Why is bullying still an issue?

[Zack Alklazaris]

No idea, I was bullied all through out grade school. I found that fighting back was a good fix. The teachers generally understood my position and I would get suspended for a few days, but never expelled. Stating that why the bully may of "deserved it" it is no excuse for violence.

The schools can only do so much. What they need is an enforcer. A cop thats just is to patrol the halls. My high school had one. Not only are they a good defense in case someone decides to shoot up the place, but most bullies turn into little babies when a cop drags them out of class.

Unfortunately, that high school also had its very own district (all school taxes in that area went to that school and that school only) and was quite rich for a public school. Most schools couldn't afford such luxuries. Especially these days.

People need to stop being a bunch of pansies and fight back. I mean what drives someone into suicide or a school shooting spree. Opposed to just closing your fist and smashing the shitface bully in the face. Or if you are too weak, maybe hire someone even. I don't care, but all i know is i do not respect the idiot who committed a shooting or suicide at all, especially over something as silly as bullying.

Worst way to deal with this situation, ever.
Kids minds are not that bloody big, and thus won't be strong willed. And in this state you can be more likely to become a murderer, its just true. You can look at how we tell why serial killers... Well, kill. Many times its something from their childhood.

You spend 8 hours in a room with these bullies, 8 hours with them, and more then likely, the teacher won't stop them from bullying you. So it becomes a personal hell. Kids won't punch a bully in the face because your spending 8 hours in hell, it loses point when you only get two days away from the assholes, then five with them. Its a simple principle, when you are dealing in hell for a year, and have kids fucking with you, one punch doesn't matter because your still outnumbered by bully, and likely, its more then one kid.

Trust me, I bloody fought myself from playing hangman in real life, and it becomes a prison, personal hell. Very few times did a teacher try to help, and very little they did when they did help. I had to get pulled from a school because I was thinking of bringing a knife one day.

What? The fact is, if you are ready to kill yourself. You have nnothing to lose, so why not make the kid suffer who was making you suffer. Beat his skull in with a wrench, maybe even just kill him if you are so inclined to do so. But maybe try to get away with it just for the thrill. Become the joker later in life.

This is to where you just seem idiotic, whats the point, you have about 5 other kids doing the same thing, and when depressed you lose all feeling to do anything. You have nothing to try and explain since you don't seem to care to change. This is exactly why kids suicide or go on a killing spree, because the adults will only tell you to "suck it up" or to "punch them in the jaw" but that doesn't solve the problem, and you already know that you shouldn't do those things.

Then its natural selection. Might be sick to say, but if they are weak willed enough to give up, then GIVE UP and kill yourself.

I am sorry but i feel as if im strong willed enough to go down in a blaze of glory. I'd sooner die trying to hurt the person trying to hurt me before killing myself.

Alright, you are allowed to say that once you have been a child and these conditions have been met: (mind you this isnt a personal assault, this is perspective, so dont fly off the hook, okay? last time I explained something through this message I got reported because the narcissist twit thought everything here concerned him specifically.)
"1: go to a school where you sit in the same room with the same people all day.
2: have all or most of those same people hate you for being you.
3: have them constantly remind you of it.
4: have the teacher turn a blind eye or only ever take action at your retaliation.
5:Have the kids remind you how pathetic your meaningless life is, sitting behind a comuter all day with justin biebs as your avatar (what are you, gay?)
6: hear the words "You are shit." said to your face everyday knowing you cant really fight back because they have the majority on their side.
7:remember: "you are shit"
8: go home and wish somebody would treat you like a person.
9:cry yourself to sleep everyday
10: wake up and force yourself to go back to that place all over again tomorrow/
11:remember: you are shit
12: get reminded how pointless your life is (but im sure your life in WoW is soooo much better right? Dork...)
13: have I ever told you how big a piece of shit you are lately?
14: did we mention the beatings? yeah at least once a week when nobody is looking.
15: "so I just threw a couple rotten bananas in the little shits locker"
16: you are shit
17: the teacher doesnt care about shit
18: the teacher likes those mean kids better
19: you = shit
20: this is your life, shit.
21: shit
22: shit
23: go die, little shit."

Okay, yea its a little abstract, but that is basically the thought process of kids who get bullied. It is there life, because school, to them is the mecca of social relationships etc. its where kids are defined by peers. This can make or break a person at that age of development. And if nothing is there to reinforce them as a person, how can they ever become "strong"?

((And yes, I know that is what the thought process of a kid that age is because that kid was me. Except I didnt play WoW))

EDIT: again, not trying to "make the scales fall from your eyes" (cookies for reference) or anything. Im just saying, the whole issue goes sooooooo much deeper than simply "Student A< Student B" thinking.
