Is bullying bad?

[OddBeMe]

I've been bullied- shocking- and while theyre bad memories I used it as ammo for this fcking world. Sure... other white boys use actual bullets. But I don't think it's because of bullying. It's psychopathy.

I remember seeing the diaries of the Columbine kids. Not one page about bullies. Just hatred for the world.

Yes it's bad. Should have ZERO tolerance

Nah, it's not that bad. Don't tolerate, but don't put kids in plastic bubbles

Middle ground- I have no dick

I was bullied a lot growing up because I was quiet and according to them ugly. I switched schools in grade 7 and that was the worst time in my school life. I made friends right away but then because I said I liked this loser (I didn't really I just didn't want to be mean to her) all my friends turned on me and then I had no one. Plus my teacher shouted at me everyday because I couldn't see the board but I didn't tell him so I wasn't getting my work done. I made a plan to blow up the school because I wanted to kill them all, especially my teacher, because he was always putting me down in front of the whole class shouting saying stuff like "Are you stupid?" because I was scared to ask him things, so I did work wrong or would use the wrong colour for something. I almost stabbed him in the eye with a pencil but held it in. I had to go to the washroom to cry because I sooo badly wanted to kill him that last day. I wasn't serious about blowing up the school because obviously I didn't know how to make bombs and of course I ain't going to prison for a bunch of assholes but my mom found my drawings and was like wtf is this? I told her, and she went to talk to the school, then she let me drop out because I didn't like their options. Children's aid came and was willing to pay me every week to go back but I wasn't budging.. I said the only way I was going back is if I could go to my old school, it wasn't in my district so they weren't letting me so I kept saying nah I ain't going.. So after 2 months and seeing I didn't care what they had to offer they got me back in my old school lol. I continued to get bullied but I could handle it because I known those pricks for years and my teachers were okay.. until 11th grade, I snapped and pushed someone down the stairs.. I started cocking off to people who were mean to me, getting people who bothered me beat up by my popular childhood friends and being a class clown. I was never bullied again. I defo think it is bad to let bulling happen because even now I hate people and have low self esteem.. I just am cordial to others because you have to be to get by in society.

When I was a kid I was bullied for being fat. It hurt my feelings but now I realise if they hadn't called me out on my immoral lifestyle when they did I would still be fat today, even obese. It gave me the motivation to exercise and eat healthy. My parents are very much about fat acceptance and don't like when I say that what they were doing to my as a child was child abuse, I grew up thinking there was nothing wrong with me.

Now I realise that being fat or obese is immoral and shameful. For it's effects on climate change, the burden it puts on the medical system, the greed of eating more than you need when people are starving, the smell etc.

My bullies had the obligation as Christians and moral authority to shame me and I'm so thankful to them.

[Anonymous]

the virtue signalers saying bullying is bad have no problem bullying incels and Christians and then gaslighting them into thinking they deserved to be bullied. bunch of hypocrites

that being said, bullying is absolutely necessary. it's survival at the fittest

and if ANTIFA wants to come knocking on my door, I welcome them with open arms and closed fists

[Sevenpointfive]

i was small, but i was popular and had a lot of friends that were bigger than anyone that could bully me. a couple tried but they soon found out that i didn't even need protection. get swole niggah

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Yes it's bad. There's plenty of ways to build character without forcing to also have very bad time. Just do a sport or some shit.

[OddBeMe]

So again... youd go 100% the opposite way and protect the kid at all costs?

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Wym? I'd rather kids learn to be tough by playing sports than by being picked on & attacked.

[OddBeMe]

As we see in sports stars, they take their violence home.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

I didn't say all kids should be pro athletes. U can play a sport in school as extra curricular. Bullying ur partner/family is also bad.

[OddBeMe]

So aggression and character come from playing sports…(flashing memory of how many athletes are in prison)

[Juxtapose]

This reads like:

"My father beating my ass with a leather belt built character."

[Juxtapose]

Bullying is not okay and should not be tolerated.

[OddBeMe]

That would be physical abuse and illegal.

[Juxtapose]

Hence "like" and not "exactly as."

You know what I mean. It's fucked up to justify abusive behavior.

[OddBeMe]

I didn't use like. Parents whipping their kids with a belt is a little different than being zero tolerance to bullying. All's I'm saying

[Juxtapose]

lol no dude, *I* did use "like."

Abuse is abuse. Your mind can be broken and there are kids that kill themselves from this shit. It goes beyond harassment, which is *already* illegal.

[OddBeMe]

For sure. Absurdist to think I'm for bullying. It's the response Im asking about. You're basically arguing for a woke anti bully approach

[Juxtapose]

Kids shouldn't be harassed in school. It's not tolerated in cooperate offices either.

[Juxtapose]

*corporate

[OddBeMe]

So you’re woke against bullying.

[Juxtapose]

No, it's already against the law to harass people. Children being harassed should be protected because they are a more vulnerable part of the population and they don't have rights. They often go to these schools that have zero tolerance policies against violence when you are supposed to punch bullies in the face to get them to stop.

Only a sadistic prick would give a child no options of retaliation and expect them to take over a decade of bullying with a smile. That's going to leave mental scars and is worse than a lot of cases of harassment already on the books.

[Juxtapose]

But go ahead, make the case that harassment against kids should be okay and that I am woke for wanting kids to not get harassed. I'm sure that would look real good for you!

[gatixek710]

You being bullied is the only truthful thing you have ever said on this site.

[OddBeMe]

No I've debunked all your Trump parroting with the truth. you're just too stupid to realize.

[gatixek710]

You need to be bullied more

[Staximus]

I used to get bullied a little when I was in elementary school, until I realized that I could just kick their ass and not be bullied anymore

[Sasahara]

Yes actual bullying is bad.

[OddBeMe]

[Sasahara]
