I was bullied when I was little. It wasn't severe, but I started hating school because the bullies would pick up on me, say names, shame me in front of other kids, and even would kick my chair while I work.
I am dutch so I am gonna put the years instead of grades cause I don't know how Amerikaans count school in the Netherlands starts at 4 years old I never went to the babysit building before that
But yes I was Bullied a lot
From year 1 to 4
I Got bullied for
coming out of a big family
My looks
From year 4-8
I Got bullied
For my shyness too
In year 8 I snapped
So in the next school I tried to make a New start fucked up and got bullied
For all I allready set and not having any control over my anger even for not knowing stuff about other classmates while I was never invited to anything and no one wanted to hang out with me
Thats another 4 years
They bullying came to a point I couldn't do my exams because I got to far behind
In these first 12 years I have had burn outs and was literally sick from the bullying literally puking and everything.
After that you go learn a field I was 16 now
I got 1 year with out being bullied but in the second year of that school I haf my first girlfriend and the bullying kinda got back when I was 18 and was dating her for 2 months on top of that she cheated on me in the 3rd month wich I count as bullying
And been Bullied for the next 2 years again
Yep when I was 20 finished school but could do it on a higher grade to if I wanted. Another half year of bullying and I dropped out.
When I was 22 I went back to school cause I could only get Jobs the People that bullied me had too. This time i didn't get bullied really 3 years later I finished school again than the job search took me 1,5 years I got rejected every where for starter positions because I was an actual starter. I posted about this 3 times 2 times decent and 1 time pissed off. Now I am almost a full year in to my first job.
But the being rejected for not having experience when you need to get hired to get experience feels like bullying too
I been diagnosed with anxiety, anger management issues and depression in 2017 after my second girlfriend replaced me while we were together that night.
She knew I had social problems and used that to end the relationship.
Been suïcidal for a long time.
Had therapy , books and everything.
Now I sometimes get drawback to those days And feel the urge to kill myself again.
I only actually have tried twice
Tried drowning myself. Tried jumping in front of a train
Something stopped me maybe my fear of whats next if I was sure it would be better I would probably allready have ended it for real.
If I ever have Kids and I find out they Bully another kid I am gonna lock them away and make New ones
I was getting beat up at home by dad and older brother and in school pretty much daily.
Had no friends, got called ugly and stupid by both genders. Grades were pretty shit because i always left school, to get some peace.
Just wandering around alone in an abandoned military base or forest, arriving home as late as possible to give them less time to beat me for missing school or for no reason.
For six years i even had nobody to talk to, only my cat and dog. And understandably now i have nothing to say to people, especially women.
Not afraid of people, now i'm also really strong and could beat them up with ease, if they try something.
But yeah, no problem with leading people in the military or in my current field, taking the initative and talking to strangers is easy, cracking jokes, whatever when things need to get done.
But for my own purpose, going up to people, with both genders, not nervous, just blank. Nothing to say to them, could just do "hi" [stand there for a minute] and "bye" but doesn't seem like fun. So i kind of only have 1,5 friends now, i don't let people close or hang with them.
People start talking to me a lot, so that's nice, random people, even today i was talking away with some truck driver for an about an hour.
I remember being pretty social and popular in the first grade, before we moved. Just think about it sometimes, did it change me to be like this now or was i always going to end up like this.
Yes, there were some real brats at my school, even clear up into high school. Some of my teachers were idiots who had never outgrown the high school mentality and acted like bullies at times, too (pretty sad when a grown adult needs to bully children and teens in order to feel good about themselves).
If I'm being completely, 100% honest though, I have said and done things as a kid and teen I am not proud of and wouldn't now. It was never intentional, but I was stupid and didn't really think about the effect my words could have on others, and was also insecure at times. I don't remember it happening often though, which is good, at least. For the reason that kids tend to be insecure and say and do stupid things, I try not to hold onto any of that, and on the off chance I run into one, I don't hold it against them (unless they turn out to still be that way as adults, then I just stay away from them).
From the age of ten I was always being picked on due to my ridiculous, enormous and hideous bust.
I was constantly being accused of stuffing my bras with tissue paper and then being made to prove that I wasn't.
I lost count the number of times I would have someone creep up behind me, put their arms around me and squeeze my breasts so hard it hurt and would make me cry.
Then were also times when I would have my bra straps pulled off my shoulders, my bra band pulled away from my back, only to have them snapped back again.
