Bullying

...Well really...it does...lol.

bullies bully because their parents bullied them. they feel bad about themselves and feel the need to hurt others. abuse is a cycle.

I'll be honest.
I sort of bully a fat kid...my lab partener.

But I mean,
He asks for it.

Well, I mean, he's a mega jerk.
Like he just can be or something,
So I whip out my bully and teach the twinkychewer a lession!

I'm sorry, a what?

lol.
No.
He threatned to have his mother send a e-mail on be half of my bullying him.
And, how angry it makes him sending him home, and rouins his day XD.

He has yet to do so, if I might add.

Yes, he is bullied for being a bully.

I'm part of a youth group in Ireland, Cork City Youth Council, and one of our projects last year was investigating bullying in schools. We investigated in 4 schools (2 all boys, 2 all girls - not many co-ed schools in Cork). Thanks to our project one of the schools that didn't have an anti-bullying policy now has one and the others are revising theirs. We got our results and we were able to see which areas needed to be worked on and we sent out a report to all of the schools in the city with our findings. Hopefully schools will remember that bullying is still a problem even if they don't see it. I really hate bullying. I just thought I'd throw that in here...

ive never been bullied but there is a boy in my class who gets bullied by everyone for no reason. i dont bully him but i do watch and dont do anything and i think that is sometimes as bad as being an actual bully.

I love how teens these days find it ever so funny to pick on those who are M.R.
Way to go jerks, you're so cool for picking on the kid with D.S. and are autistic,
WAY TO GO...

That happens the most at my school :l.

I've been bullied quite a bit.

And I get twats slagging me off in the streets because I've got too much junk my trunk.

Best one I've heard was "Jammy Dodger Arse." : that once was epic fail. I can understand calling me biscuit arse but why reference Jammy sodding Dodgers? They're rubbish!

But I think it's ironic that the twats slagging me off are wasters - mostly - and I'm at uni and yet they call me stupid? Riiiiighto.

Jammy Dodger? I'm sure you're beautiful

I wouldn't say I was bullied, but I took some shit from the 'cooler' people at school. In high school it really bothered me; as I got older, I realised I didn't want to be what they saw as 'cool' so why let it get to me?

I was always the person that was lovely in passing, without going out of my way, to people who got bullied - to a point.

For example: At high school there was a boy that got bullied because he was quite chubby but he was horribly rude. His family was 'dirty rich' and he rubbed it in to everyone; he made horrible comments and got them back, because of how he was.

But it was really obvious that his family weren't that wealthy and that he was conscious of his size. I did have occasional banter with him - if he made a nasty comment to me, I'm made a slightly joke-y one back and we actually had chats on occasion. But if he was really rude, I'd ignore him. He figured out that I wasn't going to go out of my way to be rude, like everyone else seemed to, so he stopped being nasty.

A lot of the time, bullying is a defence mechanism.

I am a bully as much as I am not a bully.
There are the kids that desrve it,
That I just absolutly can't stand.
However, I am very honest,
I don't go making something up,
I use truth in insulting.

Then again, I am mean....just my nature.
But I know how to controle it.

Daydream-believer:

There's this guy, we've gone to the same school in primary, high school, and now the same college, and he's always been picked on. Granted, he's rude and obnoxious, but still, he's like the school outcast. I've never personally ever bullied him, but I agree with you, I think standing idly by is almost as bad. I'm just too much of a wuss to do anything.

Nada.:

That's incredibly harsh. I see no reason to bully someone - no one deserves it.

I'm studying the psychological effects of bullying for class right now and it's just frustrating since there is clear evidence that shows bullying can cause depression and other psychopathological disorders.

I am just being honest, you can't sit here and tell me that you NEVER have bullyed someone,
And that you don't.

Anytime you talk negatively to someone or about someone,
You're being a bully.

I am just admitting it,
Un like some,
I know I do it,
And I am not proud of it,
But I will at least admitt it.

That's an extremely cynical view of people.

In any case, I see it as two different things. Of course, everyone has talked behind someone's back. But it's a long way from physical bullying. Or even face-to-face bullying.
I also see a difference between saying to a friend, "God, I can't stand X, I think he's stupid." and spreading rumours and such.

Just because you admit it doesn't put you any higher up. In fact it kind of makes it worse because it comes across as you saying "Yeah, I do it, and guess what? I don't care"
And well.. you should.

And yeah, I agree that there is a big difference between talking behind someone's back and directly confronting them.

Well, I do care,
Or else I wouldn't have put that I am not proud,
I just think that it's better if you addmitt it,
Like, being honest with yourself.
I suppose.

And yes, it's much better to say it directly then to sit there and talk behind someones back.
And also, I don't find it as terrible if you use lies.
Truth is stronger.
Yet again, how strong is it if you're using it to hurt anothers feeling on purpose.
I s'pose that weakn's the truth...

gotta bully da bully....its survival
