Bullying this is a topic which has a long history it is a topic that rings so true.
When i was in high school i would wander the school playgrounds every lunch and recess on my own. I wasn't really attached to a group which gave me an advantage because being on the out side i could have an over all look at how other people treated each other. it was disgusting

how on earth could people be so cruel.(by the way this was an all girls high school) the level of *****yness. girls would up stage one another in gossip like it was some sort of sport. Gossip if not already, should be a sin. banned and out casted.

The cruelty became to a point that i couldn't stand it any longer and i had to change high schools.

I admit during my high school years i've had my fair share of being bullied it was like from the moment i had entered the highschool i had become a target.

I never did understand why i had become a target? after all i never gossiped about anyone and i always shared my lunch with others. I always made sure to treat everyone nicely even when i knew they never really liked me and was just being nice to get what they want.
but for some reason i was able to absorb every ones emotional garbarge and i haven't got rid of it since

Thanks for allowing me to get this off my chest it's been like a heavy weight
that has pulled me down and held me back from ever trusting another person.

I will not allow it, if I found out one of my kids were a bully, they would be not able to sit for a while.

Sadly you cannot stop your children (or anyone else) form being a bully by being a bully yourself.

Spanking your children is not being a bully.

my 2nd grader came home in tears because her friends were being mean to her. It really broke my heart, but we decided together that we would say a special prayer for these girls. It worked, the next day everything was fine, and now my daughter believes in the power of prayer like never before!

I was bullied all through grade school because of my weight. Things changed in high school because I became out going and because of the people I hung around. You messed with me you messed with my friends and they were bad boys.

When I was in the 10th grade a bunch of seniors didn't like my friends so they would bully us. Eventually I had to fight one of them and somehow I messed him up pretty bad in the face which really only made things worse. Had to drop out of school and everything. It sucked.

Amen!

I was bullied for a bit in Junior High. It was one time when 4 guys were trying to beat me up is when I just...didn't care anymore and fought back.

There were a few other instances when someone tried something, but I stood my ground and if it actually came to be physical I fought like my life depended on it, and that reputation alone prevented many people from starting something

Hey

I've been bullied by my family, friends, teachers and the like.
I think it is horrible that if a person doesn't conform to a list of rules then they are mistreated and ridiculed for it.
Y did I get bullied? Coz i have overcrowded teeth, a squint, horrinle hair, spots.
I used to think that no one cared and I was meant to be bullied my whole life. But then I found God, who loves me unconditionally, despite what I look like.
THANK YOU GOD
To anyone else out there who is a victim of bullying, talk 2 sum 1 and pray 2 God coz he will help u.
If u eva need 2 talk PM me. Im alwasy around

I was bullied during my childhood and most of my teenaged years. I don't think of it much now, except when someone bullies me here on the CF board. It upsets me when it happens here, and I get really angry when I see someone else being bullied who I know to be a good person who has done nothing to deserve it.
I think verbal abuse is the worst of all, and that the person who first said, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." was a terrible liar.

Dewy, I can't rep you for this until I spread some more around, but I like what you said here a lot. It's so honest.
Because I haven't seen a post of yours that's anything but nice or funny, I went and read all your posts, and, yep, you seem to try pretty hard to make people feel good, and yet, you posted this. I think that's a pretty amazing thing to do, and my hat's off to you.

IMO, Lots of us have a bit of a mean streak, although everyone wants to think they're a good person, and I would like to be as good to people when I post as you are, dewy.
It looks like you have your mean attitude under pretty good control, and I admire that. At times I jump to warp, almost without realising it, and post something I regret. Sometimes I go back to edit or delete that post as soon as ten minutes afterward, only to find it's already too late, and I will have to try to make it right by PM, if I can.

I think that I'm more likely to do this because I was bullied as a child, by both other children and by authority figures such as teachers and housemothers.
If this is true, then no one here deserves to have what people did to me years ago taken on them.
Does anyone else here think that they sometimes take posts the wrong way because they were bullied in the past, and post something they shouldn't because of it, or is it just me?

a group of kids in church and at school would bully me... they used to call me ugly, fat, weird, retard... it was terrible. i never fought back until someone accused me of something REALLY bad...*sigh*...

 

[~WildRoseCowgirl~]

Iv'e never been bullied, other than by my siblings, but I don't think that really counts!

 

[Snowy]

yes both physical and verbal...and mostly by guys..When I first met Josh I was scared to even have him touch me...was afraid he would hit me like guys have before..but I have slowly gotten over being afraid of him..and now trust him 100%

 

[God.is.my.force]

Not me personally to much but my friends have been quiet a bit. He was a korean kid at my school and would call my friend fat. Though he was a bought 3 years older than me fihgting back actually helped (even if it was a physical fight). I think its alot difrent with guys than girls.

 

[keliezimmer]

I was verbally bullied, unless you count people throwing pennies and wads of paper at you as physical?? It has manifested in my adult life by leaving me with a crippling case of Social Anxiety Disorder
