Did you ever beat up a bully?

Question

And why?

Skinhead-1979 · Accepted Answer

Yep... because I had no choice.

Mind you, I am not violent and I do my best to avoid conflict like the plague... but I have been in fights, of course, all but one a long time ago. I try to de-escalate a situation as best as a can, but when I have no choice I will defend myself.

That Teenager who attacked me 2 years ago, gave me a flying kick against the back of my head I guess because he didn't like the music I was playing, had to be punished. So after spitting out the blood and putting my things away, I went in to exact revenge.

His friends said he has brain-damage, but of course while I was hitting his head I didn't really care about that... and they joined in. I held them all off, and for some reason his friends ran away. I pinned my attacked to the ground, and he started to ask me why I was hitting him.

I told him it was his own bloody fault, that he attacked me and that it was an unproved attack, I told him to fuck off and I let him go.

I had twisted my knee when I received the kick, my face was a bit bloodied (as the photo shows) and my Septum piercing had been knocked out, thankfully, without causing any damage to my nose.

In a betting agency in the High Street I could freshen myself up. The employ was very friendly and had phoned the police because he had seen most happening outside through CCTV. He advised me to go out the back, which I did.

(I still see him sometimes; he has said he does keep an eye out when he says me walking through the High Street)

I went to the Police Station to rapport it; they didn't even come down to open the door. The next day I did receive a phone call, but I refrained from pressing charges. Nothing will come out of it, and a custodial sentence is not going to help the boy.

I've never seen that boy again... though I have been harassed a couple of more times by other, random, people.

I am not that impressively build with my 5'6 and 62kg/ 9.76 Stone/ 139lbs... I can stand my ground if I have to... but as I have said I'd rather de-escalate a situation. I've succeeded the other times without any, or much, issues.

There was a kid in my high school he rode the same bus as me he lives like two blocks away he's a pretty good guy he was just really slow...

And one day I walk down the hallway it is a bunch of kids yelling screaming and there was some guy that had Jr that's the kid it took my bus up against the wall and taunting him.. . Making him say stupid stuff and I thought to myself if I keep walking I'm just as bad as that bully because JR could not protect himself so I turned around through the guy off of Jr
And I told him never to touch my friend again or otherwise I would kick his ass this guy had three or four of his friends with him and I just looked at all of them and said that goes for all you guys a couple days later different hallway but now that bully had one of Jr's friends up against the wall doing the same thing so I had to stop that..

I hate. Bullies because you never see them pick on somebody that can defend themselves.

They only take on people that are physically or mentally weak and I think that's bullshit too... But I didn't have to be the guy up he got the message... But I would have if I had to and I would do the same thing today if I saw somebody picking on somebody they could not defend themselves

Indirectly. With 16 I took a bus at morning to ride to school I visited. Some guy who used same bus regularly started to annoy and behaved inelegant towards me. I told my boyfriend who was captain of handball team in school that he should take care for this guy and he beat the shit our of him. Few days later as I used the bus, bullying stopped.

Not exactly but I did punched her enough for her to feel it. I never like beating up people nor overdoing it. I only punched once after getting shoved 3 times and surrounded by idiots wanting a fight. I felt literally ambushed, cornered and wanted to free myself from both that crowd pressuring us to fight and her not getting away from me.

Never did that to a bully.

Once in elementary school. Another time in high school.

Both were trying to bully me. The only in elementary school always came behind me because he was like 2 feet taller than me at the time and got me in a pretty tight headlock. The 2nd or 3rd day/time he did it, I got fed up. I grabbed his arm around my neck and tossed him into the chalkboard. He tried retaliating with a punch in the face. I dodged it and punched him and he started crying. Then I felt like I was going to get expelled or something. It was one of the most anxious times in my life lol. As a kid you really experience things differently.

Same thing happened in high school. A guy that was about a foot taller than me and about 70 pounds on me tried getting me into a headlock. I wasn't about it and instantly flipped the kid over me. He got up and tried to play it cool saying "Holy shit man you went super Saiyan. You're fucking strong." Dude never bothered me and actively avoided me after that.

Kids learn to respect you when you aren't afraid to fight back and defend yourself. The bullying immediately stops when they don't see you as an easy target.

