Those who pick and take out all their stress on the weak. And only on the weak.
Really can’t stand ppl like that.
It’s literally sickening.
Sure, there is always a reason why ppl are bullies.
But still, the act of bullying is DISGUSTING and can take a long time to recover from.
Ps
… I may be guilty of bullying sometimes… I’m not sure.
Not gonna pretend I’m perfect.
Pretty much all through high school I was targeted
There was nothing of me and I took longer to grow height wise
People used to take advantage of me big time
ASD didn’t help, or the fact it wasn’t diagnosed when it could have helped most
I hid away a lot during high school so that ppl could not target me.
Hope you get the support you need for ASD eventually.
I’ve never gotten totally over it. I’ve ignored several suggestions to do a college course of some kind because of it. I show off sometimes with IQ scores, but it’s false bravado. The truth is my self confidence is gossamer thin. The fear of failing a course very strong.
I’m sorry to hear that.
I dealt with the bullies and was at points one myself.
Honestly the people I bullied and the people who bullied me were just fine when me or they weren’t around our friends.
So it is a two way sewer.
I don’t hold anything against those that bullied me. Had worse happen to me anyways.
Oh okay. It is good that you can be honest about that. I probably still Bully sometimes idk.
It’s easy habit to pick up.
You don’t learn what guardians tell u but how they treat you.
Anyway I’m not gonna say who I’m talking about.
That is true.
Kids who grow up with two sacrificing, loving parents with a stable home life that includes all their basic needs met plus the little extras tend to do better I think.
Alcoholism and drug use and parental divorce is not a good combo imho.
Also no abuse in the home in all its forms goes a long way too.
Death of a parent or siblings who bully each other does not help either.
The reason being that they are maybe not perfect but you know their parents probably weren’t perfect to them either etc…ppl might get the wrong idea of someone if I just say oh they did this to me cos there’s more to them than that 
Yea messed up things can make life more challenging 4 sure. Thankyou for sharing.
Exactly!
But the real question becomes who has the balls to break the cycle?
People are scared of change that is for sure.
I think ppl all try their best.
But that doesn’t stop the fact that something bad is bad. 
That’s very true, but at the same time, it is not an excuse.
I was bullied in school. At one point, I confronted my bullies (three girls). They were sitting under a tree, skipping class. I walked past to go to the restroom. On my way back to the classroom (an outside portable classroom), I walked up to them.
I asked “Why are you guys bullying me?? I don’t know what’s going on in your personal lives, but please don’t take it out on me. I hope things get better for you.” They scoffed with, “We’re not bullying you…”
BUT GUESS WHAT, they stopped bullying me after that. One of them even started sharing her notes with me in class (one class we had together).
I think people just don’t control themselves, and take out their troubles on other people. It’s not OK, but it’s true that they are probably doing it because of something happening to them that is making them stressed out or something. I think they just need some way to release those hurt feelings. But perhaps they need help finding a healthier way to release those feelings.
Are you being bullied by someone, @Zoe? I hope it gets better. It sucks to be bullied.
I remember this kid used to shoot me with paper wasps all the time in spanish class. It freakin hurt. I ended up stabbing him with a mechanical pencil. Not all the way but just enough to hurt him. I was so angry. I still have dreams of him bullying me.
I’m so sorry that happened to you but it’s good you spoke up.
And it even worked
I totally agree bullying is not okay
And there are alternatives
I’m not being bullied.
I used to be bullied
Thanks for asking
Yes it’s so good to speak up because sometimes ppl aren’t even aware of how bad it makes ppl feel. And sometimes they are just out of control and don’t even realise.
Very good point
I was bullied all my life and for a while during childhood I was a bully.
Yeah getting bullied gave me emotional scars
in my 5th grade there was this one kid who was bigger and meaner than everyone
he bullied everyone
so one day a kid told on him to the teacher
they pulled him a side and said his phone number was not up to date
so they said give it to them
he refused asking why
they told them they were going to meet with his parents
by this time everyone else was back in the class room
all of a sudden we heard screaming and crying
i said to his friend whats the big deal he just get grounded
his friend says hell no his old man was a total drunk and would beat the hell out of him and everyone on the street could hear his cries of pain
since then i always think what could that bully really be looking for
