Dear Jellybean,

In our school the one of the last year classes has some people from the year below in. I'm in that class and some of the girls in the last year have started teasing one of the boys in the year below, and I can't see why. They don't have a reason and I don't get how they can do that, they got me to tease him as well once and I felt so bad because we actually made him cry and I don't understand what bullies get out of it. A couple of days ago one of them kicked him but no one knew who kicked him except me and her, but I didn't tell anyone and now they've started teasing me as well because everytime they've teased him I've stood up for him, now they've been saying that I've got a crush on him, which I have, but I still don't like them saying that because now almost everyone is teasing me and whenever we sit next to each other people act really immature. I try to ignore them but it's really hard and there's no point in telling the teachers because all they ever say is "stay away from them" but I can't because I have to sit next to them in class. I don't know what I should do about them picking on both of us.
