Little shits who think the're tough.

[Zhukov]

So we responded how any typical person should respond. One person yanked his bag away and tossed it into a puddle.

So you and some friends managed the mighty feat of grabbing some kid's bag and throwing it in a puddle eh? A kid who, by your own description, was about half your size. Huh.
Suffice to say, you sound rather pleased with yourself.

Some may call it bullying, we call it showing sombody where their place is.

Y'know, from my perspective, those sound like the words of a little kid who thinks he is tough.

Just saying.

 

[Worgen]

part of it is that if your a little kid then taking on someone bigger then you can really only end well for you, either you get them to leave and earn respect from your little idiot friends or they beat you up and they have only beaten up a little kid and you still get kudos for taking a beating

When sensing a disturbance in the natural order of things, introduce the heel of your palm to their nose before they finish the first insult. Problem solved. Repeat as necessary.

 

[The Last Nomad]

Yeah, there's loads of little shits like the one you described in the town I live in...
I could explain but I feel this video says more than I ever could:

 

[Urgh76]

one 7th grader opened the door to the stairway and yelled MOO!!!!! right in my face. So wanting to not pummel him and cause a ruckus and show that he was still being a moron. i just lightly bonked him on the head. He grabs my shirt and says YOU BEST NOT DO THAT AGAIN!!

this is my face (not actual but what it was like)

Spoiler

my "who the fuck do you think you are?" face

Here in the States we have 3 schools so the largest gap is between kindergarden and 5th grade. For this reason I've never had a problem with being bullied by older kids, and I've never really seen any aside from a few occurances in middle school.

I don't think its bullying, It may have been a kid and if it was an adult they would have just ignored them or informed their parents, however I remember back to my days at school, if you let some year 7 get the best of you then your going to be the laughing stock of the school, everyone will try it on with you. Its not really bullying if the year 7 started it, I would says it bullying if the older kids were the aggressors and the year 7 did nothing to provoke the reaction, however the year 7 clearly started it and was doing it to get attention and try it on.

What i would've done is

That kid was a real douche though

Oh, kids are so cute today, aren't they? Little nobs.

Me and my mates used to play mind games with them. It's much more rewarding then beating the shit out of them, only just about...

For example, a group of three of us once got called 'gaybos', and then asked what our names were. As we have the same sense of humour, it took us about 3 seconds to pick up on what we were doing and roll with it:

Kid: What's you name?
Me (named Chris): Tom.
Kid: And yours?
Tom: George.
Kid: You?
George: Chris.
Kid: Chris, do you bum Tom?
Tom: Nah, Chris wouldn't like it.
Me: Too true.
Kid: Eh? Stay out of it puff.
George: Don't talk to George like that. Touchy, isn't he? Think he's going through puberty.
Tom: Think he's got pubs Tom.

Basically, we kept it up for about 5 minutes before the little snot understood he was on a loosing battle. I love mind games...

 

[wrightry]

I'm in exactly the same situation (minus one of them deciding to try to beat me up or some shit like that). 7th graders at my school are obnoxious dipshits. I totally applaud you for your reaction and I think we're all at a point where we need to realize that all 7th graders suck.

 

[Urgh76]

i think i have found the reason of all this crap

 

[wizzerd229]

I go to a privet school, PreK-12th, and I'm in 11th grade, well the worst i get from 7th graders is all the guys calling me babe, I'm a dude. I want to smack them upside the head, but I, but i don't because then, i would get in so much truble

Strip away the Anonymity and Audience part and you have a pretty good description of a startling amount at my school.

If you ever want to hurt a year 7 and make it look like an accident get them when playing football, i.e. a bad foul or blast a ball into their face, you mentioned a private school so not sure if football is popular if not Rugby is even better.

Not really done it myself but back when me and my mates were in year 11 back in the day one of the did it to some little shit who had been annoying us all day.

Him - Blasts ball into face
Kid - ARGGHH what the hell you do that for!!!! (crying & whimpering)
him - sorry kid was an accident (laughing lol)

Well, I generally don't react, because having been the punchbag for a few hundred or so of my peers has desensitized me to the harmless little shits, and the big ones leave me alone because I've been adopted by the metalheads, but it has happened on occasion, like the time a kid started swearing at me because of my long hair, repeatedly telling me I was a 'fucking ******' and should get it cut. The little shit kept it up all the way through town (we got on the same train and went to the same school) getting louder and louder as I didn't react, until suddenly I pivoted on one foot and decked him with a punch to the face in the space of about a second. He left me alone after that.
However fun that one was, the most fun was when somebody was walking behind me, deliberately kicking my ankles, and his mates were all laughing. One of them decides to be cocky and, without warning, jumps on my back. I said nothing, went dead weight and landed on him and one of the boys who was directly behind me. Again, they decided to keep their distance, choosing to insult me behind my back, which frankly I could care less about.

 

[Robz_Defheadz]

I used to have this problem. I dont have it anymore. You see as i aged up i developed what everyone calls a criminal face. I scowl a lot and look like i'm going to thump people when i look at them. I dont even mean to do it.

 

[Caliostro]

Two questions:

- Why do they bother you so much?
and
- Why didn't you just curb stomp the first idiot that annoyed you?

 

[Not Lord Atkin]

yes, and this kind of things still hapens to me now.
I remember lots of rude and overly brave underclassmen back from when I was at the elementary, but what really shocked me lately was a pre-school kid who barely knew how to talk, who called me a dick and told me to "get the fuck out of there" as I was passing by on a pavement. I'm 18.

 

[The Eggplant]

Honestly, I've always felt like a bit of a dick myself whenever I respond to the faux-badassery of little tiny scrubs, given that by doing so I'm basically becoming the big bad oppressor. But the way I see it, it's like fire ants...you can tolerate their nips for a while, but there come a time when you just have to squish a few. Case in point:

So I'm a freshman in college now, therefore officially making me a little scrub, but back when I was in high school there was this one little twat who really got under my skin. He was "tough." He was "all that." He was "gangsta." He wore Ed Hardy, had his hat on sideways, his pants on backwards...ho yuss, he was the shit and he damn well knew it. He was also about five foot and had a tiny squeaky little voice, which meant that whenever he looked someone up and down as he passed them in the hallways, he was really pretty much looking them up and more up.

Now, I was--and still am--pretty introverted. I have a circle of very close friends, and while I'm by no means a social misfit, I don't exactly go out of my way to make friends with every lunkhead I see. I guess I must have met Mr. Small But Mighty at some point and conveyed that vibe to him, because he made it his personal agenda to prove his magnificent awesomeness to me to show me what I was missing by not being in his "crew." He did this largely by throwing food at me and shoving me in the hallways--or, more accurately, shoving my bookbag and bouncing off it. This goes on for about half a year (let it never be said that I don't give assholes a chance), before reaching a head in maybe March of my senior year, when the gormless little fuck drops his half-empty container of OJ in front of me a lunch, wrecking a paper of my friend's I was editing.

To be honest, I don't look terribly imposing. I'm 6'5", yeah, but I'm significantly under 200lbs and have never had the type of body that puts on visible masses of muscle when I work out. That said, I do work out--daily--and I can bench-press almost 300lbs. Little bastard never had a chance. Grabbed him, slammed him onto the table, then threw him back onto the floor. Then made him print out a new copy of my friend's essay for me. I didn't see him once for the remaining two months of my senior year. Did I feel like a bit of a bully? Yeah. Was it amazingly cathartic and do I wish him nothing but continued pain for the rest of his meaningless and hopefully short existence? Yeah. Do I carry grudges? ...Nahhhh.
