Poll: Were you/Are you bullied in school?

[Serenegoose]

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.

it's the past dude. We all did things we are ashamed of. Even I am guilty of some. Granted I wasn't the bully and nearly got panted twice. But I did some things I ain't to proud of

Yeah. I'm slowly atoning for past misdeeds, I suppose.

In high school, I sometimes got picked on for being from Georgia. This was in Southern California, where I guess the South must be perceived as completely backwards. It didn't really bother me that much, as by that point I'd learned to roll with the punches pretty well. It eventually stopped altogether when I made friends with a bunch of greasers and old-school punks (my school had weird cliques). All in all, some mild teasing, but nothing I couldn't handle.

I was bullied all through grade school from grade 1 to 12. I'm still living with a lot of the effects such as rather poor self esteem and very little confidence. Now that I'm in university people just ignore me...I don't know what is worse really.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Yes, very badly, but I've whined about it before and don't really feel like doing so again.

Suffice it to say that with three years and therapy, I've reached the level of 'high functioning autistic' on the scale of social interaction.

I was voted 'most unique' all four years for high school yearbook, so you can imagine that in grade school I got picked on a lot. However a lot of it just didn't really bother me, or I just thought it was dumb. For example, my name is Alison, and when we watched Alice in Wonderland they started calling me Alison Wonderland. My only reply was 'that's dumb that's not even the title'. So even though I was weird they left me alone for the most part since I never played their game.

I was bullied up until my junior year of High school, they even started a rumor I was going to shoot up the school. I got a 2 days suspension when they "investigated" and searched me because they found a knife on my fingernail clipper. everyone thought I was expelled. my parents threw a huge shit storm over it because these kids had been bullying me since I was in elementary school, and the district never once did anything about it. my parents threatened to sue the school district and inform the media unless my suspension was removed from my record and the kids got dealt with. all 5 of them were kicked out of sports and other school activities for the remainder of the year, and the school put in new bullying guidelines into their teacher handbook thing. I am now a college graduate and those fuckwads are delivering pizzas and doing other remedial work because when it boiled down to it they are nobodies.

I guess I always seemed like an easy target, I was bullied from elementary til middle school. Then I snapped and attacked one of the bullies. It was out of school so there wasn't any punishment, and he wouldn't want to admit he was beat up by a girl half his size. After that everyone else thought I was going to be a serial murder and left me alone ofter that, unfortunately that means I have 0 social skills.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Aside from occasional dickheads, not really.

I've learned how to avoid them for the most part, these days.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

I got bullied, I fought back eventually and scared the other bullies off. End of story. Defend yourself, they'll leave you alone if you aren't an easy target. Thats part of life. Own yourself don't let them own you.

 

[smurf_you]

I was bullied from K-11... then only mildly in 12, but most of the bullying directed at me was verbal... why you may ask? Because I was shy, had (have) horrible people skills, and preferred reading over kicking around different coloured sports equipment.... the only reason it started slowing down in grade 12 was because I was starting to grow into my sarcasm gene and learning to use it right.

 

[Nazulu]

I was bullied all the time and then I turned into a bully because I got sick of being bullied. How does that work you say? Well, the bully's in my high school just wanted you to be more like them instead of being your own individual.

One day, about half-way through year 11, I decided to go back to my original self (not judging others and being an ass). It was mainly because my psychology teacher described in great detail why bully's bully and I could relate. After that, I just wanted to mature.

I stopped getting bullied myself by telling them I would tell the teacher, they tried to tell me that would make me a wuss but it stopped them. Even if they had said they would bully me more, I would've responded "then your just going to get yourself even into more shit".

 

[SargeGO]

Yes, I am being bulled almost everyday in school by some jackasses due to me being a gamer and a little big. At my old school I punched a kid for calling me fat, but I can't do it because I do not want to be expelled, because at my school if you start the fight you get expelled.
