Hi everyone,
I feel like i might be experiencing a sort of bullying, through others gossiping and spreading false rumours. Even if it isn't bullying, it still hurts lots. I'm (almost) your average year 9 student, managing the challenges of high school, thankfully with my amazing partner being there to help. In my school, there's been talk going around about how my partner and I have broken up, when we haven't even gotten anywhere close to it. And then before then its also been "get a room" type comments and talk whenever we hug, and it makes both of us feel uncomfortable (knowing thats what certain people are thinking) and also angers us, to the point where its becoming stupidly hard to manage. I've tried talking to a trusted teacher, but once they had missed the email, we eventually decided to just leave it and try solving this with outside help, so as to not make it any worse because teachers are mandatory reporters. So far the only help we've gotten is basically a "suck it up and get over it" solution, which I don't think will work in this case. I do have a counsellor outside of school that I could go to, but i'm not sure how to ask to see them again, with it especially hard due to my parents being to so great. I've seen some potential strats to cope include things like music and working on hobbies but, even though I already do many of them, they don't seem to have an effect on this. It's been going on for, at least to my knowledge, about 6 or 7 months, though knowing the certain people well enough I would assume it's for something more along the lines of 9 or 10 months.
If anyone has any tips, it would be immensely appreciated, and I hope this can help those who watch too.
Edit:
I'm transfem and my parents, although having gone through almost the same thing with one of my brothers, deadname and misgender me. At this point I've just been ignoring them and what they said when they do it. Because of that it's been difficult for me to talk to them and why its going to be extremely hard to get help from my counsellor. For in-school counselling, after what my partner went through, I'm not sure its going to be one of the top courses of action. They seemed to have attempted to push their religion onto them a bit and were a bit oblivious to the seriousness of their situation (which has, and still is, being dealt with but thankfully outside of school).
Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping us out.
