Were you bullied when you were younger?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I was.

No, I wasn't.

[ohshee]

When I was in 3rd or 4th grade there used to be three brothers give it try to pick on me but I was a faster runner LOL and probably for about a month they used to chase after me if they caught me they would punch me in the arm or my back they would want either my lunch or my lunch money and I wouldn't give it to them and when did I went home and I asked my stepdad to teach me how to fight he asked me why and I told him and you should do you want me to go to school talk to the teacher or the principal but I said no I should just tell me what to do so he told me and one day I saw them coming and I didn't run two guys grab both my arms and then when brother got behind me she was going to kick me in my ass you guys had my arms stretched out and the one that was going to kick me in the ass started Counting and 1 2 3 and at that moment I moved my hips forward so when he kick he missed me can you kick with so much pressure his leg went up at his feet went out from underneath him the other two brothers started laughing at him have you stood up and he goes I'm going to kick your ass in the moment he got to his feet I smacked him in his mouth so hard did he went back down and said it Brothers both just stood there with their mouths open I told him not to ever touch me again otherwise I would kick their asses and I turned around and I walked away they never did bother me again

Then when I got the high school I had this kid that lived about a block away from me he used to ride my bus and he was kind of a slower guy and everybody would give him a hard time but it wasn't anything bad we were just teasing but not in a nasty tease it was kind of in a friendship to you because we all lived around each other when do in school I was walking down the hallway and I saw some kid had jay-tee up against the wall and I walked right by it and I got like 20 feet away and I was just going with the fuck is they doing and I turned back around and I walked up grab the guy to come up this one I said don't ever touch my friend again and I seemed the guys before there's like three or four of them that I said that goes for all of you I turned around and walked away and jay-tee in about four of his friends they're all kind of the same way but they ran up to me and was thanking me because I guess it has been going on since junior high school that guy used to pick on him but anyway two days later walking down in the hallway and I see that same crowd of people kind of same boys and what is the guy's friends has one of JT's friends up against the law picking on him and I grabbed a hold of that guy and I told him the same thing you ever text this guy again I will kick your ass and I think that goes for all these guys did all used to slow guys they all used to hang around together I said if anybody touches him I'm going to kick your ass well from that day on I had like five guys always try to try to talk to me always thanking me I've been in many fights because somebody was picking on their girlfriend hitting your girlfriend kicking their dog yelling screaming at your kid holding them up in the air with one arm and smacking them and I know it's none of my business but in that moment I see that I'm going to put a stop to it I got my ass kicked before by a couple guys because I've done this but to this day I have to still do it again anybody that picks on somebody knowing that they can kick their ass and they're doing it just because of that reason because they know that they can't get beat up I think is bullshit I have taken on guys twice my size it doesn't matter I don't look at it like that I look at it they're just like me and they're going to hit the ground just like me I'm just going to make them do it first if they don't want to listen I think it's bullshit to pick on people anyway my step dad used to beat me with a belt so I was black and blue and I hate anybody touching anybody just because they can

Yep, kids would talk shit about me during class while the teacher literally stood there doing nothing. If I spoke out even a little I got sent to the office. Eventually it got so bad I'd get ambushed almost daily by at least 5 different kids at various times with the teachers literally watching it all. If I so much as even attempred to defend myself they'd step in, crash tackle me to the ground, apply so much pressure I could barely breathe. Eventually drag me to the office in full view of everyone and lock me in a room and wouldn't even let me out to take a piss, or eat. They'd suspend me from school but would make it so I had to be in the school office for the duration of the suspension. My mother tried to fight it but ended up getting legally gagged. I was also unable to change school for some legal reason

There were other kids who attempted to bully me during elementary & high school but I turned the tables around on them.

However, 2 larger girls I've never ever dealt with before accosted & sexually assaulted me in the college gym locker room showers and never approached me again. I filed a formal complaint against them with the campus police. My friends also imposed their own form of justice on them. None of us established or confirmed that they truly were bullies since they may not have bullied anyone else. Many of us suspected they molested me at the behest of someone else. We never found out.

