Bullying

I want to know how this community feels about bullying and the campaign that the media is using; hoping too stop it. So I will tell you what I think and everybody can put their two hundred cent in. I personally feel that is a farce, a charade, and a blind attempt at certain peoples own boring brand of self righteousness. I say this because no matter what you do someone will be bullying you or you will be bullying someone and will not even notice that your doing it. It is a fact I mean I have no proof but what I can tell you is I was mostly bullied my somewhat shot lifespan. I have been jumped. I have been sucker punched hell a many times. I have had rocks thrown at me, I have been spit on, pushed down stairs, had my wrist slit open, chin busted, AC tendon ripped, paperballs thrown at me, and called every name under the under the sun. That said I never ever ever thought about suicide. What I did is what Cartoon Network said not to do that The Dudes/The Tools said was not too fight back. I fought back I learned pressure points, trapping techniques, and some what I assumed is called "tataeh". I became so uncaring about the people around me that when I walked the halls I bumped into them on purpose just because I did not give a damn they could be in gang had a big family it made no difference to me personally. I felt hey you breathe the same air I breathe so who the fuck are you that saying was mainly aimed directly at the supposedly popular people. I alienated myself from people but they knew not to step up however in the end I feel a tad bit bad for what I did I became what I hate. That said I regret nothing I did to the unfortunate people that opposed me.
Hey, the saying goes (You win some you lose some but you live to fight another day; everything is a battle. I just feel that there is a time for peace, war, love, hate and etcetera. It is impoosible to rise above hate if you also hate those who hate you. Hell if someone wanted to rise above hate you kill your opposition with fucking kindiness there is no other way. Overall I feel bullying is a mainstay lets see if this community can make me think other wise.

Bullying was never a problem for me. No one ever tried too. Even though it was abundant in school. I think it was due to the fact that I've been working out on my physique since i was 9. The reason being was because life treated me in a way in which it taught me that 2 things were necessary to survive. Those 2 things being Strength and Intelligence. Over time those 2 things have been vindicated.

True Strength and Intelligence do help yet bullying will always evolve or change that is just human nature. We easily become adept to whatever situation is thrown at us now lets say those said bullies have access to guns and knives then what?

Okay, big block of text is BIG almost ~ tl;dr. Lucky this is something that i have strong opinions on.
I used to be bullied when i was younger, but i eventually snapped and well everyone feared me after that instead. Bullies are afraid little idiots who feel that imposing themselves on weak willed people is "manly" or "cool". When in actual fact is a disgusting and stupid practice.
I usually go out of my way to make bullies live's MISERABLE or as miserable as possible, because they are not even human to me. They are merely just trash that need to be throw out and/or destroyed. Most bullies are weak little tools with superiority complexes and don't see to understand that they are in the process of ruining someone's life.
Mind you i am alot kinder than i used to be towards it, and i did in fact use the "become what you hate in order to defeat it" reasoning. I also have people who help mange my anger when i see it. But my advice is to ignore it when you are the target of such things and try to fins some people who will stick with you. Bullies only like going after people who are alone because then they can act big in-front of their friends without you being able to fight back much. Also if you react they will continue unless of course you hospitalize them like i did (inadvisable).
That aside, bullying will only ever stop when everyone feels equal with one another, because it is usually born of jealousy or feelings of being lesser to others. But i do not think this will ever happen due to the boundaries of human nature and our vices.

tl;dr. But good job in not thinking of being an hero.
I got bullied in school because I wore my hair back and had thick nerdy glasses. I got bullied at work because I'm of a different race. I just took it like a man.
Everyone would get bullied at some point in their life. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It's just how they deal with it. This is why fakku exists! ;)

Bullies try to shame and intimidate their victims and make them feel inadequate. Some bullies are active and aggressive; others are reserved and manipulative, relying on smooth talk and lies. Bullying is not gender specific; it is estimated that 25 percent of bullies are females. Regardless of how big they are or what they look like, all bullies want power and have difficulty seeing things from another person's perspective. Simply put, bullies use other people to get what they want. Researchers are now finding out that bullies are different from other children. Their aggression begins at an early age, and they tend to attribute hostile intentions to others. They perceive provocation where none exists and set out to exact revenge. Eventually they come to believe that aggression is their best solution to conflicts.

