Two classmates always laugh at me and tell others that I'm disgusting. What can I do?
I have two girls in my class who constantly laugh at me and tell others that they shouldn't use my things because I'm disgusting.
Nobody in my class likes the two girls because they are always cheeky and loud, but their words hurt me a lot because I have big problems with my self-confidence and really invest a lot of time in looking well-groomed.
My best friend gets along well with them, and they've also asked her how she can be friends with her. They even tell people from vocational school who have nothing to do with me.
What can I do and how can I deal with this? This is my second year of apprenticeship (I'm doing a school-based apprenticeship), and it was the same last year.

Hello Anastasia,
I'm sorry you're suffering from bullying! It can turn your life upside down and rob you of your self-esteem. Unfortunately, more and more young people and adults are affected by bullying. So you're not alone with your problem!
However, there is no reason to despair, because there is a lot of help available to you.
If you haven't yet turned to your parents, this would be a first and important step (unless there are compelling reasons not to). Only if they know about the bullying can they help and support you.
Where else can you find help? Here's one place to start:
Number against Grief: The "Number against Grief" is a free and anonymous counseling hotline for children, young people, and parents. You can contact trained counselors by phone or chat to discuss your experiences with bullying and receive support. Website: http://www.nummergegenkummer.de , Phone: 116 111 (for children and young people), Phone: 0800 111 0 550 (for parents).
Another step against bullying could be to recognize that the bullying isn't your fault. Bullying is a sign of the perpetrators' insecurity and weakness and has nothing to do with your worth as a person. And as I said, you are not alone – there are people who want and can help you!
It's also important to seek support from trusted people. As mentioned, this could be your parents, mature friends, teachers, or counselors. Share what you're going through and let them know you need support. Together, you can develop a plan to address the bullying and strengthen yourself emotionally.
Here's another tip: Keep a diary of incidents of bullying. Note the dates, the people involved, and a description of what happened. This documentation can serve as evidence if you decide to take action later. It's important to have evidence to support your story.
It's also important to build a strong support network. What does that mean? Find like-minded people or other young people who have had similar experiences and join them. Together, you can encourage and strengthen each other, and share tips on how to deal with the bullying.
If you believe in God, I'd like to draw your attention to a Bible passage that can give you help and comfort. Here it is:
The text shows how important it is for a believer to turn to God with confidence and trust with their problems and worries. And you can be sure: He listens!
I sincerely hope that, with the help of others, you'll be able to stop the bullying and return to school without worry! And please remember that you may still need support even after the bullying has stopped. This could be the case, for example, if you're feeling sad or have developed self-doubt. All the best and lots of strength!

Thank you for the star! 🙂

You can't help it. These are stupid girls who are victims of puberty. The only thing you can do is go to the teacher with witnesses and demand help. This includes demanding a parent-teacher meeting. No parents like to hear that their child is responsible for bullying.
Sounds bad, but is often the only way.
Unfortunately, it's bullying. At the training company, contact the trainer/works council of the training company AND the teacher/principal at the vocational school at the same time.
Talk to your doctor and hotline about what this is doing to you. Ask everyone for prompt professional help because you can't solve it on your own.
To avoid everything, demand rapid relief, at school they probably know contacts that can take effect quickly

I always think that this kind of thing says so much more about the gossiping people than about me. Don't take it too personally; it usually has something to do with their self-esteem, and they were probably just raised badly. It would only bother me if my "best friend" liked them anyway instead of supporting me.
It's no use beating them with "equal means." They wouldn't even realize what words can do.
The best thing is to know something about them and use that.
