Worst case of bullying you have seen or heard of?

[JasonBurnout16]

I have had a gang of older lads corner me into the trees at our old middle school (now shut down for demolition) and threaten to rape me. One beat sharp branches across my legs to immobilise me. If it wasn't for a passing teacher who spotted one lad near the edge of the trees, i dread to think what else could have happened. When i told the teacher the main boy denied the assault or threat and was still aloud in the school and he still tormented me.

My life has had tonnes of bullying through the years. I have let them get to me but am finally fighting back. Many of the highschool bullies are pregnant or have had kids early... Proves already im slightly better.

Wow...just wow. I can't even begin to imagine how you felt, sorry you had to go through that, but I'm glad they are slowly getting whats theirs.

Bad thing about this though guys, is that some poor children are going to be brought up with some horrible people, and I dread to think what they could have to go through...

I mean some people who threaten and terrorise someone that badly are now in charge of a little child's life? It makes you think, it really does =/

The worst I've ever seen? Myself being bullied, all the way from kindergarten to my second year in college (first year was a blessing because I did a nerdy course, only time I ever felt at home, with like-minded people).

At the height of the bullying, I was threatened by a knife, abandoned by the only 2 people I thought who were my friends (after said threatening they just laughed really loud and ran away, leaving me alone), forced to say horrible things about other kids, for which I was mocked and shunned even more obviously, and just punched in the face without any provocation whatsoever.

The few times I retaliated (****-punted a horrible girl who's main goal it was to set people up against me and threaten me with her taekwando lessons, and don't bullshit me about that "you don't hit girls" crap, she had it coming), I was punished for it, while my bullies were left unpunished. No one helped me, no one stood up for me, I was truly and totally alone.

When high school arrived, I thought things would get better, but the bullying continued in that typical teenage form (made a social pariah, mocked for everything, etc) up to a point that I was ready to commit suicide, which I nearly did.

My first year in college was better, I finally had people I could talk to about topics I liked as well. It wasn't perfect, I was still considered weird in quite a few things and mocked a bit, but at least I was no longer a pariah like before. And then I was forced to leave the only place I ever called home, went to a new college to do a different course and the bullying started all over again.

That was last year, I dropped out of that course too (I just couldn't take being alone at that place) and am now in a badly paying job, stuck in a village in which I am no longer mocked, but simply ignored. I'm saving to start a new life abroad, hopefully with the only person I truly réally ever connected to. That is, if my parents don't break my spirit before that time, I hope not, but I'll just keep working towards that goal. Can't give up now, I just hope I'm not beaten down before I can complete it.

I couldn't begin to write about all my experiences with bullies in school. I moved to the suburbs from a poor city area in middle school and was automatically disliked for being poor.

I will tell you this.

Two of my school bullies have died in the ten years since graduation. One in a motorcycle wreck and the other from a drug overdose. Do you know what I felt and still feel to this day?

Amusement. That's how much I hated them, and hence- how nasty it was.

You know what. I would probably have the exact same reaction when my ex-bully finally takes a dirt nap.

 

[Zaksav91]

I was bullied in school so much so when I hear about others going through the same thing I feel really bad for them. But some of the more extreme cases (the cases where people want to commit suicide because of it) I just can't comprehend those imo our the worst cases of the schoolyard bullying. If people say that bullying can't get THAT bad then they need to wake up, it can get that bad. I should know.

 

[fuckwit]

Im not sure why Im admitting this so readily as its a ver personal matter- but from the ages of 9-12 I was sexually abused by a boy my own age and his older brother, who was in his late teens. wich progressed to full rape. I late found out when I told my parents that this kid was being forced by his brother to finding ways of bringing me to the house and doing stuff that i wont mention- but sex acts that would be considered extremly twisted and humiliating by most twisted adults. I was constantly told i was gay and had to accept it- and this is what gay boys do. It utterly fucked me up and i still see a therapist over it.

There are no words...I'm so sorry for what happened to you.

 

[Xanadeas]

Almost every day of my life from second grade till I graduated. EVERY FUCKING DAY. There were a couple occasions where I would have gladly killed every last one of the little bastards that made my life a living hell. I still think about it too. What I wouldn't give for ten minutes alone with them in a small, sound-proofed room.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Don't know if it counts but my girlfriend gets attacked a lot because of her sexual orientation. I would help her but it's a long distance relationship, but she said she'll move. Besides, she likes to fight and she kicked a lot of people's asses.

