I was actually, it all happened in Middle School as far as I remember. I've had weight problems for a long time but it was most apparent in 5th-beginning of 7th grade. In 6th grade there was this really skinny kid named Trevell, He wanted to make sure I knew about his dislike for "fatasses" every day at lunch...and one day I just snapped, grabbed the guy by the throat and started to slam him into the nearest wall. Needless to say the fat jokes stopped and I became a pacifist and learned to control my emotions. Nowadays ever since I sorta evened out, people think i'm He-Man or some shyte. Nowadays it's all honky dory. Whenever someone tells me "i'll kick your butt" (insert generic ugly insult) I just respond by looking at them, laugh in their face, then tell them something along the lines of "You talk alot, but you sure don't go through with your actions" (Of course add a cuss word or two in there.) And they don't bother me anymore. |

no one would want to lay a finger on a wrestler like you I can say I haven't been bullied much. Maybe some stupid things here and there. I don't really care though, they all are stupid anyway. |

Surprising enough I was bullied like hell back in my younger days, and not for looks, or academics or sports or anything like that. No I got bullied for the purpose of my own opinion. I've always been an agnostic (Although I referred to myself as atheist during this time) and when your living in the south, you can tell how this can go. It's one of the reasons I get all up in those Deep Discussions involving religion. I also had a tendency to like to be by myself back in the days and eve. now I really appreciate having privacy and for me, I'm the kind of person who'd rather spend maybe a few hours at most with friends, and then just have time completely by myself. No doubt helped by the fact that I was raised as an only child. This pretty much lasted up until high school, where things began to change, I met up with lots of new people and frankly did a complete 180. Now a days it's like people who I don't even know start talking to me, and I'm pretty cool with most people and have quite a few friends. The only thing I honestly regret is never sticking up for myself back in the day. I just let it slide off my back, sticks and stones kind of thing and honestly think I'd rather have thrown a punch and get in trouble while fighting for my beliefs at the time then just sucking it up. Now a days of course I've got so much confidence in myself and my abilities, be it physical or mental that I have no intention of letting crap get slung at me without repercussions. |

^ This. That's pretty much the problem I had. The only difference is that I was bullied for no apparent reason. Some people just started to pick on me one day in Middle School and it worsened from there on out. I'm totally with you man. I would try to avoid a confrontation at all costs but if I was forced to do that, I would have to take action. Even if it means getting my rear end handed to me. |

As long as you stand up for yourself, that's all that matters in the end. Win or Lose you show them you're not going to take shyte from them. The message sent through the action speaks more than a win or a loss. |

I got teased in primary school, but I did a lot of teasing back. Secondary school was different. My friends and I were pretty much considered the nerds of our year since we were the only few guys in the brightest group. We weren't exactly targetted or anything; I had friends from more popular groups and was generally liked, but obviously not everyone's going to be liked by everyone. I was pretty passive and avoided arguments, but whenever someone provoked me enough, I used to start fights with them -- managed to earn the nickname "Hulk" that way and after a while people knew to avoid pissing me off. It mostly died down during the last two years of school. I tried to defend people -- particularly the younger kids -- from being bullied since I knew how s*** it felt. Funny story: this short kid in my sister's year (they were year 8 when I was in year 11) was picking on a year 7 at the bus stop. He made me rage so I grabbed the kid doing the bullying by the collar and told him to f*** off, and he threatened to get his brother and dad on me. Next day his dad turned up, and he was barely taller than his son

I was teased and made fun of for trivial things, but I don't think it ever got to a point where I'd consider it bullying. I totally admire you guys for not only being so open about your experiences in this thread but for rising above the bullying and taking it as a learning experience and as a character builder. That's the right spirit to have. The closest experience to bullying I had was around the time I started joining bands and hanging out with all the musical people (who were mostly guys). I was completely rejected by the majority of females in my school and I started seeing for the first time how catty girls can be at that age. Luckily I had a good enough head on my shoulders to know how to brush that off and focus on the people that mattered. And it was kinda cool for us at the time to be the "outcasts" since it sorta went hand in hand with the music we were into, so we were just like "whatever" and decided to embrace and own the rejection. Like bawsses

