TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
My issue is that i've been bullied for two years, by the same girls. I have talked to the school over and over, now their advice to me is to go to the police. I tried but the bully lied to the police and they won't help me now, because of her lying and the fact that earlier in the year i smacked her in the face because they keep pushing. Why won't they help me? I don't want it to stop when i hang myself, i want help now. Please help me. Please
