<p>Okay so I'm fairly sociable, I have a lot of friends at school and I'm not in the weird group or anything. For some reason at my club swim team I just never have the desire to speak or be friends with anyone there. Up until recently it's never been a problem, people just let me mind my own business. Well, I'm not the fastest person on the team (I'm among the slowest 3 of about 20) but I try really hard and again, nobody's seemed to care up until now. Well, there is this 13 year old boy on my team who's been really obnoxious and rude to me all time. Like he once passed me at the wall and screamed loser at me, and yells at me when he doesn't think I'm going fast enough. I don't even know how to respond to stuff like this. Most of the bullying/teasing type stuff a) didn't involve me b) was mostly in the form of gossip. This sounds really stupid and generic but how should I deal with this little creep?</p>
<p>Ask him nicely to stop, if he refuses then tell the school. If he still doesn't stop threaten to sue the school (it's probably too much of a hassle to actually do it though) for letting this go on. Also, make sure that the kid's parents are aware of it.</p>
<p>Well it's not my schools team, it's a club team. If I told the coach I'd feel like a stupid five-year-old tattle tale, but maybe that's what I'll have to resort to.</p>
<p>tell one of ur guy friends to go teach him a lesson... i promise you he'll never shout, scream, bug you again</p>
<p>Well you'll probably look like a tattle tale no matter how you handle it (unless you fight him lol). And if he's yelling at you in the hall, then I think you can tell the school because it's happening there.</p>
<p>Tell the coach to stop him before he gets the lesson of his life. And if he doesn't stop tell the coach that you are seriously going to beat the crap out of that kid if he doesn't stop bothering you.</p>
<p>quit being beta and fight him.</p>
<p>honestly, he's 13, just push him around a bit and he'll probably cry and stop.</p>
<p>oh yeah, you can also verbally abuse him</p>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, I'm a girl, I know my user name isn't exactly indicative of that, but I think it would be pretty awkward if a fifteen-year-old girl beat up a thirteen-year-old boy.</p>
<p>^My bad....Well, like Ivybound11 said, get one of your male friends to teach him a lesson</p>
<p>Maybe he likes you... :) </p>
<p>Anyway... um... tell him to stop, really, really seriously.</p>
<p>If he says something to you, tell him to shut the **** up. That's always a nice way to handle it.</p>

<p>Who cares if it's awkward? You can push him around and he can't do anything back. If he does, just tell one of your guy friends and he'll beat the **** out of the twerp.</p>
<p>he should be off the team; Actually, I would let the coach know this kid is doing this; he has mental issues and he needs an authority figure to put a stop to this. He probably does this to other people too.</p>
<p>It would be awkward for him, a lose-lose situation from the perspective of his social standing, so I'd suggest you keep the option of a physical confrontation open, especially if you can take him.</p>
<p>Before you resort to that, however, why not simply try civilly asking him to stop bothering you? Tell him you're quite annoyed with his shenanigans and that you would like to know his reason for them. Pretend that he's an adult and don't let him transform the conversation into an exchange of insults. Emphasize the maturity of both of the parties involved and see if you can resolve your differences amicably.</p>
<p>Swimming hmmmm? That means speedos doesn't it? This may sound bad, but if after the 'nicely talking to him' doesn't work, I'd suggest quietly catching him in a corner and telling him that being an ass doesn't make his package any bigger, it just makes him a bigger ass. I'd bet that will shut him up. 13 year old boys can be real testy creatures (pun intended ;-))</p>
<p>until you get harsh with him, he'll assume you find him funny</p>
<p>well i've said variations of "what the hell" every time he says something rude and I don't smile but he still either hasn't gotten the message or is some sort of sociopath</p>
<p>verbally ***** him out.</p>
<p>Ask him politely to stop if not.</p>
<p>Then humiliate him by announcing to the whole team that he's got a small ####, is gay, and was caught making out with another dude in the locker room.</p>
<p>Or you could do what I would do: If he doesn't leave you alone, just beat the crap out of him. What's the worst that could happen? You gain some respect, and he'll leave you alone...and maybe a 1 or 2 day suspension.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
