Is this a smear campaign or slander?

[Anonymous]

If I'm bullied at school then my family hears from some source and joins in on bullying me and in public people act weird towards me and staring at me and mean to me like people know who I'm because I'm smeared or my name has been slander around. Like My reputation is ruined.

If your family joins in instead of defending you they’re not your family. I would immediately start trying to separate yourself from them. Set boundaries and go low to no contact

This is so sad 😞 your family don't stand up for you?

And how much of this is reality and how much is paranoid delusions?

Whoa. Your FAMILY joins in?

[Asker]

Yes they do

Ok, well, it is time to extricate yourself from your family as soon as possible, or if impossible for now, as much as possible. Questions:

1. How soon can you graduate and finish "secondary school / High School / whatever they call it in your country"?

2. How soon can you start going on to higher education, academic or vocational? (preferably the latter, unless you can find academic education truly uncorrupted).

3. How soon can you start earning (and saving and investing) your own money?

1. I graduate in June.
2. To a college for 2 years
3. I have money saved up already

OK, well, just sit tight and ride it out. Try to avoid being around your home other than for sleeping. Go study at the library, go work a job after school, just don't be around the house so much. Rembmer: They can't pick on you when you are not there. If they object to your being not at home, just respond, gee, why would they oppose your studying or working?

Sadly, your peers are apparently mostly assholes. Well, just rest assured you will outdistance them and leave them behind.
