were you ever bullied in school?

[Chatato]

Bullied in primary school really it was one of those circle logic things like: Get called spastic > Get annoyed >Get called Spastic.
Got to high school, everybody here is pretty ace now , I was bullied in year 7 however now I'm on a state of mutual not giving a shit with the bullies, I'm pretty much friends with all of the non-dick guys in my year, and the dicks won't bother me, and some of them I'm friends with (Bar a few, except those are the sort of people who have slept in the school and lit the rubbish bin on fire, but even they won't bother me that much).
To be honest I have it pretty good compared to some of my friends, one is bullied a lot even by some of his friends (In one case they lit his backyard on fire and messed up his house preeeeety bad) ,another one was pretty popular in year 7 however now he's just kinda awkward and is hated by most of the dicks, some of my friends are pretty screwed next year, most of them have pretty much alienated themselves from everybody not in their friend groups (Read: Calling all girls chat/ugly and calling all guys wierd/faggots) and our classes are getting jumbled up next year, so yeah, I guess that's kinda his fault though.

Was bullied, did bully, then I just stopped existing.
I was bullied in school cuz I was Asian. Maybe not "bullied" but more hurt because of racist comments.

Then, i became the popular girl in my early teens, and bullied girls that just werent cool.
In college, I just got downright depressed and didnt make any friends or have human contact, so no one knows me and could not be bullied by me.

I think the best way to not get bullied is to have people know that you are psycho. They only bully people who they know will react in the way they expect them to.

However, once you are an "adult" bullying can happen from a multitude of angles.
Only now we call it "harrasment".
One of my former workplace was a nightmare. I was again detached so was not involved but its just sickening to know that some people never grow out of that crap.

 

[BabyRaptor]

In elementary school, yeah. The popular girl of our age group hated my guts for whatever reason, so those few years were hell.

Junior high was just kinda there. I spent most of it by myself reading.

High school was pretty painless for me because I made friends with a lot of people in the higher grades through church, and by the time they were all gone, I was a Senior myself.

years 1 - 9: Bulling was constant.
Then, suddenly, I stopped being sad and started being confident and awesome.

Since then, no one layed a finger on me. Good times.

I was bullied big time. Probably the two crowning moments were when I was quite literally kicked across the bus stop. I remember flying through the air and then my saxophone case landing on top of me. And the other time was when I was quite literally used as a doormat in my first year. I was pretty small in my first year of secondary school and the main building of the school got pretty busy before classes so I got knocked over in the hustle and people were literally walking on my back until a teacher noticed me.

 

[Hamish Durie]

first year of highschool no one from my old school went to my new school
I tried to make friends but nathan left in second term and Tunky left shortly after :/ didn't have a leg to stand on which didn't help because bullies are like hyenas in the fact that they always go for the weakest link.
year 9 is on the way and I have my own little circle of about 5 people from different classes and years so I geuss i'm pretty good off.....ecept most of them are leaving the country of going to other schools.
oh right bullying
yeah 6 foot and 80kg (mabye 13 of that is fat) broke a door with my fist and.....well I wouldn't say friends but friendly with the large group of tongan boys at the school

 

[Andothul]

I wouldn't say i got bullied, i was originally one of the most popular asshole kids in school but i got really depressed because of the death of my father and i started acting really emo weird, and gained some weight.

It was at that point that i was harassed for a bit but it wasn't that bad looking back on it especially compared to some kids these days.

In fact it only lasted for about 2 years 8th grade and freshman year in High School and around sophomore year i started becoming the popular kid again.

I thought i was being bullied at the time but looking back on it as an adult i realize that much of the stuff i got over sensitive about and that i was an asshole in school so i probably deserved some of it.
By the end of senior year i was liked by just about everyone and was welcome in any clique and all i did was change my attitude and treated people with kindness and respect.

Ive found that in life those two things will get you the farthest with people.

So yeah i was a bully that realized the error of his ways after being on the other side of it.

sorry, wrong thread

Luckily for me when I was in school I was in the "middle" territory: I wasn't considered a "geek" but I wasn't a "popular" either, I was in the position where I could talk to either sides and be treated in a decent manner.

