Bullies?

[moonford]

I haven't experienced any bullies in my lifetime, have any of you people?

And what advice would you give to somebody who is being bullied?

 

[Llust]

for me, bullying becomes more uncommon as you get older, so i havent experienced any intentional bullying since 6th grade. a couple of my classmates found out i was into anime and writing fanfics so they'd use that to make fun of me. as for advice, dont hold grudges. especially if you guys are young, like middle school or freshmen. its just not worth it and chances are, your bully will eventually realize that they screwed up and regret what they did. just give them time and dont get yourself involved with them

too bad now when i think of bullies i think of these middle school guys who push you against the lockers everyday, instead of people who are close to you that constantly put you down. sometimes i forget bullying isn't only physical, it's emotional as well. i've had my share of bullies, but they were disguised as friends. my advice is not to stand up to them, but for them not to affect you. if they say something mean, just laugh it off. i'm not good at giving advice about bullies, to be honest, so that's all i can say.

I was bullied when I was young, like 2nd-5th grade. I transfered schools (moved houses) I wasn't bullied again.

I was pretty much bullied all my life, from the start of school to the end, but honestly I'm older now and I don't care about it, I'm not upset when I think about it anymore or anything. Although it probably did play a part in shaping me into who I am now (not a good thing lmao) my father was the biggest "bully" of all though, and that still kills me, when it comes from the person who's ment to protect you, it's awful, not sure if that's bulling though or you just mean school bullies.

I honestly couldn't give any advice to someone being bullied as i sucked so bad at getting through it, I would say not to let it bother them, but that's clich? and easier said than done. Just try and have people there for you, family, friends etc, that helps, knowing that other people love you, so the bullies are irrelevant.

i was bullied a lot in school l o l. there were mainly two girls but the entire class was kind of mean to me tbh, even after the problems with the two girls were solved they kept bullying me lmao.
the issue w the two girls was solved when one of them switched school. the other one is actually my friend lol..,,,

the issues w my entire class weren't really solved but i started being mean back and i was kinda good at talking so i'd talk with teachers and make them understand my situation and then the teachers would get mad at the other kid for being gross. (which wasn't mean of me since they usually were being sexist, transphobic and homophobic which isn't ok and obviously makes teachers upset. i on the other hand only made sure that they knew that i hated them and that i wouldn't try more than i had to to be nice to them. (like i wouldn't be nice to them in group projects and stuff lmao))

but tbh bullying sucks and if i hadn't been bullied i would probably have been doing better now than i'm currently doing, but meh. it's not like i can do anything about that now. i just wish my bullies will get run over by a train lol i don't have any respect for them tbh and if i ever meet them again i'll be disappointed they aren't dead yet.

yeah because I've got autism and a petty personality so ppl dont really understand me at all soooo
I dont get bullied anymore, but I did in 7th grade (I think??) it was also my fault tho

 

[Acruoxil]

Once as a kiddo lol, never again. Later on in high school I was friends with pretty much everyone so a couple pals of mine were bullies, stopped them from troubling a kid once.

 

[Nightmares]

Nope, never been bullied

We don't really get bullying here tbh

 

[Twisterheart]

I got bullied throughout 7th and 8th grade by a whole bunch of people I didn't even know. They made fun of my appearance, saying I was ugly and I looked like a drug addict. It really affected me, so I pulled out of public school and started home schooling. I still get snide comments made about my appearance when I go out. It makes me depressed, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just ugly.

Take it to someone who can deal with it. (Teacher, Principle, etc)

If that doesn't work? Deck them.



People generally like to say "ignore them and it will go away". That's a load of bull and only serves to aggravate the issue. People who are looking to bully others find amusement from their disempowerment, so staying quiet and not giving them a reaction serves a reaction to them in itself.


I normally don't recommend violence, and ideally that shouldn't be the answer. By all means, if there is another solution such as removing yourself from where they can mess with you, then go for it. If not however, then just lay them the smackdown on them.

It really doesn't matter if you do it well, or if you get the smackdown yourself. All you have to do is make messing with you not worthwhile in their eyes. If they mess with you and you turn around and say, punch them in the nose, then suddenly their fun isn't worth the potential pain.

I say both of these from experience. I had two bullies in middle school. The first I lost my mind at and wailed on (avoiding them didn't work), and he left me alone. The second I thought was my friend (so I couldn't bring myself to hit them) and simply distanced myself from them.

I have to deal the bullying everyday, school starts August 10th for me, many guys call me gay, and say how I suck ****, and other BS like that, they also call me "girl taker" and many other bad stuff, I almost killed myself back in March when they spread a false rumor and I got laughed at

I was a bully victim since childhood. The most awful bullying I had was my 8th grade year when my Classmates bullied me and made me really upset. I cried so hard and my face was red from anger, told my teacher and they said the students never did anything to me. Someone also posted an embarrassed clip of me on their instagram account without my permission and everyone in class saw it. I got angry and told them to remove it, it wasn't long before they dis. The crazy thing that happened to me was a rummor spreading around the school about me. The principal had to check me and they knew I was innocent. Still, I got pulled out of that school and currently is being home schooled.

I thought you were gay though.

 

[Jared:3]

I thought you were gay though.

Yes I am, it's just when they call me bull**** names I'm going to get pissed

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

There hasn't been a lot of bullying in the schools I went to. It was mostly either spontaneous fights breaking out or friends jokingly insulting each other.

 

[nintendoanna]

i never got bullied per say but i know 100% people used to say things behind my back because I do not mess with petty people if you annoy me I will straight up tell you

OH FUCJ DOES THAT MAKE ME A BAD LERSON I FEEL LIKE IM THE BAD PERSON IN THIS SITUATION

 

[Ichigo.]

the worst bully I had to deal with was during 9th grade and it was this ******* in my geometry class. I don't want to say what happened exactly but he made almost every class period a living hell for me. no matter what I did he wouldn't stop. asked nicely and genuinely express how it bothered me? didn't work. he brushed me off mockingly. the people around him didn't make it any better either, but i had a friend in that class who said a few words to me that I still remember and it helped a lot. thankfully I moved high schools after freshman year and didn't have to deal with anything that bad again. there will always be dip****s everywhere and people who can live a lifetime without dealing with one should consider themselves lucky. I do believe that things eventually get better though, but it doesn't change how much it sucks in the end.

I've been bullied throughout all of high school and it has been a very unpleasant time in my life. I guess because of what I've been through, I often have a hard time making friends because I lost a lot of trust towards people. I know it's a good idea to just ignore bullies, but it wasn't easy as they would actually try to start fistfights and would post false information about me online. It didn't help that I couldn't get much help from people either.

And it's not just bullies in school either. I used to have a friend that I knew since primary school (elementary school for you guys living in the usa) and we were very, very close for a long time. Then one day, she began to hate on me and has spread very personal information about me and my family. I don't even know the reason why she did it, but after she did it a second time when we gave her a second chance to feel happy with us, I chose not to see her anymore because of how much she has hurt me and my family.

In elementary school I was an anti-bully, so I'd basically, bully the bullies to get them to stop bullying my friends. I'd be like "Stop being mean to my friend, you're just mean because nobody loves you." or stuff like that... I was kind of a jerk tbh >.<
