What are your thoughts about bullying? You can include cyberbullying or any other kind of bullying that branches. Just like one of my previous threads - Texting and Driving, bullying has more negative than good that comes out of it. More people against it than for it, I am willing to bet. Discussion about bullying What can be done to prevent it, slow it down, stop it, eradicate it? Bullying. |

I think that people place too much of an emphasis on obvious, physical bullying. Bullying exists in many forms, and not all of them are obvious. But all of them are definitely harmful. Cyberbullying has become a serious issue. Emotional/verbal bullying is also often ignored, but it can be just as harmful. Bullying can also occur within familial and romantic relationships (although this is often termed "abuse") and can exist in both physical and emotional forms. Any form of bullying, abuse, or whatever you want to call it - whether it's you physically beating on someone or just going around making snide remarks about them - can have drastic effects and destroy the self-esteem of another person. I'm willing to bet it's the lead cause of suicide in our teen/young adult population today. |

I was bullied, though not severely. But I'd fight back physically, end up in serious trouble and the psychological bullying would continue. I wouldn't tolerate s*** from anyone, and this made things worse. I barely had any friends. Looking back, now I know I was oversensitive to petty bullying most people encounter and I'd have done better to ignore it, play along and probably befriend those on the aggressive. I often suspect how many kids like me don't help themselves. Socially I was just a disaster. |

My life has generally been pretty good. I really only got picked on very early in school years but that was so early I barely remember it. I generally had a few friends I used to hang out with and we'd swap between groups at recess and lunch depending on what we wanted to do. Whenever I was bullied in school, I ended up walking away, was never physical bullied but psychological, been called names etc. I told myself that in order for them to make fun of me - they must be insecure about who they are to an extent. I did witness bullying quite a bit in school, a bit annoyed with myself now that I didn't stand up and try to stop it - but I walked away and ignored it. I still think bullying is a huge issue, especially cyber bullying, unfortunately its easier, more accessible to and also with less immediate consequence than physical bullying. There is a fair bit more of awareness in Australia about the issue - think we even have an anti-bullying day - But I don't think it's ever going to be eradicated. It just seems to be frowned upon to "dob someone in". The Consequences of telling someone seem to override the fact that telling someone might make it stop. |

I still don't even understand cyber bullying to be honest...just don't talk to them  if someone on Facebook or Skype starts bullying you...delete or block them it's quite easy really, virtually every thing you can be bullied on has a function like that.Since there's just no way to make every person decent I don't think overly sensitive people should ever go on things like Facebook, it's kind of their own fault when one bitchy comment on a Facebook post ruins their day. Emotional/psychological bullying is by far the worst anyway I've experienced that and physical, physical is nothing so long as you're not up against a complete fatty well above your strength level usually you only need to hit back once, telling a teacher does nothing, if bullying is tolerated or not noticed to the point where there's physical contact then the teachers are useless anyway. I don't remember too much about the kind of psychological bullying I received but I had a hard time making friends anyway but my one friend would come get me out then we'd play some kind of game with a group of other kids, then they'd all deliberately alienate me from the group and make me feel terrible. That "friend" and his brother would shut me in their room and force me to watch horror movies(when I was like 6 or 7 this is) which really disturbed me at the time so I often had nightmares about Michael Myers coming in to my room and stuff, perhaps it's why I'm still so paranoid today. So in short with physical bullying, kids should be taught to fight back so long as it's not a big group of kids. Cyber...just avoid social networking sites or block the people that are bullying you. Psychological, kids should be encouraged to ask for help with this one when you're as young as 6-8 you don't have a clue how to deal with it really and the person doing it is most likely in your class where you can't escape them which can make school hell. Teachers should have extensive training on picking up bullying I believe, parents can only do so much most kids are too scared to ask for help. It would help with cutting down the amount off bullies too, you'd save someone from bullying and quite probably stop someone from being a bully which stops them from hurting anyone else. Anyone else who could in turn become a bully and extend the cycle. Pick up the bullying and get social workers to check on the bullies family. nobody bullies for no reason they've probably been abused in some way or been neglected. If there is actually no problem at home having the social workers call round will be enough for the parents to open their eyes and punish the bully. |

Could be that easy if it's someone you rarely talk to or don't know in real life, but what if its a mate of a mate? Someone who regularly comes into your group at school / work / wherever? Not saying that you need to completely ignore it, but I don't think every scenario is the same for just blocking / deleting. Edited by Tonneh, Apr 16 2014, 10:27 AM.

