In my Elementary school, things were the worst because it was a school of grades 1-8, and every class had recess at the same time. Therefore, the first and second graders pretty much got beat up every day. I was one of the only ones who fought back, and by the time I was in second grade they didn't wanna bother with me because I was more difficult to subdue than most, and because I'd help out my friends and such.
Middle school I was pretty much the invisible kid aside from a couple people who would constantly bother me until I shoved them on the floor like most people here did, and then they stopped.
High school, all the little cliques started to become more and more exclusive and you could stereotype nearly everyone in the school. I only got bullied for being around someone else, though. Like some jock sees me hanging out with someone who's apparently his girlfriend who's sitting at the goth table trying to avoid him...It was stupid. By 11th grade I realized that most people are all talk and no show, so I started to just spit back in their faces and be the one cracking the jokes because it didn't really matter anymore. 12th grade I went back to some of the kids who screwed with me earlier and punched them in the face.
Biggest regret is that I didn't stand up for myself as much as I should have, but I advise people to just fight back even if your parents tell you not to, because there was a time where I was choked and decided to not fight back because I didn't want to get suspended, and I really wanted to beat the living hell out of the kid, but I figured I'd act as the 'better man.' What happened was both of us were suspended for the same amount of time, with the same referral: "Physical confrontation." Pretty lame.
College, everyone seems much more relaxed/laid back and tolerant, so I can go for an IT degree and still be cool.

I was bullied till about 12 years old. Then I got fed up and punched my first bully square in the nose. Blood exploded all over the place and he ran screaming. After that I figured out that I did not have to take that shit any more. I lost some fights and won some, but I never backed down ever again.
Reading this thread makes me wish I'd had the courage to do what some people here have done to those people who bullied me. Too late now though. It makes me feel good reading this and seeing that at least a few people managed to completely break out of the cycle.
I was bullied up until 10th grade. at about that point people started to fear me because I was dragged out of school thrown in a cop car and hauled off to county mental health for a couple of things I had written due to depression.
11th and 12th grades were quite boring for me.

When I was in Junior High some high school dude kept calling me a fag then he would hang around me and insult me for a while one day I asked him why he felt it necessary to hang around and insult me all the time and he replied "because I like talking to fags." so I told him he should just go talk to his father. Since he was 2 feet taller than me and outweighted me by probably 40 pounds I think you know how this story ends. (I'm not homosexual by the way he just liked calling me that for some reason, wishful thinking maybe.)
Being a kid is hard. I was never bullied on because I understood the mechanics of social activity. If you don't bully a little bit people think you are entirely vulnerable and start picking on you. I was always more of a popular kid.
Bullied relentlessly. My dad was an unemployed alcoholic and my mom was not around. Consequently I was the poor kid in school. And for this I was singled out by all those more wealthy than me(everyone) as a target. Apparently theres no point to having money if there are no poor people to lord it over, and physically attack for being destitute scum. I was also seriously skinny and weak at school.
It's not like that anymore though, I am now six feet two inches tall and I'm carrying sixteen stone of muscle. I often wish that I could bump into a few of those people now, so that I can pull their arms off and beat them to death with the soggy end. Make them know how it feels to be treated like shit and abused.

There where only two times when I could consider that I was bullied. But one of those the guy got a carefully thrown rock in the face ending up with two stitches. About the other, he was hit by a car the next day.
My comment on both occasions was: "I love it when shit piles up like that"

No, I was much bigger than all the other kids. (Usually the tallest/biggest in my class). I was kind of a bully myself though, sort of.
Usually, I stepped in when another kid was being picked on beat up the bully and than got in trouble. I never cared cuz in my mind I did the right thing helping the kids being picked on. I read way to many comics books as a kid.
I grew up to be a cop...

While I may have never been physically bullied, I still went through some verbal bullying when I was in like Grade 1-2. Then again, I couldn't speak english well so I couldn't defend myself. I remember this one time, this girl was being a ***** and she stole my seat on the computer (a very horrible thing to do back then 
). I ended up getting in trouble cause I told the girl to move...stupid teacher...Right now though, I'm able to confront people if they are bullying someone else and I can defend myself fairly well. I'm not easily intimidated so if someone tries to bully me it'll have to be verbally...

Oh yeah. And I was pretty messed up for a while because of it.
I copped it pretty bad in lower highschool and higher primary school. I often got into fights with people who picked on me, towards the end of highschool though I became somewhat popular. It was odd as people that had previously picked on me were very scared of my influence, and as such kept well out of my way.
