I think most people, to every person, have been bullied and has bullied.

You dont need to be, apparently not havinga GF and not caring or showing interest in getting one instantly makes you gay, school is weird like that.

I recant my previous post. Occasionally in middle school, people made fun of my speech impediment. However, it was seldom and i got someone to stop after I reacted aggressively (I did not want to fight him, but I was very sensitive about it). But it was not enough for me to consider it "bullying".

Nope, never saw why a person would allow themselves to be picked on. If some one bigger and tougher than me started picking on my Id kick 'em in the nuts, mount them, and start punching till the cops came. But then again, Im a big guy myself so its not hard to see why no one really picked on me. That and Im just too awesome

Being excluded from groups, being made fun of, trying to make people not like you, and those kinda things are bullying too.

I have been bullied, and I have bullied. Particularly in elementary school, and middle school. I was the punching bag everyone went to for stress relief. Kids actually took the time to spread rumours about me, some of them true, unfortunately, and I was relentlessly teased about it. I've been through everything from physical abuse, to verbal abuse, and yes, even sixual abuse, which took until well past high school to get over and move on from. Come high school, I was six feet tall, two-hundred and eighty pounds of muscle, and I had grown a thick, rough beard and my hair was longer. I looked like Charlie Manson on steroids. Very few people dared to pick me out for bullying at that point, but I was lightly teased a lot. I blew that light teasing way out of proportion, though. I had to be escorted out of class once, because I lifted a desk and threatened to throw it at a kid. Not one of those tiny, typical classroom desks, with the little chair attached to it. A four and a half foot wide, eighty-pound desk. If I weren't in a behavioral disorder class, I'd be put in one, or expelled.

For the most part, in high school, I was ignored. Nobody wanted to be friends with me because they were afraid of me, and no girls had any interest in me because I wasn't a jock or a skinny pretty boy, and I had horrible social skills. From going through so much in my life, by high school I was far more mature than anyone else, and I had developed my own interests and tastes, and really, lived in my own world. I didn't fit in anywhere and I didn't know how to. That was far worse than bullying. I was completely, and utterly alone. The beginning of my senior year, I had a severe mental breakdown and was hospitalized. When I returned to school, something a teacher said triggered another breakdown and I left school that day and never returned. I completed my senior year on homeschooling. I received my diploma, I did not go to the senior prom, or to graduation. I went from being a straight-A student to barely graduating with D's and C's, and I've never been good at school since. I failed my first semester of college and never went back.

I haven't stopped being bullied. It changes, when you're older. It's still there, but it's not like when you were a kid. It's less obvious, but it's there, and it's just as cruel, if not worse.

Except now I just have my fiancee go beat them up for me.

Yup, I sure was.

We moved a lot when I was a kid. So I was "the new kid" many times over my life, and it's always easy to pick on the new kid.

When I hit high school, a grade 12 student (Known as a bad ass, but he was really quite nice.) took me under his wing and it mostly stopped. I had 2 people challenge me to a fight, (separately) I managed to hold my own until both fights got broken up. 1 by a Jamaican janitor, who made everyone laugh with his Jamaican accent saying "be friends boys, be friends" repeatedly. The second one my "body guard" stopped after both of us smashed our heads on concrete (Him) and a brick wall, (Me) which I had my head kicked into. Turns out he had a concussion, I don't know if I did because I didn't tell my mom so no hospital check.

I was kicked from school a short time after that, for fighting and poor attendance. (I never initiated the fights, they found me.) I then ran away from home a couple days later, at 16, and hit the mean streets. I just felt I never belonged to anything. I know the bullying definitely helped to crush my self confidence for a long time.

Heavily.

I was a book nerd. They stole my books and called me names and tried to depants me in front of several hundred people, then tried to knock me down from a scaffolding in front of several hundred people.

I was bullied quite a bit in Middle School. They bullied me a lot in Math class, and it really just...svcked. I used to dread going to school, and would sometimes skip. I used to hide in a little patch of woods behind my apartments, so I didn't have to go. It wouldn't have been so bad, but my Math teacher used to join in. That's what really got me.

It stopped when I got to high school. I was dreading it, because I figured it would get worse. But I guess I became "cool." Whatever the hell that means. Later, the girl who bullied me the most apologized for the hurt she had caused me. I told her to go to hell. She is not forgiven.

It's been a few years since I graduated High School. I still don't like to think about 8th grade algebra. Bullying svcks, it really does. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. People mature, and things will bet better.

Edit: Basically, when I got to high school, I started smoking weed, and I started a street punk band. (Google, "the glory city disasters.") In reality, I really hadn't changed all that much, but the kids started perceiving me as "cool." It really was stupid. I was the same person.

