picked on at school?

Question

How many people got picked on when they went to school? I did...I had little friends and i never graduated and i now look back at it and think, damn them kids for making my life miserable when i went to school and had to quit!!! I am very protective of my 8 year old daughter..if i see someone being mean to her, i go right up to the kid and say, leave her the **** alone or i will kick your ***. I get soooo mad

I don't have any anger anymore, i just do not want my daughter to go through the same thing or i will allow her to quit

its funny how much i got picked on and got chased and beat up, now i get flirted with a ton

my mom even went to the principle and it did not help. it seemed to have gotten worse. they would threaten me and say I will wait for you after school. I got beat up so many times and not one on one, it was more like 3 on 1. and all their friends cheering.

Answer 1

I was too and it was horrible...I went through the awkward stage of pimples and thick glasses...it was horrible...But you know what it made me a better person today...Everything happens for a reason...I am sure you are a better person than any of those assholes who picked on you...Tell your daughter to keep her head up and be proud!!! Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

You can't protect your child from everything and everybody or they will never learn to stand up for themselves and they will also be miserable. I was picked on because I was the fat kid, but you just have to muddle through and do what you can. I never used getting picked on as an excuse to have a miserable life. I rose above it and graduated. You make the choice as to how you let it affect you. The more people know that picking on you bugs you the more they will do it. Also if yo threaten to beat someone that is picking on your child you are no better than the bullies, and you will make things 10 times worse for your daughter because once you leave they will take it out on her.

Answer 3

I hear you!!! I was picked on at school too & the one time my parents went to the principle, it made things harder! I also never graduated but am now studying Business. My five year old daughter was being picked on a few weeks ago, having her treats stolen from her lunch box & bitchy girls (with bitchy mums) would be really mean to her but I have taught her to fight back WITH WORDS!!
The last time a girl laughed at her because she had her hair in a bun (like a ballerina), my girl turned to her & said "you wont be laughing when your head is full of lice" HAHAHAHAHA I'm so proud! I also ignore the other parents now so, naturally, they are interested in making conversation with me because they figured out that I see them for the bitchy gossips that they are & they don't like it!
The power of words will always prevail....i only wish my parents had thought of teaching me that, then there wouldn't have been so many suspensions & I just might have finished school!
In saying that though, i quite often see the mean girls from my old school (Im 26 now so its been over 10 years) & more often than not, they want to say hi but I pity them now as i learned something called compassion. Something they will probably never understand.

Answer 4

First I would not go up to a kid and say those words.

I had not friends in school. Everyone was mean to me as well.

And this has happen to my boys as well. But I do not do what you do. I am there for my boys and we talk about how it makes them fell. Because no matter how much you yell and scream it will not change that there will be mean people out there.

My 16 year old said that what has helped him and helped stop the meanness is that he just don't listen to them. He knows that he is good person and the only person that he has to care about what he does is himself. The kids at school are impress with this.

Don't get me wrong it does hurt him when they do it, but he feels that if they have to pick on him then that just means that they have their own issues to work out.

You should teach your child how to handle better then going up and yelling and name calling. You are just adding fuel to the fire.
I do say things to the kids but I do not yell or say bad words to them.

Good luck

Answer 5

I got picked on in school cuz i have a heart condition and my lips would turn blue so they would call me purple lips and laugh it made me feel really screwed up for awhile until I hit the 10th grade I just started to laugh at them and i became a major smart *** to those jerks i turned into a very hard person that built walls that took a long time to take down I think the best thing to do is talk to your daughter about what it feels like and let her lean on you for support and ask her how she wants you to help her

Answer 6

Yeah I got picked on in school but we all have at one point or another some more so then others. but getting mad and cursing at the kids isnt a good way to go about it. being protective of your child is great I am the same way with my girls. but I have found that talking to the kids in a more calm manner and just ask them if they would like someone to pick on them that way it usually seems to help. if that doesnt work talk to the school and or the parents. I think alot of the problem is parents arent teaching their children how to be curtious to eachother and us as parents not only need to teach our kids that its not ok to make fun of others but also set an example of how we handle the situalion and how we treat others.

Answer 7

Last year I was threatened and picked on and I had to change school. I can understand when you get over protected with your daughter I'm the same way with my younger brother and cousins

but you got to remind her not to let her go down to their level and not pick on kids like they do.. and don't let her drop out of school.. If it really gets bad.. go to the office or change schools.. I really like my school now I have a lot of respect now. Just don't let her drop out and tell her to ignore the other kids they're stupid anyway...

Answer 8

I used to fight alot in school, when someone said something to me i didnt like i didnt wait till after school to jump on em, I did it right then and there and didnt stop till there was bloodshed sometimes, boys got it too! Dont let ur child grow up to be a punk ***, if someone is talkin stuff, let em have it, right there in the "kisser" bet u they will respect ur kid after that!

Answer 9

I was picked on at school and my son was until I stepped in and made school officials accountable for their job which is to protect him and ensure his safety in my absence. You can't always be with your child and as she gets older those children will target your child more if you continue the same role of being her bodyguard. Empower your child with techniques to evade those situations. Build her self esteem. Make the school officials accountable. I can help.

Answer 10

I was never picked on, I was pretty popular, but I was kinda like anti-popular because Ireally did not want a lot of attention. I was never mean to people unless they were mean to me. Ialways tried to be nice to the kids that were singled out and picked on. BUT they did tend to be an @ss to me even though I was trying to be nice.