Bullying is a conscious, willful, and deliberately hostile activity--it can be verbal, physical; or relational--in which children get pleasure from another child's pain. Bullying is not about anger, or even about conflict. It's about contempt--a powerful feeling of dislike toward someone considered to be worthless or inferior, combined with a lack of empathy, compassion, or shame.
Bullies come in all shapes and sizes--big, small, bright, and not so bright. Some are popular and some are disliked. You identify bullies not by the way they look, but by the way they act. Likewise, the only thing bullied kids have in common is that they are singled out by bullies simply because they are different in some way. Bullies need targets, and when they feel a need to put someone down, it doesn't take much to find an excuse.
Bystanders are the third, often overlooked, characters in this play. They are the supporting cast whose role is to aid and abet the bully through acts of commission or omission. They can stand idly by or look away, afraid to step in for fear of becoming a target themselves, or they can actively encourage or join in the bullying. Whatever the choice, there is a price to pay.
3. BULLYING LEADS TO THE VICTIMS HAVING LOW SELF-ESTEEM, DEPRESSION, MALADJUSTMENT, SUICIDAL IDEATION, OR RETALIATION. THINK COLUMBINE!

(Jodie and Erica, Autumn, Theory Into Practice, Vol. 44, Issue 4, The Role of Peer Bystanders in School Bullying: Positive Steps Toward Promoting Peaceful Schools.)
There are harmful effects on victims and perpetrators of bullying. Victimization impacts significantly on young peoples' ability to learn, as well as their school attendance (Rigby, 1998). Findings confirm that victimization is clearly connected to low self-esteem, proneness to depression, maladjustment, low levels of well-being, and suicidal ideation (Besag, 1989; Craig, 1998; Rigby, 1998). Young people who are bullied tend to be withdrawn and anxious, and are typically characterized by tenseness, fears, and worries (Neary & Joseph, 1994). Those who are frequently harassed experience higher levels of distress and tend to feel more ashamed than their same age peers. They are also more inclined to retaliate when angered or provoked (Lodge, 2004).

Bullying also has had effects on the bullies themselves. If not stopped in childhood, bullies would likely grow up to bully others in the workplace. In fact, it is common knowledge that those who had been bullies at childhood developed behavior patterns that endured into adult life and are more likely to have criminal records than those who were not bullies (Anonymous, 2003). In addition, although, the bullies themselves may not suffer any initial consequences; they are most likely to suffer from long-term consequences. In that if they do not change behaviors, the pattern of bullying behavior often becomes a habit as the bully gets older. These bullies may at adulthood become aggressive adults and have a higher chance of attaining criminal convictions, courts conviction, alcoholism and personality disorders (Garrett, 2003).

"How bystanders respond to both the bully and the target have a tremendous influence on how emboldened the bully becomes and/or how weak the target gets." (Coloroso, p.46.)

One study that examined the role of peer behavior in urban playground bullying episodes revealed that bystanders were involved in either teasing the target or egging on the bully in 85 percent of the incidents. (Coloroso, p.66.) However, in bullying incidents overall, bystanders usually do nothing, which can he equally problematic because it encourages the bullies to continue their behavior. "Doing nothing" also saps bystanders of self-respect because they have abandoned their ethical and moral responsibility to their peers and school. The four most cited reasons for "do nothing" bystander behavior are:
†¢ The bystander is afraid of being labeled a tattle-tale.
†¢ The bystander is afraid of getting hurt or becoming a new target for the bully.
†¢ The bystander is afraid of doing something that will make the situation worse.
†¢ The bystander does not know what to do.

Yeah, bullying can be tough. Although what really hurt me in my highschool years was friends becoming enemies. I remember one guy got me banned on a Mortal Kombat forum, and when i tried to get him away from my computer he pushed me(I'm a skinny guy, so my physical strength isn't all that great). That hurt was pretty rough. Thankfully my last 2 years of highschool was a bit better
Anyways, I am not sure bullying will ever be fixed, just because of human nature. But i do support any effort to try to curb it tho

Bullies are there to pick on weaker people to either pass the time or get attention. that is the way I see them. One guy tried to pick a fight with me in high school before and brought his boys over with him. They waited till I was with nobody and then they jumped me. Thank god I took Muay Thai and kickboxing that I was able to beat the crap out of most of them. I beat the guy before more than his other friends, so that he wont pick on me anymore. It actually worked!
Since then none of them ever picked on me. To be exact, they never even got close to me and stayed away from me after that. I usually see them try to pick on one my friends, due to our group looking like skinny, weak people.(Only one in group not skinny) I covered my friends and they were all happy the last few years of high school. By the end of the school years, that bully never graduated and dropped out by then. So by then we all had an good graduation and left school happily.
Overall, all you have to do is stand up to the bully and use whatever means necessary to bring the bully down and show it to him/her that you wont take their BS anymore. I did and it worked out pretty well. Just use whatever means necessary to win the confrontation. Don't worry if its underhanded or cheap. The point of the matter is you take them down and you stand up against them and show that your not weak and that you can defend yourself and what you stand for.

