Did you have a bully?

    I remember when I was 8 years old, I had a big problem, her name was Sorcha. She was older, stronger, bigger, faster. She chased me down like Duane "Dog" Chapman the Bounty Hunter but instead of mace in the face and a night in the county jail, I received twisted nipples, whips with skipping ropes, stings by nettles, dead legs, dead arms, hair pulling and the occassional trip and push combo.

    She was the big fish in our estate, she ran the joint with an iron fist that would make Joseph Stalin weep like a little girl. No one was safe. I cried many nights in my panda and monkey wallpapered bedroom, punching pillows like a convict. But time went by and we moved house and I always wondered what happened to Sorcha, if she was bossing people around in some office somewhere, throwing coffee in her assistant Stephen's face. I often think that maybe she bullied me because she fancied the smooth hairless balls off me and that 10 year old girl was sick of the old bulls and wanted a piece of the young calf... but we'll never know ;)

    So tell me, did you have a bully? Or maybe there is a bully in your life right now?

    One guy in primary school kept robbing my drink from my bag, but i didnt know who it was. One day i seen him take it with his foot so i got under the table to get it, as i got out he dropped my school bag on my head. So i stood up picked the school chair up by the legs and smashed him in the face with it. Problem solved.

    i had a bully in school, i day dreamed those days away imagining all the awful ways she could meet her end, she was such a b**ch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    I had, his name was Trevor, big chunky bastard whose preferred method of attack was the headlock.

    One sunny evening Trevor gets me in a headlock, I'm f**king sick of it at this stage so I bit his arm as hard as I could, drawing blood through his white school uniform shirt.

    The cunt didn't do it again.

    I did; one in every school! I love the fact that even though my current job isn't wonderful it's a stepping stone to the professional career I'm working towards, whereas my old bully has been working the tills in SuperValu since she turned 16.

    And she got fat.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    Yup had loads over the years when I was growing up.
    I used to get the crap bullied and beat outta me.

    That all sort of stopped once I hit 14, developed a personality, broke 6ft and discovered girls.

    Nope, and by all rights I should have in primary school - I was a nerd who cried a lot.

    Thing was I had three older brothers and I'm not exactly a wimp myself so I was left alone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,378 ✭✭✭mojesius


    Yes, she was my best friend at first but then one day when we were about 14 she decided she didn't like me, made up horrible rumours about me and formed this little gang of b1tches who'd call me every name under the sun, following me around at lunchtime making snide comments. I soon made new friends who are still my closest friends.

    10 years on or so, I saw her at a reunion and she's a right porker. She may have been a b*tch but karma's a bigger one.

    He's a thief, here. You're an animal. And probably the new bully.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    Not a bully but more of a guy that started on everyone, he got his head kicked in after starting on the wrong lad. Didn't hear much from him after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭mecanoman


    No thank God. Younger sister did. Till one day she snapped in school.
    Other girl told her she was "dead after school".
    Sister loked at me pleading, what do i do?
    I said" Hit her and don't stop!"

    God did she wallop her, Ahh fecking great stuff. Drew blood.
    Face on the bully was priceless. Sister went to town on her.
    Suspended, parents didnt mind, bully had being torrmenting her for months.

    Next week back in school, the bully left her alone. Extreme violence
    is the only thing alot of them understand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,597 ✭✭✭anniehoo


    Yep i had LOADS...i was a big geek so an easy target. One main bully actually apologised in the local pub a few years ago.I couldnt believe it. She was off her face on god knows that night but slurred "howya...immmm shoorrry for yearsss ago riiiiigh"!

    Made my night and almost made up for all the years she tormented me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭fakeaccent


    Yes I had a nasty bully for the first few years of secondary school. She was really vicious, always tormenting me and I haaaaated her!

    Years later after graduating college, I had a great new job and was doing really well and I wandered into a newsagent in the shopping centre to buy a coke and there she was behind the till looking sullen and (dare I say it?) faaaaaat! Mwahahahahaha!

    Edit: fakearms has been threatening to pull my hair....sniff


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    A girl in school took a dislike and made my life a misery in primary calling me names kicking me moving my outdoor shoes to the other side of the school and rob my coat and hide it etc

    The teacher used to keep kids in during lunchtime if they got spelling wrong etc I used to get them wrong on purpose to stay in class and "study" I hated that bítch :mad:

    All the girls that have posted delighted at the weight gain of all these bullies. It really does scare the ladies stiff, the thought of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    I had a few bullies myself, quite unpleasant at the time.
    I'm noticing a trend here- are all female bullies predestined to get porky and work behind a till?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    I posted this before...



    When I was in Junior Infants there was this kid named Darren who was always getting into trouble. Whenever something he had done was discovered by the teacher he blamed me for it, and all his friends would agree that they saw me. I got in trouble everyday, not being able to prove my innocence. Which is a horrible thing to go through as young child.
    He was eventually found out when he blamed something on me on a day I was out sick.

    Now Darren is a secondary school dropout, living on the dole with no qualifications.





    I'd like to dedicate this post to Darren as it will be the best thing associated with him in his pathetic life!

    :D:D:D:D

    How.. this had been going on for the whole school year. Serious emotional trauma thinking people were taking my stuff... i didnt do much damage a black eye or something. He's actually a decent enough lad now, I credit myself with turning his life around :p

    Nope, people always just say that their bullies are doing that to make themselves feel better.

