Bullies

Post Reply New Topic

seems we think the same in this matter, young skywalker.

I don't go around looking for violence. (sometimes I do because it is fun).

But if I am going to get punched I am going to hurt them. Possibly even more then they planned on getting hurt. Maybe I go to far but whatever.

hehe, if i'm 'young skywalker'(anakin or luke?), who are you?
but yea, great minds think alike

Once. I defended myself, after being bullied for months, by kicking him in the stomach (in the middle of the school's playground). His co-bully then hit me in the face.

The result was: a blue eye that lasted for a few days, the bullies got punished and never bothered me again (at least not in my face) and the teachers finally started taking bullying seriously and rules were set up to protect children against it.

I let myself being bullied for months because I refused to resort to violence (I tried all kinds of things to get it to stop, kicking was really a last resort). I wish I'd retaliated earlier.

I still don't believe violence is ever the solution. Sometimes, however, it's needed to make people realise there's a problem. In a perfect world, people would listen to victims and help them and everyone would stand up to bullies. As long as it doesn't happen, bullying will beget violence.

I'm not proud of what I did, but I truly believe I was out of options, and that the bullies were asking for it. What should I have done? Let myself be bullied for years and years?

I fought everybody who ever messed with me. I was always much smaller then everyone until grade 5-6 so they never knew they were picking on somebody who knew karate. I got really tired of S*** from two people who were supposed to be my friends and spent all their time trying to alienate me from the rest of the school. So one day I saw them lying down on this little dell in the snow hill normally part of the school yard, so I jumped down on them and headlocked them both and made them eat dirty snow, I made them bleed, and the teachers knew they deserved it. I got in no trouble. Nobody really f***ed with me ever again. Not until high school, and I decided it was easier to mess with people in ways that would actually inconvenience in more ways then physical harm. So I would bring super glue into school and use it in fun ways on my tormentors and their property. I hate resorting to violence, but when I was younger I often had no choice as I had no support from anybody except my fists

Sometimes violence is an answer, but it is never a solution

well i don't know if we got very far but it was kinda fun to talk about.

i used to go too far, i started strangling a kid when on holiday once (my own age) if people hadn't shouted to let him go i might not have.. haven't been in a fight for a very long time now though. i still love the idea of combat in some ways too. two honourable fighters testing each others strength fairly & respectfully is, i think, a beautiful thing but it seems 'real life' fights are very rarely like that.

Yes I have. I have pissed some off and I even used to get in fights with them here. I think all it did was bring joy to other members to watch and watching me stick up for myself and doing funny comebacks. Those were those days for me.

In 6th grade, my old best friend told me she didn't like me so she was going to be picking on me now and stuff. So mom told me what to say to her so I went to school the next day and told her I was so happy she doesn't like me anymore because it means she won't talk to me, look at me, call me on the phone, come to my house and I am so happy and I thank her for it. Her response, "You're stupid Beth" and mom told me she said that only because it didn't work what she said to me. I would say that was the best response ever.

I also remember when mom told me what to say to this boy in my neighborhood who was once friends with my brother. Mom told me what to say to him and he will never bother me again. So one day I saw him and I started talking to him so he start insulting me. I said to him "Look stupid up in the dictionary, it has a picture of you" and "Look ugly up in the dictionary, it has a picture of you." he went running to his mother and after that he never bothered me again. He acted like I wasn't even there when I be near him.

Yes as a kid I used to give my bullies a hard time and harass them because I believe they don't deserve any respect. I still believe that. I don't give rats what happens to bullies. If someone picks on them, I don't care because they deserve it. They deserve to be bullied. If they don't like it, learn to be nice to people.

But if we are only talking about psychical fights, then I have done that as a kid also but that was last thing I would do if they didn't leave me alone. It never worked but I never gave it up, even when the school would punish me for it.