From the look of the comments some people seem to agree with me.
I want to however discuss bullying beyond school years of any sort.
I mean like you know the bullying you have to deal with from friend, enemies,and etcetera. Hell I am not sure but I have seen some fair amount of bullying on here.
I am not saying most users on here are bullying people. You dude and dudettes could just be playing around. I just want to point the hypocrisy that this campaign against it represents. I just wanna know does this community see bullying only existing through the education system we had to go through or is there other forms of bullying that we as individuals would not consider bullying because of some personal bias or you just like to split hairs because we judging such encounter or events differently depending on our circumstances?

I think that the campaigns against bullying are admirable. I don't think any student should have to go to school and feel tortured and endangered. But at the same time I don't think that bullying will ever completely end. It is so much a part of our culture. We try to place ourselves higher than others by making them feel bad about themselves. We are constantly criticizing others. I don't know if it's right, but I think it's natural to want to be better than others. While most people look down on physical bullying, when it comes to verbal attacks we feel that we should have the right to say whatever we want to. And since we do live in free societies, with freedom of speech, we kind of should have the right to say whatever we want.
I'm not justifying bullying or saying that it should just be accepted. I just think the people sponsoring these campaigns are very short-sighted. It's so easy to look at kids and say don't do that, but it's not just a problem with kids. And you have to address the wider society in order to really make a difference.

You hit the nail on the head however we no longer live in a free society.
We now live in something called a Constitutional Republic.
I think democracy is dead.
I may talk proud however I do not think I am superior over anyone.
The only time we should have superiority over someone is our children.
These campaigns against bullying is far from admirable which mean worshipped (look it up).
I respect your opinion however these people supporting this pointless cause are some of the most crooked and deceitful people in the media today.
Humility comes before honor. I agree with this because from my prespective it is true.
Look at Hideo Kojima when started his legend. He got no respect at all during the year of 1986. His associates in the Konami's headquarters treated him like crap. Telling him things like "Come on. Do something goood with your life for once."
For you see be it peer pressure or cultural understanding hell just basic understanding we as a people are always judging someone but do not want to be judged.
It annoys my mind on how selfish we as individuals can be. I just want to know what would this community do to change this situation if they could?

Bullying will never disappear. If there is one part of human nature that I absolutely detest, that is the megalomanic part. And yet, that has never ever left us since the dawn of civilization. Everything we do is a form of bullying. Eating meat is just another way of bullying animals, eating vegetables is bullying Mother Nature, and we've been doing that since we were monkeys. Let's face it, bullying is here to stay. It can be toned down, but can never be destroyed.

Bullying will never stop. It is the nature of things for the inferior beings to be pushed and beaten on from the superior beings.
T vs. t ..... "T" wins because of it's capital meaning ( It's bigger), and for the capital "T" to stay as a capital letter it has to beat down the smaller "t", because of fear of being one of them and being a worthless "t".
There is also a psychological nature in us that naturally pushes out the weaker creatures away from society and they don't realize it.
So bullying is a word with a few background stories in it.
So getting revenge on the ones who bullied you is normal because you feel the need of satisfying your personal desires of getting back at them.
Although the nature is inevitable, once you become the superior being, you can't help but push the weaker ones around since it feels good being the big guy.
So my opinion of bullying is this... it's TOTALLY not worth it bullying or being bullied. ( Trust me, I been on both sides and it feels terrible and also worthless)

wow. way to nitpick my post. btw looked up admirable: "worthy of admiration; inspiring approval, reverence, or affection". i admire their attempt to change society. i don't think there's anything wrong with saying that bullying is wrong.
and when i said free society i was mainly focusing on the freedom of speech aspect, not what type of government we have. of course there are exceptions to the rule, but i was basically saying we have the right to say whatever we want. that when there's verbal bullying people usually aren't breaking any laws.
as far as the people supporting these causes, i don't totally disagree with you. i don't know enough about who these people are to say with certainty that they are corrupt and deceitful, but i know that bullying is something almost everyone has to work on. most of us, at some point in our lives, treat others cruelly and unfairly. it's just that once we leave school, we no longer think of it as bullying.
even though i don't think we can completely get rid of bullying, i do think that these campaigns are a good first step. and that's because in the past people simply thought that bullying was just something where you either had to suck up and take or fight back against. now people are starting to think in terms of getting rid of the bullying instead of just learning how to deal with it.

Bullying is everywhere you go. Kids get bullied all the time, hell when I was 15 I pulled a knife on my bully, a small cut on the arm and he ran home crying. Being bullied made me a man, I just don't get why kids commit suicide all because of bullying. If the bully threatened their life I get that, but these girls that think "let me send a text of me naked to this guy and nothing will happen". Next day, every single kid has the picture SHE sent. God, it pisses me off when I hear that "my daughter sent a nude picture of herself to another boy and it is his fault". Humanity as a whole just loves to point the blame on someone else for all our problems we caused.