A few times I would get caught out talking with my fellow gamers about some stuff that happened on Neverwinter Nights/WoW/Counter-Strike and a popular would over hear and poke a little fun but never anything serious nor any re-occurring insults.

School is a funny experience...

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

I was a very smart boy growing up in a private parochial school filled with spoiled rich kids.
I spent most of my time discussing world issues and sciences with my teachers and other people who were usually three times my age.
I would interject into conversations whenever one of my fellow peers would have questions that I knew the answer to. (Such as why do wheels appear to spin backwards after a certain speed)

Naturally this made me a lively target to be bullied. Throughout most of grade school I was picked on and forced into actions I didn't want to be in. I remember once being dragged in the parking lot during recess forced down on the ground and getting kicked during recess. I remember playing ball by myself and having them kick it away from me followed by a smile whenever it bounced to close to other people. Blamed for things I didn't do. And of course the usual mental bullying. (You stupid, you have no friends, your worthless, go die, etc) (Just to name a few things) I hated every bit of it and eventually, around age 11, I had to be put on suicide watch.

High School was surprisingly much better, I still got picked on now and then, but for the most part I was left alone. I convinced my parents to send me to a public school. I met similar "Nerds" or other people who were considered "Cool" who stuck up for me and defended me. But most of it was unneeded. The school was very liberal and I was free to be myself for the most part. I am very happy I ended up in that school as by then my "smarts" had turn me into a smart ass and I constantly came off as gay from the way I dressed and acted.

Bullying seems to be like a bad marriage, sure you can escape it for a little while, but eventually you have to come back. It can end up being both physically and mentally draining. I feel bad for anyone that has to go through with it and really wish this world would do more to protect children as well as adult from this form of assault.

GRRrrr.... got me all riled up now.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Nope. The one incident that might count as bullying was when I stepped on a kid's sneakers and he tried to stare me down, but his girlfriend promptly arrived to emasculate him for "Picking on the shy kid.". ^_^

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

In Elementary school I was that weird kid who was obsessed with Pokemon. In middle school a real-life version of Butters from South Park. In high school...well, that was fine for the most part. I hung out with the "loser" kids, but we kept to ourselves and no one really bothered us.

So yes, I spent most of my childhood as the frail wimpy kid that never stood up for himself. But I worked past these issues a long, long time ago.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Yeah, I was bullied. I moved to another place because I was bullied at the old one when I had just started school. I got bullied there to, but I had more friends so it was better anyway. I was bullied in later on in high school too and on university level, by a bunch of dipshits. So yeah, I've been bullied I just learned to fight back.

 

[SarcasmoPope]

One time someone called me a ******.

 

[DanielBrown]

Not really bullied, but I often had to stand my ground against some douches in my class. Always lost though since I was pretty tiny. Then I grew up to be almost two meters tall I was never bothered again. Can be related to the fact that I beat the shit out of one of the bullies as well.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

I was bullied a LOT in middle school.. But then I got into High School.. Found a group of friends.. And learned Krav Maga... I then proceeded to beat the shit out of a bully.. and then it stopped.. Funny that...

 

[Qitz]

No, never.

I'm 16ft tall, weigh 23 tons of pure muscle, can throw blue whales in the air 1000ft with my pinky finger, eat Tanks and wipe my ass with Male Alpha Grizzly Bears. Why else do you think their Brown?

Needless to say I was the sexual desire of every person in that school, man, woman, teacher, student, mouse, cockroach, WHATEVER!

Now you may be thinking "Yeah right, none of that is true" well your WRONG! Go ahead and try and prove it! You're just jealous is all.

I was bullied in elementary school. I went to Catholic school and by the time 5th grade rolled around there were only 9 students in my grade. Out of the 9, there were 5 boys. Three of the boys ganged up on me and the other kid. One time they were making fun of me being adopted (I know, fucked up huh?) and I tacked one of them. Felt good, even though I had to write bible passages.

My parents told the school about it, but they never did anything about it.

I left the school when we graduated 5th grade, and was never bullied again. When I got older and went to public school, two of my bullies went to public school as well. I was cooler than they were and now when I tell people I was bullied by those two people laugh and think I was joking.The third bully was my best friend growing up, and him and I were never close after that. I still hang out with him here and there and all is forgiven.