I was 17 and It was late at night in the late fall, my best friend invited me for taco dinner night yes we are beautiful Latinas and no I'm not short, just average height, just throwing that in there, well her mom asked us and my best friend cousin to get sour cream, so went then her cousin tells us "let's go down the basement" and I'm like "sure why not"

So we go down the basement that leads us to the grocery store faster because my friend lived in an apartment building anyway while I'm playing my PSP game we encountered this very tall 6" feet girl and her friends

She starts calling my best friend names and me and the cousin are trying to tell her to stop because this is what was said

Bully girl "you dusty crusty Mexican taco"

My best friend "that's why your cow titties sag to the floor"

First of all neither of us is Mexican but because jealous people are racist and we are Latina this is what they do

Bully suddenly goes after my best friend and pushes her to the floor and I run in front of my friend to protect her, I tell the bully to leave my friend alone, then the bully slaps me in the face SO I PUNCHED HER IN THE FACE GRABBED HER BY THE NECK TWISTED HER CHAIN AND STARTED CHOKING HER WITH IT I HAD HER PINNED TO THE GROUND and I told her friend I would kill her if they keep bothering us, they backed up as my best friend and her cousin ran to the exist and I bolted and followed them because more people were coming to jump me and hurt all of us, it was a scary night because they kept chasing after us almost the entire night and I had to keep hiding with my best friend and her cousin, it was crazy but God is good and I was able to make it with my friends to safety. But I was really happy I stood up for myself, and I protected my friend with all my might and I was tired of females like that always bullying me, no bullying is right, but it is important to stay humble.

Once in elementary school, dude was bullying my buddy Ronny on the ski hill making fun of him because he was in a different class than us, so told him to knock it off. The bully took a run at me while we were lining up at the end of recess to body-check me and I ducked forward and braced. I took out his legs and lifted my body at the same time and he did a complete flip over me and landed on his back. I didn't even have to touch him. Teacher said I was fighting and I said, how can I fight someone with my hands in my pocket?

One time a guy sorta kidnapped my girlfriend (it's more fun to call it kidnapping but she couldn't leave so close enough) so I drove across the bridge into new york, pushed my way through a party and smashed the guys face into the glass pane on one of those TV dressers old houses have.

molonski2 · Answer

It was a case of kill or be killed , and I was extremely scared , had to be quick , backhanded him between the eyes a karate move , then punched him in the head as hard as I could , he just stagged , then I smashed him with a baseball bat as hard as I could swing twice at two different angles , he never got a hit in ( which was fortunate ) , after that he threatened me with gang violence , but fortunately I called his bluff and it never happened..

SpeedAnswerDemon · Answer

I did. he bullied me, (this was in middle school I don't report me please) and so I threw him over the fence and dropped a colossal snowman that was right beside the fence on him.

this giga snowman was tall enough that someone jumped from it to the roof of the school, I don't know how they got it that high without keeping it on the wall.

and then I bolted :)

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah. I used to have a guy that would bully me in gym class when I was in school. One day we were coming back inside from playing baseball and I was carrying a bat and he shoved me, that was a mistake. I took the bat and put it over his knee and put him down like Nancy Kerrigan. He didn't bully anymore after that.

MicahRaine · Answer

Surprisingly, I haven't had to do that yet. I'm all for standing your ground and shutting down a bully, but if you can do so without escalating to a physical conflict then there's no reason to fight.

Falcon12345 · Answer

My bully’s from Middle school suddenly stopped after one of them had a concussion and was banned from playing the rest of the Hockey season. To some it’s still a mystery on why there is a head shaped dent in the lockers on the 3rd floor. I didn’t even touch him it was his own stupidity and a missed bull charge

exitseven · Answer

One time I fought with a guy that used to pick on me before I got big. It was more a wrestling match and as we rolled around I rubbed his face in dog shit.

Lionman95 · Answer

Yes and it didn´t turn out well as well as teachers had me apologise for it and had me explain why being aggressive towards others isn´t helpful.

Billlewis · Answer

No, but I've been beaten and humiliated by bullies in front of women whom I had a crush on.

Agape93 · Answer

Yeah. You fuck with a loved one, I'll fuck with you.

Twalli · Answer

The way to beat a bully is to either ignore them or agree. A bully said that I wasn't physically attractive enough to get a girl. When I said "I know", he didn't know what to do.

I stood up to a much larger bully when I was a kid fighting him several times until one day my big brother came along to stand beside me.

Once at about nine. This little a**hole was saying he'd beat me up, then shoved me on the playground, so I kicked his tushy.

I got into a lot of fights, I was taken to court a few times, but I was always right and I didn't get punished, I just got a warning.
