Thats off the top of my head. Imagine that every day for 4 years :pac:

i was called the abortion tht failed
you couls=d have imply gone on a diet

LittleMuppet

Poshie or The Snob. I was neither but I spoke well and owned horses. I went to the local community school so all the kids from my area / primary school were called posh or snobby by the kids from the social housing estate beside the school.

DaithiMa

'Beaver' due to my prominent front teeth before I wore braces. The 'best' horrible nickname I heard was 'Ocras' for a lad that was a touch tight with money...

wakka12

Fatty or tubsy when I was younger
Then I lost a lot of weight and was called a weed a lot in secondary school
You just can't win :pac:

I think every school has at least one "Bug" "Bunny" or "Bugs Bunny" at all times.

Not defending it, just seems to be the case.

My German teacher once told me (in front of the whole class):

I've heard some teachers say some terrible things, some worse than the above, but somehow that just strikes me as the height of idiocy.

I didn't get called names in primary school, but there was usually some other unfortunate to pick on. In fourth or fifth class a pupil was 'welcomed' into our class having grown up in England of Irish parents. He was 'English bastard' (semi-encouraged by the bogger teacher who wouldn't shake his hand without a glove) and, because he was doubly unfortunate enough to have to wear glasses, 'specky four eyes'. About a week in to this poor cnut's ordeal, some other wnaker at break time used a ruler to fire a stone directly at his eye, it shattered one lens of his glasses. NO disciplinary action was taken even though the school authorities were perfectly aware who did it.

This was a 'christian brothers' school, I suppose I should be glad my arse was intact,

Then I moved to their secondary. Instantly the homophobic abuse started, because having a brain and wanting to learn was 'gay' :rolleyes: it never went away and the school refused to do anything about it the whole time I was there. Just pretend nothing is happening - wankers :mad: Typical catholics, cover up abuse and pretend it doesn't happen

Cnuts the lot of them. I actually sometimers find it hard to figure out that my kids are keen to go to school - but then I remember they're not going to catholic school :pac:

We're going to go out of our way (literally) and make sure that when our kids go to secondary, it won't be in a sex abuser school

The effect of this is that my wife will have to stay out of work for years to come, ferrying them between school and home

it's easier of course to allow them to be brainwashed, segregated by gender, and groomed for sexual abuse in the local catholic schools. That's what they're counting on.

I was called Nelson after Nelson Mandela for years. All because a woman with a similar name to mine released a song about him.

Fare Thee Well to your wife on her ferry on that arduous journey to the island where there are no sex abuser schools.

Next stop. Utopia.

What a trooper.

Lorelli!

I got called posh as well. Not sure why, my accent is quite neutral. Also when I was about 13, some girls wrote on a wall that I was a slut. I'd only kissed one boy by that time so not sure where they got that from. Just a word girls used a lot at the time to be mean I suppose.

There was a boy in school called Whippet because he was very skinny. I don't think that bothered him tbh. He seemed to embrace it. He answered to it anyway.

Would you not be better off homeschooling them ? That way they'd avoid any contact with people at all.

Sky King

Nothing otther than my surname (which most people assumed was a nickname). I didn't mind at all.

There was a kid in.my year with huge lips.

They called him 'apocalypse'.

Heh.

Some really intelligent responses there, well done :rolleyes:

There are 2 large secondary schools in this Dublin suburb - one RC girls school and one RC boys school. If you want your children to be treated like normal people - not segregated by gender and religion - you're s**t outta luck.

But yeah that obviously means I don't want my kids to have contact with people and I should homeschool them - I'm the one that's weird and our society is perfectly fine. Perfectly fine and not in the slightest bit weird and f**ked up at all at all. :rolleyes:

Sky King

Were you called 'homo' then?

Coz you know, you were home schooled?

I went to a mixed secondary school for 5 years. Based on the experiences of some of my classmates (And thankfully not me), mixed schools do not automatically insulate children from abuse.

Nobody on this thread said they were home schooled - if they were, where would the verbal abuse be coming from?

I'm not a fan of it. People who want schools to be like workplaces - where sectarianism and sexism are illegal, instead of regarded as the norm - shouldn't have to give up their jobs and segregate themselves from others. Generally it's religious nutcases who are into homeschooling so their kids will not have contact with sinners :rolleyes:

No but it's a less artificial environment. My wife went to the girls secondary here and bullying and cliques were rife, and subject choices very limited - girls don't need to do science apparently.

Morpork

I got called firestarter and ready brek (central heating for kids) on account of having red hair.
Jokes on them cause I'm going bald now.

Asked did I kill dogs

And... all I used to do is wear a black slipknot hoodie to school over my uniform in the mornings

I didn't even hang around with so called goths

Kids can be cruel

Saying that the main guy who did it is now dead from heroin OD

So F him and his family (they were complete scum) .. were horrible nasty people

Anyway ya names can hurt

I will always be checking in with my kids and somehow try to prevent bullying in anyway I can think of when I have them

I assume you don’t realize how superior you come accross? I went to my local all boys catholic school. There was no abuse and very little bullying. I would guess that is most peoples experience.
Enough with the big dramatic statements.

Depending on how rough your school, loads of people had some kind of embarrassing and often surreal nickname.

In a weird way, it showed you were accepted.

I have two school friends that I still call by a nickname other than their real first name. They're not insulting names just surreally unrelated to their actual names and we actually can't remember how they came about.
