    I hung around with a really mean crowd from 1st to 3rd year. In 2nd year, we used to kind of take the piss out of this girl, she was in 1st year...we were really bit*hy.

    Then in transition year, ( had changed friends at this stage ) I went with the parish to Lourdas as a helper and she was one on the travellers. She had cancer and was quite sick. Felt really guilty, but were good friends at the end of the trip.

    P.S The girls I hung around with from 1st to 3rd year are now all unemployed with loads of kids and boyfriends that beat them up!

    I cant say i really got bullied but there are a few moments in my younger life that i wish i had not talked my self out of a fight and just gone for it.

    I was bullied in school - as I got older my way around things was to get one up on the bullies by doing better than them. I was lucky that my parents were liberal and let me read, listen and watch whetever I wanted so I was bullied less when I got older as I had more freedom than the bullies, so it sort of made me cooler even though I was a nerd, the fact that I was allowed the Pogues albums when I was young helped me. Revenge is doing better than those who are hurting you - but I would not believe in doing anything else - though like anyone I do suffer from foot in mouth and have had to appologise afterwards.

    Yea i did learn in school , learned that 90% of my school were di*ks !I dont see what people could get out of hassling someone everyday for 3 years like .

    Maybe he was too shy to ask me out :)

    Well I'm in school and I used to be bullied but not anymore. I just went to my Form Tutor and he dealt with it. That didn't stop the problem completely but then back in Nov. or something the main guy was suspended for punching a friend of mine. That was sweet (the suspension, not my friend being punched, obviously). :D

    Can't say I never stood up for myself but it didn't really change anything. When there's more of them than you they don't really have a reason to stop. All's good now, everyone leaves everyone alone. Except, a few days ago someone (in my class I assume) put me up as a dance teacher (Belvo doesn't even have dance) on rateyourteachers and slagged me off here. I sent a "strongly worded" complaint to the website but so far it hasn't been removed. I'm thinking of bringing it to the principal/school's attention. Maybe they can harrass the website for me. Probably won't..... maybe. Lol.

    The only times I've said something I regret is to my friends when I maybe disagreed with them or something and I pissed them off. But I've always apoligised (properly, not just, "Sorry") within a day or 2. So we've always made up. :)

    hehehe, well that I dont know about - but the sweetest revenge I ever had was one bully, I found him years later working as a shelf packer in superquinn - oh how I laughed - then i waited outside and beat him up (that'll learn him to crack my skull open)

    Nobody lives a perfect childhood, don't be such an idiot.

    I've only punched one person, and it was well-deserved as he insulted me over a death in my family, I don't regret it at all.

    Never regretted hitting anyone. I've regretted not hitting a number of people.

    ...and you look down on people who's jobs aren't as good as yours!! So you're saying you're both d*cks?

    When I was around 11 or 12 a crowd of us in school used to take the piss out of this redheaded girl who wore a beret to school. Wish I hadn't done that tbh. Soon after I stopped 'going with the herd' so to speak so I guess something positive came out of it.

    (Regarding bashings I've never hit someone who didn't deserve so I've no regrets on that front.)

    lol.

    "This pizza tastes unusually salty"

    Pigman, looking at your name got me thinking about changing my name to just Caesar, but a quick search revealed that there is a Caesar. I feel so dirty.

    Wow, alot of peeps were bullied here. I guess it's the way it is, your gonna be tested at some stage when you're growing up. Just gotta stand up for yourself, or talk your way outta trouble.

    Nobody seems to recognise that bullies bully for a reason: low self esteem (or some other problem). That's why they end up in the sh!t jobs or find boyfriends that slap them around... and make babies that grow up to be just like them. I guess you realise this as you grow up. But if you've been on the wrong end of a bully's attention then you're not exactly gonna feel sorry for them.

    I've been on both sides of the coin, but nothing serious.

    ...At least I hope there's nobody out there who's seriously f***ed up over me... no, there isn't.

    The last time I offended someone (didn't even realise it) I got a right smack in the face. Kind of enjoyed it though. But apparently now she hates ne because I wouldn't let her apologise properly???

    This one time, there was me and this girl. We never really got on. She was a narrow minded cow. Obsessed with stupid things that most of my small group of eight friends, the very tight knnit group, never bothered with. There was loads of socal cliques, but they never bothered us. But with her she always wanted to be liked by them or watever.

    One day in second yaer, or third yaer, YEARS Ago, anyhoo. She calimed I was sitting in "her chair". She had jsut bought soup and walked right up behind me. And started saying in front of the table: "Get the **** up". Because of her plain rudeness I said no, and more or less told her where she could go. She then proeeded to inform me that if I didn't move myself she was gonna "**** this soup all over ya". Common cow. Anyhoo. I jumped up at the threat. Ready to kill her. She was teeny, an stoopid. One quick punch in the gut she'd a been on the floor crying. But someting stoped me. I dunno if it was common sense, the fear that if I hada hit her I wouldn't have stopped! I've no idea. But I didn't.

    I just sat down. I said nothing.

    Tool.

    I recently had a "Renunion" with those same eight girls. She's older now. Still narrow minded, but some people never change. But I let all that anger go.

    Its her loss shes a moron.

    She also ruined our debs, which I woulda killed her for as well had I of know what was going on.

    Actually, I think she is theonly person in my life ever that I'd physically be willing to hurt.

    Maybe there is a ickle resentment.

    I just wonder what would have happened if I did punch her that day.

    Though. No. No regrets.

    Pigman, looking at your name got me thinking about changing my name.

    I don't see the connection? Anyway I think Caesar_Bojangle is a much better handle than just plain old 'Caesar' (or a variation of same) so I'd stick with it. But then again look at the name I picked, so what do I know?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Caesar_Bojangle


    The whole Pigman, Pigman II thing caused me to think it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭galwaydude


    i was bullied in secondary school as i was shy, small and had bad acne back then.So the one regret i have is that i didnt stand up for myself back then.
