Nope because I don't go out. I go work which is half a mile down the road. I don't go anywhere else and I wear normal clothes when going out. As you'll see in many of my pictures, but...hay...yeah...w/e

I am going to become a Travis Bickle type hero. You have been warned...

Then you were being bullied for no reason.

There's no reason for bullying at all, regardless.

We all probably have thoughts and sometimes may bitch and talk, but I don't think we'd go out our way to make that known if it is going to insult that person. I know I wouldn't. That is just cruel.

I was bullied for being me. Who I am. The way I talk, the way I walk, mannerisms, hair, weight etc etc. 'Who I am'.

I got bullied briefly in Year 7 but I put paid to that straight away. I'm very unassuming but wickedly manipulative & crafty when I want to be. Never take on a bully head on, just turn everyone against them and put them on the outside. By the time they tried to retaliate I had friends in a lot of places so they knew they couldn't try anything. Knowledge is power but numbers ain't bad either. That and I do quite a good impression of being unhinged

That's my advice if you can do it, turn everyone against them. Morally grey? Yes but very effective.

Typing that has made me realise how much I've changed sicne my school years really.

Can't believe that at all to be honest... Year 2 you are about 6/7? year 6 you are about 10?

So you believe there can be a good reason to bully someone?

Nice to know people can come to you and you can decide whether or not them being tortured was justified.

No there's never a reason, I was just thinking of WHY he might have been targeted.

^That's not bullying, that's just getting your own back.

Never been bullied which is weird considering i was always pretty short until like year 9 and until i started weightlifting i wasnt exactly built.

I was quite in with the sort of popular group so it has never been a problem, had a couple of people start things over nothing but nothing happened, dig in the ribs and they soon shut up.

People can often have more respect if you stand up for yourself.

Now i dont like to see bullying, and although you can stop it for a day.. as ive stepped in a few times for people, but you cant be there all the time so its impossible.

Certain types become more determined in life due to bullying though.

[Mr XcX]

Had a few remarks at me but it just made me thick skinned.

If you cannot cope with these idiots then you will never get far in life.

Bully's knew I would have them if they resorted to physical attacks. They would not dare.

That last sentence reminds me of the Ricki Lake show when she has people come on who were bullied and they want to show their tormentors (now all grown up) how they've changed.

The amount of times the victim says "I want to thank you, because you motivated me to change myself". What sort of a message is that to send out - not everyone can deal with bullying in that way, some are crushed to the point of suicide. I would never change anything about myself to suit someone else's idea of what I should look like, or who I should be - if you don't like me for whatever reason, deal with it. Why would you want to seek approval from a bullying arsehole?

Once, in year 7, some year 9 kid burnt my PE bag and all my stuff that was in there while I was playing football to look big in front of his friends. I t**tted him when I found out and never had any grief from anyone after that. He even bought me a new bag, PE kit etc.

Don't know if that's really classed as bullying but I think the best way to deal with it is ignoring it tbh.

Why should some people have to deal with bullies? And if you cannot deal with them, you won't get far in life? Absolute narrow minded comment.

You think you're so 'ard it's unreal

I agree with Turtle, only I'll say it in my way, you're talking complete and utter bollocks.

People shouldn't have to be bullied to 'get far in life'.
You get far in life by being a good person and working hard.

Why would three year 6 girls bully someone in year 2?

Well then darling, let the bully walk all over them!

They will be walked all over in life.

Bullying is horrible. I was bullied myself in primary school because of how I look: I wear glasses, I'm overweight, had black hair and people used to call me a nerd, most of my friends were outcasts too you could say as well. And my Mum lives abroad, which didn't exactly help. One day the whole class (apart from a couple of my friends) turned against me, and next thing I knew I had about ten or so kids around me with a bunch of them beating me up. For no reason

It used to make me really angry whenever someone insulted me because of what happened to me throughout primary school too, but about halfway through Year 7, I was past the point of caring. I've learnt that there's no use getting angry and that I should just go along with it (e.g if someone insults me) or just ignore them. The less of a reaction a bully gets out of you, the less he will actually bully you.

So now I'm a lot more mellow about it when someone starts calling me names. I do think my past experiences have affected me negatively though - I almost always will avoid any form of conflict. I hate it. Argument/fight I'm like a doormat

All in all, bullying is horrible thing no one should go through.

Again absolute narrow minded comment. I was bullied for a very long time, and I'm doing very well in my life.

Still doesn't excuse bullies who obviously have some insecurities of their own that they are trying to repress.

Well I think you are narrow minded.

I was Bullied but I dealt with it swiftly and they never bothered me again!

Also, I apologize if you think I was insinuating people who are bullied never are successful. I did not mean that.

This happened to me. People just making comments about me, I just found them pathetic. Probably doing nothing with their lives now.
