I just get mad. Schools aren't doing enough to help students that are being bullied.


again, they're not designed to; the system is designed so that the bully is doing technically what he/she's supposed to be doing: harassing the different students for being different.

I don't buy that excuse. Kids still have a conscience, so I don't understand how they can torture people the way some of them do, unless they're sociopaths.

I can't even read the other threads or watch any of the videos posted on this subject. It infuriates me too much. I mean it makes me want to find the idiots that bully other kids, and thrash the hell out of them. It's scares the hell out of me how much and how fast rage begins to boil up inside me whenever I hear or read those stories. It probably doesn't help that I was bullied in school.

Anyone else bothered in the same way?

Anyone able to deal with it better than I? How do you do it?


You remind me of me. When I hear about bullying the memories of being bullied come back to me. I see the torment, I see the insanity, I see the depression, I see the feeling of powerless. I see it all happening not just to me, but to someone else. Makes me feel like turning the hunter into the hunted. Makes me feel like stomping faces and snapping ribs.
