Cannot say that I have first hand experience of being bullied, I was bigger than anyone my age basically until high school. And there simply wasnt that much cyber bullying when I was growing up.

I dont have any evidence for this, but how can physical bullying still happen? Schools have cracked down on that. This isnt a tv show where all the kids are scared of the bully and refuse to tell parents, admins, teachers.

These days I'd say it's more on the psychological side, physical is more rare in my opinion.

Confident and therapy isn't something that comes instantly and easily. This is why its difficult to get a person who has a phobia of something to get over their fears. You can't just go up to them and tell them to get over it. You have to break it down, start easy and build up the confidence. A person who is afraid of spiders isn't going to stop being afraid if you keep badgering them to stop being afraid.

You need to start out slowly. A picture of a spider, a closer picture, a fake spider, a real spider, a real spider on the counselors hand, a real spider on the person's hand. If you go straight to the last one, you're going to do nothing more than stress out the person completely and increase that fear.

Standing up to bullying isn't easy otherwise it wouldn't be such a huge problem int he first place. The actions that bullying does causes a huge amount of stress, socially, physically and mentally to people. You make it sound likes it easy and you only have to try. Its not that simple and you can quit acting like it is. Stress isn't easy to deal with especially when you don't have the confidence or mindset to do it and it takes people multiple accounts of this stress before they can even gather the confidence to change it and some of them don't.

Some of them are pushed too far off the edge and when you claim that they're the weak ones who didn't try hard enough, that only makes it worse. We're trying to stop bullying not increase it.

There's a reason its so hard to get out of bullying. there's a reason its so hard to get out of an abusive relationship. There's a reason its so hard to get over a phobia. There are people who have gotten over their fears and still feel great stress from the actions that have happened. Bullying isn't something to be be pleased by, its a sick and abusive nature that only puts great stress on others. A stress that is neither easy to get over or easy to forget.

Meh, you probably bullied them for good reason. Bullying is a healthy aspect of life for the most part.
I never said it was 'good'

I'd advise that you stop your trolling now, before it escalates even further.

I figured as much. If this is the case, cyber bullying, name calling stuff like that is generally the type of bullying going on in schools now. When you're dealing with name calling, the way I see it, it is important that you have friends. If some dickhead is calling you names, you can just laugh him off if you have friends that respect you and like you. Having people to support you mitigates name calling and cyber bullying IMO.

That's easy enough if you've got a group of friends to go to. Not everyone is that fortunate sadly, and they are forced to deal with it on their own.

Is cyber bullying real? Seems like the most pansiest stuff I ever heard. How can you be cyber bullied? Lol. That seems like a joke. And yea I think I don't understand where you guys are coming from because like HMC, I never been bullied. I never stood for it, and that's my understanding of how bullying works. Someone tries to mess with you and you put them in their place. Period.

Question for those that are still in school. Is there any real physical bullying? Obviously, there might be some extreme cases, but for the most part, there was no physical bullying in my schools growing up.

Having just graduated high school, I can say I didn't see any physical bullying in the four years I was there. That said I don't know about what would happen behind the scenes. At my school it was most girls who would bully other girls. The guys pretty much just kept to their group of friends, and didn't bother anyone else. The bullying that these girls did would definitely be mental bullying though. They would spread rumours, name call, and put others to shame.

You're definitely not the kind of person who would be bullied. You're also viewing this from your own perspective, which is a very one sided point of view and you have no clue what sort of hell people go through with bullying.

In my school physical bullying happened, but was rare.

Thats another interesting question. Are there a lot of "loners" or "socially awkward" people in schools that dont have friends? I feel bad just thinking about people in school eating lunch alone or being harassed with nobody to stand up to them.

Yea I couldn't afford to think like that. Thinking like that is weakness and weakness allows you to be bullied. So the steps I had to take mentally to make sure I wasn't bullied have brought me on a far different path than those who have been. I'm pretty crazy though, if someone was bullying me relentlessly, I would go as far as killing them if need be. That's the mental edge to defeating bullies. Willing to go further than your enemy. If he pushes me, I punch him, if he punches me, I stab him, if he has a knife, I get a gun and so on. This is coming from someone who lived in NYC though, it's a whole different animal here and if you aren't prepared to be violent you will be eaten alive. Dog eat dog world and I ain't getting bit.

Not many, but enough. I was like that in Gr 11 before I decided to change my life.

Anyone who implies that being bullied is the fault of the person it's happening to is wrong. That's victim blaming and it's disgusting. The person at fault for bullying is the bully. Period. That's it, no one else. Saying otherwise only makes people feel worse and exacerbates any problems people are having.

It's easy to make those kind of comments when you aren't the one going through it. I was never bullied personally but I saw enough of it and the effects of it to understand how traumatic it can be.

There's a saying. It's called:

"If your going to criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes."

Bullying of any kind isn't something that's not easy to get over. It's stress and any stress can be difficult to handle. This isn't something that is easy to ignore. There are many people who have certain ideologies but the moment you put them in the same place as the people their criticizing, many times you'll see them changing their ways.
