Bullying

That's pretty much why the first time I heard it that was THE last time. We know kids are going to do it no matter what though...well girls not kids. Lol.
Hey can you send me a pic of your boobs?
Yeah sure. -sends- Hee hee.
(next day)
Hey they are that color Lol.
And so comes the gossip...and suicide.

Yeah it is the girls fault but the boys too...I mean...it's stupidity at it's finest I think.

On a side note: I have been bullied, picked on and....well...lets just say karma's a bitch. :D

Hmm...now the posts seem to be convincing me that bullying can be toned down.
Discuss further...

Was never physically bullied but, gossip and drama does chip away at you. It's so strange how people love to feed on others' misery and spread it like fire but, you gotta' stick it in your ear, f-ck what you heard and keep moving along.

Was this even necessary to post?



Well once you get rid of the people with the minority complexes its not so bad.

You know me, I post even when I shouldn't ^_^

*sigh* sometimes you worry me dude.... you don't want Tegumi or waar breathing down your neck. Just sayin.

I don't think they'd waste their time with me when Shinji is on the loose...or CGM for that matter, little troll pisses me off sometimes

Not the point this is SD NOT IB.....

@BlackShogunFox: Sorry for OOT on your topic ^^;

No prob Damoz...cmon people this is the internet I want everyone to give an opinion EVERYONE!

There are many different levels of bullying.
1. Verbal abuse
2. Physical abuse
3. ETC....

There are so many ways a person can get bullied in our society today, it pretty much pisses me off to hear or even witness that event. ( Whenever I see a big boy bullying a little guy I quickly run over and tell him to stop and tell him it is wrong)

I am an adult now and I know how to understand these sorta things, but from all things I can tell you one thing where it definitely comes from, PARENTS. Yeah I said it, don't tell me it is not the case, because in a huge percentage of bullying cases, comes from home itself.

Bullying is a bitch, that is all I can say.

I'v been bullied when i was younger. Verbally, never physically. I guess the bully's bit isn't as big as its bark.

I was never bullied when I was younger, well, there was this one instance but I didn't sit back and take it. It ended up in physical contact, oddly enough it was in elementary school and in my driveway. Anyways, I was more of a bully than a bully-e. I never bullied the quiet, shy kids that didn't do anything to anyone, but more-so the loudmouths.

Line Break.

Sentence 1 It's a beautiful day "press enter"
"press enter"

Sentence 2 I like cats "press enter"
"press enter"

Sentence 3 Everyday Shuffling "etc."

Hmm...hey Shinji this may be off topic but go to Complain/Rant thread there is a read you will find aimmed directly at your favorite game...lol!

I go bullied through all basic and mid school, so I had it rough. Just because I was skinnier than normal they saw it as an escape to beat me up. I've moved and now I'm in college, however I stopped going in fear it happens again. Been locking myself at home for ages now. What pisses me off most is the teachers that just ignore it.

That is one of the main problems in Society today, "ignorance".

We adults often hear cases like bullying and surprisingly a fair amount of percentage ignore this case and leave the victim defenseless.

How can we adults expect children to change their ways when it is us that we must take care of in order to change society for the younger generation to live and adapt in?

For thousands of years history has been built based on ignorance and selfish actions.

Of course bullying is looked down upon in today's society. But to be completely honest I think bullying can help one become stronger and learn about themselves. This only applies to people who are strong enough however and have a solid sense of who they are. Speaking personally, I dealt with being bullied throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I turned out stronger and able to handle what people say, think, and act of/towards me much better.

Bullying will never stop. It's something that's been going on pretty much forever. Due to all these new bullying laws in schools and such, children/adolescences will [in my opinion] become much weaker mentally. They will never be able to handle other people's opinions efficiently and when put into the real world they will not function well with unfair things and unfair/mean/crude people.

The only thing that makes bullying TRUELY dangerous is when it's taken to more on a level of harassment.

