how where you bullied

[CoL0sS]

Verbally abused, ignored ... that kinda stuff. Now that I think about it I didn't resist that much. I valued myself the way others valued me so I accepted the fact I'm pretty worthless. I was all too willing to forgive and forget, just so I can hang out with those kids. It was so fucking pathetic.
Alas not everything was that bad. I had a sister and a little brother, good cousins, took refuge in books and games.
Just had skewed idea of what friendship is supposed to look like.

I was bullied pretty harshly between the ages of 14-16 by a guy in the year above me, he would usually just call me names and shout at me from across the corridor or whatever. After a while he stopped and I soon found out he was bullying the new kids (who were only about 12-13 at the time). When it was me he bullied I was always too scared to confront him but when I saw him bullying other, younger kids I'd had enough. I headbutted his two front teeth down his throat. I wouldn't say I'm proud of that decision but it certainly got the job done.

I used to get chase round the school by these three bullies back in the early days of primary school (I was the only Chinese in the school) although I have no idea how or why one of them decided to be friend with me O_O. I move to another town and I was fine in that school until I enter high school.
The new friends I made (who are now my ex friend) make fun of me everyday at school because I had different like/dislike to them (I own a Gamecube they own a PS2). To me this was an abuse since I was fed up with them and also the fact they were bit racist.
Ok that seen a bit minor to some people but none the less I did suffer for it and make my high school life terrible.

Was bullied verbally for about 3 years, one of the regular abusers decided to try something physical which resulted in him being thrown out of a window (ground floor though, which was a shame).
After that nobody said anything negative about me. Had some repercussions, but managed to blame the other lad for it - being well known as a bully none of the staff believed him.

In hindsight, revenge in that manner may not have been the best moral choice, but god damn it felt good, i never understand why everyone says "ignore bullies" when a hard slap in the face gets their attention off you real quick.

I was never really bullied except by this Japanese kid in a grade in elementary school. He used to call me fat and I wasn't even fat...so my mom told me to call him a name and I did...which I am not going to say on here and he never talked to me again....lol.

Physically, emotionally, pretty much everything. Things I'm glad I missed out on: Swirlies.
In high school, most of them grew up, and I grew up enough to not give a shit. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things I think that bullying made me a better person. It made me grow up and really think about a lot of things. It made me a stronger person.

This is what i keep talking about. I was bullied in year 5 & 6, and it was all verbal, but it made me feel like shit. But by year 7 i learned to grow up and deal with it, and that made me stronger and better as a person. Most people keep saying that people shouldn't have to be bullied at all, and we should protect them, but no. Let them learn how to handle judgement, and abuse, because that's what the real world is like.

Thank you, god I hate that the world is turning bullying into the source of all evil. People, especially children, aren't as fragile as our society likes to believe. Don't believe me? Look up rights of passage and see what other cultures encourage or even force "children" to do, children who are fundamentally the same as our children.

The main difference would be that those children were actually celebrated and given acknowledgement for passing these tests. Though I can see the positive side-effects of bullying, having been bullied for nine lovely years in a row, I'd say that it's not really worth it. Bullying exists and we must all learn how to cope with it, but actually hailing it as a means to advance growth in our young... No, I don't see that.

Personally, I don't remember much from that time, much of it's probably suppressed. I do remember ignoring them most of the time, and when they inconvenienced me I'd simply tell the teacher. I guess I should be glad to grow up in a country where one's ability at sports isn't valued over the way we treat our fellow human beings. That being said, I also remember being a bully to my younger brother. We're allright now, but there are so many thing that I regret. I see the damage in him, and I can't help wonder how much of that I did. Becoming an emotional amputee is hardly what I'd call a positive trait in anyone, but you're entitled to your own opinions, I guess. I just miss my brother.

I'm not an emotional amputee, I learned how to deal with my issues, not how to bury and ignore them. Never said that bullying should be supported, only that it's not as harmful as most people tend to think because children are more resilient than people believe, and that you can learn from being bullied, just like any other experience, good or bad.

The usual stuff, making fun of me for being both smart and overweight. Nothing that hasn't happened to millions of kids fro decades. it stopped when I lost 50 pounds, gained 20 of muscle, and they learned I taught myself to disassemble an assault rifle.