 

[SturmDolch]

I was also bullied, specifically because I spent two years of my life in Switzerland before coming back home to Canada and entering first grade. I did not speak English very well at the time, and I accidently made friends with the other bullied kid. All of Elementary, I was basically one of the weird loser kids. But I still like to think I had more fun playing "Time Machines that go anywhere and Pokedexes that turn you into Harry Potter and Link" than the cooler kids playing soccer. Still, the constant verbal harassment sucked.

In Junior High, I was threatened by a guy that he would come to school with a BB gun and imobilize my limbs with it then shoot me in the face. I went to the vice principal who didn't do anything. Junior High was the worst... But eventually all of the nerdier kids formed a group and it ended up being the biggest group in the entire bloody school. Thats where I learned that you shouldn't integrate into social circles, just make your own.

Y'see Maxibon, Since i am slightly doubting your story, Possibly satire, i have to ask about your logic here.

Bullying to not get bullied?

...You know, for someone who wants to work in law enforcement, you have perhaps the worst grasp of human psychology I've ever seen.

Bullies don't want to fight other bullies.
They want to fight victims.
Hell, they don't even really want to fight.
They just want to hurt other people - the old saying "most bullies are cowards" is actually pretty true, generally speaking.

To explain more fully, it works like this: The best way to avoid getting hurt is to appear invincible.
Act like nothing hurts you, fight like you're willing to kill, and in time, nobody will want to test you to see if either of those things are true.
I'm fairly certain Machiavelli said that “It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.”

Get back to me if you find out a way to make everyone you meet love you to death.
Until then, my approach works.

Somehow I find that hard to believe. You claim to act as if nothing hurts you. Do you crave the attention you get by being a ruthlessly violent kid? What the hell happened to you in your childhood for you to be so fiercely aggressive towards everyone? Why do you feel the need to assert yourself as "the guy you don't want to mess with"?

You need other people to see you as invulnerable and that, my friend, is a weakness that undermines your entire image. Why do you try so hard to act tough unless you, yourself fear that others will not take you seriously? Honestly, what do you hope to get out of it? Respect? unlikely, people will eventually just stop caring altogether. Fear? Your own self-created reputation puts you at a risk of someone even stronger to come along. Most likely you will spend your entire life alone, miserable (although it sounds like it already is). That's a shame too, because clearly you wish people would appreciate you, you just don't know how to (and you're far from being the only one).

To tell you the truth you remind me of a student I know. He always needed to get the last word, always needed to be right and challenged all who opposed him. He was the most verbally aggressive person I've ever met simply because he just felt the need to be assertive ALL THE TIME. Do you know what the result was? He was pranked, harassed and tormented by many of the other students. The only way you are different from this guy is that you cause fear by being physically assertive (which is FAR more dangerous and destructive), so instead of people provoking you, they just ignore you.

But here's my most important question to you: What will you do when you meet someone who's not afraid to face you? Or if not then what will happen to you in life when nobody will ever talk to you?

 

[bushwhacker2k]

Most of the bullying I dealt with was in middle school but it was never really that bad.

I've heard of some terrible cases, but i've never seen anything like that.

 

[Slaanax]

I recently read an article on the web about a girl who was gang raped at a school dance, sounds about the worst case I've ever heard.

 

[Jharry5]

There was quite a lot of bullying at my old school. I was targetted for three years or so because I was short, smart and different from the people outside my group of friends (the rest of the class were chavs). For the most part, it was just name calling.
The worst of it came when I got dragged into the bastketball area with the main bully (who was at least twice the size of me). He then beat me up for a baying audience.
The teachers were all convieniently absent from the yard...

 

[evilartist]

Guy sued 1m from the government because he was bullied from Kindergarten to year 7 then quit school. I was bullied also but I didn't resort to trying to sue the government and spending it on GAMES instead of a life.

i have been considering doing this due to the fact that no teacher in any of my schools ever helped me....sorry for the double post but it wasn't letting me add a quote to my above post

Do it, they deserve it for being lazy bastards who only add to all the problems in the world.

I was bullied a lot myself at school. I guess I was a good target since I was in the 'weird/crazy' group due to Aspergers Syndrome and ADHD.

