shut up you little turd and give me your lunch money!

seriously though, look at this forum and you can easily see that these people are bullies or have been bullied and are taking it out on the other members here since they are anonymous and can't get hurt.


also, i think this is a repost.

Today we're here to talk about Spaceman,
Spaceman's best trait? He's stupid, stupid and ugly,
Dirty hair greasy finger nails,
It makes me want to vomit.
Get a life Spaceman.

How do people get bullied? Someone gives to shit you punch them in the mouth. Bullies are pussies.

Go over to P&N and look at everyone yelling their opinion at everyone else and calling each other names if they disagree.

FWIW I've been on both sides of the coin to an extent.

I bullied the hell out of this one guy for the first two years of high school and then took a step back and asked myself why I picked on him so much and couldn't come up with a good reason other than he annoyed me just because of the way he was. I even got to know him over time and was friendly-ish in the end.

There was this one guy in high school that people were always telling me he threatening to kick my ass but he never said anything to my face. He also happened to be the local champ boxer, so I wasn't to inclined to stand up to him.

But even with him, one day I just asked him what his issue was and he really didn't have an answer other than I was seeing his ex girl friend for awhile and after that he never bothered me again.


I did stab a guy once, just to watch him bleed, but I don't know if that'd count as "bullying".

I was bullied constantly in elementary school because my family was really poor, and I dressed/was dressed (inadvertently) to reflect that. I guess I made it easy for them, lol. No lasting harm, though.

I'm not proud of the fact that around the same time, I ended up falling in with the crowd of unpopular kids and resented the fact, so I was pretty mean to this one girl that I think believed I was a really good friend of hers. Years ago when I was in early high school, I ran into her at a Sears and did the "OMG HI!!!" thing. Felt really bad about myself for a few days after. :(

FWIW, in HS I was popular and more than once used my "social status" to step in and stop or at least temper the most egregious examples of bullying those least able to fight back, just because the spectacle was sickening me and no one else had the simple presence of mind to step up and say something.

You'd be surprised how effective "moral suasion" can be at times, even with troglodytes.

I was both a bully and a bully-ee.

Actually, I was bullied by this guy in the first two years of HS, ended up kicking his ass and bullying him for the next four. I'm not proud of it, but I'm also not ashamed.

I was bullied by someone is HS but he failed at bullying because i pretty much just ignored him and went along with my day. Was never anything serious, name-calling, some pushing/ charliehorse in the hallway and stupid shit like throwing clay in art class. Anyway 1 day I kind of snapped when he was doing something stupid and ended up putting him in the hospital for 2 days, I broke his orbital among a few other things.

Everyone left me alone after that

We hear about bullying all the time, but I can honestly say that I've never seen it. And yes, I went to public school (does that matter? I'm not sure).
