Do I want to know what you mean by vanilla assault?Serenegoose said:Yeah, quite badly at one point, I had to change schools - then later, it was really bad because I was bullied by kids at OTHER schools because I had to share the bus with them to go home.
At various times I had...
Rubbish tipped over me
Several people scrawling over my face with pens
people trying to forcibly pierce me
Others taped my mouth and stamped on my ankles
Most settled for vanilla assault en masse.
I really, truly, wish I was kidding.
Vanilla, as in the ice cream flavour, so I just mean the 'plain' kind. You know, punches, kicks, just assault in its simplest form.gamerguy473 said:Do I want to know what you mean by vanilla assault?
Thats terrible. Most of my bullying was psychological. In addition to having Tourette's syndrome, I also had trichotillomania, a form of OCD that causes constant hair pulling. So I had a bald spot through a lot of school and I got a lot of crap for it.Serenegoose said:Vanilla, as in the ice cream flavour, so I just mean the 'plain' kind.

I know exactly what you mean. I have Tourette's syndrome and ADD, and I can tell you, elementary and middle school were hell. The bullying started to drop off in the 8th grade, and I was actually a relatively popular individual in high school, but good lord did the early years suck.gamerguy473 said:Inspired by the other bully thread.
When I was in grade school I had a pretty bad case of Tourette's syndrome. It was hard. I would constantly twitch, tap my fingers, or cough loudly. And I got a really hard time about it constantly. For discussions sake, where does 'boys being boys' turn into bullying?
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.Serenegoose said:Yeah, quite badly at one point, I had to change schools - then later, it was really bad because I was bullied by kids at OTHER schools because I had to share the bus with them to go home.
