But I.....don't like fighting back physically....but...I guess I'll try....?
Just fight defensively. Don't just throw your punches - wait for the right moment. And just do it to detain them.
I'm not persuading you to fight. But if they get physical, fight back. You can't keep letting them drag you around. Once you show them they'll have a tough time with you, they'll start leaving you alone. For good. Find out their weaknesses. If they're jealous of you, use what they're jealous about to get popular. Gain allies, even if not friends.
Rise above them. Don't let them keep trampling over you.
Stop hesitating.

Don't remember where but I've heard this before and I still go by it:
"If you let a bully steal your lunch now, they'll steal your wife later."
Sounds nasty and it happened before, except replace "wife" with "friends" because they always took friends away from me.
Don't let them. Instead of being weak on the inside, be STRONG on the inside. Bullies are weaker inside than most people - the only exception being those they bully.
If you're tired of what's happening to you, ACT. Don't say "I already have" because if that stuff hasn't worked that means you need to do MORE. Stop walking away. ALWAYS stand your ground.
AND defend others that are being bullied. There's something I posted on YouTube. Read it:
Don't just wipe your hands of an issue. Keep fighting.

This world apples. The people apple. Everything here apples.
But hey, just because this world is horrid that doesn't mean there isn't one out there that is paradisical like Equestria.
If you want the world to get better, do something about it yourself.
A nice quote: "Your identity makes up your reality."
While most Symphonic Metal is depressing - atleast in a way for people to relate to the words within - Lunatica is extremely inspirational and uplifting. This is just one of the many reasons why it's my favorite band.
"Feel free to speak. Don't deny yourself, the rights you have got... Unleash these words and LIVE!"

Fighting has nothing to do with being kind, just with being weak. Weak on the INSIDE. When you fight FOR something you attain more power than someone that just wants to cause pain to others. Violence isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you do it like I do:
Whenever I fight people, I read their movements. I avoid their throws then grab them in a way that I can detain them. I normally do it the way police do and just put their hands behind their back and put my weight on them. This way you don't actually hurt them, you just show them you mean business. Trust me, this will scare them off.
At the end of my Junior year of high school some guy in my club was having a REALLY bad day (life, actually) and he thought I said something about him though I didn't. He overreacted, grabbed me from behind, and started choking me. All I did was play it cool. I showed no sign of suffering, I didn't freak out, or anything. I just played it calm and was like "please let me go". I waited then without saying anything. Some other people in the club got him to stop and I just left.
I handled that situation the same way I do fighting - I am sure of myself, what I desire to do, and with a calm and collected manner I handle the situation. However, if I was not sure of myself I would not have been able to do it. You have to believe that everything will work out. Once you have that much faith in yourself you'll be able to conquer anyone that comes your way. It all depends on how YOU handle the situation.
And if you fall down, get back up and try try again.

How in Equestria did the individual races, then, diverge so completely in terms of ski color, eye color, anatomical differences, what have you? It would seem such differences would cause interbreeding to be almost impossible...
I am quite familiar with the Mendel model and will thus explain my OC's genetics.
As you may know, my OC is half-changeling and half-pony. What you may not know is that his mother is an EARTH pony, specifically pp nn aa. If you were a racist Pegasus or Unicorn you'd probably call this the lowest of the low. This gene combination is 100% Alicorn Earth.
So then why is my character a Unicorn...or supposedly one?
Changeling DNA is always the same except for in concerns to gender. As shown in the Season 2 finale, the Queen led all the soldiers - who were male. The thing about Changeling genetics is that females are extremely rare and are thus counted as sacred in Changeling society. On the other hand, males are so widespread that they can be sent to war without anyone giving an apple about them. This is why men are easily placed as workers and soldiers and women are automatically given high places in society. Also, because of the fact that the population is determined by so few females, parenthood is not a concern. In fact, mass apprenticeship takes its place for the males and one-on-one apprenticeship for females.
As you know, Changelings prefer to have a Winged Unicorn -like form. They also have magical ability, though like the male soldiers showed it's more used to create blasts than actual magic.
My character's connection to poison - which physically is a part of nature - and his ability to smith weapons that could utilize it in a way that affects enemies to such a high degree yet never accidentally harm the wielder is a result of his connection to metals and his ability to easily find and exploit the weaknesses of his enemies is a result of his connection to living things. This is all a result of his mother's absolute Alicorn Earth gene and its resulting strength within him. Studying magic was a result of his Changeling gene allowing him to have a horn and high magical potential. Though females in Changeling society are able to learn advanced magic because of their specific training while males are not, my OC was born into pony society and was thus able to find ways to learn magic.
The reason the Element of Poison is rarely used by unicorns is because of the fact that a strongly pure Alicorn Earth gene parent and a strongly pure Alicorn Unicorn gene parent are needed to have an offspring with such potential. Otherwise someone trying to master the element could end up poisoning their own mana and effectively kill themselves. Because my OC has a Changeling father his potential for that element was actually greater than if his father had been an Alicorn Unicorn, thus making his connection to the element pretty much guaranteed.
You forget the fact that changelings are...changelings. His father was taught in espionage in a way that he could take pony form for a considerable time (this is one of those rare times when males learn special magic). But changelings don't just APPEAR as another creature, they even change into that new anatomy.
If they were somehow related, however, it would be like foxes, dogs, and wolves. They are still canines and can thus still interbreed. Foxes are known to (mostly) be orange and have a much different build from dogs but can still interbreed with them. Do note that this is a rare occurrence since even though dogs and foxes have been known to interbreed, they are of different genus. Dogs and wolves are of the same genus and can thus interbreed much more easily.
Chrysalis already showed that it's a magical transformation but as for physical to physical shapeshifting it has to do with controlling the quantity of things in the body like vitamins, blood count, etc and being able to alter your DNA in such a way that you can then turn into anything you want with the nutrients and otherwise in specific parts being regulated correctly. This just depends on what your brain can do, really.

Everyone thinks suicide is bad. I don't for this reason:
I believe in Reincarnation. I don't want my other lives to remember this one being a trainwreck so it would be best to get out ASAP.
The problem with that is that I believe everyone has a purpose. Once they find their path, they'll find out what role they are meant to play. I don't want to leave life without making this life mean something.
The one thing you have to do more than anything else is start moving forward. Be OFFENSIVE. Learn boxing, smack talk, or even study some Law.
For FaceBook you can just call the company and have them investigate. They can get the guy for impersonating you since that is against the law.
Bullies normally have issues themselves. Find out what that is and exploit it.
It may seem mean, but remember this: The first thing you need to do is move forward and you won't be able to move forward unless you deal with the obstacles currently in your way.
