I was a victim of bullying all throughout grade school. I went to about four of them, so often times it felt like me against the world. I tried shrugging off the insults as best I could, but whenever somebody touched me, I fought back. I got a lot of suspensions, but I was getting beat up enough at home by my father. I didn't want to put up with it at school. It didn't lessen the bullying much, but I did manage to make a few friends, though I mostly kept to myself. I moved around a lot during high school as well, but I didn't have much chance to make friends or run into bullies as I kept my nose in a book most of that time. Miyamoto Musashi and samurai literature in general, actually. Though the few times I did get into fights in high school, I gave better than I got and they left me alone. Those fights, I kept to myself, and to my knowledge, the teachers were unaware.
Looking back, yea, I held a knife to my wrists once or twice. I didn't go through with it, obviously. At the time I thought I was a coward for not cutting myself open. I know better now. It takes more courage to fight. And blood is disrespectful to a blade.

I never got bullied at school mainly because i knew all the "well hards" a saying we use in england for the bullies.
Plus everyone in our year got on with each other more or less, so no major cases of bullying which was surprising for the school i went.

My boyfriend made his "abitur" (the german A levels) at the age of 16, the average age of his classmates being 19 - 21, and could probably tell quite some stories here, but he got through all fine (mostly by not giving a shit, when someone tried to pick on him)
(As for myself, having two older brothers at the same High school helped a bit to avoid bullying (aside from inner-family bullying anyway)

I had bullies when I was younger. They were more the beat you up type than the name calling. So... yeah sucked as a kid but I'm glad I learned how to take a punch when I was six when no one was strong enough to knock out your teeth. High school wasn't bad because I ended up being tall and nobody seems to mess with you when your 6"1' as a junior.
Anyway: "People say bullies are cowards. Well, they're wrong. Bullies are brave because they're strong!" The man who said that apparently knew more about reality than my school counselor in gradeschool.

For the first four years of my schooling (Kindergarten to year 3) I got bullied a fair bit. You know you need to re-consider who you're friends are the day they beat you to the ground and force orange peels from the floor into your mouth. In fact this one guy I knew (I'm not going to give names) was such a right cock-end that almost every day erupted in a big fight between us, it would've gone on like that but one day back in year 3 I just walked up to him and said we need to stop fighting and be friends and from then on we were. At the end of year 3 my parents moved me to a different school because many boys were leaving and it was absolute paradise compared to what I came from!
I'm in year 9 now at the kind of all boys school in an area where it could be considered "That school" among the saintly fancy yancy academies round the place but the teachers are caring and the guys are kind. Really the only shit I've ever copped from anyone here was from this bloke who had it in for me from day one year seven, every day he'd give me shit for various reasons despite the fact that I'd never had much interaction with him. And because of what I learned from the jerks who made up most of my friends in the early days well I gave him a comeback one day when I was sick of it all that to this day I feel guilty of bringing up. Though from then on we both realized just how similar we both were and now we just get on with each other.

Back in the elementary school years some jackasses figured it'd be a good idea to make me the brunt of their verbal abuse. It wasn't fun and has led me to become the reclusive seething mass of hatred I am today (mind you I have friends and we crack jokes at each other all the time, but people in general annoy me to no end). So I spend my days sealed away in my house on the internet or stabbing/shooting to death virtual people on my 360 (much to my mom's annoyance, she says I need to get out more and talk to people and such). In middle school there was this really annoying bastard, there were so many times I wanted to tackle him to the ground and mete out sweet sweet vengeance until he choked to death on his own blood, but just thinking about doing it was satisfying enough and kept me from actually doing it (and I couldn't actually do half the Mortal Kombat esque things I thought up). So yeah it sucks and those dumbasses in public schools really need to figure out a way to get that stopped so society as a whole isn't destroyed by utter lack of interpersonal interaction.
Forgot to mention my lack of self confidence when it comes to talking pretty girls or girls in general, or even holding a conversation for that matter.

