A lot of the little urchins at my school fail to distinguish between Thomas the Tank Engine and actual trains, and assume that because I like real trains I must be obsessed with Thomas. Admittedly that's partly true, but honestly, I find it utterly infuriating that they can't even tell the difference between a fictional little blue tank engine as, say, a Great Western Castle class.

HAHAHAH! I don't have to worry about that crap, cuz I go to Catholic School! Going to a Catholic School doesn't make you immune to bullies anymore than anyone else on this forum. And I know because I've had just as much experience too. One such incident occured in my freshman year of high school, it was during our gym class and we were playing 'kickball-baseball' and as I was getting ready to kick the ball, someone yanked my feet out from under me and I landed flat on my face. Our gym instructors immediately made us spend the rest of the lesson after asking whether I was alright (Which I was). However, that was only part of the bullying in the class that day. I was also rammed up angainst the walk and poked around like I was a package of meat by two other guys. Later that day I was called to the principal's office where she told me she had heard of the incidents in the gym, and I was more or less forced to give names at that point. I had no intention of going to her, and I didn't want to give out names for obvious reasons. Needless to say I didn't enjoy the experience in her office, but the bullying in gym class stopped after that point.

I'll admit to having some...aggressive outbursts...as a child. Being an aspie meant I could get pretty wound up by even mild jesting that wasn't really even intended as bullying. Eventually, I was excused from Gym for that reason.

Somebody attempted to set my hair on fire on the bus this morning! Well, the back of my head was singed by the student who sat behind me (I was on my way to college when this happened) but this was reported the minute I stepped into the main building. Out of all the incidents that happened to me on the bus, that was the worst so far.

Somebody attempted to set my hair on fire on the bus this morning! Well, the back of my head was singed by the student who sat behind me (I was on my way to college when this happened) but this was reported the minute I stepped into the main building. Out of all the incidents that happened to me on the bus, that was the worst so far. Sorry to hear about that Asprail, but it goes to show how stupid some people can really be. Especially on a Bus which is full of CCTV nowadays. I had a Maths Teacher in school once who got her hair set on fire, the Guy got expelled and the Teacher was away for several weeks. I think Bullying comes down to homelife, if you've been raised where your abused by Parents then when you go to school you take your frustrations out on others. I always got bullied in school because of my hair, once it get to a certain length people in my class always used to say I had an afro (which of course my hair doesn't do that) these guys were just a**holes with nothing better to do, plus they always kept thinking I was a gommy with a disability but I have no disabilities and some of my 'so-called' friends just agreed with them. I took so much from one of these guys, and then I hit him in the face because I couldn't take anymore. It did solve things for a while, but sometimes they'd take stuff of mine just to have a laugh with themselves whether it'll be: a Folder, my Bad, others thought it was funny but I didn't. One time I attempted to get my bag back while in a class so I lashed out at one of them, then I got told off because: 'It was not the way to behave in the classroom', but what was I suppose to do let them get away with it. The Teacher wouldn't have done much, the school I went too wasn't very well run because we had a stupid Head-Teacher who got rid of all the best Teachers who could get pupils to know discipline. But when I grew my hair long they stopped bullying me. Instead I had other pupils say: 'Get your haircut!', but I never did. But I'm glad those days are behind me, Secondary School was never my best time. College I did enjoy, I made alot of good friends and I was never bullied by anyone.

I used to get bullied a lot - had my self confidence destroyed because of it, but thankfully, all of those days are now long behind me. I still only really prefer talking to people I trust, but I'm working on everything to improve my confidence. I know how you feel. my parents actually went into my gradeschool school board and tried to tell them what was going on. I have two sisters in the same school, anyone gives them trouble, I'll knock them around the block. (I am sortof overprotective)

Well, being a High School Freshman, you could probably imagine I got my cage rattled by a few upperclassmen. Gym class was pretty much a free for all, and then these 3 lunkheads would pick on me, then talk about it like it was some big achievement. At the same time, they were holding the Homecoming dance, then a friend of these tormentors asked me if I was going, I said no, being honest about it, but then he decides to start a rumour about me going to the dance with a freshmen girl who I happened to be friends with, and then I turn my head and he kicks me in the head with a soccer ball, and then I get exempted from the regular gym class because the teacher wouldn't do his job. Around the same time, another upperclassmen was spreading rumours about how I was going out with another girl in my grade, that I had herpes, and that I liked porn. This has long since been over, but I never got a chance to post this. Ironically, I actually get along swimmingly with the other upperclassmen, coz they are actually normal unlike most of my fellow freshmen, who think downs syndrome and the Holocaust are a big joke.