[Iron_Man]

That’s sexual rape a crime why didn’t you report it

[DeeDeeDeVour]

@Iron_Man I did. I filed a formal complaint against them with the campus police.

[Iron_Man]

I hope they went to prison

[Kayla45]

Yep, absolutely I'm autistic and was bullied relentlessly for it in school during the early 2000's. Bullied for something I had no possible control over, awkward mannerisms and quirks.

I used to play volleyball for example and the other girls would try to punt the ball in my face as hard as they could, once I was hurt so badly I had to be taken to the hospital to get stitches. My mom then transferred me to a different school for people with disorders like me. Shockingly it was much better there.

[Kayla45]

In general public schools were a nightmare for me.

[Apulu_3]

I was bullied in grade school till 3rd grade. Then due to bully I changed the school and here also I was about to be a a victim of bully but then I changed my personality and became a cold person. And yes I do bully those who bully others so no one will go through what I went from. I try to prevent it as much as I can and of course it is like my duty as I'm discipline monitor of my batch. But I am still hated I don't know why.

[IveGotNoName]

Yes. Might sound silly to people that aren't familiar, but I used to do professional ballet (about 35 hours a week) and ballet teachers can truly be bullies. They stop talking to you like you are a person. Things like "you'll never be good enough, if you don't change" and "I feel like I'm wasting my time on you" are not unusual comments to hear multiple times in a week, and it caused me a lot of serious mental issues that I still struggle with today, almost 4 years after I quit dancing.

[IveGotNoName]

Most people in my class also got eating disorders (yes, very clichè, but very true) because teachers would tell them they were not skinny enough (and we were all underweight)

[egdev5]

Sorry to hear that. I bet your a wonderful dancer.

[SISWITHBROTHER2]

YES ,, my brother older than me bullied me a lot. He wanted this and he wanted that, then he would threaten to beat me if I didn't. So I finally gave in to him. It was better than him beating me again.

[Dargil]

Yes, I was but began carrying a..

A couple of "incidents" quieted things down.

[dustybiker]

Everyone is on some level. It’s how well we assert ourselves to our peers is what level of respect we are given by them. Natural process of growing up.

[exitseven]

Yes in 9th grade , it was really hard to deal with but I got into a weight training program and by the time I was a junior in high school the football coach approached me and asked me if I wanted to try out for the football team.

[FR_Ruby]

I think kids were too cowardly to bully me. Bullies just picked on smaller kids. Sometimes I thought there weren't bullies anymore but there still are.

[egdev5]

Yes I was and it sucked. You grow older and either treat people better or become a shity person. In my case it made me a much nicer person.
Kids are kids, but they definitely need a good talk to about how to treat others.

[DJB72]

Yes. Mostly psychological but one guy s year older than me tried it physically. Until I fought back and knocked him on his ass.

The mental stuff was worse

[PralineCream]

yes I was, I was a sweet kid/bullied for my weight and looks and accent. Now i'm a pretty woman with an attitude to anyone who tries to disrespect me

[Nomina]

Not, really no. At least I don't remember an instance when that happened.

[Blackcupcake]

no, I had a really strong personality so it was hard for anyone to pick on me. however I had a really hard time making girlfriends when I was younger lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, very severely, I should of filed lawsuit against the school district also it was pretty bad when the teachers even talked stuff on me about my weight

[FinalFantasyBro]

I dealt with bullying in both elementary and middle school, especially in middle schools I still have those awful memories. Why do some children have to be so mean?

[nice-girl]

Sometimes not too often when I was a kid. In high school very rarely

[Somegirl408]

yes a bit but only by one girl, luckily i never had people ganging up on me

[t-8900]

Yes and it really hurt my growth in my early adult years

[dragoblack]

All through elementary & part way through jr high by students & teachers along with being beaten up every day by the neighborhood bullies around the apt complex i was living in

[ChefPapiChulo]

everyone got bullied back then. in 9th grade i was friends with all the other kids. So my friends would give me rippers. Which is when they pull your underwear up.

[OnTheLevel]

If you are asking if anyone ever made fun of me about something, yes. I'm fairly certain every single person has experienced this to some degree. But, I was not bullied.
