Did you ever get bullied in school!

It's almost a badge of honour to be bullied. It means someone thinks you are cleverer, prettier, or just generally better than them, and they only have a very stupid way of dealing with it. I almost wish I was bullied more!

Both, at different stages. You have to cut that out to grow up. Some people never do though; I've known 'bullies' who are 50 and over. High school or not, bullies are generally just passive agressives with a major inferiority complex who want to your agony and insecurity to replace their own.
And then some people just think they're too fantastic for words and have a god-given right to pick on the lessers. They're your future CEO's, managers, presidents etc. whatever makes the world go 'round I suppose.

i said something out of turn to a bigger boy at school one day, i cant remember what (cant have been too bad i was shy) anyhow he punched me in the back and i couldnt breathe. i went and told his teacher and did i regret that! he would wait for me everyday after school and throw rocks at me. he was a dead eye shot too!
I had to make friends with his little sister to get him off my back. dark days

i was extremely bullied during middle school for being shy, it was the cool thing to do to make a joke on how quiet I was, everyone, even teachers, were such jerks to me. I feel so much more understood now that so many people are coming out with their stories.

Well mine is kind of a long story to tell, it all started when me and my mom were forced to move from Newark, NJ to Reseda, a suburb of Los Angeles. When we first got here it was great I met this pretty girl, a cheerleader, and she really seemed to like me, but Johnny, her ex-boyfriend was an arrogant jerk, who also had a whole entourage of friends and at this beach party they all beat me up. It seems they all knew karate and took classes together or something. Well anyway, the abuse continued, I tried to fight back one time with a prank at Halloween when I set up this hose over a toilet stall in the mens room above Johnny's head (he was rolling a joint) and turned the water on...haha...joke was on him. But it seems the ultimate joke was on me, they all caught up with on their dirt bikes (I just had a regular bicycle) and they really beat me up bad. But this old chinese guy, I dont know, mayby he was Japanese came to my rescue and really whooped their butts. He then agreed to teach me karate so that I could protect myself, I ended up getting really good! I challenged Johnny to face me at the All Valley Karate Championships where I ended up having to fight all his goons. I beat 2 of them right in a row! But one of them threw an illegal kick at my knee which really hurt, and almost cost me a shot at the final. In the final match it was just me and Johnny, boy had I been waiting for this. I ended up having to use an ancient "crane" technique as my final move, and you know what? I beat him! I beat Johnny! After that he told me I was "alright" and he left me alone.

So it just goes to show you, if you stand up to your tormentors you can turn the tables on all of them.

Just wish I could remember that old mans name that taught me karate.

I had people make fun of me for being ugly all the time... they forgot it in a couple of minutes, but I would go home and stand in front of the mirror and cry. =(

Yes. but I have overcome it and have no revenge related thoughts.

Yes, I have been bullied during my whole school life...

I guess i should have got some guts and stood up for myself....but I was a child then....pretty much naive and scared..

The people who bullied me,most of the times , they were my so-called friends...
Some people just enjoy treating other people (who THEY THINK are inferior to them) like shit..so they can boost up their ego n their own insecurities by making someone look inferior and make their own self look cool infront of others....
n there r some other bullies who want to take advantage of u, if u r being too nice or too shy to fight back "like do my homework"
I realised that..
Even if you think or wait for them to realise their mistake on how horribly they are treating you , always ordering you around/disrespecting you....
Unless u stand up for urself, these people wont get tired or even ashamed of feasting on your weaknesses....They actually enjoy it.....So thats when u got to draw the line and decide that i will rather make an enemy of this bastard then letting him be a friend and treat me like shit.....

I was a tall girl in grade school, but my parents were late-hippies, born in the 70s. It was strictly no violence with them. Buuuut, my brothers were a different matter. So when the mean SoCal girls started harassing me and bullying me in sixth grade, my oldest brother told me that if I didn't demolish the b*** now, the stigma of being the wuss would follow me throughout life.

So one day after track practice I was riding my bike home. Godzilla and her friends cut me off behind a wooded section on the path home. Before she could say a word to me I jumped off my bike and reorganized her face with my hardcover algebra II book while her Godzillaettes stared on, squeamish from all the blood.

That was the only fight I had in school EVER. My brother was right. I was never, ever bullied again after that.

Well, except for a Latin teacher who hated me for some reason. He'd have me translate, and several times when I looked up from my book unexpectedly, I'd catch him mimicking me to the other kids who'd be snickering. So teachers can be jerks, too.

Nah... Every time someone tried to should we say "bully" me, they ended up down on the ground

A lot.. and it sucked D:.

It can take just one instance of bullying to completely alter your self-worth. Even people who weren't regular targets of bullies can have their school experience marred forever by a bully. One comment can do it when we're so impressionable. That's all it takes for you to start questioning your worth.