I used to be bullied a lot as a child. It was mostly because of my name, as I have a foreign name and kids thought it was absolutely hysterical to make fun of that. I think that's one of the reasons why I don't like children as an adult, because it was always other kids who would pick on me and adults would come to my rescue. As an adult in a work environment, I find that my coworkers often like to joke about my name as well, but now I take it as friendly banter rather than honest bullying. Its one of those perspectives that changes with age. Were those kids making fun of my name trying to do friendly banter; were they just trying to get a rise out of me but weren't trying to scar me; or were they just jerks who liked picking on someone different? I still say it was the latter, but it's funny how being an adult has allowed me to see things in a new light.

I used to get bullied by nearly everyone at my primary school. I too have a complicated form of autism, along with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder. The fact I went into puberty at the age of 8 didn't help matters either. Long after I left my primary school, my demons continued to eat away at me until I was cynical, bitter and utter resentful. Perhaps it was that way of thinking that turned me into a non-conformist agitator. Now, I see myself as a one-man army, fighting against a conformist horde that does nothing but persecutes those who are different every day.
There may be those kinds that see themselves as diverse because they have a certain character trait. They oh so pretentiously think that this makes them non-conformist, therefore my ally. However, after I've been stabbed in the back so many times (yet surviving because I'm also a professional badass), I have become very clairvoyant. I can now easily see through a conformists' mask. These so-called 'diverse' people are so blinded by their own selfish attitudes that they do not see the harm they are really doing. They call themselves diverse. But does that necessarily mean that they accept others' diversity?
For example, I've only just parted ways with a group of people in the year above me (because they've finished Year 12 and now they're doing HSC). They were the high society sort of people. Majority of them were women, and I was friends with them for a long while before now. However, I don't know what happened, but I was separated from them for a year. I return to them, and I find completely different people. They were the pretentious type. They claimed to not conform, but I think that's a load of bullshit.
I see conformity as an institution that must be abolished. Once they are crushed and swept aside, only then can the world be truly enlightened. I've seen many bad things in my years in this urban wasteland, where those who claim guys like me are savages are the true savages themselves. What sucks is that I've never been able to get across how I felt. I guess I just couldn't trust anyone anymore.
I can see the same principles that I use in life applied to politics as well. On the left side, we have communism. In the case of Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro, this leads to totalitarianism, which calls for persecution. On the right, there is fascism. In the case of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco and EVEN the United States, this also leads to totalitarianism, which also leads to persecution.
Both are equally as destructive as each other, and have both nearly led the world to ruin several times over. What I propose is a system that relies on neither ideology, and that instead uses individuality in combination with strictly equal rights to create a central government. Therefore, neither ideology, being made illegal, would be able to interfere in the wellbeing of the people. This will create Utopia. Should this concept fail, then we must always defect to anarchy. Better all of us dead than only a small number being persecuted.
I visit these concepts in a series of novels I'm writing at the moment. Hopefully, it might become popular enough worldwide for my ideology to expand. I call this movement 'The Black Mountain Of Resistance' and the enemies, left and right, are known as 'The Red and Blue Tides of Destruction'.

Never really got targeted but I remember this one kid. His name was Travis and he tried to get students drunk by putting vodka in metal water bottles. He tried doing it to me once but my friend Dallas punched him when he tried to force me to drink vodka out of the bottle. I remember his downfall:
One day, we had a substitute teacher that was a bit dumb. She eventually asks if anyone has any water, apparently too lazy to go fill up her own water bottle. Travis gives her his vodka bottle and she ends up drinking the entire thing. Eventually she starts mumbling in a weird way and I go up to ask if she's OK and she pulls a knife on me(we were in Cooking class). Uh, this was really f**king scary because I never had a knife pulled on me before and the teacher was very drunk. In a panic, I run out of the room screaming and she chases me with the knife. I eventually run into the principal, who sees the drunk teacher and he calls the cops. I tell him Travis got her drunk and Travis got into a ton of legal trouble and got expelled. The teacher was banned from our school and thankfully nothing like that has happened again.
Anyways, thats my story.

Surprisingly for someone like me, i really only got bullied one time during middle school. Long story short I was on a different channel back in the day, and my close friends brother found it and then proceeded to make a video attempting to cyberbully me, however my Brother actually knew the guy and then immediately told the principal at his school, i'd only find out any of this happened about a week after because my friend then told me that their brother got expelled.
Kinda a crazy story that just flew over my head at the time until it was revealed.
