Dear Dr. M and Liz,
There's this girl in my class and she keeps on pulling my hair, cheating off my tests, and just telling people lies about me. When I tell the teacher, she won't believe me.

Dear Jennifer,
You were right to try to talk to someone about what the girl in your class is doing, but if your teacher won't believe you, try talking to someone else about it, maybe one of your friends or a friend of the girl. They've probably seen what she's been doing to you firsthand and can let the girl know what they've seen. They can tell her to stop bothering you. If you're brave enough, you can even talk to the girl yourself. If these friendlier methods don't work, ask your parent to talk to your teacher or the girl's parent. Sometimes, adults will listen to another adult when they won't listen to a kid. |