Proven plan against bullying:
Dont talk to anyone in the hall
where black (alot of black) all the time
dont smile in the morning
draw pictures of weapons and aliens
made everyone stay away from me (except the people who acted just like me)
also got the nick name "The Devil" out of it which Im proud of
Ironic thing is Im Christian

Umm, where to start?
Used to wear glasses up 'till term 4 of year 3, as a result, I got my ass kicked in pre-primary, to the point where one of the cunts took 'em off me and chucked them across the basketball court. That's about all I can remember. :S
There was a rumour in my high school, going for... just about the whole 5 years, that I was gay. >_> This circulated through not only my year level, but the one below me, and anything I said to them got turned into a double entendre. Didn't really understand a lot of the slang up until year 10 (WTF is a boner? :S), but after that, I pretty much knew it all and was able to call them on it a couple of times. :S
Didn't really attack them for two reasons:
1: I was considerably weaker physically
2: I probably would've been in trouble instead.
If I could lose just one thing in life, it'd be my memory, those images just won't fuck off.
Oh, and I think my baby brother got bullied hard and is still getting bullied hard and may end up worse than I.

Got bullied from 4th to 9th, I found engineering a psychotic personality ample deterrence to physical abuse. Break someone's nose, and they tend to back off. Verbally they could never win (though they did considerable damage to my self-esteem at the time), wittiest are I. I was still lonely, without friends, but the worst effects were neutered.
My method was similar:MortisLegio said:
Don't talk to anyone unless you want something.
Stay awake for days at a time until your eyes are jet black.
Continue staying awake for days at a time because...?
Draw creepy symbol things with peoples names under them.
And if confronted, go all sadistic on them.
From my perspective it was just hilarious to see people react.
I find that litterally smashing an asshole's teeth against a public phone will generally send people the message that you're not to be fucked with.
Slowly and calmly walking towards his friends as he's lying on the ground sqealing in pain with a very creepily friendly smile on your face afterwords, not delaying your gradual march towards them regardless of what they say generally helps too... And don't forget to pick him off the ground when his buddies have ran off to get the hell away from 'the fucking psychopath', dusting him off, and handing him a dollar whilst saying; "Here buddy, go get yourself a soda on me." in the friendlist tone you can muster beore calmy walking away yourself will also help.

This is something I still deal with almost everyday. And I hate it so much.
My school has a serious attitude problem: 40% percent are slack-jawed morons who think their tough, 25% are trouble-making-dirtbags who think they can't be touched 'cause their rich, 15% are slacker that don't care that they're in school, and 10% are some sort of combination. Then there are 10% who are me and a handful of other people that are friggin sick of what's going on here.
Every waking moment is like being stuck in a wide-awake nightmare. I am the prime target of ridicule and scorn, just for being the only nerd in class, and because no one understands me. They say stuff like: "Dude why are you drawing that's for losers?" or "You don't play sports that means ur g4y," or "What you actually want to study?" or even videogame related comments like "Pokemon is for babies" and "What's Half-Life? It's sounds like it copies Halo."
One time in class, I ending up losing it because yet another class was wasted due to everyone's constant interruptions, so I spoke out to them (although I asked the teacher permission to do so since I'm a goody-twoshoes) and told them off. Some people said stuff like "He's got a point," others said "Sure, yeah, ok," in a sarcastic tone, and then one person had the guts to actually say "Why do you care if we talk?" and then I lost my temper and yelled at that person. I had never felt that good before while I was there. That felling died because the class soon returned to it's regular chaos.
Being a lone nerd here sucks, a lot, but if there is anything I learned from a good friend of mine back in the US, is that being called a nerd or a geek should be considered a compliment nowadays, because they're the only people who will survive after the recent stupid virus dies down.
Right now, I agree with him more than ever. /truth

Usually you can blow it off if its just a random incident, if it happens more than once or twice I usually pick a fight. If I lose, I lose a little face and I'm backed by my friends regardless. If I win, I usually get everyone that even had the slightest dislike of the bully on my side and bragging rights for a month or so. And if you do it outside (football field, edge of parking lot, etc.), its usually unlikely that any authority figures will find you, and the people manning the security cameras never really care enough to send someone after you unless you broke the other guy's arm or something.
I was bullied from years 7-11 at my school but thankfully after year 11 most of them left as they were too stupid to continue on. There are still some unpleasent people left but I can quite easily avoid them.
I sort of get bullied, but not physically, since i'm quite big. It's usually verbal. I deal with it by either
1) not caring
2)confusing them
3)standing up for myself
It tends to work, I'm not afraid, I try not to bully and go looking for fights. I'm a prime target for verbal bullying because I'm a gamer, intelligent and eccentric. But never physically, since i can kick most people's asses.