I've been bullied twice and then nearly a third time. I think the second time went a long way in to making me the socially awkward reject I am today. First was when I was like 6, this fat kid David used to bully me, school did nothing no matter how much my mum complained, boys mother done nothing either. Then I got to a boiling point, beat him up, pushed him in a sandpit and peed on him. No idea why but that's how it went and after that almost everyone in our class bullied him throughout school because it turned out he was a crybaby. Have to admit, I always enjoyed that. Second time was...not sure when but for a longer time and was basically the whole group of boys I hung out with, mainly started with an older boy, about 3-4 years older and like twice the size of me. He would steal my shoes or something like that and then pass them around everyone like a game, I was always the short kid so outmatched in all ways. Stopped some time after my mother and step-father confronted the boy but by then I'd already crept in to a shell and had just 2 friends from the group. And when they were all together again they'd say my mum was a b*** because she hit the older kid and they "saw" it, she never, obviously the boy was like 11. And also my step-father "chased him round the school with a bit of wood" yet that never showed up on the camera's... Kind of third time was this thuggish kind of guy in high school, he'd put everyone in headlocks and stuff like that if they were smaller than him but I was one of the few who had had enough of bullying and fought back so he moved on to the next guy. Schools really suck with bullying I think all should be way more strict, to the point where pupils get expelled for it somewhat quickly. Undiagnosed autism had a lot to do with my social awkwardness but I could make friends and mix with other kids before they turned on me, now I still can't mix and I'm 20 it really stunted my social growth which was already struggling to begin with. Even if you don't really realize it, it can kind of ruin your life or at least destroy a large part of what would have been your life by halting crucial areas of your psychological development. Think how many rapists, murderers and serial killers were bullied as kid, most if not all of them. It should be way bigger a deal, not just in fancy schools. |

Most of the time, people who got bullied archieve more in life, than bullies. I know that doesn't cure the emotional trauma, but that is something that helps me keep my chin up. |

It's a two way street also, schools should look in to it more because if a kid is bullying others then it's quite likely they're being abused in some way at home, it's almost never for no reason. Kids that act out like that never really ask for help so it's only going to change if the neighbours witness and report any abuse, social services only really monitor families who've already been reported for something so they can't be expected to stop it all. All schools should have social workers in every month or two to check up on each kid I think rather than hoping a teacher notices something they're not trained to notice. That would probably be more effective because if the school contacted the family of the bully, an abusive father is going to get mad at the kid. But if social workers show up one day, they're not going to be prepared to hide any bruises and the problems, for everyone, will be sooner sorted out. |

Think about that practically, though: your average UK school has around 500-700 students. Imagine the amount of workers you need to check up on literally every school kid around the country... |

Well, it is their job... In the UK there aren't enough social workers, adding that would create many more job openings, people would jump on that and it's a good job to do. Tough to manage every school, that's wishful thinking, but even like half would make a huge difference. Kids are the future after all, a lot of potential is wasted by them shutting themselves away due to bullying or domestic abuse. |

so have every single kid watched but only expect half of them to taken care of properly because you admit it'd be a tough job. that's obviously wouldn't be a waste of money and manpower. |

This. Schools are way too passive on the bullying issue. They like to talk about what their going to do to punish any potential bullies but they end up doing jack s*it (sorry for the use of profanity but it's true). Theirs been multiple oppertunities were i've seen teachers have the oppertunities to end bullying dead in it's tracks but they choose to only verbally warn them not to do it and nothing changes. And if the victim ever tries to fight back against the bully, he's the one who winds up getting the real punishment or even suspended. It's almost like the school's trying to help the bully. It's pathetic reallly. |

I think to teachers students look like kids so to them it doesn't seem as serious. |
