I am a starter on my football team and Captian, and people say I suck and in trash and say this all the time. For example a new kid came to your school and my "friend" said oh don't listen to him he's trash at football. They also make fun of my acne which I try to stop. I hang out with the popular kids I'm not weird girls tell me I'm cute. I'm really athletic. But yet I'm still always bullied by a lot of people and they're crushing my dreams of playing pro football and it's really effecting my life. On top of all of this I am going through a very hard knee injury and am on crutches and I don't get any sympathy or understanding from anyone. SO WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE BULLY MEE??!!

I think you first of all need to identify who your real friends are. If people are being mean to you and not just joking, then make other friends. I realise this sounds really corny, but real friends aren't mean to each other.
Secondly, be aware of how you are presenting yourself to others. You may be caught in a vicious cycle of being mean to people (perhaps unintentionally) and them in turn being mean to you and so on, so make a concerted effort to be nice to people. Having said this, if you need to, stick up for yourself. I'm not suggesting you get into fights, but avoid being an easy target by not reacting to people baiting you. If you have to, just remove yourself from the situation where you feel like people are ganging up on you.
If you want to talk more about this, you can message me and I will try to help in any way I can.
You have to realize that even popular people get bullied , I mean look at celebrities. Acne happens and if you have a condition people shouldn't care. ignore those people. Listen if you are captain then you are clearly good. Listen you do things for you and remember people always gossip. Teachers can bully too anyone can bully and anyone can get bullied. Keep YOUR HEAR Held high and remember that people might not feel sympathy because they are jealous or don't know you.
