I have been bullied quite intensively for 15 years on QBN - still have zero anxiety about it.

Googled the name of the kid who teased me freshman year and found this:

Turns out he's a serial thief, can't find his jail mug which I saw a year ago.

haha, i Googled the name of the kid I bullied and was horrified to see that someone with the same name had recently been sent to prison for paedophilia.
‘Thankfully’ this guy was some eighty year old, not the kid from my class :)

Googled one of our high school bullies. He's the fat fuck I figured he was, and he's wearing a cheap ass suit at what is probably a friend's wedding. So sad.
- sad, because he was the coolest jock for like... 3 yearsmonospaced
- O_O i guess he really roughed you up when you a kid...pango
- no, he was just an asshole in high school, stole a calculator from me, mostly verbal bullshitmonospaced
- he looks like a douchebagpinkfloyd
- oh... your wording sound like you are holding intensive grudge towards him...pango
- he was just the first one to come to mind, i don't even think about these guysmonospaced
- oh forgot that you wordings are just normally more intensive then most people...pango
- maybe... just maybe... that's why you get into fights on qbn more often than most... lolpango
- annnnnd i might have said too much.....pango
- I only get in fights here when people attack me for no reason.monospaced
- i think it's the wording man :]
people interpret it as if you are hostile if they don't know you... just saying.pango - show me an examplemonospaced
- not that i know you that well. but enough to know you don't mean to aggravate.pango
- hmmm.... i'll keep that in mind and bring it back here when i see it next time.pango
- People are often offended by rationality and being wrong. I can't blame them for being so stupid.monospaced
- i think you meant "you can't blame me for them being stupid"
cuz... yes you can blame them for being stupid...pango - :\ how about this thread, 20th post. about autistic....pango
- can't blame someone for something they can't controlmonospaced
- uhhh... how was my post about autism inflammatory, or strongly worded?monospaced
- I was only joking about how I'm bullied on QBN about being autistic. I'm playing along.monospaced
- ya not the best example...but it's an example of you trying to be funny but could easily be interpreted it wrongly.pango
- oh you were?

so here comes another question.
would you have become a better person if you didn't get bullied?- For me, I think yespinkfloyd
- hell nomonospaced
- I think I'm stronger and have more empathy because of it.Akagiyama

I was bullied by a group of boys in my class up until 8th grade... they'd do just about everything to humiliate me (both physical and mental).
One morning after 'Gym' class I was sitting on a bench in the boys locker room hunched over untying my shoe. One of the main bullies stepped up on the bench, ran across the bench and jumped off right where I was hunched over and drove his knee into the back of me intending to knock me off the bench. I snapped— jumped up and somehow managed to get him in a headlock. I went from locker to locker introducing his head to each one. I was so fucking nuts with anger that the other bullies where grabbing me, kicking and punching me yet I somehow managed to hold their friend in that headlock until HE bit me. I still have the scar from his bottom tooth on my right hand. :) None of them ever touched me again. The one guy's head was beat up / bloody pretty good... but nobody reported how it happened... none of those boys ever touched me or fucked w/me again.
I wish I heard more stories like mine... you rarely get a 'hollywood' ending to a/bully story like I did. To add to that ending— 4 years later (Senior year of High School here in America) I ended up forming a band with the some of those former bullies... including the one I beat up to :)

In younger grades, bullies were tough. Although I was not the victim of bullying, I must admit that if I saw it happening I was too big of a pussy to say anything to the bully.
However, I smartened up by high school and knew that bullies were insecure and would never do anything, if confronted. We had a few big, dumb bullies. (The big+smart kids didn't bully, just the dumber ones). They'd pick on the nerdy kids, and when I'd see it happening, I'd make sure to cause a big scene and embarrass the bully. It's pretty easy to pinpoint the insecurities of a bully and then point them out to everyone around. I had a knack for embarrassing the shit out of these goons. I also had the benefit of being popular enough that it was easy to stick up for the victims of bullying.
Years later I realized that I probably hurt the bullies' feelings, and you could say that I was bullying the bullies. But, they were being dicks and needed to be put in their place.

as a youth i wasn't bullied. but as an adult, actually the last place i worked at part time as an in-house designer, i was bullied by the developer. he would say things to intimidate me (and certainly spoke about my sexuality behind my back-- i found out last year)

My high school had a tradition of "Frosh Week" like in Dazed and Confused, but it was the first week of school each year. The school staff and local police tried to stop it, but it would always take more than a week for the freshmen to realize they didn't have to put up with it. Each year a rumour would get spread that if you told a teacher you would also be suspended or expelled for participating. You'd think any kid would be smart enough to know better than to believe the rumour, but nobody would ever tell on anyone.
The froshing was usually no big deal (ass paddlings, a little slapping around) but sometimes got so far out of hand. The senior bullies were always taking it too far. One day I saw a guy completely naked, taped to a flag pole about 30 feet in the air with no way down. He had tape on his mouth so he was up there for a while. Sometimes kids would get thrown in a car, blindfolded and driven out into the country side and just left out there with no phone or anything. Once some bullies tied a freshman to their car and drove around, expecting him to run behind it. He couldn't keep up, fell, got all fucked up and broke some bones. Still, he was too scared to tell the police who did it.
Anyway, it was pretty common to see kids walking through the hall that had just been froshed. They were so sad, sometimes crying. Totally fucking defeated, on the first week of high school. So, I really made a point of talking to those kids after. Like, "Hey, kid, don't let them get to you. It's over, and if you take it like a man, you'll be fine." Then we'd tell them about a party or get some girls to hang out with them or something to try to make them feel cool.
I learned then that simply being nice to someone at just the right time can be a pretty powerful thing.
Whoa, writing this story out made me realize I was basically the one dude from Dazed and Confused. Hahahahahaha

Some tried to bullied me but I was the kind of person to accumulate and one day, out of no where, i reacted.
I violently cross-checked a dude in the rib-cage with my hockey stick once, he was making fun of me since a few games. I could have break some of his bone. He was in pain for a couple days. He never made fun of me afterward.
Another dude made fun of me at the park during a few game of baseball; suddenly i reacted with so much violence in my words and my eyes, he stopped making fun of me afterward. I just told him "The next time you say something, I will crush you" i didnt scream or anything, but it was so intense, he frozed in fear knowing I would totally do it.

Much more awareness around bullying nowadays. Wasn't bullied myself and my kids haven't been exposed to it. Just hoping it stays that way.

All the bullies I had trouble with came from broken homes or their parents were known to be crazy white-trash or alcoholics.
Happy kids are nice kids. Unhappy kids find a way to make themselves feel better.

I was bullied a lot for different reasons.
Sometimes i had fights with 5 kids at the same time.But, as soon as I found out I could kick most of kids asses...one by one in single fight things started to change.
Later, in high school I was bullied for having glasses or long hair or coming from a small village into the city or even for having good grades. One day I exploded and kicked two bigger guys.
The worse was to come when around 10 bigger guys waited for me in the school patio, they kicked me hard and tied me up with duct tape against a basketball basket pillar and painted my lenses with Edding markers.After that because I gave a good fight against them I turned into a bully myself for a certain period, like 1 year...
It didn't last long because it was not my thing, I felt bad and I got along with everybody which was way cooler.
And I had more interest in girls and other things than being an asshole.
