and from that interaction and the your observation at school (which is only about 25% of that persons day), you can determine what type of person they are, whay issues they have, and whether they can/should change?
Man, you should go into psychology. They really need someone like you.

From what I've heard most of the people in the psychological profession are already like that  |

I know that was intended as sarcasm, but:
Actually, they do.
Do you think I actually believe the cr-p I spouted off for almost this entire topic?
I don't. It's just part of an experiment to see how people will react to a defense of something that, by the standards of their society, is absolutely wrong, and to see how many defenses I could come up with before every creative argument expired. The results came out just as expected, with a few exceptions.
However, it should be noted that this experiment did not meet the APA's ethical standards.
Nevertheless, I find these sorts of things far more effective when the people inolved don't know that they are being used as guinea pigs. |

I've done similar things, but not to this scale... That is if you are to be believed, you did cry wolf. Though..What were the exceptions?
Who is APA? American Psychological Association?
I know there are several people who enjoy defending an argument whether they believe it or not, so I've often thought of doing a Debate... Cos that'd be fun...
But still... Bullying is wrong, no matter the provocation. :: nods :: |

I knew nobody could be quite so dumb, I should have seen that one coming!

| Now one deserves to be bullied. They act like that for a pschological reason. I like to flaunt my body around but that is because of pstd and my damn harmones so something. I am loved only 1 for a day everyother day by my mom and that makes me do that too. As soon as I get calm I could hug stranger and wink at them. That is probably attachment disorder. |

| I think nobody deserves to be bullied. Bullying is so disgusting, even the worst person in the world doesn't desrve it (according to me). There are other ways to correct and educate a person. |

People shouldn't be so quick to judge others. I once met this guy who was extremely homophobic, and thought that all gay people were disgusting and morally corrupt. (This guy was in the same all-male contemporary dance group I was in) I didn't know why he felt that way and so I asked him about his views one day on the way home. He didn't give any real reason, it was just hatred born out of ignorance.
However, this person was also willing to become friends with me. I didn't share his views and he knew that. I also loathed his views, but I didn't hold them against him. But he was the only person in the entire group who was willing to talk to me during the 3 years I was part of that group; the others snubbed me, thought I was an idiot and though they never 'bullied' me, they did exclude me from everything and made sure that I felt thoroughly rejected. |

You know, this question was actually a very provocotive one. I was going to answer no, but then, I thought for a bit.
There is one group of people that deserves to be bullied. Who is that, exactly?
The bullies themselves.

^Actually, if bullies were bullied, who would do the bullying? Technically impossible for bullies to be bullied, as they are the bullies themselves.

Many bullies were bullied themselves. That's why they do it. Bullies bully because they are insecure, or have low self-esteem. They are also usually in the 'middle' section of the class ladder: Those that need to prove they are cool. (Above them are the naturally cool, who do not need to prove themselves. Below are the one who are picked on: the ones who don't try to be cool, or the ones who can't.) (The last part of that paragraph was taken from a Paul Grahm essay)
Yupa, If you last post was serious, you should be thankful. I was about to make a very, very angry post about you...
This thread has the worst case of double postitus syndrome I have ever seen... |

I want to say this. But I am worried people will take the p**s.
Here goes.
I have spent th majority of my life being bullied by someone. If it was not my Mum it was someone at school or college.
Bullying is never ever right. A friend just told me something: two wrongs never make a right. I know it can be hard but I have found the best thing to do is to ignore, run away and hide.
I know it is hard but they do not deserve that treatment - no one does, believe me no one does.