Yup last year for almost the entire year by one person, then about 2 months before school ended I decided I'd had enough and beat the [censored] out of him. It stopped

People attempted to bully me but it never worked out for them. If they refused to listen to reason and they just had to fight me then we would. And after they were bloodied and crying I would help them up, explain to them how all of that wasn't necessary, and they never bothered me again. I even became friends with some of them and effectively ended their bullying ways. I had the advantage of endurance. I was one of those "unless I'm out cold or you give up this fight isn't over" kind of kids.

In one case I earned the respect of a freaking giant. Back when I was around 10 years old there was this 15 year old guy who was a little over 6 feet tall (no joke) who just loved to start crap with my friends and I. He never would physically hurt us, but he was always trying to start drama between us (kind of like Mephala) and one day I had enough. He spread this rumour around that one of my friends and I were homosixuals. Now, I don't have anything against it, but as a 10 year old kid I was not to happy about that accusation. So, I met him at the basketball court and we had some heated words. I went to leave, and in total cliche' movie fashion he was like "Yeah, walk away! That's what you always do. You never stand up and fight" (which in itself was bullcrap) I stopped, turned around, walked right up to him, literally jumped, because otherwise I couldn't reach his head, and punched him right in the face. It knocked his head back but he didn't stumble or anything. We stared at each other for a minute then I walked away. After that we became friends. If he wanted to I'm sure he could have beat me to a pulp. But I earned his respect (not that I wanted it really) by not backing down even though I knew I wouldn't win.

I am not bullied per say, but once at my old school I was slapped by this idiot because I talked to MY sister, who he liked. I punched him, and nobody ever messed with me again

With any success? Did you retaliate in any manner?

Nope. Never was bullied.

No, I wasn't bullied... But Middle school still svcked ten foot wide two foot tall [censored]...

Oh wait I just remembered. It wasn't really bullying, but this kid in 7th grade was piissing me off... A lot... so I started to silently make little obscene comments around school about him. Later in the semester, in lunch, I said to my friend "Wouldn't it be fun to play soccer with that kid's head?" He heard, came over, lightly slapped me twice on either side of the face with his sandwich and threw it away into the trash can. On his trip back, I stood up, walked over his toes(extremely hard) menacingly and kept walking. He shut up.

I'm a medium built kid, 1st degree black belt in Karate, not too muscular, but enough to hold my own in a fight.

Honestly, every one get bullied in some way. I was bullied for being to pale, or because I had like a inch more muscle on my legs then other girls. It always botherd me, but I got over it. I have no idea why people can be so crude and pick on someone daily, making their life a living hell... In my high school there arn't any bullies actually. No one get's beat up. Actually the geeks, or the "weird people" get noticed, and are "cool"...

Oh, yeah, in elementary school. Then they stopped because I developed a "[censored] off" attitude towards them, and I learned in about 3rd grade that "fitting in" really doesn't mean anything and that I can do what I want. Then they left me alone.

Lets see; I was a smart kid that wore glasses, read comic books and played Dungeons & Dragons. Yes, I was bullied until about the 10th Grade. Then I got tired of it and started fighting back, after that the bullying stopped.

i've always sorta been the "nerd-teaser".. you guys might all hate me.. , i'd be the bullied one!

can i post here if i was the bully? :slap: :poke:

I was bullied in school for about 3,5 years, thankfully nothing too serious. Just groups of people being annoying and making fun of me, the entire class laughing at you, the usual stuff. No serious pranks or anything, and I know people who had a way rougher time than me. There were two things that ended it. One guy was constantly picking on me in front of my own friends and generally being an enormous pain in the behind, and the worst thing was that he was somehow always around me. After four of those months I lost it in a full schoolcafeteria. Almost the entire school saw me finally standing up for myself, but I couldn't solve it with words, I was too much of a shy guy back then. I poured my entire can of soda down his neck and back, he stood up but I punched him in the nose before he could do anything. He walked away and never spoke to me again.

About a year after that I wound up in a class full of people who had to redo the entire year, including me. A lot of bullies, but nobody was really out for me. One guy was terribly annoying though, and since I still didn't develop much of a backbone, I didn't have the courage to step up to him. At one point he was bullying me in front of the class, and two guys went up to him and told him to drop it because they said I was cool. Still don't know why they said that, but after that everything stopped and I was considered somewhat 'normal'.

Some serious nerd-rage on this forum.

Pot calling the kettle black much?

I literally have no idea what you are trying to convey.

Something about saying how the nerds have anger issues here, because of past experiances but you have to say there is nerd rage going on, and this is sort of bullying on the internet. I could be wrong, but that is my guess.
