Bullying, something that makes me madder than anything in this universe (with the exception of Richard Simmons...maybe). Just watching someone being pushed around by someone they can't stop whilst everyone around watches, or cheers, just infuriates me. I have been bullied practically throughout my entire school career (except in college). From 1-5th grade, it was the same group of @$$holes (a couple of guys and some girls; it slacked when I knocked the wind of of one of the girls). I was shoved into walls, tripped, and has paper wads thrown at me on a daily basis. One person even went as far as to chase me around the cafeteria during pre-class waiting periods (bus riders had to wait in the cafeteria until school officially began). Another went as far as to KICK me in classes, right in front of teachers. Another even CHOKED me in class. But was anything done? Nope. I suppose I should have fought back, but I was far too weak; and normally I was attacked in groups of two. The bullying took a 1 year break for sixth grade (considering me moving to another state), but it was back in seventh (I was in a low-income situation, had serious depression due to family problems (so bathing and school work kinda went bye-bye), and then I had no fashion sense (I couldn't care less, apparently some people did)) and thus I was tormented by new group of sixth graders. But, salvation would come with moving again in 8th grade (my family problems exploded from divorce to me and my siblings being split up, with the two eldest going with my dad and two youngest to mom...yipee -_-). Would salvation come with moving to a new school? I wished. I was in a fight within a week. That school year was horrible. It was a jock-cratic (the athletic people got away with EVERYTHING), the student-body was racially biased against white kids, nerds, LD (learning disabled, although I don't think they knew about my autism, I know I didn't), and the poor. I'm fairly certain that 80% of the student body did drugs (which would explain the near weekly visit from the police to take someone else away). Here's a quick rundown of what I went through:
Betrayal by people who I thought were my friends
Projectile Warfare:
------------------
Paper wads
Spit (Should fall under chemical warfare actually...)
Spitwads
Shoes
Pencils
Basket/Foot/Soccer/Volley-balls (especially when I was sick in gym one day, the person almost broke my nose)
Books
and a desk...I think
-----------------
Attempted theft
Assault (on multiple occasions)
Being chased down a hallway
Kicked out of class (ME being bullied was causing a distraction...)
Verbal abuse/torture
AND THIS WAS ALL IN ONE SCHOOL YEAR.
I don't think that's everything. But that'll do for now.
And if that wasn't enough, I had to put up with crap from my little brother at home, and crap from my dad as well. It was so much that I ended up feeling suicidal, and I am fairly certain that hte school administration had me marked as a potential school shooter (they knew about the bullying and the only initiative they took was to think I'm going to shoot up the place?). A psychological profile 4 months after the school year ending (I passed with a 1.2 GPA (Down from being a freaking honor student just 3 years earlier). HAH!) said that I had "suicidal thoughts, morbid ideas, violents tendencies, but one hell of a sense of humor" (NOT an exact quote, more of a paraphrase).
Nowadays (from highschool to now), except from a few certain people, I'm not bullied anymore. |

| Sigh.... I was bullied ever since 3rd grade and somehow was able to stop a bully by gathering up the courage and calling him up on the phone. It wasn't easy at all, but I somehow did it. I was bullied in middle school with people just saying, "So-and-so likes you!" and laughing behind my back; I told them to leave me alone, but it didn't work for everyone. I also think people stare at me all the time too; I'm heading to high school, so if I get into a school for people with Asperger's after I get diagnosed, maybe I won't be made fun of anymore. As advice, tell your parents and friends, if you have any, and try to tell them to leave you alone, it might work. |

| I am glad my Middle School is against bullying. They have a policy that you would get in serious trouble for bullying. Whew! |

It doesn't really matter if you win or lose, it the courage to stand up againts the damn bullies, hopefully after that the bullies will never mess with you again.  |

