Bullies

[FlameHawk18]

I get bullied a lot.

 

 

 

I used to get bullied for being small but now I just get bullied in general. I don't really have that many friends and none of them are the confident loud-mouth type that the popular kids are so I'm screwed. I'm always the one who they'll use for a quick laugh. 'Hey Rachael wanna go out with me?' to and generally take the piss out of me. :( One of them raped my head (I suppose you could describe it as that, I was just sat down and he like came up behind me... :? ), filmed it and put it on Facebook. :cry:

 

The girls just don't like me because I'm ugly (yep) and couldn't give two flying [bleep] more about my appearance. I also have to lie that I've ever been out with a boy and that I've ever even kissed one :wall:

 

 

5 OT points for noticing what I did with half my story there ;)

 

 

 

Copied it from the In-Crowd Out-Crowd thread.

 

 

 

Points pl0x.

Tourette's Syndrome? If you don't mind me asking, what is your tic?

 

 

 

I jerk my head around a lot. Leads to plenty of head aches and neck pains. Every time I go into the chiropractor to get something in my back fixed that I hurt in karate, they always find a kink in my neck that they fix to.

 

 

 

People like to pick on me by calling me Twitchy sometimes, or just looking at me and making themselves twitch a bunch to and laughing about it while making stupid looks on their faces.... I swear they act like they're still in elementary school. #-o

[Riku3220]

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

 

 

 

Seriously, getting so worked up over being called "fat" or "ugly" or "Twitchy" only gives them more of a reason to pick on you.

[ThurinEthir]

I find bullies to be very easily outsmarted. No, you shouldn't respond by asking them the square root of 576. Though it sounds stupid, ignoring them works quite often. Bullies bully to get a response, don't give them what they want. If they try to get you to attack them physically, don't. If they try to make you angry, try not to show any emotion, or even laugh. If they try to trip you, jump over their foot and make them look like an idiot in front of their friends. (...Happened to me once)

 

And if you really need it, you can always talk to a school counselor - Some suck though, and do absolutely nothing, while others actually help.

 

I suppose physical violence is alright as self-defense (as in they attack you first, not that they call you names or whatever), or as a last resort. Sounds like your case, so I won't condemn it.

I could stab you with your words. Then they'd hurt you.

So if someone were to call you the "n" word all the time, and constantly throw racial slurs and hateful [cabbage] about the color of your skin at you, you'd just smile and take it in stride? I highly doubt that....

 

 

 

If so though, then good for you for being able to take it.

Smile? No, I really just don't care as the color of my skin means nothing to me.

Riku, for the overwhelming majority of people on this planet, the "sticks and stones" line is one of the biggest piles of bulls#$@ that have ever been told. TRUST me, you'll know if you see it.

 

 

 

I used to get bullied physically a fair amount. A bit of it may have been because I was a little snot, but most of it was probably because I was easy to do it to. Nowadays, it's verbal, stab-you-in-the-back twoface stuff that I primarily deal with. In all honesty, I've been practically drooling over the possibility that one of these people would take a swing. At the very least, people would know that I'm willing to fight back, and depending on my luck/skill in fighting (haven't had much actual experience), might be too scared to do it again. I basically pass half of my entire free time running through various scenarios for that possibility. I am fairly low on the training scale (was almost either orange or green belt in karate before I had to leave class for school work a couple months ago), but I think that's still above what most of these redneck special education inbreds would be able to deal with easily.

[Baconxl]

Never actually been bullied, sure there's little crap that everyone gets but nothing I didn't forget about minutes after. People don't really [bleep] with me, it's great.

[Wisp]

I can be a real [bleep] when I'm angry. I took karate for most of my younger life, and some random self defense classes too. I used to get picked on occasionally, by a few other girls and one guy. The guy wanted the two girls, and was trying to show off by being a [bleep] to me, just because they were. He shoved me into my locker, and started insulting me and all. I basically turned everything he said at me back to him, he got pissed and tried to punch me. He was a big (as in muscular) guy, and put all his weight into it, and I was a lot smaller than him, so I just moved out of the way, he ended up punching the locker. I shoved him into the locker while he was recovering, then swiped the back of his legs. He fell down, and I walked away. Never been in a real fight other than that. He's damn lucky I didn't kick him, I was wearing metal cleats.

If it's been reduced to verbal abuse and 'backstabbing' then what's your problem now? It honestly cannot be that hard to ignore someone saying something about your mother. Instead of holding grudges against these people why don't you be the better man and turn the other cheek?

Hurting people is really satisfying if they really deserve it. ( a single "your mom" is not grounds for kicking their [wagon] obviously)

[PlzPuddngPlz]

Well, I guess I have to give my two cents. I was bullied in primary school, so I ditched the class and went to a different middle school than every1 else (advandge of being giftiemuch?). Anyways, now some guy has it fixed in his mind that i'm grossly overweight, and well, let's just say I've been retaliating by turning everyone in the school against him while assimilating myself with him, by putting his name on my projects so he dosen't suspect me. Ah, how I love a good plan.

 

 

 

(Also, his dad plays rs, and he's only handed in 3 assingnments so far this year, with it being almost over)

 

 

 

My reward draws nigh!

 

*Evil laughter*

 

Oh well.

 

I'm rambling now, better go on to the next post before the rambling kills you.

The points were a lie. :twisted:

 

 

 

On topic: It isn't so easy as people think to ignore what people say. Sure one off comments are pretty easy but if someone is digging at you constantly again and again it becomes a lot harder to shrug off.

After the first couple times, you have a point. After getting verbally [bleep] slapped for half a decade, though, you grow tired of it. Even I have limits.

Well, bullies generally bully to see a response. If the first time it doesn't bother the person, they'll probably continue pestering them until they get a response.

Like if someone pokes you in the arm and it doesn't really hurt at first. If that person keeps poking at you, it DOES start to hurt. Bullies can wear you down just by repeating themselves until they think they've done enough damage.

[Star.]

Wow, most people on here have been bullied.

 

I hate school with a passion so you can guess how my life was >_>

 

Usually tried to ignore them, sometimes it got physical which was a 3 vs 1 situation.

 

Library was a safe zone for me. :thumbup:

[josh181830]

Oh dang, you totally no armed that noob LOL :lol:

 

 

 

But nice job of standing up for yourself.. and good job at not getting in trouble.. :thumbup:

Yeah that's true. My friend poked me repeatedly one time and my arm got bruised. :oops:

 

 

 

Maybe it's just where you live. I rarely see any bullying at my senior high school.. unless people are actually picking fights, but most of it is just screwing around with each other.

[Riku3220]

To all of your examples you can't let it phase you, no matter how much. If it's verbal it should be easy to ignore, eventually they'll get bored with you and move on to a target that does react. If it's something like shoving you everytime you get on the bus, sit in a different seat or dodge it.

[Rebdragon]

Bullies tend to pick on easy targets: those with few friends as protection, those who are physically weak, those who don't verbally stand up for themselves.

 

 

 

Fix one of the above three, minimum. Teenage life can be hard, but if you keep on improving it gets easier :thumbup: .

 

 

 

I used to get bullied alot and my way of thinking used to be about getting revenge and basically trying to kill them (oh, rebdragon can tell you ALL about that).

 

Wow, what? I know I'm a jerk online but you want to kill me?
