Bullies...what is the point of them? I mean, how do you find pleasure in laughing at a kid because he's over-weight/weak/likes certain music? I've been bullied, don't get me wrong, because of my hair of all things... I get things like 'get a hair-cut'. I don't care personally, I mean, its my hair, I'll do it how I like . I sometimes get the "You wanna go out with my mate here..." malaky, but I figured out the answer to that one... ("Sorry, I don't do men" ). I would dread to think what they would do if they found out I liked Thomas... All I can advise is this. Stay strong, don't give them the pleasure of hurting you. Show your not the weaker link and tell someone. Trust me, its the answer to everything.

I had an extremely long bout of verbal jousting today with one of the b*tchiest girls in the school, Lois. I used that old "use big words and small difficult words" trick on her a fair bit, and I stumped her at one point - fortunately, the teacher overheard her replying with swearing and she was in a lotta trouble - when it came to questioning me, I managed to weasel my way out of trouble.

I have deffo had my fair Share of Bullies, one happened today as it happens, making me feel like destroying owt I could get me hands on.
I had to sit next to this Prat in Science, me so called best mate started him off by happy slapping me round the face, this Prat thought he'd join in and started slapping me an all. Then he flicked me ears, practicly strangled me bonked me on the nose and flicked me in the eye giving me a twicth all afternoon. Me mate wondered why I looked upset, he's done it once before, setting someone off to make me life a misery. When I told him this he was un-usaully quite for the rest of the lesson.
If this carries on I dunno what I'll do. Been speaken to Alaric bout it all afternoon, who as a friend tried to help calm me down and cheer me up. Cheers Pal.

Some tart spat in my face today. I hate bullies! They're allways making fun of the things I like, the things I do or my weight! AND I'M NOT EVEN FAT!!! Happened to me today, and forgive my agressiveness, but I smacked him upside the head in band class. Stupid Patrick, thinking he's better than me. People say I'm fat too, and I really don't give a hoot about that stuff. I tell them to go and find something better to do. In 6th grade, I was severely bullied , and today, it has made me sensitive,and it tends to make a hit to those "just kidding".

Well, there's this one d*cknose in my grade who bullies me on the bus whenever he gets the chance. I mean, this kid is perverted. I actually had the balls to take my girlfriend's backpack and hump it. He did it to mine, too, later that ride. In my dreams I imagine him calling me gay, attempting to punch me, but I, with superhuman strength, kick him in the chest and slap that jack*** every which way to Sunday. (quoted from the Yard). But I know I never would. I'm a wuss. I know I'm tall, but I'm skinny and nerdy-looking, apparently. I'm too much of a softie. Whenever he calls me gay or retard, I just say 'in case you didn't notice, dumbnut, this is a GIRL sitting with me.'

Bullies, where do I begin?... I've been bullied all throughout elementry school. I remember being in kindergarten, seeing the other kids, I just wanted to make friends with them. I got punched in the lip in kindergarten when I sat next to a boy who didn't like me (and this was in kindergarten) All throughout elementry school, I had a few friends who cared for me and supported me. All the girls gave me their attitude, and the boys just ignored me. 6th grade-pretty bad. I was already underpressure, going to middle school, but I had to live with people calling me a fat wh*re and saying I was ugly. (I started believing them after a while) Boys started talking to me. They asked me out, however, they didn't really mean it. I found out they were doing it for money, $50 to be exact. I was hurt really bad. 7th and 8th grade- I'm ok with the kids now, I have a lot more friends, and I'm feeling more comfident.

