Mine wasn't to serious compared to what people can really do, but it was the type of bullying,
when everyone would let you know that you were weird and different and they would sort of alienated you.
And even the teacher took there side and he once called me a retard.

There was also a bit of contacted and provoking here and there mostly because i hanged around
with the weird hi-po kid that everyone thought was annoying and also because i was a bit chubby
for my age.
Also they probably wanted to see me get angry and show some sort of emotion. They never
got it. (And because of this attitude of not freely releasing my feelings and not letting them
get out of control ive never been in a fight or brawl and ive never purposly hurt someone in revenge.)

This of course happened when i was younger, when i got a bit older (about a year after)
i started to make some friends, but this laid a new problem because the people that bullied me
almost utterly destroyed my trust to know wheather someone does like me or doesn't like me.
So i would get suspicious and in my mind i would completely destroy a good friendship
with someone, which then would effect my attitude and actions toward that person.....

It still bothers me to some extent, I should have done this or I should have done that .

Yea i can relate to this.

I have been bullied by the women I love.. but that is about it.

I've never been bullied. But I knew that people thought I was weird and I knew the popular ones hated me, but thats about it. I was quite neutral in school, I wasn't one of the popular kids, but I wasn't one of the geeks either. I often kept to myself because I was irritated by pretty much everyone. Maybe that's why no one bullied me, I didn't take side?

[fantasista]

Yeah, a lot.. all through elementary and high school. I don't even like to talk about it. I was never overweight, but I was singled out because I was short, I had red hair, I was shy and I never fought back.

[TexanViking]

Nah, I've never been bullied. I generally like everyone I meet and they like me. The only person I "don't get along with" right now is because of a football rivalry, and we're mostly not serious. :P

i was bullied in 7th grade. i just bitched to my best friend about it and told myself that when this kid got into the real world, people wouldn't put up with his shit. I think I handled it pretty well, although I wish I hadn't been afraid to say something. But my self esteem was more bruised by my mom's verbal abuse so overall I think I didn't pretty well to protect myself and used logic to understand why I shouln't take this kids remarks personaly. My dad (parents divorced) always talked me through things with my mom so I had enough psychology 101 to know where this ked was coming from. But I was still intimidated by him and secretly wanted his acceptance. But I think that was just a reflection of what was going on with my mom.

no ... but there is one fact though ... at high school times ... i rarely went outside partying ... especially on those rubbish (more dangerous) places like many people did ... yet ... i got punched in face by total stranger (there was fight between few people ... and my 2 friends were close, and had a conversation in group close to all this ... i was at long distance waiting for them to go ... some guy had a fight and when he passed around me he said something like "what are you staring you fuck" .. and lol i was pretty drunk ... and i answered even more violently while smiling ... well ... totally unaware of fact that i actually dont have any fighting skills xD ... three times yay! for alchohol and suicide honesty :D ... and then i got attacked another time by probably drugged guy (friend with karate skills took care of him) ........ important note: i live in pretty peacefull city in czech rep. ... where this isnt common ... i guess i draw those primitive badguys :D

I have to admit that I wasn't one of the in-crowd and was very much a loner, having one or two good friends. Although it hurt at the time because I wanted to be in a popular crowd and I was excluded from their birthday parties, playtime etc., I just got on with school life and had my few friends. On reflection, I can laugh now because they all worked soooooooooo hard falling over themselves trying to keep up with each other, it really must have stressed them way out.

One nun was a particular bully and I was a rebel, not a naughty rebel but one who knew what a controlling and mind washing trap school was. I stood up to her even though I were really frightened but I realised that it was not going to get me anywhere, they were 'in-charge' and I was the kid contradicting authority. I then put my head down and did what I had to do to get to school leaving age. They may have made me tow the line but they could never break my spirit though - I still rebelled in my mind :-)

I went to a pretty small school, and I still do, so bullying isn't really an issue- people in the school are decent, and they know when it is unfair to pick on a certain person too much, so it is alright.
It is because of this that I haven't really gotten bullying, and when I do I tend to get aggressive, resorting to violence sometimes, even doing things out of malice. It is because of this also that I don't get bullied.

Yet is it just me or when I see my friends get bullied I do really really hate it, and the thing is, I don't do anything about it because I'm afraid of getting involved or insulting my friends by making them think that I think they are incapible in dealing with their problems...

Otherwise, no bullying problems... Though that is more because of the school I go to rather than anything else.

[Maiden]

Yes, I have been bullied. I still think about it and I often feel like I'm weird or strange. Maybe that's why I was bullied. But, I don't know.