Been bullied since I was 9.
6 years...you'd think I'd get the message by now.
You name it, I've been called every appropriate, cruel name.
I'm not bullied as much now, it's mostly social rejection + social anxiety now.
It's just stereotypical people who label which pisses me off.
I get the odd name calling down the corridor, but I ignore, as I've been called it before.
Hey that last line ryhmed. |

| I was bullied a lot in primary school, sometimes even by the teachers. Then it subsided a littlebut started up again and I got a lot of it when I was 13-14 and then it died down again... I'm not too bothered about it with hindsight, though. I can't change the past, I can just be happy with what I have in the present. |

| "Bullying" is an interesting term, since it's largely open to individual interperetation. What may be "bullying" to one person is only mild teasing to another, and vice versa. Some people have little obsessive-compulsive loves and hates regarding certain subjects that make them feel "bullied" when those subjects are brought up in a specific way, and so on. |

When I was in school, I was always bullied around. I was always considered a "retard". The same with my whole class. Now I am home-schooled. We are identified at school as the "Retard Force". They gave us army ranks paired with insults, such as Lieutenant Lard Ball (not my nickname). It was this poor defenseless girl, who only wanted friends. I always thought my classmates were a burden to me, but they were just like me. They wanted friends, too, and they tried so hard to get them. They were shunned, like I was. I was given at least 10 nicknames...it seemed like a new one would pop up every quarter.
Question: Has anyone else experienced this? How did you handle it? |

Whatever anyone’s subjective interpretation of bullying - I was by any standard, most certainly bullied throughout my entire life. It was both physical and emotional; everything from spitting, gang attacks, fights, very inappropriate insults by any cultural standard – you name it. There were mostly students involved, but staff sometimes deliberately ignored the situation as well, constituting gross negligence of responsibility on their part.
It has only stopped since I ceased going to school – I simply refused to go and perused my interests instead. |

| I am bullied, but it's partly my fault. I don't talk to anyone at school and if they say hi to me, I immediately assume that they're trying to make fun of me. |

I've been bullied since preschool. For years I had to put up with it but it got worse in 5th grade when I had to be put in special ed and any of you here who are in spec ed know that just being there makes you an automatic target. People beat me up daily, called me LD (local dummy in there vocabulary), mess up my stuff, do things then blame them on me, and just plain ran my life. Teachers never did anything to them. They let them get away with everything they did. Heaven forbid I did anything to stand up for myself I would get holy heck for it. Even when I mentioned the fact that when they did things then blamed it on me they never listened when I said "I didn't do it" so the only thing I could do was say nothing then tell only the principles I didn't. Luckily they understood my situation and where nice about it. It was when I got in to middle school things got worse then better. In my class I had to say in the same room all day long to make matters worse for 2 years I was the only girl in a class of boys where every single one of them hated me. It was torture they would abuse me physically and emotionally, sexually harass me, steal things, taunt me, call me horrible names I won't mention, lock me in the bathroom (we had one in our room) and closet, used intimidation, and just plain push me around. Like a few times I would be in my corner of the room alone reading and laying on one of the beanbags if one of them wanted it they would just come over pull it out from under me and walk away like it was nothing. I was known as "The reject". But here’s where it gets better. In the third year of middle a lot of the meaner boys left and more girls came in. One day thanks to my dad’s stories and advice this boy that everyone even the teacher was afraid of was picking on me all day I was getting tired of it. So I went up to the teacher and told her "if you don't do something about James I'm going to attack him" later when he was doing it again she just sat and watched. So I got up ran over to him and beat the crap out of him. Yes I got in trouble but I didn't care and nether did my family. Ever since then I'd gotten tougher against bullies. I also don't let others get bullied. I have a friend who’s being bullied like I was. I do for her what I wish other people had done for me when I was in the same situation. Now I never let a bully who crosses my path go unpunished.
That’s my story. |

Don't believe that! The bullies are idiots and you shouldn't have to talk to anyone. Though you might want to think about getting a counselor to talk about the whole afraid of being made fun of all the time thing, I am much the same way.
