug off whatever they say, they'll move on to someone else. However, if the bullying gets severe, contact a higher up and see if they can do something about it. Of course, support is always here on 7 cups if you need it, I hope your problems are able to find resolve