 

[Wardnath]

Pre-primary - I got beaten up by the older students (read: years 4+, not even making this up), had my glasses ripped away from me and thrown across the place, got yelled at by the teacher (for which I can't fucking remember), and got excluded by my own age group.

Yeah... not fun.

Primary - Actually, primary wasn't too bad, really. In fact I'd even go so far as to say it was the best years of my life. O.O

High school - Got a lot of shit for my sexuality in there, to the point where I'd get sexually harassed and groped more times than I could count (This was by the straight males, mind you). Which led to me fighting against any certain thoughts that would come up for fear of giving them any more ammunition. Worst part? I've only just realised that I'm at least bisexual (I'm 19 now). I got harassed for it so badly that I never knew until now.

As to how I feel about that, well, I believe this sums it up fairly nicely.

 

[The Funslinger]

was pushed around throughout primary school, went to secondary school and three year tens (year seven being the youngest there, year 11 the oldest) said to someone in my year, they would give him a tenner to beat me up. He pushed me against the lockers and I kind of saw where life would go from there and punched him in the face. A year ten grabbed me and shouted "hey, you can't do that!" so I smashed him in the face with my elbow and ran like fuck.

Generally, it's my policy to talk back, then hit back when the physical abuse starts. E.G. Something that wasn't exactly bullying (but the guy is a cocky shit anyway, and feels up this girl I'm friends with no matter what she does.) Several of us were playing poker, and he stood behind me, silently reading out my cards to everyone, and they were like "quit it" and I said "stop doing that" so he clipped me on the head, and I didn't react for a moment, then suddenly elbowed him in the stomach. He scurried to the other side of the table and started bitching at me for ages. Hilarious... I think he gets at me because I'm quite small, he's the size of a gorilla (with other similarities) and nobody is scared of his height/weight.

Edit: The point I'm making, is don't establish yourself as an easy target. Even if you spend all your time after doing exactly the opposite, people at school only give a damn about your first impression.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I had an ass who sat next to me in band. He'd constantly rip my papers out of my binder, and sometimes in half. No exciting thing happened to me: told the principal, he got some detentions, he had to come to apologize to me, we switched seats in class.

 

[Togs]

Never really did, I was always one of the "weirdos" so the bullies really didnt know what ot make of me.
The odd few did try but I generally just laughed in their faces and walked away, which confused them no end.

 

[Plurralbles]

just teased with it getting worse because I didn't understand how to take it.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

I was bullied for years by people who were my "friends" and it has only really stopped within the last couple years. At lunch they would play a game in which I was non-existent and included me in it. I couldn't walk away because I had no one else to go to. At the end of the year everyone signed one anothers shirts. I recently found mine and just realised all the insults written on it. I was also called (and am still called) a "weirdo" and "******". On top of that people said I had nits and smelt bad (which made me very self conscious). Most of the time I never hit back, but sometimes I did and they usually left me alone after that.

 

[Sharps92]

Na, never bullied. Always had a good group of friends, and most of the people in my year at school I am pretty cool with. Sorry to change the general tone of the thread!

 

[Ickorus]

I first started getting people picking on me when I was in my first year of middle school, I was always defending this kid who was always being bullied and was a total wuss to boot and after a while I just ended up being one of the uncool kids and people pretty much just bullied me because it was the popular thing to do. I also had long hair which gave people ammunition for some truly terrible insults (Terrible = Crap in this case).

Anyways, after a while the kid who I spent several years defending and who led me into my predicament suddenly wasn't being picked on any more; he had had a growth spurt making him larger than most other students. When this occured he decided to turn on me, the ungrateful little shit, and of course others followed him turning even more people against me.

In the end some kid got physical with me and in my anger at the knowledge that my school being completely shit wouldn't do anything about the incident I contacted the police which got the boy expelled and got me a reasonable sum of money from him in compensation.

Nobody bothered me after that, I can't imagine why.

 

[Erecting a Sentry]

My mum and dad didn't but me designer expensive clothes. About it. Bullied fuck out of for it. Funny thing is I live a bigger, cleaner and fancier house them. Funny how it works out
