The kid in my Gym class is just mean. Whenever he would be talking, I'd be looking in his direction and he would say, "Shut the (profanity) up", when I never said anything, and another time we were doing those Karaoke feet things as fast as we could, and I was doing it really fast but maybe not perfect or something, because he said to me, "Yo, (mylastname), what the hell was that?" And finally, when we were doing the standing long jump, which I got 7'10" on, he had gotten 8'2" or something, which wouldn't have bothered me if he hadn't just stood there saying "Haha, I did better than you", so I just said "(profanity) you.", and that's all so far. And I try to be on the other side of the gym when possible, or at least somewhere where he isn't, but he always inevitably ends up close enough to me to say something mean. I want to talk to my counselor about it, but I'm not good at one-on-one talking, so I have to either get his advice, or "you guys's".
So, here's a list of things I figured I could do, you can suggest other things:
-Tell him that he is really bothering me, and I would appreciate it if he would leave me alone. (Problem: he could make it into a big joke about me being all touchy-feely)
-push him against a wall and tell him to stay away from me, because my life is already a living (profanity?) and he's not helping. (Problem: I could get in trouble, and it's a little violent.)
-fight him. (Problem: 1, big trouble, 2, I'm a pacifist)
-Ignore him. (Problem: It has been proven impossible)
-Play an elaborate and anonymous prank that will make him get annoyed but not hurt or be something down to his level. (Problem: I'd need to follow him for more info-"locker no., etc.", and that would mean being near him more than usual, and I'd also need an elaborate but Anonymous prank.)
I'd prefer to either tell him how much he bothers me, but that probably won't work, or to play an elaborate prank, but the only way that would make him leave me alone would be to put typed notes into his locker every day with quotes suggesting to be nicer to fellow students and people he usually isn't nice to. Please send me help!
Everything is as smooth as sandpaper pajamas.
