Poll: Were you/Are you bullied in school?

[Shockolate]

Nope.

I flew largely under the radar throughout my school years, but had a very good reputation (IE Smart, Athletic, Nice, Funny)

 

[RooftopAssassin]

I'm at a loss for what to answer. In elementary and middle school, I was bullied quite often. Now, in high school, not so much.

 

[Feste the Jester]

nope, teased yes and dish plenty of that out myself, but bullied. never.

 

[kjrubberducky]

I was teased and made fun of, for being quiet, antisocial, and always having my nose in a book, but I didn't mind.

I wouldn't say I was bullied or anything, but the fact that I was 5'11" by the end of 6th grade, and went to a predominately Hispanic high school where I had a foot or more on my classmates probably had something to do with it.

 

[David_G]

Nope, I have a pretty good reputation at school. Feels good, man.

 

[loppopoo]

Never physically, never anything verbally that wasn't really true...
So no.

 

[Verkain]

I was bullied for being a computer nerd and for the fact that since I went to four different high schools I was always the new kid.

 

[Firehopper]

The only reason I was bullied was because I was skinny as, and went to an all boys school that prided itself on its sports teams, and since I wasn't sporty I didn't click with the jocks. But now I can rest easy knowing that they are in a dead end job with some sort of drug addiction while I'm at uni being awesome.

Go me

I was bullied a bit in primary school, and both high schools I've been to so far are all girls' schools, so I went through a bit of verbal/online bullying too. I was already resigned to the fact that most people are shit, though, so I don't think I was too badly affected by it. I don't think I was bullied because I was really weird, even though I am. It was more because I could be bullied. Now, I don't put up with it, I accept who I am, and so there's little that people can say to me that I would see as bullying.

 

[Tourette]

No. I was in a position to help the bullied as I hate bullies. I bullied the bullies so to speak until they stopped.

 

[ottenni]

I was during primary school. In the end i decided i would rather be the bully than be bullied. All of primary school consisted of me switching between bullying people and befriending the people who i was bullying because i felt bad and being bullied as a result.

High school was so much better.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I was bullied from year 2 to year 8 in school. Eventually I just figured out the pyschlogy of the bullies well enough to figure out how to stop this and haven't been picked on since. I got over it pretty quick after that.

 

[Vault101]

Can't say I was but there's also the issue of being on the lower end of the social status spectrum, people who don;t end up with many freinds

one person i knew was insanley annoying and a real pain the ass (she hated me as well, I think she liked to vent her frustrations on me) but I felt sorry for her as she was one of those peopel you kind of "put up with" and I knew she was often unhappy

thank god I don;t feel like I have to play the social game anymore, not worth the trouble

 

[God's Clown]

I was in like second grade, bullied that is. Then I punched one of them in the stomach and he cried. Nobody really bullied me after that.

 

[daftskull]

i'm gay so yes i was bullied throughout high school

 

[Wardnath]

In pre-primary, I got beaten up by the primary kids (i.e. years 1-7), they would often take my glasses (which I no longer wear) and toss 'em all across the place.

The pre-primary kids weren't much better, unfortunately, but I can't remember half of what happened in that time period.

I'd like to think the primary years were easily the best in my schooling life; I was easily able to join in with most games and no-one really had a go at me. Okay, someone did manage to get me to melt down, I think, but that was really about it.

Fuck high school. I can barely think of a truly decent moment in high school anymore, it fucking sucked. I was excluded to the fucking max, there were rumours spread about me that I was gay, during the later years they would often sexually harass me (yes, you read that right), my uniform was at one point thrown in the urinal during a sports class... ugh, it just fucking sucked. I'm fucking glad to be out of there, there's just too many bad fucking memories.

Edit: Oh, and I was physically weaker than literally everyone else so standing up for myself would've done little good.

 

[Tonythion]

Pfft bullied because people THOUGHT I was gay, people also bullied me because they thought I was the opposite gender. Bullied physically and mentally. Then high school came, I was still pretty small (5'0") but I didn't take it anymore, spoke out and threatened people. It also helps to know big guys in a gang haha.