I was lucky enough to get it dealt with most of the time since I was at a good school (I live in the UK, by the way, so the quality of teachers is often much higher than in America. They're a prime example of why a teachers union should NOT have so much control.) but even so, it was rough a lot of the time. Thankfully it tailed off a bit when A levels came around... but of course, douchebags usually don't change much, so it didn't get THAT much better.

I can completely sympathize with you. I was unfortunate enough to be born with ADHD (possibly Aspergers, too), so for being "weird" I was everyone's punching bag throughout K-10 (cooled down during junior and senior years when I moved away). I already had a hard time naturally connecting with people, and everyone's abuse only made me sink deeper into isolation ("everyone" is almost literal, the exception being the occasional few who took pity on me instead).

The school district was pretty shitty, too. The teachers were no help at all, and the kids were all assholes. My parents couldn't help because my father worked while getting his bachelor's and my mother's idea of defense tactics were saying things like "Sticks and stones may break my bones" (you know, lame sayings that get you mocked more).

I developed a fear and distrust of people throughout my youth, and mostly stuck to the indoors, playing video games (surprise, surprise). I never had friends (or dates) because it never occurred to me that I could. To this day, I partly regret that I didn't do anything to develop my social skills, but I mostly realize now that it wasn't my fault and that I didn't know any better. I can see the logic in people suing their schools. Because they didn't do anything to help, people like me were allowed to be traumatized (psychologically and emotionally), their lives essentially ruined. Maybe I deserve compensation...

I have a point, for the parents here: if your kid is having bully problems, has ADD, and grades that are slipping, get the fuck on it immediately! Don't be a nag about it either, making worthless suggestions like "why don't you try to go make friends" or "how come you don't get out more?" My mother said that stuff to me, but she didn't understand that I had no idea how to do that.

You want to help your kids? Teach them how to stand up for themselves, physically and psychologically. Effective self-defense boosts confidence. That's advice I wish someone would have taught me.

If you leave your kid alone, he or she will likely be socially awkward, emotionally traumatized, have an inferiority complex, and suppressed anger issues. People like that eventually become dangerous.

 

[Apathetic_cynicism]

In my case...
Elementary: Constantly made fun of and beat up. Bullying stopped in 2nd grade cuz I was friends with someone from the "cool" crowd. He moved away in 4th grade, and the bullying started up again.

Middle school: I had no real niche of friends until 8th grade, but I was still made fun of over and over again. But what drew the line for my trust of people was so painful, i can't repress it. Graduation dance for the end of the year, someone actually asked me to it. I felt great. Just knowing that other people liked me really brought my spirits up. We talked every day until the Graduation ceremony & dance. I couldnt find her anywhere. She didnt show. I sat at a table by myself until she walked up to me, insulted me, and threw a pop can at me.

Now I'm in High school, and everything is fine. I have good friends, but my past experiences still bug me.

It really depends on the kid. I've seen kids where ADHD gets in the way of making friends, do poorly in school and I've seen kids who are able to learn, use the benefits of ADHD and become some of the most social, genuinely enthusiastic, "life-of-the-party" people as well as brilliant hard-workers.

 

[thepj]

The worst i'd ever seen happened to this kid who came to my school a few years ago, he didnt speak fluent english but enough to just scrape by, anyway, he was already kind ofweird and i dont know how else to describe it but disturbed comes to mind. This one kid who was teh biggest dick i have ever met just starts bullying him, small stuff to start bu then goes on to stuff like; go kill yourself, gonna burn your house down, rape your sister, all that stuff. the bully got expelled and the other guy is seriously traumatised, he also left school

you know the saying; the bystander is just as bad as teh bully. yeah thats how i feel

please learn the useage ofthe word "the" just cause it's the internet doesn't give you THE right to talk like a neanderthal. i'm sorry for your friend but i'm kind of finding it hard to not get a headache reading what you say

Yeah, I don't deny that. One of my sister's friends has ADD, and he has plenty of friends. Likewise, there's probably someone who has it worse than I do. I was just unfortunate enough to be raised in a city of intolerant assholes, and I went to a school with low standards and crappy teachers. But, I do think life would have been so much better for me if I had been born without this flaw. I'd probably have self-confidence.