Well i was bullied ...yeah Oh my god those memories, But I dont regret it I mean It really helped me to think more positively and stuff... Believe it or not if you ever got bullied....I reckon it is either your classmates/in elementary school or high school/ You have two damn fine options 1.) Believe me I am an expert in this s***, So Let s say it is high school bully but it can be easily used in almost every scenario So The bully usually is a f***ing coward, or a weakling moron, so he let s say it is a male person, usually or not usually, almost likes the idea that he has power to control you which he will and most certainly can use . Because He bullies you not just because of fun, but it is the method he can only use to fill the gap in his life. There might be a few extraordinary scenario where the bully just simply does it because of fun, but it is just a few ... So finally here is you first option. You can FIGHT BACK yeah some of you might disapprove this but this is definitely a good and effective method. And when im sayin fight back it does not automatically mean that you have to break his nose...No I mean you have to gain power in order to being superior than the bully. In this case he will respect you , not automaticaly but it works definitely thus the bully stops So it can be able to achieved by Physical superiority-----break his nose or something /it can really be anything/ which makes you above him.//overwhelm him in anything/ Option 2: IGNORE HIM if he witnesses that you are totally ignore him he will not get pleasure by watching you suffer, thus the bully stops This Myths are totally useless, really I ve tried that also......-reporting it to either your parents or teacher, the parents method might be working in elementary but most certainly not in high school |

Cyberbullying is kinda dumb to me. If you are being bullied on facebook, there is a block/unfriend button. Or shut off your computer. But I get that these people bring it back to school, but I wouldn't complain about it happening on the computer but rather face to face. Bullying is bad, but still really do not get cyberbullying. |

that's my thinking... everytime I hear someone speaking of cyberbullying I imagine a guy sitting at his computer on facebook just reading the words and crying without closing the computer... |

A person shouldn't have to log off a site that he or she wants to be on because of another person, though. I mean, that wouldn't be fair, but I do smell you guys. It is pretty simple to just log off or walk away. |

Then the person could easily just block the person from making any kind of contact with them. Cyberbullying is no where near as severe as face to face physical/verbal bullying given that it could be prevented by simply not acknowledging the person versus real-life bullying where the issue has to be dealt with. |

Let me give you guys some insight into cyber bullying because I think you're misunderstanding the term. It isn't just random hate speech on random sites; it can be much deeper than that. I'll give some examples, I suppose. We hear stories all the time about girls sending guys nude pictures in confidence (and don't argue that this is stupid because we all do it to some extent), the guy submits them to his friends or an online website, the girls reputation and future are ruined and she kills herself. This falls, believe it or not, under the category of cyber bullying since the bullying was done via technology. Let me just say that if a person I trusted did something like that to me and ruined my reputation or future, I would be extremely depressed and distraught. I don't know if I would kill myself because I've never been in that situation before, but I would definitely be at a loss. I can bring this down to a more personal level if you'd like. As some of you know, my ex has been harassing me on this very forum for a while, posting things for me to see, trash talking me, etc. Hell, she's probably reading this right now. Obviously I can't really do anything about that besides what I've already done, and it was impossible for me to just ignore it or delete my account because of the emotions and circumstances involved. It was very painful, honestly. I've had other instances of cyber bullying as well. Sometimes when I log into tumblr I see hate messages calling me ugly and stupid and that I'm a waste of space. Obviously I ignore them, but once they are seen they can't be unseen, and I'm not gonna lie and say it doesn't hurt my self-esteem. Those are some examples for you. |

No excuse for bullying. I don't care if it starts as friendly banter and goes too far or if you just don't like the person. Keep your mouth shut. Sometimes it can start from two or three people discussing how they don't like a guy. Then each person gradually digs at them more and more until it becomes harassment. Got to be careful with that one. It's one reason not to talk about people negatively behind their back. |
