Bullying


Recommended Posts

This has really got me thinking, because a girl i have on my friends list on FB who is 13 or 14, who is "apparently against bullying" alway's has stop bullying photo's on her page and her stupid status updates about bullying, yet, she can call someone she doesn't like a stupid whore or a slut just 10 minutes after posting something saying "we should all be treated as equals", it's really annoying how these mixed up kid's are and how big of hyprocrites they can be, i have went through bullying so i would love to tell her and her 13 year old friend's to just shut the fuck up..

I have been a victim of bullying myself and take it very serious as my best friend (may he Rest In Piece) committed suicide a few years ago by hanging himself in the basement of his mom's house, if i can find the link to his obituary i'll post it, anyway how i feel about it is, if you have never truly felt what it is like to be bullied, then you need not comment about it, as you do not understand, nor know how it feel's.

What are your thought's on it?

I was bullied from the ages of 9 to 12. I moved to a small town near the coast from a city as my parents, and grandparents, believed it would be a better life for me. From my first day, I was bullied by the majority of my class, was beaten up at least twice a week and my mother went to the school every week, but it got to such an extent that some of my teachers made remarks about me. My mother couldn't afford to move back, so it was living hell. When I reached 11 or 12, I was due to move into high-school, and she managed to scrape enough money to move us back to the city where I was brought up in. My grades have now gone from the bottom of the class, to the top, and I am much happier. I guess you could say that the experience has brought some positives, towards the end of my life in the small town, I took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, reaching my black belt in 4+1/2 years and I don't put up with shit from anyone. On my third day of high-school I had a fight with a bully who was two years older than me after he tried to steal my bag and needless to say, I got it back fairly easily and have had no trouble since. I have much more confidence, and am in the happiest period of my life.

I know this isn't exactly what the OP meant by "Thoughts on bullying" but I'd thought I'd share just how deep bullying can affect people.

Once before I was dragged into a case of severe bullying with a 14 year old boy at my old school (hence why they asked for me). Those few days of dealing with his bully's and him have actually scared to see what some children do to each other these days.

I understand that friendly banter happens between people, however this level of bullying where people are forced to self-harm or even worse is truly sickening. For anyone who is being bullied it is SERIOUS, you have to tell someone about it. Go to a teacher, a friend, or even the police. There are enough of us to deal with bullying.

BULLYING IS A CRIME, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Social media and the Internet has made bullying and humiliation take on a whole new scale. Making fun of someone doesn't stop in the hallways anymore. It can reach out to blogs, forums, Facebook and even YouTube in some cases. Having a campaign against bullying is a noble thought, but it ultimately comes down to the parents and how they raise their kids.

My advice to any teenagers still taking physical crap from people: Take weightlifting, learn a martial art, or both. To the teenagers taking emotional/mental crap from people: Kids do tend to mellow out around Junior/Senior year of high school, and I found not just bullying, but people giving you crap is near non-existent in a college environment. You can't reason with stupid people, so ultimately it will be a test of your mental fortitude. Stupid people don't go away when you grow up, either. They just change tactics. They are a part of life, and cannot be removed. Ultimately it's best if you can make friends with those you trust, share ideals with and are happy with. Having them will make the world around you a little less hostile, and give you something else to focus on. And if you aren't a social person, get a good hobby. Again, something to put your mind to as opposed to your social problems. Musical instruments are a great outlet for anger, sadness or happiness.

I have never been severely bullied, thank god because I try to defend myself and make myself a hard target. Before I used to get picked on but never beat up or anything because I'd try to put up a front and get back at the bully.

I'm still in school and not the brawniest of them all so I hope it doesn't happen.

I do really hate when people bully people, especially about their looks because you can't change it. There's different kinds of bullying that I can tolerate because most of the time they are just breaking your balls.

I've noticed bullies go after the ones that are quiet and passive because they aren't confident to begin with, so you kind of have to be a louder person in a way. If you are that quiet kid who keeps to himself you are probably going to get bullied because you aren't sociable and aren't confident enough to stand up for yourself, and when you do, people aren't going to take you seriously.

Most of my friends actually don't even know how smart I am because of the risk of being bullied. I learned this type of stuff because I grew up in the ghetto and recently moved highschools, and it's been hard making new friends, but the friends that I have have no clue what I am capable of doing online, like coding, building, and all that stuff.

Until I go to college I will actually expose myself because there I can actually meet people who are interested in what we do, and like unr3al said, they tend to mellow out and actually have respect for one another.

I am sort of happy with my friends though, because ghetto is all I ever grew up with, and tend to have two personalities, I can be cool with other stupid people but on my own I am very, very, different. I'm so poor, I had to extensively modify gta IV to even run it on my current computer, and it's still unplayable.

