In my time I have been teased for a few things e.g the fact that I 'used' to like wrestling ( I just tell my friends that but I'm still a major mark ) but I've never been properly 'bullied'. Anyone on here ever been bullied?

My High School friends would make fun of me for liking wrestling and wanting to be a pro wrestler, my friends in college tend think that's awesome and support my decision. I also almost got expelled from my High School because I walked to this bully who's been picking on me and punch him in the face in front of the Vice Principal.

Eh, not really. I mean, there were a lot of dicks in my middle school that would tease me here or there but it was never consistent. Then sometimes the same kids would be friendly to me, it was very odd. I think once they realized that I was just some random quiet kid and not fun to pick on they kind of just felt awkward and decided to be nice instead. I was a really sensitive kid though and really shy and awkward if I was talking to anybody who I wasn't already close friends with, so it was bound to happen sometimes.
my advice to kids getting bullied in school is unless it's completely unbearable and non stop or violent, just shrug it off. Don't get all bent out of shape because somebody calls you a homosexual one time in the lunch room, it isn't worth it and probably will just draw more unnecessary attention to you. It just seems like a bigger deal to you now because this is the little bubble of society you live in. It's all meaningless when you graduate.

In middle school from a couple guys but it never got too bad. We went back and forth a lot but they never did much about it. In high school one guy tried me and I kicked the crap out of him and made him cry in front of the entire class. The worst must have been some wannabe gangster nut who for some reason came after me. Thankfully I had a cousin his age who quelled that before anything went too far, but I was scared for a while being threatened. Nowadays I would put that clown in the hospital if he said what he did to me before :lol: Eh, not really.

This guy was so annoying, such a goof, so corny, that you couldn't help but have a laugh whether with malice or not.

I got made fun of by my friends but they were all real good friends. Once in a while i ran across a dick head that would say something. I had these black jeans and they were a tad faded and i walked down the hall and these kids made fun of me saying how tight they were and whatever else. It was the style everyone wore and they started copying it too. Then one time i had some jerk off put some kind of icing in my hair and my teacher helped me get it out. Some kids were making fun of me in the class but she helped me out.

Obviously I don't mean cases where they are physically being attacked or harassed daily by the same people, I just mean cases where one or two kids say something to them that sticks and makes them super insecure and uncomfortable at school. |

I'm in my 30s but even back then it made no sense. If someone calls you a name, call him a bigger one and move on :shrug: If they pick a fight with you, kick 'em in the f'n balls. It's not nice, but it will teach them a lesson. Some people need life to kick them in the balls so they realize how to act  |

I've kind of been a bully all my life. Growing up I was bigger than most kids, plus I loved wrestling, so I would toss people around. It was a thing for me in grade school to wait for kids by the garbage cans so that I could grab them and toss them in the trash. I did it to test my strength, and the trash was to cushion their falls.
I know I still have a vibe about me. One day I got to a place and I got in one guys face about unloading me quick, I was trying to be friendly but he looked at me and said..... "im not affraid of you".

I was bullied for years. I was bullied from third grade to eighth grade almost every day, mostly because people thought I was gay because I liked wrestling, so it became known to everyone that I was "gay," even though most people knew that I actually am not gay. I literally had no friends for years. I was able to cope with being called gay because I know I'm not gay. I wasn't able to cope with having no friends, and I got depressed for a while. I'm in high school now and I haven't been bullied since eighth grade, because I went to a different high school than all of the kids who bullied me.

I've never been bullied. I feel lucky to be honest.
I hate gotten into a fight though which was pretty recent.

All through Junior High School and HS. I wish BJJ had been as popular in the 90s as it is today.

Earlier in this thread I mentioned an old friend who had been bullied; one of the things of course was that some people called him gay. I heard a lot of the jabs he took, but that certainly wasn't one of the popular things said nor frequent. For YEARS that bothered him, and he wasn't gay (and if he were, so what). It just bothered him so much that people would say that, which is odd. An odd contrast, we had gay kids in our school who were picked on (not exactly bullied with malice) and cared LESS about it than this poor guy who was being called something he was not.  |

I had instances where other kids attempted to bully me as a kid. I was never afraid of getting beat up though and my main concern was to just not look like a punk and to always stand up for myself. My dad wasn't around long but for my early years, I remember him always telling me that if he ever heard or saw me not stand up for myself, he'd whip my ass himself and he was serious. I've been on the winning and losing side of fights plenty of time and I can tell you this. Bullies don't actually want to fight. They just want to punk you out. Once they realize you're not a chump and will actually throw a punch, they move on to the next kid. I honestly think bullying is over exaggerated, most of us all deal with it at some point in our life but if you can't take it in school by a kid calling you names and pushing you around, just wait until you're grown. My suggestion is to ignore a bully if you can and see if they move on. If not, throw the first punch and make sure it lands hard.

Yes, I was - in primary and secondary school (moreso).
Being someone who naturally prefers to be on his own, has long hair, listens to heavy metal, likes wrestling and niche interests like Japanese horror films and British comedy was a prime target for bullies.
These bullies were usually of Lebanese extraction, and would routinely create a 'game' called 'In The House'. My high school had a very large Lebanese population.
The group, in my year, of about eight individuals, would go up to the different groups of kids eating lunch and asked if they wanted to be 'In The House' - if that person said yes, the eight individuals would instantly beat the utter sh**e out of the kid.
They attacked in bursts, and never long enough to cause grievous bodily harm. After the person attacked got their wits about them, the leader of the eight would ask him who should go 'In The House' next.
I used to read magazines, books and novels at lunch whilst listening to music, alone. (Twenty years later, I'm still doing the same thing, though my iPhone has replaced the printed matter.)
At least three days out of the week I would get invited 'In The House'.
One day, I snapped, saw them coming and packed up my stuff and went to find a teacher on duty. I'd had more than enough, sick of it happening and no one said anything, protecting the eight guys, who now had 'their cousins' join - lunchtime saw a bloated nWo-type gang of about twenty Lebanese sociopaths, doing their rounds.
For whatever reason, on this day I couldn't find a teacher. The 'In The House' gang caught up with me and surrounded me instantly.
They laughed and joked, swarming around me, asking me why I didn't want to be 'In The House' anymore.
I responded as bravely as I could, saying I was sick of getting 'flash' beatdowns every day.
I can't really remember the rest, but someone fiddled with my backpack, and I swung around to see who was doing it - and then bang - I went down. Someone timed it so I got punched right in the face as I turned around - sucker punched me.
I got stomped, spat on, soccer kicked, my hair pulled (?) and a bunch of other things, leading to a litany of injuries.
I was hospitalised; bruised kidneys, black eye, broken nose, hairline fracture in my orbital bone, split lip, and a concussion.
Needless to say, I was taken away from that school once I recovered and once I finished Year 12 in the new one, rejoiced at seeing the school that let it happen get shut down.
