Growing up as a child all through school I was bullied both boys and girls in my school just because I was Korean, now my brother that is 11 years younger than I am is going through the same bullying as I went through as he goes through school, why do kids have to be so mean and cruel just because we are of Korean? Although after I graduated it seemed like the bullying has stopped me but it's saddens me to see my little brother going through the same torment as I have gone through. My main question is why do kids have to be so cruel to others that are not like them? Has anyone been bullied in school just because you're not like others in your school?

I’m sorry to read this, Barbara. I think a lot of people have experienced some form of bullying, whether it’s obvious or not. Unfortunately, sometimes the need to deflect negative attention from themselves, the desire to fit in with others, and having problems at home (and I’m sure many other reasons) can cause someone to say or do mean things to another. Anything that may be different than others is something to target….ethnicity, social status and family income, any type of disability
I think if more people actually talked and got to know one another as people, we’d realize that a lot of us have things in our lives that we can actually help each other get though -
I have not been bullied myself but have had a few friends get bullied and it also saddens me when I see such bullying or harrassing going on, I will personally get in the middle between the bully and person being bullied and nip that right in the bud.
I am sorry you had to and your brother has to endure such behavior. I fell a bully does what they do to get attentilon -

I'm not looking for sympathy but only answers to how can I help my little brother

I'm not sure what he can do
telling a teacher would probably be the best, but that would depend if the teacher does anything about it, and getting a bully in trouble could just make them angrier (and make them turn friends away for snitching)
Ignoring them and finding good friends though if the bullies are determined they'd still do it. But at least he'd have friends supporting him
Beat them up not really a good idea, but unfortunately sometimes the only way to show that your not going to take it, and make them think it's easier to bully someone else
not sure it ever stops really. Still see bullying for race, sex, gender every day. Even the government now seems to put people down for where they come from (even when theyre immigrants themselves) and other reasons.

Gosh,
Sometimes you have to push back. In my experience most bullies are cowards. But you don't want to get thrown out of school either. -
Unfortunately I cannot push back on the bullies as I am at work when he is at school . Mom and I have contacted the guidance counselor and the principal and they advised us they would be watching . My little brother has gotten into fights in the past but the bullying continue . Mom and I have contacted the parents of the bullies with no avail and I continue with their comments and bullying. Where do we go from there

There's no way that I would put a hand on a child as I am 20 years old and he is 11 years old. I don't think law enforcement would take kindly to a 20-year-old beaten up 11 year old and that would be child abuse. There's no way touch a child in that demeanor.
E.g. "Even if you don't seem to see me, I'm somewhere nearby and watching you".

Nothing stops your parents from calling those parents again.

Sad. Unfortunately a lot of times the only way to put an end to it is to take the matter into your own hands. I think bullies bully because of their own insecurities. If he pushes back and puts a beat down on them, they stay away. They seem to always only target those that they consider easy targets as harsh as that sounds. I don't think schools do anything to prevent it either. I hate to say it and promote violence but a nice punch square to the face usually ends it. Just like the scene at beginning of the movie American Sniper. The whole wolf, sheep dog explanation was really on point there.

I usuallly ignore them, but I usually fight back, as crazy as that sounds ,
i'm honestly used to it happening cause people like to make fun of my blindness, but I learned to ignore it after a while -

Bullies continue to bully precisely because their victims dont dare to say anything.
Telling them 'oh, your words and your actions hurt me so much, could you please stop ?' that just doesn't work. A punch in the face does.
If the guy knows that next time he comes up to you to cause trouble he's gonna get one, he'll think twice about it -
lol, I tell my class, they are only mad cause you're better then them