Until I went to an all girls private school, life was certainly not the most enjoyable time for me.

I actually was the bully. In fact I was probably the bully of bullies as my gang affiliations at the time were cross city, and I was someone even other gangs wouldn't want to cross.
But about the bullying, it's never personal. You are not "chosen," rather you place yourself as someone they can get away with bullying. Not saying you become violent. But if you develop some backbone and actually push back. 90% of the time they see you as someone with some fight and not easily pushed over. Best case scenario they find someone else. Worst case scenario, you fight.
In the latter case, the "secret" here is to ensure they are seen to be fighting you, rather than other way round. That way you appear to "be cool" by not grassing them in, despite them being caught red handed. You then hold that over them and can "cash in" by joining them or them joining you. Or keep it as a "token" to be used when you need them to do something for you.
Yes it's a Jewish thing to do, but that's how the street works.
Well, I got harassed at school. I guess my boyfriend who is inactive on this forum was actually bullied. I will speak for us both. I was a Junior and had noticed this Senior who was always in a full suit - the whole nine yards - as in white dress shirt as the only color and button down collar... He stands about 5'10 and fairly skinny. Short brown hair,
I officially met him after he lost a fight with a smaller Sophmore in jeans and a heavy metal t-shirt. I was walking home a couple hundred yards from the school when I was in the audience to the spontanious fight. To my dismay, he only lasted about 90 seconds before the skank was on top of him.
The girl who harassed me for getting in a relationship with him was yelling sick comments like "I swear his necktie knot bulged out when he hit him in the stomach, ha!" I was there afterwards dusting him off, readjusting his necktie and saying what happened was disgusting.
As far as being bullied, a group of her friends would not let me forget what happened.
Yes I was bullied by 2 girls when I was in high school. I don’t know exactly why I was I did have the perfect body I was what they called husky ( meaning a little fat but not way over weight) back then. I was on the swimming team & I had man boobs & I didn’t like them. Though the guys didn’t give me shit about it. But these 2 girls sure did! They would say “ tub of butter tub of lard punch him good punch him hard” I had moved & started in a new school my JR year. Well I was so happy & I was never bullied again & was also popular with the girls I had a few girl friends. Though I had more girls for friends than guy friends I liked that! I really liked that I more girls write in my yearbook than guys!
No, I was never bullied in school. For the most part, I got along well with my peers. Many of my peers viewed me as mature/wise for my age and often sought me for advice. However, some occasional instances did exist in school where others attempted to intimidate, harass, and/or fight me, which is common for children and teenagers, but I never allowed it. Whenever someone insulted me, talked aggressively towards me, or hit me, I always fired back with the same energy. The only time a person could be considered "bullying" another person is when the bully's target allows the disrespect or intimidation to happen constantly. Because I never allowed it, I believe I was never truly bullied.
I get bullied. And it hurts so bad. I start hating school, i start hating people. But you know what i did. I didn't do anything and now i m regretting it. Let me give you some tips. They'll never stop bullying you. Never stop teasing you. I but there is a one thing you can do is agree what are they saying. You are getting bullied coz you are not accepting it and they think it's funny. All you have to do is accept what are they saying. If they state one flaws about you. State two more flaws about yourself. I know its hard but if you want to stop it. You can do this thing. By this they'll get bored of you and leave you.
Yeah, mostly in middle school, but not every day. You couldn't go to the principal, because he'd just tell you to 'settle it with them after school'. I was skinnier and lighter than most of the other guys, so trying to stand up to them usually didn't work. I was also withdrawn and didn't have much self-confidence in school, but that changed after I graduated. I haven't been bullied in decades, but if anybody tried to give me some shit now, I'd probably spit in their face, and take it all down with them. I don't care.
I was bullied outside of school and inside of school. I went from naive to cautious. My personalitybis worse than what i was when i was 12. I went from hanging with girls and enjoying life to a wise bad boy. I felt discrimination first hand, racism by white kids in wisconsin. I don't know if it was cause i was gettingbtge attention from all the girls at tge time. I felt rejection and i was made fun of it. Thats really messed up tbh but at that time i knew what love was. Love isbt bad but the fact that i change from beta to sigma was a big thing for me. But i realised now that you're presenting yourself to a girl, you want her to think about you cause all girls want to get the ring and hace a family and someone to be by their side... unless its different now? because I don't know whos real or fake and i can't show loce on both sides of the spectrum like that
Yes I was through 7th and 8th grade into my sophomore year in high school. A girl that I met in 7th grade was supposed to be my friend and I told her something very personal then when she got mad at me for not doing what she wanted me to do she told everyone in the 7th and 8th grades. My life was pure hell is all I'll tell you. Bullying sucks and I will always stand up for kids that are too small to fight back.
