You need to feel good about yourself before tackling problems with self esteem.

Ask yourself why these people do what they do, I'm sure the answer you'll find will be something like... They do it because it makes them feel powerful, strong and good about themselves.
The way to beat people like this is to be more confident than them, not in a threatening way (sure to get you the smackdown) but when they pass you at school smile at them and keep walking, if they corner you or call you names, just smile, say "hey man, howsit?" Don't show fear, this is what they live off. They see fear, they've gotya. But if you keep up the confidence in your posture, your tone of voice and what you say they'll get bored of you and leave you alone soon enough
Thanks Downunda.Thanks CD. I think I'm going to take a break from the net for awhile.Maybe a week or so.

LOL, Elif, El Paso is in Far West Texas, in what is known to geographers as the Great Chihuahuan Desert. Here in East Texas we get an average of 42" per year. More this year, though.
