On an unrelated note: this is funny but dark.

I loled.... that is bad lol.


And yeah this has been going on for a long time and is not new, but it just seems to be so much worse now, there is really no mercy. Back when I was in school they'd at least stop after a few hits and blood, and figure they got their "point" across that they're "better" than you etc. But now they just keep hitting... In some cases they practically are trying to kill the kid.

I'm just glad I'm not in school in today's age. Social media etc sure does not help either. I went through the whole bully phase myself, but it was not as bad as now. I was mostly victim of verbal bullying, maybe the odd pushing and shoving but I don't recall any time there was blood drawn.

Ok, how can you not know who the culprit is? Anyone is "getting bullied" knows whom the bully is. Everyone knew who the dickheads were (at least I did when I was in school). This doesn't sound like bullying, it sounds like random criminals.

Yeah that's the thing with this particular incident it sounds like it was really random. Like they just picked off a random kid getting off the bus. The article does not give much details, if those kids were also on the bus I would imagine there must be footage of them getting off and they can at least try to pin point potential culprits.

If he talks they'll do it again.

Poor little victim probably owes somebody money.

Perhaps I'm just a weird outcast, but I never experienced bullying in school.

I was a fat loser that always wore comfy elastic shorts and a t-shirt every day with glasses. I went home and played games every day.... But no matter what I never had anyone that just said "This kid looks like a loser, let's beat him up!" maybe I'm alone here though /shrug.

Anyone else have a similar experience in school? Sit down, shut up, go to school...no issues?

Nope. I got bullied a lot from 2nd thru 12th.

And in the Navy.

And on the streets.

And also at home from an alcoholic father I dont wanna think about.

Did the kid have a 'Nazi-looking' haircut or was he wearing a hat that looked like the one Trump wears? If so, the perps may have been your typical antifa slime.

I think the article needs more pictures of this poor kid. Six almost identical pictures is not enough!

No, there is still the bully who will pick on you when you mind your business. Some dick kid threw water on my head in the cafeteria for no reason whatsoever. I was with friends just sitting down eating lunch. Maybe he just wanted to give his friends a quick laugh. That's how they stay cool with each other after all. I'm glad schools are paying more attention to bullying these days - even if kids don't do anything to defend other kids, at least fewer will even think to act like a bully.

Yeah there's always the ones who just feel they need to pick on people. Grade 8 was the worse for me, had this bully that was constantly on my case for no reason. Anything I said or do he'd make fun of. I look back and I don't know why I put up with that for so long. Should have dropped him. But it was a zero tolerance school so I was too scared of getting in trouble at the time.

Other than that I more or less got lucky though when it came to bullying.