Wow. Those are some sad stories everyone. Here are mine: When I was in Year 3, I had no friends. I was just all alone. People would like to jump on me and ride me like a horsy. They'd make me do the craziest of things and I was often threatened. Year 5: I was bullied by a student who I am friends with now (we became friends when I was in 6th grade). He told me he was only horsing around. By Year 6, I was still being bullied, but not as much. Year 7: I was rarely being bullied. There was this one kid named Mike who made me bow down to him. I was thinking about it because he was blocking my way out the PE dressing room. I said No thanks and ran as fast as I could. Two days later, I was walking out of the dressing room. He passed by me and punched with almost all of his might in my throat! I wheezed so hard it wasn't even funny. He just laughed evily leaving me wheezing like an old Steam Engine. It soon ended by the start of Grade 8 when we became friends. Year 8: Rarely a sign of bulling from anyone at school. Pretty much because I was friends with the entire school and everyone liked me. I am currently in Year 9 and things are smooth for me in a way. The upperclassmen (Years 11 and 12) usually pick on me, but I know they're just playing. Some tease me for saying "Must be on time, Must be on time." But really I don't have much to do with bullies now.

I know a good way to hit a bully really hard and he might have plastic surgery! RustyFanatic05 already knows about it. She could tell you.

Most bullies are ugly enough to require it anyway..... but in all seriousness, you really shouldn't hit somebody unneccesarily, you'll only make them angrier....

and usually get yourself suspended from school, which would probably lead to more bad things.

Beat 'em back? No, that's the coward's way out. The best thing to do is to be clever. Find their weaknesses and use them to your advantage (not saying bully 'em back, by the way).

I would severly dis-courage fighting for all the reasons listed above. Feeling sneaky, eh DF? Nah, I think the best way is to tell someone. Let it all out and then see what happens.

Last year, I talked to my Head of Year about bullying. She was very helpful, and this year, I don't really have problems with bullies. I just ignore them and think to myself what they'll be doing when I'm happy with my degree in Cartography... if they haven't died they'll be doing sod all!

Well, as they say, the people who are bullying you now will be the same d*cks who will be trying to sell you car insurance, explaining to you why a pay raise is currently impossible, and informing you that your tax return was audited later in life. Ignore them!
Well, maybe not the tax return part, but you know what I mean.

Well, bullies at my school are usually jocks or people with pointless reasons. Same here, Michael. Usually they pick on me because I'm younger (and to them more gullible and make me think they'll beat me up). My teachers aren't around to see them doing it. I don't want to tell or I'll be a "goody-goody tell tale."

There's a lot that can be said about bullying, and yes, it seems as though practically every member here has been bullied at some point - some worse than others....
I can understand you feeling angry after what has happened, after all you have no reason not to. Most of the time, attacks are either unprovoked, or just someone trying to take their anger out on someone else.
Bullies in larger groups mostly only do it to impress their friends. Watch them do it in later life and get arrested.
You can only take each day as it comes, and always make sure someone else knows. Never suffer in silence. If the teachers don't believe you, threaten to take legal action, get proof of what is happening, and just bare with it.
If all else fails, you've always got to remember that years from now, all this will have nothing to do with anything, and it'll all be over.
I've seen a few of the people who bullied me - mostly verbal at school, well, after they found out I knew Judo it was - around town recently, albeit about 3 months apart, but the worst they can do now is be unsure of who I am, and make a 1 liner comment, or some grunt at me..... easily sorted:
"What? It's been 20 years, and you still haven't learned English?"
They don't really seem to care about me anymore, as I've moved on from it, and am only really interested in the people who are my friends.

In 2005 I was in part of anti-bullying group called Trust In Me or T.I.M.s for short. I was on BBC breakfast new in 2004 for anti-bullying week. Then I was on a DVD about bullying and I was show on Sky Television at some point! With the group I went to a big conference at Leicester City Football Ground and I became a respected member of Leysland High School. But when I got up to Countesthorpe Community College this changed and I was just the same as everyone else!
I was bullied in yr5 and 6 because i like thomas and friends by someone who had two thomas names for middle names Thomas and Douglas. Eventually i found last year he bullied me because he was scared of me! Talk about stupid, and then he was beat up on his first day of yr7 because he was sooooooooooo big headed!