Please do yourself a favor and don't fall in with a bad crowd for the sake of fitting in. Idiots can get you in trouble, reputation or not. If you dig yourself a hole with people who "gave up" on their lives, you risk being dragged down with them. As an example, let's say you hang with a "ghetto" friend in a car. He might be the type of douche bag to have weed on him and not tell you. A cop pulls you over, finds it, and your friend won't admit to it. Guess what? You both get charged with it. It's called constructive possession. That eliminates a job as a law enforcement officer or another government agency job right there. If it was something else that was more deadly, or something that was in a large quantity; guess what? It's a felony. Now there are a ton of jobs you can't get, and some colleges may even deny you admission.

Go against the curve if you have to, be a dick about getting in the car with retard friends if you have to. Your priority in life as you're growing up needs to be 'looking out for numero uno' (you).

I was bullied in junior high. I waited longer than I should have waited to respond to it. The key to combatting bullying on a personal level is to build up your confidence. Unfortunately, you really can't rely on anyone else to handle the problem for you, as no one is going to follow you around all day monitoring how you're treated by others (nor would you want them to).

The poster who took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu hit the nail on the head.

Those who bully others are simply feeding on your insecurity like a parasite feeds on the blood of its host.

In some instances, ignoring the perpetrator will diffuse the issue and they'll move on, having become bored of messing with you. In others, more drastic action may need to be taken. Again, this is where Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu might come in handy.

If you are going to college, the likelihood of maintaining high school friendships is very slim. I've been out of college for 8 years, and at this point I still speak regularly with one person I knew in high school, and one person I knew in college. People will continually come in and out of your life. Just the way it is.

Ultimately, kids are mean as hell. No meaner now than they used to be, just simply have many more avenues in which to spread false information about others.

Bullying makes persons a lot stronger when they get older. Everyone has been bullied once, can't be denied. And we know bullying is out of incertitude.

But most people who heavily have been bullied in their childhood raise up very mature and mentally strong. As a matter of fact, most cops have been bullied in their childhood. I can partly tell from my class. 8 out of 10 have been bullied and turned out one of the most mature. Not to mention how wise they got.

Well, At my school, I'm a "Student Based Moderator" or SBM. My job is simply to be a student mentor and friend to those kids who get bullied a lot. Yesterday, One of my "clients" was arrested for having 'pot' in his bag. I felt bad because he had a terrible home life as well, almost seemed to me like his mother put it in there and made his sell it for money, they don't have enough money to feed there own family yet they go out and buy an escalate ..

I'm going to have to disagree with you there and say that it depends on the person, and is in most cases NOT a good influence. In fact two of the worlds most despised and ruthless people to ever live on this planet were beaten up by their fathers and other kids regularly during their childhoods. Their names were Adolf Hitler, and Josef Stalin. Physical violence and verbal threatening and belittling can have horrible psychological consequences to a developing mind.

Not to knock the harrassment in "your day", but access to weapons is easier to get than ever, the internet exists in nearly every home now so people can sling mud anywhere and everywhere and spread it world wide, and electronics such as cameras are in everyones pocket. Ever see the viral video of the bus monitor who got insulted by the bunch of little kids? if you watch the news in the U.S., I know you did. That video went viral on sites like YouTube, and that's why people knew about it at all. Anytime before the mid to late 90's, that incident would have gotten just about 'zip' attention from anyone. Today, the lady got thousands of dollars to go on vacation. That never would have happened in the days before the internet (yes I'm aware DARPA created the internet as a means of U.S. military communication in 1984, don't message me about it).

wasn't there another thread about that? :D anyways..

i was bullied too (cause i'm fat :D)

but let's be honest.. it happend to most of us.

If you get bullied you got 3 Options...

1) Ignore the idiots (not working i tried that for 7 years lol)

2) Knock your Bully out (works most of the time (at least it did for me) but you might end up in a hospital from time to time if you deal with more then one + teachers and parents don't like that at all xd BUT your bully will end up search for an "easyer target")

3) You might contact a Teacher or your Parents (never tried that so i don't know if that really works)

And it also depends on how much you get bullied...if someone just calles you names from time to time, you don't have to knock him out lol. Thats not worth the trouble.

But if you get humilated or physicly attacked you will have to do something about that and go with Option 2 or 3 xD

Bottom Line

Don't over react if someone calls you an "idiot who looks like and idiot" (real quote xd) but if you get really humilated or even physicly attacked you will have to do something about it

I had various forms of bullying thrown at me for a few years at school. Eventually I just went and got it sorted with my teachers and staff and yeah, that was the end of it. Most important thing is to never let people like that change who you are and of course, to be proud of who you are even if other people give you crap for it. I only ever had 8 or 9 good friends at school because I never tried to fit in and be someone else. I got good grades, I got into university and most awesome of all, I built this place :)
