Bullying was just a way of life at our school.

the main bullies came from certain families and had always been the school bullies.

we all suffered numerous beatings from them etc, some we gave a good account of ourselves.

in the end we decided to end it and about 30 of us put the 6 main bullies and 2 of their 20 year old brothers in hospital, one with a broken leg.

as an example of the type of UK school, we had security on the gates, after their van was burnt out twice, they refused to do it, the Police then took over for a bit.

luckily it was pre knife culture, so fights while brutal were fists, feet and heads, although half a house brick was common (one of most common head scars is from getting hit with a house brick lol).

Bullies then skipped our year and we had a relatively quiet time until leaving school, however my sisters year had its own problems and she was pointed out for bullying, however she was in turn bullied.
school is a vicious time, young adults going through huge changes, emotionally vulnerable and often striking out everywhere. Personally their are accidental bullies (the lashing out types and being bullied) and deliberate ones, those that actually get a kick out of bullying and hurting people both physically and emotionally.

I was viciously bullied for years and years. Until one day I had enough and fought back against a kid who was picking on me by throwing him down a flight of stairs.
I had always thought that if I hurt someone else then I too will get hurt but that day made me realize that there is nothing more liberating than defending yourself, so I kept doing it.

In that same year my best friend was kicked in the nuts by a kid for not letting him copy his exam, that was the first time I stood up to someone else's bully. Me and a few friends beat him so bad he never looked at us sideways ever again.

And the height of the bullying era at school, before we all matured a bit and became civilized, another guy beat my little brother to tears so I found him in the school playground and pounded his chest so hard he couldn't even breath, and even as I was being dragged away by the teachers I spat on him, and the kicker is: at the principle's office when asked why I did it by an angry principles ready to expel me I told her what he did to my brother and that I would do it again in a heartbeat, I wasn't even punished that day but he was.

So yeah I'd say I was bullied more often than I ever hurt anyone and to be fair I never walked up to someone to started bullying them I just chose to defend myself and my friends.

I'm the youngest in my grade, and when we were in Preschool, I was the shortest and to top it off, very quiet. I rarely spoke, and I guess that's what attracted the bully.
It was nothing too severe, just pushing me to the wall, hitting the back of my head on hard objects, nothing more.
It stopped the next year. I had started growing and towered above every girl in elementary school. I was an early bloomer and I loved it.
I still am the tallest girl in my school, while being 5'9. Anyone who doesn't know me will think that I'm just a big bad bully. But as my friends like to call me, I'm just a big ol' teddy bear, and the protective one of the group.

Ehh, I had a time where I was slightly bullied but it wasn't too bad. In 6th grade a boy ran into the boys bathroom with my lunchbox after school and a group of 5th grade girls supported me and got it back for me. I was a "goody two shoes" and in my 6th grade class my seat was between a bunch of the "cool kids". I thought it was stupid then and even funnier now. That was the worst it ever got

[weeee]

Alright ill admit, i used to bully people. I wasn't aware that i was bullying them though, it just felt like friendly banter to me.

Then one day i made this girl cry and it just made me feel like shit. It kind of all just clicked into place for me and i realised how much of a colossal dumbass i was. I apologised to her and quickly stopped that shit.

[libsaretards]

It started with me being bullied and defending myself. Then it evolved into me bullying the bullies in order to protect other kids. If I witnessed a kid being a jerk to someone else I was an even bigger jerk to them. Nothing pisses me off more than someone being a coward and picking on those weaker than them.

[MotorcycleMan]

Kind of both. We tended to play a little rougher than is allowed today.
I was probably bullied a lot more than I was a bully though. It's not really in my nature to bully, but I was a scrawny little smartass, so I got picked on a bit and learned to fight well.

[ShadezMcgee]

Was the one who got bullied, and it usually stemmed from me being quiet and being smaller than most of the kids around me growing up, so I guess that made me an easy target.

I always took matters into my own hands and stood against them or pounded them in the face as hard as I could. It stopped after that.

[lovedejj_xo]

No I didn’t bully anyone. This one guy kept attempting to bully me by touching and pulling my hair I got up and punched him in the nose one day and he started crying. I don’t resort to violence but you’re not about to be picking on me. Catch these hands.

[Fuentes]

I only bullied the bully most of the time people i didn't like at first we actually became reeally goood friends i didn't like people who picked on people who refused to fight back so i would always stand up and start trippin but the person who had the same energy to fight the other didn't have that same energy for me and a lot of my friends were the same say cause we all wanted to fight but we never picked on anyone who would not fight back.

[harmseygracelu]

I was bullied (I'm homeschooled now). Except one time I did hold a girl up against a fence because she said something kinda mean to me, but I was probably 9 so

[AfsheenXD]

Not bullied, well not yet ig. The only things someone did to me was tease me about my nose, cause its flat…-_- there aren’t really any mean kids in my class. They’re all crackhead brats. Sometimes I feel kinda lucky cause i was never bullied for being quiet, introverted and shy kid with an abnormal nose/face.

[exitseven]

There was a kid in 9th grade that picked on me. He was 17 years old and was left back a few times. I never knew what ever happened to him. He never graduated from high school and I cannot imagine his life turned out all that great.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Thankfully neither!
I just got some friendly teasing from girls and my future wife, but everything was really lighthearted and without any real bullying!

[Oigit]

I was bullied for a few years. I hit a point where I started fighting back and it lead to a lot of in school detention.

[jshm2]

Both.

Was bullied in the first year, got sick of it half way through the year and started bullying back. Then things moved into gangs and the rest is not good to talk about.

[ArrowheadSW]

I was bullied only to an extent. Past a certain point I wasn't going to deal with it and that is when their face met my fist.

[Anonymous]

i got bullied and to this day i still have people both men and women who try bullying me which is why i bully them back and carry weapons on me like knives and baseball bats everywhere i go since sometimes jerks want to try getting physical but once they see me with a weapon they back off

[Opinion Owner]

i hate when people think i'm an easy target because of my size. there have been so many days where i wish i could just live in peace without the constant bullying. the cops they're useless. lack of friends and lack of support don't help any. i have a very extremely limited support system less than a handful. there have been so many days i hated my life and just wanted to escape move someplace completely different just so i could get some peace away from all the hostile bullshit

[just_a_potato]

I was bullied for the majority of early grade school and I had been the bully a few times too. School is hard.

[little_black_dress]

I was neither a bully or was I bullied in school. I went to catholic school and had to wear a school uniforms I received quite a few detentions for dress code violations.

[MIJ0PAPl]

Did you look hot? lol

[HOAAH]

I was totally bullied!! A boy called me a lot of names!! A girl did as well in 7th grade.

[dustybiker]

I was the defender of the bullied. Always have been.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I was bullied horribly in school and on my profile on Class-mates I wrote on my profile just how I felt and left the good people to know

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Here is what I wrote... "I've lived for years in Monongahela Pennsylvania.. Sadly I became mentally ill and developed physical illnesses caused I wanted to make people happy in the Class of 1986 so they would not bully me yes it happened all in middle school and high school... The guidance counselor and principals did nothing to help me they were the waste of my energy but I will pray for them it's sad I never found serious love and a Woman to marry and have Children."

[InferiorElegy]

With my ugly ass face, of course I was bullied. Bullied by family, friends and other school peers and actually when I look back on my life I wonder if I had any real friends.
