Default Bullying

Have you experienced bullying? Should high schools do more to help those being bullied? What should that be exactly? Do you think it gets easier once you finish school? Is it up to teachers or friends to help?

Do you think that people are getting bullied far more now with the internet?

If you've any direct experiences I'd be interested in hearing about it. Only if you feel comfortable.

I have indeed experienced this.

Not as badly as some. But still bullied none the less.

The only twist with my bully, (the one I had my entire childhood and teenage years)
My bully and I met each other again, as grown women, we had been through it all as kids and teenagers, fist fights, excessive shouting when we would see one another all that ****. She'd call me ******, I'd call her a *** guzzling street walker, sunrise sunset.
Anyway we met again at the age of 25 we both were working at the same place. Over the course of about a month the girl managed to work the courage and talk to me. And the first day she did say something it was not at all what I thought it was gonna be.
What she said is classified, but just know over that entire summer we worked together, we became inseparable, she even became my roommate for a bit when her boyfriend kicked her out.

As far as the internet is concerned, the internet has been kind to me all my life. I am not too sure why, not complaining by any means at all, just can't figure that one out. It's easier to bully someone through the anonymity of a computer knowing, you will mostly never run into that person, and have to put your money where your mouth is.

Schools don't give a shit. I once saw a lad in my class get filled in for no reason (he was a bit nerdy & small & used to get shit a fair bit), was sprawled over the desk at the end pissing with blood, this happened in front of the teacher and they didn't step in or anything. The lad didn't even get a detention lol.

There was an older lad who would constantly kick off at me when I was 13, it went on for three years. Shit scared walking to school & coming back cos I knew what would happen if I bumped into him. I never told anyone for fear of being lol'd at and there was fuck all I could do cos he was a genuine nut case and was usually with a group so I just took it lol. Cunt.

School's are "zero tolerance" now, meaning you can get suspended for getting your ass kicked. I'm not sure how helpful that is to victims.

I was bullied in jr. high, but by high school I was the weird kid that entertained people with my dorky jokes.

I used to get a fair amount of **** at school and I don't think it affected me badly, it seems to have affected the bullies more. I was at a party last year and boy that used to be pretty nasty to me came up and said 'do you remember that time I threw you in a puddle before school? I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking about that' and apologised. I don't remember it. It seems like his scars have lasted longer than mine.

At a young age, severe bullying can be a sign that the bully themselves are victims of a broken home life. Of course, little bunches of privileged jerks tend to aggregate and pick on people for being different, too, so it's not always so black and white.

That wouldn't happen. The bully would have been suspended and so would the nerd if he tried to defend himself. Apparently the moral thing to do when you're getting your teeth knocked out is to smile so the other guy can aim better.

That's what pisses me off about how schools deal with bullying. It's not about protecting anyone, it's about protecting the school from liability just in case anyone decides to sue them because they didn't do enough to stop something. You can't sue them if they won't even let the victim do anything about it I guess.

Enlightened my ass, it's just bureaucratic responsibility shirking.

I can 1,000% confirm that it did happen mate, got no reason to lie.

The only time there was any kind of violence in school I know of where someone got punished for it was one of my mates who got permanently excluded, but he beat up one of the teachers, not a pupil.

Oops. I meant to write "That wouldn't happen in America."

That happened when I was in junior high. A guy that had ditched basically the entire semester and been kicked out of said class many times, basically showed up one day and grabbed a fire extinguisher and emptied the contents all over a science teacher. The teacher wasn't having it and grabbed it away and swung it at the kid. The kid avoided it and punched the teacher in the face. He was expelled from our entire school district and was forced to do home studies for the rest of his schooling.
