In my primary school days, yeah I think a few times I beat someone up, lashing out people who didn't deserve it in the heat of the moment; unintentionally gave one one kid a conncussion and the other in a neckbrace, putting them both in the hospital for a short time. No derision that I recall, though I was ostracised and to some degree bullied and picked on at the time as well, but given my conduct I suppose I deserved the shit I got. Though really, I kind of write off anything that happened or that I've done before the age of 12, I was an immensely thick, obnoxious, recalcitrant, unpalatable little asshole back then, I had a very short fuse and turned belligerent quite quickly. I really regret how I behaved back in those days, it makes me surprised anyone who went to primary school with would give me the time of day after we had left. Though from the moment I reached an age, where I was capable of exerting some modicum of restraint, civility and all around acceptable behaviour, I quite firmly packed that shit in and never looked back. Never getting into anything that could realistically be construed as a fight since, didn't get bullied per se from that point either, though a lot of kids, my friends included treated me like shit throughout a lot of those years. People who continue this sort of thing into their teen years; abusing others without any remote provocation, persistently picking out one kid and picking on them until they break...that just seems ineffable to me. I just think there's a certain age people should reach where they know better, where fucking with someone purely for the purposes of their own entertainment becomes a tad questionable. I don't know, can't say I understand it...though I suppose I'm pretty unsure why I acted the way I did in my pre-teen years, though I suppose that's largely due to me suppressing those times. Bullying sucks, man. That's a weak way to end a meandering rant, but that's all I got. *shrugs*

I'm always refering to the boyfriend of that girl I like as a 'fatass',
does that count? It's totally justified, dude's always wanting to eat stuff.

No, I don't think I have. I can't really fathom wanting to inflict cruelty on someone else for my own enjoyment. Ranting and expressing your dislike of someone is one thing, but bullying is downright shameful. I was on the receiving end while growing up, but I could never understand why people chose to be so nasty.

I had an... unpleasant experience with bullying up until my second year of High School. After that, everything has been fine for me in that regard. As for me doing it myself... I don't really think I have, though I will certainly admit that I have a tendency to force or influence situations to follow paths or outcomes that I desire. But... that isn't really bullying, is it?

I'm not a psychiatrist or anything, but I'm guessing that it's animal instinct in a way. Why do you think highschoolers are always being compared to animals? People will do whatever they can to be the top dog in their pack, even if it means being cruel to others. It doesn't mean we all enjoy it (sadly some do) but rather hate ourselves for later on in life. I hate myself everyday for the cruelty I showed to that girl I picked on.
