Did you attack your bully at school?

Not gonna lie, watching that video and seeing the kid hit the concrete was satisfying as hell.

[AlexGTAGamer]

After watching that video I applaud that fat kid, I've known many people in my school who have been victims of bullying, some had to leave school because of it, some got there revenge (like my brother who broke his bully's arm and never saw him again) and people who tried to stand up against bullies but failed nastily (liked my friend who got stabbed in the face after standing up to his bully).

I say that you are only directing that to one person, and that would be me. Right?

If you don't find yourself wanting to punch your secondary/high school friends in the face on a daily basis, you don't have very fun friends.

 

I remember in highschool my group of friends including myself were absolute dicks to each other all the time, it was hilarious though.

 

On topic, i never really got bullied but if anyone bagged me out usually a punch in the ribs worked.

I think the term bullying is thrown about way too much these days. What with everyone trying to clamp down on bullying, they tend to mean the really bad stuff; people getting physically abused every day, spat on, constantly ignored etc. for prolonged periods of time. But thanks to the noticeable campaigns against it, people have started to think that they're being bullied at every turn. Somebody insulting you isn't bullying, someone making fun of you for a week because of your stupid hair isn't bullying.

 

I saw some statistic a while back that said 60% of kids in British schools were being bullied. F*ck off, more like 50% of kids can't take a joke.

 

I used to have a similar group of friends in junior high school. We used to pick on each other all the time.

 

In retrospect, I can see how my sense of humor might have made me the target (I was slightly annoying back then).

 

Anyway, of all the jokes said, I was usually the target. I was the one who was ganged up on constantly. It sometimes got to the point where I couldn't really come up with a retort, and stopped laughing. I didn't wanna seem like I couldn't take a joke, so I let it go. But I still saw it as unfair.

 

It was a delicate dance; I had to get on their good side, and I also had to have a facade (a false one) of being tough enough to be able to hold my own. In retrospect, it was a really awful relationship; yet, it had some good moments.

 

I say this only to tell you that the constant joking around can be taken negatively. When you reach a more mature age, though, I can see it as being different. Maturity is established, so once it gets old a stop switch can be pulled (instead of going on and on). But in much younger kids, it can cause harm.

Anyway, as for the topic; I had a 'bully' in the sense that he was a friend that would sometimes make fun of me (he was the 'dominant' one, while I was the 'sidekick'). He would sometimes make fun of me, and I would take it in stride.

 

One day, while I was at his house, it ended up with me messing with him. I forgot how it happened, but I somehow pinned him to the floor and had him in a choke hold. I was only messing with him, but he apparently took it seriously.

 

The next day, he seemed serious and silent. I felt somewhat bad, so I decided to act like a fool once more to save the relationship. But at least I earned more respect and confidence. Suffice to say I wasn't called a 'bitch' anymore.

 

I was surprised, too. I would have thought that someone who puts on such a tough front and went on about me being a 'white boy' would have put up a tougher fight.

 

@TheBlackProject: Jesus Christ, bro. Get some help in taking them out, or in dealing with this situation.

 

I suggest both.

For someone who was a fat kid during my school era I was subject to a lot of verbal abuse. I tried to take it as a joke, when it kinda did offend me deep down, helped me motivate myself to change my diet/excercise though, so I'm kinda glad in a way.

Sorry about that, different mindset. As for your bullying, you just need to let them know you're not afraid to fight them. If they do provoke you, then just keep at it. If you keep losing look up some fighting techniques on the web or learn from friends and family. Start working out if you already aren't.

 

If they persist to the point of you getting in trouble, explain your situation to the school and if they don't understand then ask to change schools. There's really no point in making it your life to get revenge on the people, but don't let them throw you down for sh*ts and giggles.

A group of rich Mexican kids once started bullying me in my current year of 10th grade in high school, so I confronted one of them and he started attacking me in school, but since all the sh*t happens to me, no witnesses were around. Motherf*cker put me in a headlock, stabbed me with nails, and punched me in the back of the head right in the hallway. I yelled out like a Drill Instructor saying "DON'T f*ckING FOLLOW ME", and the pussy walked away. Everytime I saw him in the bathroom I quickly ran out. So that night I went on facebook and gave him a 15 paragraph message that was disturbing and I was talking bad about him and his mother, along with his friends. A guy told me that I should never go fight a Mexican because they bring 10 people for back up. So he brought about 10 people without me even knowing the next day at the park when we were going to fight, although they came to film.

 

So I lost the fight, and the entire school got a text with the film. So the next day I threatened him a message on facebook that I was going to bang his mother, it was another 15 paragraph message. Here is the strangest part, the guy told on me the next day, and he made himself look all innocent. I didn't get any punishment since there was no evidence of me threatening him in school, but since then I always wanted to get revenge on him. I got my license yesterday, so next time I see him I will shoot a whole load of roman candles at him, and a M1000 firecracker as a drive-by. Then I will peel out to make it more interesting. But if I ever see him on the road, I will cut in front of him and stop him, then throw a brick at his windshield and drive away. Just need to avoid felonies for this one.

threatened to bang his mother via facebook? shooting firecrackers from your car and peeling out "to make it interesting?" throwing bricks?

 

These things are not going to help your situation. In fact, they'll probably make it worse and make you look like a complete tool in the process. There's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself when the time calls for it, and that sounds like your best bet at this point. 'Respect' plays a big part in hispanic culture and it seems as though you're sorely missing it. Throwing bricks and writing hate messages on facebook sure as hell won't earn you any respect.

 

Next time they try to intimidate or bully you, just stand your ground and show them that you're not afraid. The last thing you want to do is let them play their "game" because then it's only going to continue.

I used to get picked on because I was one of the bigger guys in school (big as in muscular/fat). Everyone thought they would try to be tough and start fights with me. Now I'm not one to back down from a fight, so I would always accept their challenge. One time these two guys at a school dance (one was known to be a really good boxer at our school) decided to start a fight with me. They started swinging and they both popped me in the face a couple of times. I just snapped and punched the sh*t out of both of them, tearing one of the guy's eyebrow rings out and sending him to the hospital. I ended up getting suspended for a week but it was worth it in my eyes. Not many people f*cked with me after that.

 

EDIT: This is actually a story from high school Icarus loves to tell his new friends in Edmonton.

Bully's take advantage of your weakness, I usually sort the things right away...

Nope, that's not it. I was never taught to nail other kids or be a general retard.

 

They might just be punks.

huh? Did i say "respect is earned by fighting?"

 

They certainly are punks. What I mean is to not let them bully him around, because according to TBP's excerpt, it seems like he is letting it happen (i.e. he's succumbing to the situation rather than confronting it). If he simply stands his ground - which doesn't necessarily imply any kind of physical assault - then hopefully said punks would give him some credit/respect instead of taking him for an easy target.