Yes, bullying is "wrong". But it's never going to end. Keeping it under control is the best hopes society has, and maybe that's all that's necessary.

Like many users here on fakku, I got bullied when I was younger. My bully problem started when I was in middle school. I was new to the school system (Having moved to Georgia from Iowa), I was scrawny (<100lbs at 13), wore glasses, my family was middle class (compared to the faux "rich" that was the demographic), I was introverted, socially awkward and kept to myself.

My bullies ranged the whole gambit from the typical name calling, to outright unprovoked violence. I remember once incident where a bully jumped me during the class change and began pummeling me. The oddest thing is, I didn't even know the kid. Still infuriates me to remember seeing the other kids just walk by and ignore it as if nothing was happening.

So after taking the abuse for as long as I could (teachers back then didn't care if you were bullied unless something like a black eye or a broken nose occurred (something the school could get sued for) I finally decided to start standing up for myself. So from that point on, anyone who made fun of me or threatened me got their ass kicked. Unfortunately, the same teachers who ignored my plea's for help at the time were the defenders of the kids I would beat up. I was routinely in the vice principals office for disciplinary actions. Even ended up with a juvenile record for disrupting school, oh the irony.

The bully problem got so bad, my family had to move to an entirely different county to escape it.

When I see the commercials or other media for these anti-bulling campaigns, I can't help but, feel a bit infuriated. In my father's time, if someone "talked shit" you had the privilege to kick their ass and nobody even batted an eye unless you hospitalized him. I would personally, like to return to that kind of mentality. You got a bully problem? Kick his ass publicly, show the school or community know that the bully is just a paper tiger. Once a bully is humiliated, they stop because they know nobody will fear them anymore.

Nowadays, we are teaching children to not stand up for themselves. Just take the abuse or cop out and "find an adult" to help solve your problems rather than solving them yourself. Once the teacher is involved, you look weak and will attract more attention/criticism and even more bullies.

Firey that is exactly why I tried my best not too hurt no one because wisdom told me if I fight them everyone would notice and I would be the one in trouble. It sucks you defended yourself from those who opposed you and this happens? Man what is wrong with people being righteous and fair these days...

I completely agree with you guys. I don't like bullying but I think you have the right as a fellow child to kick another child's ass if he's wailing on you for no reason. It also makes me very angry when the adults choose to do nothing.

I've had quite the wholesome bully experience. When I was younger, I used to look too androgynous around 9-12 so both sexes would make fun of me. I'd dress and act like a boy, got into lots of fights with everyone but the verbal abuse never really stopped. When I eventually switched schools in junior year, no one knew me and I dressed much more like a girl by that time.

Unfortunately, since I was so open to talking about sex because I discovered I had become attractive, my boyfriend,and birth control there's a stigma there too. People assume you'll get pregnant, that sex means nothing to you, that you have sex with too many people rather than one a bunch of times. They also assume you're easy. I had one guy force my head to his crotch when I was kneeling down to get books out of my locker!

By that time though, I was apt at getting in peoples faces and telling off and threatening sexual harassment charges. :) People kept their distance from me if I kept up my feathers and looked intimidating, something I just couldn't do years ago. It matters a lot because people will take advantage if they know they can get away with it at least once. I could have never grown any nerve if I didn't switch schools.

I have to admit though, I had been a bit of a bitch to people who were socially awkward despite me going through that stage as well. I wanted them to fit into a template of "not knowing what to say or do but still be nice". Their social awkwardness made them seem like jerks when they didn't really mean it at all, things just came out wrong with their attempts to seem charming or competent to our group of friends. I'm sure some of you know what I mean. I wasn't prepared for that so I despised them because I thought they were egocentric and had absolutely no reason to be. It was a great injustice I didn't understand, I just wanted it eradicated and I wanted them to stop insulting my intelligence, I suppose this would fall under the category of "seemingly unprovoked bullying".
