I'll give you the same answer I gave to another Yahoo question of the same subject area:
Bullies ! Bullies ! Bullies!
How I HATED the bullies!
My dad is a bully, so that didn't help, but I did learn how to deal with them. People in general need to understand that this is a part of life - bullies are EVERYWHERE. But what's funny is this:
When they grow up; when they finally mature, guess what? They DON'T REMEMBER that they did bullying. They did not know that they hurt people. Is that not something else? I've seen shows of people who confront the bullies some 10, 20 yrs later on a television show, and the bully was totally CLUELESS that they created such pain in another student; in fact, the show I watched had the bully as not even REMEMBERING the person at all!
And of course, I've attended reunions, and most of the bullies have had rough lives, unhappy, looking years older than they should, so now I feel sorry for them.
Chances are, a person during their lifetime will probably face alot of people like that, some to be mean, some are just ignorant of what they are doing. We need to focus on having empathy for others, and show people who have afflictions that they can be loved, too. There are kids who are crippled, blind, deaf, health problems of all kinds that are also picked on. It's unfair, but it is life. We can learn to be sympathetic and develop a deeper understanding of peoples feelings, so that maybe, when we become adults, there are careers in counseling, nursing, becoming a doctor, physical therapist, or some other occupation that will help a person feel like they are a part of the community of mankind; that they are loved by giving of onself to others. This runs contrary to the Bully's Purpose in Life / Mission Statement.
Bullies are miserable people.
Ignore them.
PS - I like to get in line early - so the first "thumbs down" mark doesn't count - just sour grapes from someone who didn't like my opening remark:
Just gettin' in line!
Get a life!

Yes I take it seriously. No one has the right to bully or tease another. I spent years being teased and beaten up by bullies. I was not allowed to defend myself and no one stopped the teasing because I was going to a Catholic school the teachers told me to turn the other cheek despite it being as bruised as the first one. Finally, one day I broke under the pressure and got hold of a tormentor's arm and twisted it behind her back demanding that she let go of my hair (which she was pulling) and I kept twisting until she let go - she was in a sling for a week after that. The other kids finally stopped beating me up, but when it came to high school I went where they weren't and I had friends and fun.

Bullying is very very serious. Has anyone ever heard the song "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam? It's based on the true case of a kid who killed himself in front of his classroom because he was bullied badly.
Parents don't take bullying seriously, especially the parents of bullies. They always say "Oh, kids are like that". Well, if you raised your stupid kids right, they wouldn't be that way. Not all kids are like that and they should be made responsible for their actions.

Yes,, it should be taken seriously...It is cruel to see the way people get off by belittling others... bullies to me are the one who actually have the so called low self esteem...so when they pick on another it will temporally make them feel bigger...it is also used as a way of forming clicks

yes as a long time victim of bullying (im 18 now, i was bullied since kindergarden) and i realize how much it hurts, it got to the point where i was considering a school shooting as a viable idea (the ideas are long gone as i have matured and realize how wrong i was) and got to the point where i was almost expelled for fighting and got really upset
unfortunatly i was in a really crappy school, they didnt even have a harrasment policy, which is in violation of a 17 year old law here in wisconsin...a punishment for me being stabbed in 6th grade was the loss of a 20 minute recess of the stabber...the principle i had for3 years 7th grade to 9th grade was a complete bully, not just to me, to everyone, he was antagonistic and when you did even a little thing wrong he would scream and yell and way over react, he would go out of his way to set you up for a detention or a suspention..he did to me many times (the end of 9th grade was when i was thinking of shootings as a solution) which iswhen he would go out of his way the most one occasion, my friend had mono and obviously she couldntcompete in gym class, the gym teacher sent her with attendence tothe office, then the library, when she was in the library, he came and started saying being sick with mono wasnt an excuse to miss gym, she showed him the doctors excuse, he turned to a boy who did nothing wrong and started chewing him out for reading a magazine...in 7th grade (one of the most rediculous times with him) me and my riend were friends with two high schoolers, we would sit in the cafeteria and talk to them (the high school and middle school were one) and he would chew us out for "not being in the right place and hanging out with high schoolers" our responce was to make sure we were in this same place every day until he told us exactly the boundry of where we could be (which he eventually did after we all got detentions) even when we would stand on one side and the high schoolers would stand on the other side, he'd still flip out but we proved he didnt have crap for an argument...
in 8th grade we went through a rash of my overshirts being thrown in a toilet...nothing was done the shirts were ruined, some girls shoe was destroyed, the priniciple (half the year it was a new guy) they questioned me non-stop and i got the bullying causes columbines speach....i flipped out and said my property is destroyed you dont do crap, someone elses is and one, you have no evidence i was involved, and two, i am not involved and i dont know who is...nothing happened
9th grade was complete hell, it got to the point where i got an alternitive schedule to escape the bullying and the principle...nuff said...
id tell more but my hands hurt from typing this (sorry for the typos, im a little tired)

a million. he isn't a lie. you are able to not teach that he's. 2. undesirable issues ensue to solid human beings. watching for all times to be solid to us in simple terms because of the fact we are solid is like asking a bull to not cost considering the fact which you're a vegetarian. enable circulate of the nonsense that God is a micromanager and that the evil that folk do is all area of a few plan of his. 3. I hear you. My life became into in probability a pair of situations in junior extreme and extreme college. not something can justify what surpassed off to the two persons. it rather is in simple terms that some each and every physique is comfortable determining on on the weakest member of the %., no count if power is measured by potential of tangible prowess or social status or popularity. 4. God would not hate you. by no potential pay attention to absolutely everyone who places that lie in God's mouth. 5. by no potential, ever kill your self. do not supply your enemies the satisfaction. stay in simple terms to spite them. stay to be chuffed. stay to be certain what God can do for you. look for him out; he will discover you. 6. i don't think of which you're grotesque, yet whether you have been, so what? in simple terms what does that would desire to do with the cost of tea in China? in the journey that your heart is solid and form, in case you circulate out and do what you are able to to serve human beings, then you definately seem handsome sufficient to God. Please do not supply up. life has joys for you down the line whether you would be unable to work out them yet.

Yes, I have on & off and it annoys me that people can get to me like that. I usually have some smart a-- remark for them and look like I'm blowing them off when in reality, I'm seething or hurting inside.
