Bullies

[Leprucky Cougar]

With the thread that bloody_ribcut made on Fights and some of the responses on there, it has me thinking about bullies. Were any of you ever bullied? Do you know why you were picked on so much? Or were any of you ever bullies to someone else? If so, for what reason? For those who were bullied--did you ever overcome your fear and stand up against your bully, or did they continue to pick on you? For those who bullied, did you ever stop, or did it take a few years of maturity to sink in that what you did to others was wrong?

Now let the discussion begin. :)

I wasnt bullied in highschool or gradeschool. I was the popular girl who stuck up for the bullied really. Now though im bullied constantly for getting knocked up by a loser whos in prison now. Im also teased for not being able to drink anymore im called the boring bitch really thats what they call me lol. Real classy huh?. I dont care though because i just block that kind of stuff out of my life and pretty soon im going to have a baby to take care of and love so it doesnt matter anymore to me.

I got bullied alot in school.Mainly casue I was fat and I didn't wear all the name brand clothes like the popular kids.

I got made fun of a lot in junior high. I was friends with a clan of bitches from my grade school until I realized that they were all bad people and I wanted no part of them. After that they found anything and everything to make fun of me for. They always threatened to fight me but never did anything. If they would've came at me I'd have been ready and willing. I was just a good kid for a while I guess. I was a 'prude' and I always got straight A's. I was quiet and always unsure of myself so I could never be part of that popular crowd. I liked to keep around 4 friends tops. 8th grade I guess I started to lash out a bit. My social studies teacher picked on me all the time for being quiet and not participating...And not haha funny picking on students, he was an ASSHOLE. He made all the dorky kids cry all the time. Well he just started to really piss me off after a while. A friend and I wrote an email out that said something like he deserves to die and a list of other mean evil things.. and it got back to the school and we got in a lot of trouble. Had to sign all these police reports and stuff. I got my way out of it though because technically my friend typed it, I just forwarded it. She got suspended for 10 days and I only had inschool suspension. He really did make me want to shoot up the school though. Why a grown man feels the need to insult others to please the 'in crowd', I'll never know. Nobody messed with me in highschool. I stood up for myself. I didn't fight with any girls, just a lot of guys. Jocks mostly picking on my gay friend Josh. I made a lot of threats and a lot of them shut up. Jealous guys would call me a whore or whatever and I'd just go up to them and tell them off. Nowadays if someone were to 'bully' me I think I would have to kick some ass and go to jail.

wow about the teacher guy thats bullshit that man should of been fired. We had alot of them at my school i had a gym teacher smack my ass once. a friend and i decided to go tell someone in the office and even tho there were 50 plus witnesses they said no one saw it happen but me n her. Its pathetic what some teachers can get away with.

I know it's ridiculous. He would make fun of chubby kids and kids that had torn up clothes and stuff. It really got to me, but I guess no one really ever believes kids. My school district had a lot of bad teachers..In high school there were two teachers that slept with students...One got caught, the lady special Ed teacher, and went to jail. The other one was my World studies teacher but he never got caught and no one really had any proof. The Special Ed teacher was actually caught in the act by the student's girlfriend.

EDIT: I left that school district in 10th grade and went to a career center for my last two years of high school and it was WAY better there.

I was bullied at times in primary/grade school, and a fair bit of the first two years of high school...a little less in my third as I had a growth spurt but there was always those few that were bigger, older than me.
I dealt with it by actually saying to myself I want to be able to hurt these people - not usually my style but I guess I'd put up with it for a while and it effected me. I took up some muay thai boxing classes and they put me through the paces...they were pretty rough, made me essentially change my body, learn to deal with pain, exhausted me, but after a few months I became stronger...so in conjunction with my growth spurt, I had this going and less people were presenting themselves as a problem to me.
I never used it, I try not to be agressive...until some one of these people at school that were still at it pushed me a few times when I was lining up for my lunch, same old name calling shit going on while his friends laughed, he was either one or two years above me, what you might call a "jock". Anyways, I put up with it for a bit as it didn't seem serious, although this guy had hit me in the past I had learned a few things since then, one of them being to make SURE you have a reason. My head got pushed from behind really hard, maybe punched, I don't know, but my head smashed into the corner of the counter in front of me, and started free bleeding almost immediately. The front of my forehead had a fairly large strip of skin taken off, even he looked a bit shocked at what happened, then he started laughing, him and his friends...I can't even really remember how it went down, but I just went at the guy and kept at him while he was on the floor...his friends left as there was a teacher approaching, I ended up pushing them down too. Either way, long story short I just went on almost auto pilot and the guy ended up with a fair bit of damage. He must've hit me a few times too as I was bleeding and bruised so yeah, this is one time when anger just took me over and I've tried to never let it happen again, because as good as it felt, it fucked up my schooling for half a year, and I actually felt sorry for the asshole, believe it or not.
I haven't had anything but the occasional drunk think about having a go at me since...that hasn't eventuated in quite some time though...never really does.
