Did you ever bully somebody?

My name is URL · 28-08-2010 01:31PM

No

I remember there was this one girl at school who pretty much everyone in the class made fun of on a daily basis. They were horrible towards her really, I don't know how she managed to get up every morning to face that. It was disgusting.. Having said that, I never tried to stand up for her, nor did anyone else.. which in hindsight is just as bad as doing the bullying

I dont know if this counts as bullying but I used to give this kid in my class awful abuse on the school bus for eating egg sandwiches beside me. I used to get sick at the smell of them. I think he sat beside me just to p!ss me off. I remember it got too much that I kicked him around the place and gave him a tirrade of abuse. Think we were only about 8 at the time. Maybe you could say he bullied me...

I bully my sisters, they hate me now lol

I detest bullies. I remember way back I went to the assistance of a small boy being bullied by a very big girl. Well she took me on and I lost some of my hair & got scratches on my face. I told her I was going for a tetanus shot and legged it. These times are much calmer and I am well protected.

No never. As a kid, I never had any interest in being the alpha male type who wanted to be the centre of attention, or the loudest voice in the group. I always found kids like these were always most likely to be bullying others.

I used to be bullied until I beat the **** out of the fella who was doing it. He wasn't so tough the day his mates were off on a school tour.

I would say you bullied him, he ate egg sandwiches, you kicked the shít out of him.

I love the phrase that seems to excuse anything.

Sure we're only havin' a laugh

Told off some lads who were throwing glass bottles across the road at their 'Friends'. Guess what they said?

.

Theres plenty of distasteful people on boards who no doubt were bullies in their day. I remember the bulk of the posters in a thread (a lot of regular recognisable names rather then 5 post Anto's using textspeak) who thought I was some kind of freak because I didn't think the OP's story was a great laugh about how he pulled up alongside a lone female in the car and his mate threw a Milkshake in her open window on top of her. Sure weren't they only having a laugh and did I never do anything like that as a youngfella?? Eh, No, I didn't because I am not a prick!

DOC09UNAM · 28-08-2010 04:02PM

Could you link to that thread, because tbh, it doesn't sound like many people around here would have laughed at that.

Well now colour me confused!!

I found the thread in the archives and its from 2003 and everyone rails against the OP and I didn't post in it at all!!

The only thing I can think of was that it was another thread by the banned OP where I brought up his previous thread but because at that stage everyone but me it seems knew he was a troll, the regular posters pretended to side with him for the lulz in an AH stylee

Eh, it was a long time ago

Ignore my previous post so

Never, ever, ever. Bullying is disgusting.

I was in Tesco recently. I witnessed a young shelf stacker tormenting a fellow worker who I have figured out over the years is special needs. He was teasing this poor man who was not making any response, but was visibly getting upset by the teasing. I stood beside them, the young guy remarked to me that they were both having a "bit of fun at work". I said "This doesn't look like fun to me. He's not laughing, and I'm not laughing. You are being a bully, and I am going to report you to management".

It was his turn to go red-faced, it made my day.

rats out.

Paddycrumlinman · 28-08-2010 04:57PM

Unfortunately yes. Gave the guy a terrible time and I am a total W anker for the c rap I caused this guy. I was not the worst but any type of Bullying behavior should not be tolerated.

Young and stupid and you just don't realize the Harm Bullying of any kind can do to a Person.

Karma got me back though so even Steven's.

I got a call from my daughter's school one day telling me to come pick her up because she had got in a fight. I got to the school and went to the Principal's office where they had my daughter. The Principal told me that my daughter had gotten in a fight with three boys. My daughter was sitting there and I turned to her and asked what happened. She explained she was walking from one of her classes and saw a group of boys who had grabbed another boys jacket from him and were pushing him around. The boy who they grabbed the jacket from had down's syndrome. My daughter was furious when she saw this and jumped in there grabbed jacket and just started swinging. One boy got a bloody nose, one a bruise to his face, I can't remember what happened to the third.

I sat there in utter disbelief that they were going to suspend my daughter for defending this young man. The Principal said they didn't have a choice because the rules stated that anyone involved in a fight automatically gets suspended for 3 days, regardless of the circumstances. I told the Principal he was a mindless twit and that he did in fact have a choice, he was just making the wrong one and thank God my daughter knew the right one. I also told him I was going to choose to spend the next three days with my daughter rewarding her for her courage and doing what was right. I was so damn proud of my daughter. I made sure she had lots of fun for those 3 days of suspension.:)

Interestingly nobody picked on the boy again.:D

Never have, never would.

I despise bullying. Its a serious character flaw.

Horse_box · 28-08-2010 05:43PM

Never bullied anyone, was usually the person who tried to stop someone being bullied and got a few slaps for my troubles

el oh el · 28-08-2010 05:53PM

we had a bully in our school who was one year above us, when he failed final year he was put into our class the next year and on the first day he thought he could bully us like he used to bully his old class, but we put a stop to that within hours and after we bullied him for some time he turned out rather nice in the end and we stopped

demonspawn · 28-08-2010 05:56PM

I've bullied and been bullied. It's unfortunate but it's a part of human nature. It sorts the weak from the strong, meaning the strong will stand up for themselves before submitting. The weak will be bullied for the rest of their lives.

kev9100 · 28-08-2010 06:05PM

Never, bullying is a disgusting thing to do.

When I was about 12 or so this absolute **** who was in my class started bullying me. It went on for 6 months or so and it was horrendous. Thank God it ended when it did.

Did you learn to stand up for yourself? After 6 months I doubt it. Do you get bullied much at work?

I had a bully too. He constantly tried starting fights with me but I just ignored him. One day we were running around the football field. He and a few of his mates ran up to me, the bully punched me in the face. I flipped out and started swinging like a maniac. I broke his nose and gave him two black eyes. We became friends after that and bullied others together. Such is the way of life my friend.

I'm a student and no, I have never been bullied since. And yes, I did stand up for myself.

Good for you. Maybe if we taught our kids to not be such cowards we wouldn't have problems with bullies, in childhood and in the real world.

filthymcnasty · 28-08-2010 06:34PM

Yes absolutely, but only those who posted repetitive threads on popular internet forums.
Used to get some serious lunch money off these wasters.

No, I'm the reason my mates in school didn't get bullied. I was 6 ft. by the time I was 12 and I was the biggest nerd you will ever meet. I was in 2 "gifted" programs in school, one for humanities and English, reading etc. and one for sciences. All my best friends were nerds.

Because I actually stood up for myself and beat that kid silly, all the other bullies in that school left me and my friends alone. I became popular with the "in" crowd because they didn't see me as a nerd anymore. I ended up failing out of the gifted classes and joined the football (American) team. I grew up in the States btw.

Don't for one second think that you know anything about my life.

So you turned from a nerd to bully?

Still makes you a bully.
