How many/which of you guys were bullies in high school/college ?

[OinkBoink]

People usually talk about the bullying problem but it'd be interesting to know the bullies (if any of you might want to admit it).

What did you do and what made you justify your actions back then ? Are you still that way in any sense ?

I wonder if I'll get any serious and truthful replies. Statistically speaking, some people here must have been bullies.

No bullying here. I was the guy who got in the face of bullies. Always pissed me right off to watch so many people who just stood by laughing or doing nothing.

Wasn't a bully...was actually kind of nerdy. However, because of my large size I didn't get picked on much.

Got some street cred once my band got fairly popular in my later high school years, and then started getting protective of people that were getting bullied. You'll find that people that make fun of or torture others are almost always trying to make themselves feel powerful because their home life has them feeling powerless.

True. Just remember that one. Thought it might add some content.

Well, actually I got bullied a small amount in 9th grade but it only lasted about a week and wasn't really serious.

Statistically speaking, I'm almost certain there are. Nerds can be bullies too.

I was bullied/harrased in HS - i simply ignored it for a long time. one day i snapped and beat the shit out of the bully. no more after that

I love it when bullies get bullied. It's just something that always you some hope.

it was quite funny because it really didn’t bother me (at least I thought) and I was fine ignoring him and not even acknowledging his existence, which I think pissed him off even more. However 1 day he decided to take an oil pastel and literally draw on my face and well that was that.

I hit him once
He said hit me again
So I did, many more times
He went to the hospital
I was fine

you should find him and seek forgiveness. to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you. there there man, its alright. it'll be all right

That was your set-off point?

apperently
before that it was just verbal stupidity/name calling and maybe some pushing in the hallway. all of which i ignored

he actually apologized to me a long time ago for being a dick in HS, TBH i think it was part of some recovery program. He ODed on Heroin at least once, friends left him on the ground at the ER and drove away

Yes quite
Me: 3 sport varsity athlete (and nerd)
him: skinny drug addict - who thought he was tough as shit

It always boggled my mind (and others) why he decided to bully me, because I really didn’t care and I was not scared at all of him.

how so OinkBoinker? i gave him solid advice. sure forgiveness won't change the past, but it will enlarge the future. maybe he will learn that oil pastel to the face once in awhile is nothing to get violent about.

Bully in College? Nah, I was on a quest for pussy and the best weed I could find.
