when you were a kid....?

Question

were you a bully? Or were you bullied?
Did you ever stand up for the little guy?

Answer 1

I dunno...i think maybe in grade 3 i was....b/c this girl was racist... I was really rude....in my younger days though...I'd make my friend cry sometime =\ but she cried over everything...
and I remember this girl named Diana...I didn't like her--she was nice though...but I just didn't like her..and I'd tell people not to talk to her...but I'd still be nice to her..b/c she didn't do anything to me
but one day this guy....I hhaaaatee....started making fun of her...and I was getting angry...b/c where does this guy get off making fun of people...so I ended it...so after that....I didn't tell people to ignore her anymore
it's soo strange....in elementary school...I'd go from having power to having no power to having power again...and it had to do with the fact..i didn't look like my friends....like I'd hang out with a goth looking girl...and you know...soo the girls from the other group would try to get me to join them...and in grade 8...I did without even realizing it...i got invited everywhere...no one could touch me b/c I was with this girl that EVERYONE was afraid of...and she'd always defend me...if anyone tried to do anything (rare)

Answer 2

There were times when I was bullied. I was a short girl and unfortrunately am still short. Plus I wear glasses and did as a kid. So I got bullied or teased about both.
To my shame, I did not stand u for the little guy (in this case) it was a grade school child. I was in what was called at that time junior high (middle school now)? and my "friend" started teasing this little girl. I was afraid of things myself then and while I was not doing the teasing, I wasn't doing anything to stop it. Things escalated and one day this "friend" burned this child with a cigarette. One day soon after that, her father approached us and told us that if we were the ones who were responsible for this, it had better stop. I was so ashamed of my fear at not stopping this person from hurting this girl.
If that were today, I'd deck her and then report her to the police.

Answer 3

When I was 11, I was a bully. The girl I bullied gave me a picture saying "thank you for being my best friend". She thought I was being her friend when i was making fun of her. I felt terrible that I was so mean.

When I was 14, I remembered that when I saw another girl being harassed by some girls. I stepped in and they backed off. I told her to run, we ended up being best friends and are still friends today, 12 years later.

Answer 4

I wasn't a bully because I was desperate for other kids to play with. I was the oddball in my neighborhood and was picked on a lot. I learned to hide my feelings and pretend I didn't care. And yes, I did stand up occasionally for other kids that were given a hard time. But sometimes I didn't because I didn't want to draw attention to myself.

Answer 5

because I was very thin I was bullied but I turned the tables on the bully's many times and at times I did stand up fore the little guy.

Answer 6

Yes, there was a point in my life when I was a bully. I feel really badly for it now. I do try to make up for it now by doing nice things for people randomly. I don't know if that can make up for the mean things I did, but it can't hurt.

Answer 7

I was not a bully, I was not bullied, and unfortunatley I did not stand up for the little guy.

Answer 8

I was bullied, unfortunately. The good thing was that I learned to entertain myself and develop skills I needed to succeed in this life. But it wasn't fun at the time.

Answer 9

I used to protect that "little" friend of mine from all the bullies..
I dont know why but they were scared of me...

Answer 10

As a kid I was the one trying to fix the world. I was going to fix everything and everyone. By age 15 I realized that was impossible. I still kept trying though.
