You could add more obstacles (as GhostSlayer said), and you could also add subplots, or plots that contribute more toward character development than the main plot, but are still important to the story.
Hey! I want to start out by saying, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. It is never okay, and it makes people who have to deal with it sooo uncomfortable.
I just finished my freshmen year, and ever since seventh grade, I have also been dealing with things like this.
If this is happening in school, the first step is to report it to the admin or a teacher. It is so important for you to advocate for yourself, and it is the first step toward making change. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee the school will do much. My dad has literally had to go to the school board, and sometimes threaten to sue the school in order for changes to be made (things like getting handicap buttons on the doors, getting students to stop harassing me and joking about inappropriate topics, etc.), and even then, it still takes time. The important thing is never to be silent. If you can find people in your school who are experiencing similar things, and who are willing to speak up, all the better. The more voices, the louder the cry.
Sorry about how long that was. If you have more questions about how you can change this, feel free to reach out.
oh I haven't really been personally lol I was just stating what I knew about them, sorry!! I've been thinking about sending in my work to some magazines like Cricket (younger magazine) and Lilith (Jewish publication thingy), but I haven't gotten around to it yet! I did win a YWP contest last year that published me in Seven Days (I think they also do send-ins and contests for themselves) and I recieved $25 for it. But yeah, I don't really know myself besides the famous ones and local ones, sorry! I think Ms. Reid would be a great person to ask for this :D
That is so sweet of you to say. I always hope people relate to the writing I do.
