I feel im being bullied and its making me really miserable. what can I do?

I moved to the United States from France because of my Dads work and aside from a two weeks at the beginning, my time here has been miserable. A group of girls have been making my time at school terrible for no reason except me being French. I was fine at the beginning, but then things changed. 2 boys had asked me out in the second week of school; I’d said I was just getting settled but doing something as friends would be nice. This seemed to set this group of girls off on me; they started making comments about me being ‘easy’ but I was just asked, that was it. Every time I speak they mock my accent, I hate speaking out in cl because I can always hear their laughing. It's hard to speak a second language all the time and this makes me really self-conscious. If I’m walking in the corridor, they’ll kick my heel to try to trip me up. I’ve always liked fashion, but I never wear anything now except plain clothes and I never wear dresses anymore, because they always take my clothes as an excuse to mock something. I feel miserable. I’ve met some nice people here, but these girls are making it impossible for me to enjoy anything. I’m afraid to tell a teacher because I think they won’t do anything because I’m foreign. I know that sounds stupid, but I just feel like that. I’m sorry if this seems like a bit of a rant; I just wanted to get it out. has anyone been in a situation like this? how can i deal with this and stop it happening? thanks for any advise

Is it possible the Obama Care is a Shell Game and a Sham?

yeah,you got it right.most americans now see it for what it is.reform is needed to fix some stuff.but not a total overhaul.

Have you ever seen a commercial that made you dislike the product or service being sold?

For me, there is a commercial for a department store that has a bunch of celebrities like Usher, Martha Stewart, Donald Trump, Kimora Lee, etc., pushing their products. This turns me off because they are super rich and pushing to make more money off of those of us that aren't. If anything, I will stay far away from that dept. store.

How do greenhouse gases absorb infrared light?

Chemically, what's the similarity between Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide and Methane that allow them all to absorb infrared light as energy?

If you are married is it ok to have close friends of the opposite ?

I have been happily married for 11 years to my best fiend and hopefully my lifelong companion, but I have always had more woman friends then guy friends. And no i am not feminine in any way, shape or form. Yes, I am in touch with my feminine side but believe me I do guy things and am not interested in sissy stuff. I just prefer conversing with women alot more than men. I do like to flirt but if it ever goes beyond that on her side I feel very uncomfortable like if I was propositioned the same . LOL Anyhow i continue to have many women friends and want only that froom them.

Why are American people a lot more friendlier and chatty than us English people...?

I'm not saying British/English people are unsociable, but not many people over here tend to start a conversation with you. I have noticed that when I'm out and about, people just don't acknowledge one another, they just look miserable and wary all the time. When I went to New York and Texas last year, loads of people wanted to get to know me, they would chat loads and be really sociable. I asked someone about why they are so warm and chatty all the time, and this lady told me that they are always like this, and it wasn't just because I was a foreigner. In the UK, if I went up to someone and asked them a question, they look at you as if you're an alien or something. Even when I go up to ask someone the time, they give me a look that basically says "Why are you bothering me" and it's stupid right? I like to get to know new people, especially people my own age (I'm 23). But people just don't seem to want to give you the time of day, well few people anyway. It's like everyone is in their own little bubble, comfortable with their own close knit group of friends, and don't want to break out of that bubble.

Apart from global warming, depleting ozone layer, threat of terrorism, racial hatred, gun crime, ebola, aids?

religious hatred, hoodies, disappearing pensions, the smoking in pubs thing, polititians, the state of the railways, full prisons, CBB, Gadaffi duck, the euro mp's gravy train, radiation leaks, freak weather and the english cricket team; is the world such a bad place?