Quite a few people dont have some balls im gonna guess. If someone bullies you just say shit back to them. Jesus. So many pacifists these days.

I was a bully at first. In 1st grade i used to verbally abuse ppl. My mom was abusive so i took all my anger out on kids. I used to get dragged out of class by security, i trashed like 5 class rooms and my VP's office.

Then i got older and my mom kinda got to me. She hooked up with this 6'5 300 lbs black dude. Lol so whenever she would hit me, he would 2. Thats when my self-esteem dropped completly, non existent. I started to let ppl bully me, and pretty much gave up on life. I was suicidal, homicidal, lol i was crazy and i was only 14.

Now im 20 and my lifes not that bad. I regret bullying when i was younger tho. I wish i could tell those kids im sorry. I took my anger out on ppl who didnt deserve it.

Ye there's some idiot who runs around at recees and would constantly push grade 1 - 3 kids down stare for like 6 sec and walk away and 1 day he did that to my sister and I completely saw it I went up to him and pushed him down stared at him and walked away xD

I was never really bullied in high school. In younger grades people would pick on me because I used to have really frizzy hair, but that was about it. In middle school I was more the student who was neglected. My freshman year of high school was kind of the same. Until finally I got older, more confident, and pretty much would tell anyone who didn't like me that they could shove it. After that if people didn't like me, they just didn't do anything about it. In high school people were bitches, but they weren't abusive or anything.

Yes My whole life in elementary i was always the smallest and had gap teeth they always talked about that high school was the worst though the first day i came to school some dudes just started saying i look like E.T. so I ignored them a week into school all the girls and guys (all were black) all started calling me E T. So i got on the bus one day the three boys rode my bus usually the bus driver doesn't let you on the bus if you dont ride it so they started talking about me so i said something back after that one of the boys said "i bet you won't bang though" so i fought him and lost the next day at school everyone was talking about the video and girls calling me ugly i had a swollen black eye two of the boys were in my class and started playing lil wayne song phone home behind my head. After that I pretended to be sick and stayed home for a few days. Now I'm a senior i have always been quiet but now i completely Don't talk at school i don't look people in the eye anymore and I Began and still do have thoughts of suicide so don't say bullying doesn't affect people because it changed my life

I actuall thank my bullies. When I was growing up i was seriously bullied in school. I moved around alot and went through very wierd stages in each age. But when I boil down the years and think about it. ITs because of those bullies that I am able to look like in the face and go through it without worry. I was made into a stronger person because of them.

Not all all ever, and I've never seen it done. I think it has a lot to do with the school I go to. It's public, in Canada and a little on the smaller side (850 kids) also it's very very very interracial and in the middle of a city. So no, never . Also if someone was getting bullied everyone would get them to stop

both, got bullied in a private school, moved and bullied a boy who made fun of asians.

I was stabbed with a broken lighter in grade 4.

I been beaten down by the life around me for years. cant wait till im out

I used to get bullied occasionally but I could give as good as I got, so I could be quite threatening to bullies. I enjoyed sticking up for my peers when they were being bullied too, since a lot of the time the kid doing the bullying just needs to be challenged by someone, someone capable of hurting them and not willing to back down. That was more physical bullying though.

I never had to deal too much with psychological or emotional bullying, which I'm glad about. I feel that form is much more difficult to tackle, and can be far more damaging.

Yes. And even in my senior year of highschool I got bullied. I fucking hate girls. But now Im dont with that shit thank God.

I was a bit of a bully when I was younger & looking back on it (not just because of this) really regret the way I treated some people.
Now I have grown up a lot & if anything am sort of the middle-man, if not the guy stcking up for the bullied people at work, etc.
Still hang shit on people but make sure it's people who can hack it, know it's a joke & will give it back to me...

I was never bullied physically; only verbally. I was called a fag because I hung out with girls all the time. I was more mature than the guys my age (back then and even today) and I hated the way they got along with each other, so I would stay out of the way.

I didn't get bullied at all throughout school so I can't really relate. I remember one of the bigger bullies was making fun of one of my friends so I got involved. I fought three of those dicks and came out looking like shit but so did they, and of course I had a 'warning' but they didn't because they were notorious trouble makers. Head teacher told me to use my brain even though I was able to make them back down after landing some hard shots. He even went as far as saying don't fight other peoples battles, what kind of role model is that? He's basically told me that chivalry was dead. I wasn't small and I couldn't handle the fact that just because someone is bigger than you you're 'supposed' to take shit from them, after that fight I felt so proud of myself having attempted to protect someone, even the pain was worth it. If my kid ever gets bullied or knows someone that is being bullied I'm going to tell it to him straight that standing up to bullies is the only way to stop them, sure he might get beaten up but at least he'll get the satisfaction of knowing that he stood up to the people who make this world, more often than not, a shitty place.

