I know that if I was in your position I would give them a good talking to. Since they are younger then you they will probably listen to you a lot more then they would listen to someone in there same grade. Maybe it would scare them if you "talked" to them.

I have been bullied alot too....Im in 10th grade and it all started I believe around 5th-6th grade.

It doesn't matter if your friend says don't tell the principal. You should anyways. Also, talk to her and her parents about it. I'm sure something good will come from it. The bullying in todays society is to out of hand.

I was bullied at one point in my life too.

Like MegaSaverZero said you really should tell the principal. If you don't they will continue and there is a chance that she could commit suicide, trust me I had a friend do that because of bullying.

In case the other two didn't convince you... Yeah, you've got to tell. You're friend is in an actual life-threatening situation.

Bullying among teenagers is nothing new. What's changed is that most of society has become more peaceful so it appears to be more of a problem than it once was. The fact is that it's always been a problem, the reaction today is just more passive.

I would tell the principal and, if nothing is done about it, carry a baseball bat with me. Be careful that you don't fall into the same behavior they are using against you. Understand you can't use more force to repel the attack than the threat against you. The key is, "speak softly and carry a big stick." You have an absolute right to defend yourself.
