Were you Bullied?

Post » Tue Jul 20, 2010 1:01 am

I woulden't say bullied. I was "picked on" a bit at one school by this one kid by him and his friend( this was 2nd grade), but that was just for like one year until I moved. Funny thing is I ended up going to the same highschool with him and his friend. One of them was cool, the other was a huge loser and I heard he flunked Highschool. I never been physically bullied or even severly picked on.

No, I wasn't bullied. My big mouth got me into trouble more than a few times, though, when I was younger, so some kids would gang up on me and try to insult me. I insulted back. Later on, nobody would mess with me because I seemed pretty tough, despite being fairly thin. I guess I had that attitude. I did get into a couple of fights, though. I lost one.
One thing I really couldn't stand, though, was animal abuse. That literally sent me into a blind rage. I remember bashing one guy's head against a car repeatedly while being so angry I had tears in my eyes. The other one (was bigger than me) turned around and ran.

That is totally the wrong way to deal with teenagers calling you gay. You do what I do and be super fabulous and laugh it off. It works a treat, humor diffuses any situation.

Nope, trying to be humor made things worse, because they then think im serious, thats why I dont bother answering them when they say I am too serious and need to joke more, because I try and it just makes things worse.

Yeah, I was bullied, especially in my earlier years. It's kinda made me slow to trust people.

Once I got into middle-school I never really got bullied again(by that time I had developed a pretty effective, Clockwork Orange-style death stare when potential bullies came by), with the exception of one time in PE towards the end of high school. I used the treadmill a lot when it was raining outside, and one day some idiot thought it'd be funny to start messing with me and kept turning off the treadmill. After I gave him several warnings to quit it, when the teacher turned his back the bully pushed me and I responded with a swift kick to his shin(background: at that point I had just gotten my second degree black belt...) and he never even made eye contact with me again. I think he thought I was a psychopath or something. :laugh:

You're doing it wrong. You have to be confident, you have to genuinely not give a [censored], it helps if you find yourself funny... once people see that you're fully able to laugh it off, they'll leave you alone. Humor is a great shield.

Of course, it helps if you're legitimately fabulous like D is.

I use to get bullied. There were two types of bullying.

First type, I got bullied by someone I did not associate with, someone I did not want to associate with. After the second time I was mad that I had to be scared going to school, I was a child at the time. The bully was a grade higher than me, one year older approx., one day I got fed up and brought hot sauce to school, he tried me, again, and he got hot sauce in his eyes, he was on the floor crying, I then proceeded to kick his head, eventually I was pulled off him, diddnt get in trouble, just had to miss recess for the rest of the day, I knew enough not to do too much damage to him, he got bruised, no teeth missing, although I tried to make him loose some teeth. We became friends after that.

Edit: Bully use to put me in headlocks to show off to his friends, that kinda thing, why I got mad.

Second type, bullying by people from the neighborhood, people I would hang out with, but it diddnt bother me.. too much. Making fun kinda thing, I use to do it myself, to tease, you know.

Nowadays I have a firm stance on bullying. You push me for no reason, I punch you in the throat. Some people think its harsh, but its harsh starting something just to feel big. You take it to a next level, punch me in the face for no reason or because I got you back for pushing me, I will burn down heaven and hell to get my revenge, and best be sure it will be something good. I think everyone should take this stance on bullying and starting [censored] and stuff like that. An eye for an eye and a leg! If your lucky, An eye for an eye, leg and arm!

If it was always like that, would people act so stupid?

It'd be different if we werent civilized, but we are, so an* eye for an eye and leg is a fair trade.

Every [censored] day of my school life. And not just by the students. Put in the hospital a few times. Dropped out as fast as I could. At 37 years of age, I still have a reaction every time I see a school bus or a school. It's a part of my life, affects my social environment, and I carry it with me every day. Makes my life very difficult.

The first principal I had would tear into me over the stupidest things. Sent me home crying a lot in first grade. Only a few years ago did someone explain why she was so hard on me. My father seriously injured his back I think just before I was born. He used to be a very hard worker and was in the Corps of Engineers. He worked crazy hours. When he hurt his back, he spent most of his time on the couch in front of the TV. A once very strong man was reduced to that image, and a sad one indeed. So there I was in a family living on Social Security, in poverty, and many a night without a full meal because Social Security sometimes stopped payments and he'd have to go to court all over again. Anyway, the impression left with the community was that he just didn't want to work. And I had no idea what was going on, but their attitude toward him was frequently directed at me, by just about everyone around us. So there I was, a little boy and a principal who was unpredictably mean to me.

After she died, they named the school after her.

I was bullied in Primary School a bit, and then again a bit in the first two years of High School by some jerks in the senior years. When I grew to 6"1' though the bullying suddenly stopped :toughninja:

Nope. I was always the popular guy in school for the most part, mostly due to the fact that I'm actually a dike myself.

While I have not actually been bullied, there have been instances where.... people haven't been very nice to me, to say the least. Going to a public school, I make an effort not to stick out.

This is what I did in middle school and through high school. Two guys I use to hang out with, and were from the neighborhood, were the two biggest guys on the football team :intergalactic:

I guess it was just lucky that these guys were my friends already. I wasn't friends with them because they acted as a deterrent, they were actually my friends. Anyway, I think I would have got on fine regardless, I'm not really your stereotypical bullies victim. :shrug:

There is no typical bully victim. I never use to get bullied much but a few instances, when I wasnt really aware of what I could do to counter it. Some people get bullied and they never realize it.

Yes, quite extensively. Not going to get into the details but boy did it make me very indifferent towards schooling and my peers altogether.
