I was the bully and a pretty mean one. I was raised with 2 brothers and my father was a boxer back in his day so I was the person getting bullied at home ( play fighting) so I felt inferior at school and becaome a bully

There we're several occasions and I was suspended from school ALOT!! but the one story that stands out to me the most was: ( you guys are going to hate me after this one)

In High School there was this girl who dressed like Madona in the early 80's ( I graduated in 1998 so it was alittle unusual) I used to call her all sorts of names, I got other class mates to throw spit balls at her I was the captin of my cheerleading team my softmore year and she tried out for the team... I purposly ( but it looked like an accident) shook up a can of coke and squited it all over her... then at prom me and others threw veggies and ranch dressing at her and it got on her dress....

HORRIBLE I Know.... I feel pretty bad about it now, I am sure I'll be on the Maury Povich show with her going from Geek to Sleak pretty darn soon and maby she will tell me off I do deserve it... I wish I could find her so I could write her a letter and apoligise.

I don't hate you at all, in fact I respect you more because you were able to share and you feel remorse over your actions.

Or Jerry Springer and she'll beat your butt! HAHA Stoneheather!

I don't remember ever being bullied....nor was I one. I was one of those preppy kids who never got in trouble and sucked up to all my teachers. I was president of the 'Young Republican's Club' and focused on politics.
I thought I was real smart and too mature to mingle except with a select few.

My kids have both had to deal with bullies though due to the neighborhood where we live....some kids here have a gang mentality. Usually, avoiding and ignoring them is the best way to deal with it. If that doesn't work....I've instructed my kids it's worth getting suspended to whip their A$$ if need be.

I never bullied anyone except my brother and that's too be expected as the older brother right, right????

I did hit a kid once with a baseball bat because he wouldn't leave me alone. It was lunch time and I was in grade 2 or 3. It was my turn up to bat but the kid kept trying to nab the bat from me, so I let him have it. The business end of the bat that is.

I was bullied once in high school by some kid who just hated me for reasons I still can't understand. He did everything he could to try and scare me (and he suceeded) but I never let him know he did. He made the one class we shared a living hell for about 3 months and then was expelled from school for some reason.

I never had any big problems with bullies or being tormented in school but I didn't do much to provoke anyone. Even if I was sensitive about something, I never showed it to anyone and never really got bothered. The kids that got teased a lot are the ones that broke under the strain or were obviously affected by what others said. It sounds cruel but that's the way it was in my school.

We're there any injuries, with the baseball bat?

[Duke]

I only hit him once and I don't think it did much damage. I can't remember specifically where I hit him just that he went running off, crying, then I was called to the office. He didn't miss any school or anything because of it.

I failed to mention that this kid was a thorn in my side on multiple occasions, I guess I just snapped that day at home plate. :wha:

Stoneheather,
I meant to ask you this question. When you disliked this girl and wanted to bully her.....was there any psychological reason? Like...did you feel like you didn't have any power at home or you were bored at school or it made your own friends think you were cool or did you just not like this one girl that much?

Maybe in pinpointing it....it would help kids who may read this later to understand why someone may be teasing them in school.

What would be YOUR suggestion to a kid as to how to respond to a bully?


You are so sweet...it's hard to see you as a MEANIE!

[Duke]

I think she just learned from her mistakes as we all do (hopefully). Who your are in adulthood isn't always who you were as a child.

I never got bullied to be honest.. I was pretty loved by all the kids

Ofcourse there have some events that took place.. for example in secondary school. This guy kept f*cking with me in the school breaks. On a sudden moment I got so pissed that I punched him in the face twice. After that he never did anything again.

It takes a lot to get me pissed.. but if I get pissed I can get pretty angry.

I also have been a bitch sometimes to some of my friends in the past.. I still regret that.

Ya but you're always sweet as pie to me

[Merika]

You TWO are ODD....very very ODD! LOL!