When I was 13 years old they used to slap me for fun (really tight slaps) and my glasses used to fly away. I used to just go pick my glasses up and walk away as I knew I couldn't start a fight with them. I didn't complain to the staff as there was a notion that complaining is a ridiculous childish behavior so I didn't want to be looked down upon by others and girls especially. If I had the mental maturity I have now i would have walked straight towards the principal's office to complain. It was the most fucked up part of my life. If I hadn't gone through all that I think I'd be a more cheerful person now.
Yes I was in the 9th grade. This big kid Marshall used to pick on me all the time. We were in just about every class together because our last names were close together alphabetically. Then one day just after we came back from spring recess I had enough and just started using him as a punching bag. It took 3 teachers to get me away from him. Once they thought I was calm enough they eased up on the hold they had me in. That's when I ran towards him and punched him so hard in the face I broke his nose. He got suspended for 2 weeks and I was suspended for a month. When I was allowed back to school the principal had us both in his office and told us we had to shake hands and never let it happen again. After that we were best friends.
Nope, I am going to step out my skin and say, some bitches wished they would've.
Two girls tried to bully me twice I shut that down without slapping them into the next week. I never fought in school, I carried myself with surety and I've never bullied anyone. When it's was my second year of high school I was at peace, yeah they would say things behind my back but never to my face.
It might count as bullying what my classmates and some others did to me during middle school, I was an outcast and they'd make fun of me in groups if given the chance. The thing is, I hadn't realised this until after high school, I just accepted I didn't have friends and lived quietly just to get it over with. Maybe it's a mild case of bullying or maybe I was too accepting I don't know
Well, I was the quite kid and they tried to bully me xD Unfortunatelly for them, although I didn't know how to fight, I was 60kgs while others were around 30-40, and I was very weak though, but super durable. Unfortunatelly to them, I used to lose control very easily, and then everyone that provoked me got a beating. So after a while, they saw they shouldn't mess w me xD I also used to protect some of my friends that were bullied :D
For a few years yes. My grandfather did teach me some boxing once I started 5th grade and that is when the bullying stopped. Because I honestly got sick of being bullied and more or less developed a take a no bs attitude. Got in a lot of fights in middle school and high school.
Most of the bullying I experienced was psychological. One guy a year older than me did assault me a few times. He thought he was intimidating me because I backed down each time for a year. He stopped after I finally got bored and hit him. Once. Demonstrating why I hadn't fought back before.
Psychological stuff is more harmful. My first suicide attempt was age 15.
you know what the worst part is? i didn't realise i was being bullied. at that time i thought that they were simply being so annoying. and at that age i did my fair share of fist fights too for that very reason. i was very sensitive to feelings back then and now i have trust issues and don't connect to almost anyone.
Yes, until I hit puberty and grew a foot taller and a foot wider shoulder frame, then I started bullying thoes who bullied me for being smart and curious, and bullied other bullies. I remember thinking, while punching some kids face in, and turning the surrounding snow pink "I feel like this is poetic justice".
I was a victim of severe bullying at grade school then middle school and some in high school but middle school was the worse for me, they would threaten to stab me with pencil compasses and verbally abused me plus I had to deal with my dad for drinking and verbally abusing me and he did the same to my sister and late mom
Oh yeah, horribly. My parents pulled me out of school for a year to do home schooling because of how bad it was; the school district straight up refused to do anything about it. I think it was mostly because of my older brother because one of the people who used to give him shit told me years later that I wasn't "weird like [my older brother]."
But on the upside, I developed a fantastic sense of humor and became a comedian/entertainer.
Yeah - I didn't support what is effectively islamic totalitarianism Serbia keeps marketing as 'eastern Orthodoxy' - in the times when they were attacking others for it - so of course I was a target of their abuse. I am also a cis gender hetero male - for the 'affirmative action' brigade that has filled middle and top management ranks with LGBT folk - I am a favourite target of 'you are not a team player/we cannot work with you' - they don't expect tolerance, they quietly insist on domination, or else...