    My school's resident bully is a thin, attractive med student now.

    you know i was pretty happy about it tbh. when someone is an awful bully though their school years, and im talking my teens here then i see nothing wrong with having a little inward giggle (she would probably still kill me hehe) when i pass her. im at least entitled to that :cool:

    Hmmm your bully reminds me of your wan in that film Wanted!

    Myself, yes. I had bullies from 2nd class onwards. I went to junior, senior infants and 1st class in Johnstown, KK. That was fine but went to a local school from 2nd class onwards.

    Everyone else in the class had gone to school together locally before that so I was kind of an outcast and I didn't make friends easily either. It was constant day in day out. The fact that I was quiet, shy and had a very sheltered childhood didn't help me.

    When I finally finished and went to secondary school, I thought it was all behind me. Little did I know a lot of them were there too and re-started all the sh!t that was going on in primary.

    Eventually I had enough of it and did the needful to one of them. It's amazing that once you stand up to them, it stops. Needless to say, they all were, and still are complete wasters.

    Yes i did.. and they were the fandagled fancy new chairs. I was a good kid, all the principal said was use your fist next time, no weapons. And no that isnt a joke.

    QFT, far too often people just take being railroaded/steamrollered into something because of fear. I looked forward to my drink every day! It was those plastic hip flask shaped things with the blue caps :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    Yep. There were a few lads in school all part of a gang but there was one fella in particular who pretty much made my life hell. I couldn't even walk past his house without him coming at me with something trying to kill me.

    Don't think i ever got bullied by girls though. They can be much more vicious.

    Just reading thru here and I'm so glad I wasn't bullied at school, I was in a kind of popular group so that's prob the reason why....and we didn't bully anyone either, all we wanted to do each day was play football out in the yard.

    It must be traumatic for quite a few of ye to have to face this day in, day out as kids, I can only imagine the mental anguish ye suffered.

    To all ye who stood up for yourself and gave the bullies what for....I salute each and every one of ye!

    I did have some spots from 13-15 but no braces, wore glasses in class for the blackboard but not outside the classroom, i was a bit of nerd but very athletic, playing basketball, football, hurling and swimming so I didnt get bullied into my teenage years thankfully :D

    I had some fella who used to think it was funny to jump me from behind, push me on my face, kick me when i was on the ground, in the face sometimes, slam my head against the wall etc. He wasn't laughing when one day in a corridor at lunchtime, nobody else there, he runs towards me, and just as he lands the first punch, I swung around and planted a clean dig into his face, dislocating his jaw:D First and last time I ever punched somebody, I was a really quiet child but just had enough of this prick. Felt kind of guilty for injuring him like that, but it was worth it to see the hard bastard, or so-called hard bastard, crying, and believe me that was a sight seldom seen with this fella!

    This is not true. You didn't break my jaw. It was merely the sound of your hand breaking from hitting the wall after I ninja-ducked out of the way and planted a fist into your ear which made you wake up thinking that all that happened :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 416 ✭✭Hamiltonion


    I was bullied quite badly in Secondary school, to get back I used to seal up the guys (plural) lockers with superglue, as you had to pay for a new one if you broke it. Snapped one day and spear tackled the main offender during a fight in PE, put out his back and sent him to a few weeks of physio. Can't say I've ever felt bad about it...

    All of the above are now unemployed and uneducated/unskilled:D

    When I was in maybe senior infants, there was an older boy who used to take my lunch.
    Apparently I came home one evening and told my mammy "Don't give me ham sandwiches anymore". Why not? "James doesn't like them".

    Haha. The innocence of it.

    I had the unique experience of being bullied by a teacher.

    I went to a small country school, and so there was junior infants, senior infants, 1st class in the same classroom, and then 2nd 3rd and 4th class in another classroom. 5th and 6th then had the principal teaching them.

    Anyway, when I went into 2nd class, there was a new teacher. She made my live HELL. She ridiculed me in front of the entire classroom at every oppertunity.
    I recall one incident where the local priest called in and he asked me a question -- and i replied. I think it was something to do with liking mondays.

    After he left, this older girl, she was in 4th class -- the opposite side of the room -- mimiced exactly what i had said and the teacher and most of the class scoffed at me.

    My cousins then moved down from dublin. One was in my class, and the boy was in 5th class. My cousin in my class ended up telling her mum what was happening, who in turn told my mother.

    My mother obviously went to the school, trying to sort it out, but the teacher used to pull me out of the desk after she left, and shout at me asking me why was i wasting my mothers time.

    This one day though, my dad went into the school instead, and outwardly accused her of bullying. The only response she had was to faint.

    That bitch made me repeat 3rd class but had me doing 4th class work, and I'm pretty sure it was just to prolong me being in her classroom.

    If I got a sum or a spelling wrong, she used to send someone out to the other classroom for a 1st class kid, and would ask him if he knew the answer, and would prompt him.

    The heating wasnt working another day, so she said we could leave our coats on inside.
    We went out to play at breaktime, and we were playing chasing, so obviously I had warmed up, and took my coat off. Sitting inside, it was chilly again, so I put my coat back on and she told me that I could "leave it off. you were running around the yard without it."

    She was removed from the school in the middle of 4th class, and I've since heard she was removed from the school she was sent to, for kicking a student.

    Animal.