I got made fun of for being fair skinned by the girls... and i dont even know why but i was made fun of for my intelligence by the other boys (always raised my hand and answered correctly). The only reason i probably wasnt physically harmed was because i was always taller than everyone every school year....

i got bullied for most of my school life by a lot of people and no one ever seemed to care about it, not even the teachers. i got bashed up, wedgies, rocks thrown at me all because they thought it was funny. There is one person that i want DEAD! well not dead, but i want him to be tortured eternally! only then i will get revenge.

I told the teachers and they said they would stop the bullying, but years later it was still happening just as bad, if not worse!

I hated school so much. The bullies ruined my life!

i didn't speak much english in middle school so i would get picked on, on occasions i felt like bring a gun to school, not that i would ever do that but shit kids are really senseless and cruel

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." --- Albert Einstein

All the kids in grade school would make fun of each other. I wasn't very good at it, but some of these kids were just asking for it, I thought at the time.

I got teased more in high school. This one guy used to make fun of me and I laughed. His jokes were funny. But after a while it got tedious, but he kept at it. A few other kids did too. I thought it was boring, stupid and pointless. I tried being stupid to other kids sometimes but I didn't have the heart to keep it up.

I got angry - I was angry enough already - I thought of killing them before I turned 18. This was pre-Columbine.

I had a slightly troubled childhood and I never learned to really socialize very well.

But that's just human nature, it seems. Cold and cruel and selfish, especially when it matters most.

I got bullied cus the teacher in scwl caught me Kissing a boy in the cloak-room so I got Picked on.

I also remember when i wos in yr 5 and mrs bottomly said in exact words
was"Lilly and Billie take your hoods down its not raining in school" Then Bilie was mimicing "Billie take ur hoods down its not raining im scwl"

It was hilarious though and i did'nt go in da next day cos i was scared i was gonna get told off.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

I'm in high school and for some reason everyone tries to bully me. I always riposte(if they bully me verbally) or beat the crap out of them after school (if they get physical)...then they would leave me alone but whenever I meet new people they try bullying me.

Sadly, I was a bully. But its true what they say about the bullies. Kids that bully, are really angry about other things so they take it out on other children. I lived in an abusive household my entire childhood and I just lashed out at the kids in my school. Wish I could apologize to them, I was pretty bad about beating people up.

12 bullies? Shame on all of them, hope they burn in hell.

I'd always been more of a lone wolf type, so for a small while people that haven't met me would try to single me out and bully me.

They would stop after they realized I had been practicing Muay Thai since I was about 9 years old.

everybodys pretty chilld at my school maybe one kid made fun of sometimes but nobody got hurt

I suffered under racism growing up in Sweden as an American. It was terrible.

I kinda got bullied but everyone did. I wasn't slapped or tormented though; some girls just didn't know when to shut the eff up. :D

It was actually a pretty funny thing for me. In high school, I wasn't actually bullied, but I know I was talked-about a good deal due to my quietness/shyness. However, I met my girlfriend in Nov. of freshman year and we stayed together all throughout the four years, so as a couple we were famous and went down in the school's history but I, as an individual, was seen as probably one of the weirdest kids to ever attend that school. Being quiet or shy there meant that you must be from another planet or something, as the majority of the kids there were very obnoxious loudmouths. haha

i still becuz they think im like a satanic praiser -.- there idiots

EVERYONE GET BULLIED BEFORE!

I was a pacifist in school, so no one picked on me. I didn't make trouble, so no one made trouble with me. In later high school, I bulked up and no one would want to mess with me. But I have never been violent or mean, so I never bullied anyone.

omg yes, from teachers to little kids, i've always been bullied, not so much now, though. i remember a few years back there was this 6 or 7 year old kid that used to always call me names like retard, stupid, or gaypher, and yes he was no older than 7!! he didnt like how i was shy and didnt talk much, just another sign that our world is a big hell hole, really

I had several bullies during grade school, and once, one of them, tried to be freinds with me and tried to get me to bully others. I didnt like the idea, even though me and the rest of the class would pick on him at recess. He was from new york, and always acted like he was better than us.

well I did sort of get bullied, in fact it wasn't really a bully. It's just some dumb guy who kept teasing me all the time and I engaged him in battle!

in fact I never got bullied at school man, even though it was a full boys school. If someone tries to mess with me, others will instantly back me up. Because I was really short.

Yo man! if you are getting bullied, you HAVE to fight back to show them that you are tough!

I voted other because I was, but rarely. I saw others get bullied a lot and in fact was in on some of it a little, but again, rarely. I do regret it and think about Kevin Bacon's character in FlatLiners.