I was bullied for a week. I told the teacher, and she's said " I don't know how to help you. I didn't see him bullie you, and the school prohibits me from helping you, unless I see it." I said " Ok, I'll handle it myself then." I tried talking to him, and it didn't work. Next time that kid bullied me, I punched him in the face. He never bothered me again.
No and yes I was pretty popular since I did sports and was pretty nice.
Racially bullied yea I went to an all white school and there were literally only 6 of us and it sucked. This guy kept touching my hair saying it felt like cotton on the bus and I got up and punched him dead in his nose and he started crying. They tried to suspend me but my mom threatens to call the board (still did) but they shut up about it like they always do for their image.

Yes. I had been bullied not because I did any harm to someone but because I was too unaware of things. People would pick up on me because I wouldn’t show around my masculinity or did not care about having shitty grades. Nerds with thick glasses who had been awarded with scholarships would pick up on me because they were beating their asses not to loose their scholarship while I was calmly studying with my money (private school). People would constantly gossip, criticize or condemn me about things I was unaware of as if they were flawless creatures. Let’s not dive into the physical attributes. That’a a whole another story.
Where I grew up, they had to put hands on you for it to be considered bullying. I was never bullied, but I used to be made fun of. There have been rare occasions when the same dudes tried to put hands on me, but I'd knock em out. Some of them were Vice lords and GDs, but I didn't care.
I was picked on, I was told I looked like a girl (guess why) in 6th grade. Then this one little b*tch was like, "If a guy has bigger (fill in the blank) than a girl then their sorry" or something that degraded guys. Also, in 4th grade, there was just this mean guy who gave me a scowl for whatever reason
Bullying really isn't a big problem in my country. It really seems horrible in America in comparison. Since there is practically no physical kind of bullying the only kind I've kinda seen is between girls, typical business, mostly verbal, most private.
Never that. I was Pretty and Popular and would Hang with Everyone under the Sun. Including the Bullied Ones. I'm sorry you had to Go through that. It makes One feel Insecure. I hope You were Able to Overcome that. xxoo
I'm glad you're okay I was kind of a popular kid in school but I was shy and there was a kid that live by me you used to ride the same message me but he was different than those kids and one day I saw some guy picking on the guy that live by me and I walked by and I got maybe twenty feet 25ft pass them and I could just feels this kid screaming at me even though he wasn't help me help me and I turned around and I walked into the kid that was picking on him and I just grabbed a hold of a nice when I'm across the hallway and I told him if he ever picked on my friend again that I would kick his ass and then the kid that wrote the best with me and you because you're my best friend LOL and I did really want that and about a week later I saw the same thing happening but to one of my friends friends who used to be about five kids they were not like other kids that hung out together so I put a stop to that one but there's no way I can watch something like that going on because I felt like if I just kept walking then I might as well have been beating him up myself I just thought it was wrong and it has stuck with me all these years I've done it many times for people in bars I've had my ass kicked a couple times from a couple guys but I would still do it in a heartbeat I think it's wrong for anybody to pick on anybody because they know they can kick their ass or they know that they're not going to fight back so I don't care if it's a pet a kid or an adult if I see somebody being hurt or picked on I'm going to stop it I'm glad you're okay you did not deserve any of that and I wish somebody would have came to you rescue
I was, but now those guys are working mundane jobs and sinking their paychecks onto drinks. In contrast, I have almost achieved everything I’ve wanted to achieve in one line of work while starting up my next set of ambitions.
Actually yes. To some degree. I always wanted to be a nice guy but when people treated me like that, it got to the point where anyone who did, had a face that was going to meet my right fist. I got tired of it quickly.
I wasn't targeted specifically nor singled out... I only got some of the regular crap that kids do to one another and to everyone in the class... I sure got my turn like all others, but nothing so serious to consider bullying.

I got bullied by an adult male teacher and I was about 10 years old. I am fairly sure he is dead by now, but if he isn't he is probably still bullying kids...😒😒😒
This was decades ago. It was because i was an easy target legally blind couldn't see a foot from me w/o my glasses, shy socially awkward, bookworm would actually have enjoyed school if it were not for the bullies
For me, the bullying wasn't harsh or severe, but constant. Since a very early age, I would get sick from all the bullying that I experienced all throughtout high school, and to this day it has left me with a lot of resentment and deep-rooted beliefs about myself that I'm unworthy and insignificant.
