Poll: Were you/Are you bullied in school?

[Legendary Alucard]

I was the bully. Apologies abound.

Im more of the Kinda guy who always bully the bullies ^^

Nothing serious really I was only insulted a couple of times I also like to think I "won" all my struggles with bullies. In 6th Grade for no reason a kid started calling me a "dork" (though if you had seen me then you might've agreed with him) however near the middle I got sick of it and started dropping f-bombs and giving him the finger he ended telling the dean that I was bullying him.
In Freshmen year a fat kid who sat next to me in science wouldn't stop making fun of me until I punched him and made him cry, that pretty much set him straight. Those are the notable examples.

Ya constantly, as I was a quiet kid it was apparently fun.
But one day I was really upset about something and the guys picked on me again, in anger grabbed one guys finger and twisted it backwards, he was immediately on his knees asking me to stop, but I was on a rage trip and *snap* dislocated his joint.

I really went too far as he still has problems with that finger, but you should never push someone to his limits.

Teased sure. My family name is ripe for teasing. Bullying in the traditional sense really did not exist in my school. There were jerks of course, but they were just jerks not bullies. It's a shame though. Part of me wishes there were bullies because I would have not stood for it. Would have made high school more fun hehe.

What is it, if you dont mind, I know someone called crowe, he's been bullied for around 8 years.

OT: this

Well I guess there's some very light, immature bullying, but that's really it, and even that happens rarely.

 

[Epic_Mushroom]

Was, for almost nine years. It was bad, though to be fair mostly it was just when the bullies found themselves in my proximity, I don't recall being stalked. Then again, it was damned near the entire freaking school. Continuation school it made it so much better.

I was bullied a lot in school. Mainly because the people didn't understand that foot plus testicle meant I wanted them to leave me alone.

 

[WOPR]

yeah... started in 1st grade, now here I am 18 in my senior year of high school and it's still going on...

I don't think people will ever learn unless they're life is put into danger

Despite being overweight, wearing glasses, acne and knee braces while going through highschool....playing Magic the Gathering, D&D, MUDS and talking all around nerdy things...I've been excepted by pretty much all social groups.

There were some kids who would initially call names, but after a week or so it wasn't uncommon for them to start to like me. People enjoy my dry humour and the fact that I treat them with respect rather than retaliate.

No thanks. Not because I'm embarrassed by it, but because I'm not too keen on revealing too much of who I am around here.

Being a bit more heavy set in my formative years, yes, i was bullied so much infact it led me into depression, however after years of struggling with it i pulled myself out and not i have a sense of humour that makes stone laugh.

I had a lot of those issues too. My dad got fed up with that shit and taught me how to do wrist locks and arm bars, basic knee,elbow strikes and told me to get it out of my system now because once I hit 14 the reaction from the school would be more severe. The next day I just walked right into the group, hit the punk with an elbow to the nose and put him in a wrist lock. End of it. Solved the problem WAY faster than trying to talk it out.
If my kid gets bullied I will teach him the same things.
If my kid IS the bully may God Almighty have mercy on his soul.

My little brother had problems with bullies and adopted a similar approach. They hounded him for years, and one day he snapped and smacked the guy so hard that he chipped his skull. Problem solved. Me... I was never built for that. Even when I got pushed that far (and I did, several times) I couldn't swing for anybody - I'd always pull my punch at the last second. I'm a fighter, but not physically. Regardless, I survived and I'm alright now - I was simply trying to relay my experience.

I was just fat so I wasnt built for it either. But that's the beauty of pressure holds as long as you have arms and they have wrists/elbows/knees/shoulders you can apply opposite pressure and take them down.
Im just glad its done with.

For a little while, but only because I let it happen. Then I manned up, fought back and it stopped.

I'll admit, I've been called a bully before, and I know I've picked on kids. But it tends to be when they're total asshats, or I know they've done something to someone else.

 

[Naheal]

I was. I attempted to fight back, but ended up getting my ass kicked. Bullying got worse.

Then I learned how to hack a person's school account. Bullying stopped.

 

[Captain Incapable]

Yes, for being one of the shy kids who never talked.

Same here except it was more of comments like: "Oh she's quite because she thinks she's better than the rest of us" or "Maybe she's emo and cuts herself at night."
I may have been shy and quiet but I also have quite the temper.

 

[Staskala]

Aside from the occasional trouble with older kids, no, I wasn't.
Actually, when someone got bullied in class I was usually "joining the fun", much to my later shame.

 

[paragon1]

Yeah, I was bullied a lot in middle school. Then I hit puberty and got a lot bigger and discovered the joys of rage. Several suspensions later, and nobody made fun of me anymore.

 

[slipbreed]

I got rocks thrown at my head and my books thrown out of the window, all because I listened to metal and played WoW.

 

[DazBurger]

Yup, I was bullied.

People found it hilarious to hit/kick me and then run away.
Guess it come with being the tallest guy in the grade, and not hitting back.



Buuut it stopped the last couples of years in school as I had gotten enough and they realized that they took more damage from a beating than I did...



For example: I was talking to a friend and this other guy just stood there, using my shoulder as a boxing ball.
I asked him to stop and he replied:"What are you gonna do about it?"
Then I buried my boot in his crotch.
It worked, he stopped hitting me... And fell over with tears in his eyes.


I hope I sterilized the bastard...

I'm Muslim so of course I was bullied, in middle and high school. Almost everyday I'd find offensive posters on my locker and there was even this huge banner that this rich kid had gone out of his way to make (still to this day shocks me) that read "Go home towel head" with a cartoon picture of a middle eastern guy on a donkey pulling a wagon of bombs and he put my face on it in the hall where my locker in Sophomore year was and people wrote all over it to add to it and then hung more stuff next to it when they ran out of space; the damn thing didn't get removed till Christmas. I endured a lot of harsh things in grade school and I always remained patient despite getting hounded, beat up, rocks thrown at me, shoved around, verbally and physically assaulted, pushed down the stairs, my stuff got thrown, etc (to name a few things). I've always been to peaceful to act violently even if I did get pushed to my limits because after all, if I raise my voice I'm a terrorist, if I disagree with an American I'm a terrorist, if I push back I'm a terrorist, if I complained or reported them I'm still a terrorist; couldn't do anything without one of those douchebags going to somebody with authority and making me look like the bad guy, especially when someone would sneak something of explosive nature among my things. Needless to say I used to have hate for Americans when I first came here for middle school. They eventually learned they couldn't break me so eventually they gave up because of my amazing patience, so glad I'm done with grade school. Although outsmarting people was fun and satisfying.
