where you ever bullied??? and why???

Answer 1

Yes i was. it was all verbal and on two occasions physical. As a result i have a very low self confidence and harbour a resesntment to those who physically bullied me.

I wasnt the prettiest or the slimmest of girls and i was extremely shy. I was called names i cant bring myself to mention. I was stabbed in the leg with a biro and the fattest boy who was 5 years older than me used to stand on my toes with the heal of his shoes so i couldnt move. My brother tried to stand up for me but he used to get bullied. The problem was some of them were his friends (or so called). I have tried to move on but it still hurts.

I have said in the past to many people, you can break a vase and stick it back together. It will still be a vase and can still be used but the cracks will still be there. That is how I feel.

Answer 2

I was not actually bullied as such, but I think we have all been teased or ridiculed about something at some point during our school years . Unfortunately it does seem to be a never ending problem, so the solution is ( I think) to learn how to deal with these people . They are clearly very miserable and insecure, and the only way they can make themselves feel better, is to pick on others whether it's verbal or physical .
I am having a hard time at the moment dealing with a 6 year old child who is constantly physically hurting my 6 year old son . He claims to be his " friend" and whenever an incident occurs ( which is fairly often ) he claims that he was only " playing ".

Everyone needs to stand up to bullies ( although it's not always that simple ) otherwise it will continue to happen forever .
I have told my son to hit back...and hard...as the teachers won't put a stop to it, maybe a taste of his own medicine will . I hate having to tell my child to get so violent, but I don't want him to be a victim either !

Answer 3

I was bullied at school because i have eczema and i was fat, practically every day. I got quite bitter until one day i fought back. I don't know what came over me, i just lashed out and beat the living snot out of the bully that tormented me for years. I was considered mental by the other kids in my year and all the other bullies stayed away from me after that day.
Some of them actually became friends with me, but i never bullied anybody and the bullies that became my friend didn't either.
So in a sense being bullied makes you a stronger person in later life if you can stand up for yourself. Or you go mental or psychotic. It's made me into a stronger person today and i stick up for myself and don't take any abuse from anybody. Not only that I'm smarter than they are because while they were bullying people i was doing my school work and past every grade when they failed most of them.
Like my dad used to say, if they call you things just say thank you, but if they hit you, hit them back twice as hard.
I followed my dads advice and I've never looked back.
Good luck.

Answer 4

yes . i suppose i was fairly shy and reserved , part of the upbringing i guess . if you stand out in a crowd for all the wrong reasons , people can be so cruel , particularly when they become a group with others who only tag along and are indeed far insecure than they'd like to make hiding behind someone who needs a 'fix' by assuming they are an authority unto themselves . ride out the the storm the best way you can , is my advice , because over time people get bored with this type of person . and you also need to talk to someone you can trust or feel close to and tell whats going on , you're not dobbing the bully in but you need to get them off your back . good luck and hang in

Answer 5

Yes, I have been bullied a number of times in my life. I guess it was probably because I was brought up to speak well, to be polite and to put other people first. I was always expected to put other people's needs before my own. So, I grew-up with no appreciation of my own gifts or strengths. I was made to feel that I did not matter, to anyone or even to myself. I have not made the same mistake with my own children, but I still have a tendency to allow other people to take advantageof my good nature- it is hard to break-away from the discipline of an Irish/Catholic background!

Answer 6

I was bullied at school and it actually (more or less) ruined any chance of me mixing with even a small number of people in later life.
To this day I dont know the reasons. It might have been jealousy as I was quite bright and very good at art, reading, and science. They may have got pissed off with me. But I could not be ''unbright'' could I?

Answer 7

I was bullied when I was about 9 years old and there was 4 older boys that done it.they were 11 years old at the time,it would always happen as I was going to and from school and I remember being terrified when I saw them,they would throw stones at me push me in to the road,hit me,spit on me,push me over and I think the name calling was the worse.Still to this day I do not know why they did it and they only stopped when my headmaster found out what was going on and they had the cane and later they moved on to another school.

Answer 8

I was never bullied, I was mostly teased when I was younger. I really don't know why, he mostly started then others started doing at as well because I guess others though he was cool so they wanted to do the same just to inpress him and be on his side. Ignored him, eventually when I went to Jr. High he and hes buddys stopped bugging me. So I guess ignoring them payed off, now I laugh about it. I don't live in that state anymore so I didn't have to bother looking at their faces plus I thought those people were kind of fake.

Answer 9

yes, because my mother made sure my older siblings and i were the biggest losers in school. among many other very bizarre and destructive things she did, she only allowed us one bath a week and bought our clothes and picked out what we would wear every day. nothing fit properly, nor was it anything even close to fashionable at the time. we were not allowed any choices whatsoever and being minors living in her house we had to obey her rules. she did not allow us to have social lives or participate in any extracurricular activities so we were not well known or well liked by our peers. i was harassed and beaten up nearly every day at school by classmates who had no clue what my life was like, and then was punished severely for it when i got home because i *provoked* the mean kids. all i ever did to provoke anyone was to show up, which was required by law.

needless to say, i raised my own children a very different way. they are both popular, well liked and respected among their peers. i would never want my children, or anyone else for that matter, to go through what i did while i was growing up.

Answer 10

YES! I was a nerd when I was in grammar school. (1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades) My mom taught me to read before I went to school so I was an excellent reader. The teacher used to make me get up in class and use me as an example of how to read. (bad thing to do) After school, the kids would gang up on me until my older sister would come out and beat them up. My dad finally got fed up with the whole scenario and he taught me some basic boxing moves. It wasn't to long before the principal was calling my home saying I was beating kids up after school. From that time on, kids stopped picking on me. To this day, I hate fighting, ( of course I'm to old to fight now) and would rather turn around and walk away. It doesn't prove anything and the only time I would fight would be to protect my family.