I was never bullied at school but there was always name calling and just general nastiness which was at times was very unpleasant but I wouldn’t describe it as bullying.

Junior high school. I was picked on because I was a fat kid. The worst offender was this kid that was 17 in the 9th grade. I do not know whatever happened to him but If I ever see him gain he might get a swirly.
Yeah, I was bullied throughout my entire life. Even my mom bullies me and everyone in my family targets me. I've accepted that it's part of life and there's not much that can be done except if I moved to a place where I don't have to see anyone
But don’t give up, you will learn to adjust to your surroundings. Bullies usually don’t accomplish much in life. I believe they feel inferior so they bully. all the people who’ve bullied me, never hear about them accomplishing anything.
I'm sorry to hear that I can't imagine how it feels... my type is only temporarily so I didn't have any more seizures from age 13 and up. I wish you the best
For a brief time yeah but fought back. Sent one flying down the stairs. They had to take her to the hospital. Throat punched another the same day, put her in the hospital too. They got the message and left me alone and quit bullying after that.
I was in elementary school. All the girls would tease me about my hair. I was the only white girl in the class. It got better in first grade.

Yep always comes home with Cuts and bruises. If I try to stand up then their backup comes then the beating is worse then you’ll be waking at the hospital finding out a week went by.
A tall mexican girl with a quick and brutal wit that knew how to scrap with boys back then? No. I think I came off kind of intimidating even though deep down inside im pretty sweet and kind of nerdy.
Hey, everyone agreed with me though so it doesn't really get held against me if it is true. That would be like saying I am not nice because I pointed out a stop sign is red.
That is as dumb as saying nothing is wrong with calling a fat person a fat ass cause it is true. Doesn't make the person any less of any asshole for saying that to them. You are ignorant. I bet if people said about your appearance and they said but it is true, you would still think they are an asshole for putting you down. Hypocrite.
Just because something is true doesn't mean you blurt it out to another person. That makes you a jerk. Go to a store and tell a fat person to their face"fat ass". That is your logic. That nothing is wrong with it cause it is "true" and everyone else would agree with you that the person is fat. Child like thinking.
Oh, but hun, I put my appearance down all the time. There isn't anything you can say about it that I haven't said myself. My typical one is that I am a hideous trash monster. Feel free to use it if it makes you feel better.
Her nose is so large that she is not so much Bri-Z as she is a category 3 hurricane when she sneezes.
You should have put the mask on the camera lens to save us from seeing the top half of your face too.
A lot of people say your eyes are piercing, but that is just a very polite way of them saying they would rather poke out their eyes with a knife than see you.
Are you making a peace sign in your photo or showing us the numeric representation of bodily functions that you think your face looks most like?
Like I said, you can say all you want about me. I already don't think much of myself physically. I am nice though, I just don't play well with people who want to be jerks. I give it right back to them.
A kid tried to but I was so oblivious to it he got bored and stopped. I only realised a couple years after school, when one of my friends mentioned it.

Yes but I didn’t realise it was bullying at the time. I had a lot of people try to steal friends from me. Try to isolate me. Turn others against me. Start nasty rumours etc.
Growing up some kids called me names because of my looks and build. I hated school because if this and it even affected my grades. Some if these kids are now out of shape and no longer attractive.
I would be the person to get in that bullies face. Pull you aside and have you hang out with me and my crew. Nothing tough about picking with someone who dosent defend themselves. NOT COOL
Yes I got bullied in primary school I think but I was strong as a child , their bullies wouldn't hurt because all teachers loved me simply the love from other people protect me and gave me confidence in myself
Isaw kids get bullied, but I was on the track team and played football, so I had tons of friends. I felt a little bad for them. I tried not to join in most of the time.
Not throughout all of highschool but in grade 11. Some people found out one of my secrets and I got bullied for it. But people just got bored and eventually stopped.
I guess. Insulted and mocked a lot, and à couple of times it went physical. That's fine, it hardened me. The world is a shitty place, and I've learned it first hand very quickly.
I was both bullied and a bully. I just hated that I was quite a quiet kid who gets picked on so I act toughed and be an annoyer class clown. Mostly verbal abused but that's not bothering me anymore.

I was until I punched the kid. (Physically and verbally bullied: It was 3rd grade). Then by my “best friend” in high school (verbally).
