Have You ever been bullied?

Question

If yes What did you do about it And/Or what did you wish you had done about it?

Answer 1

YES I WAS BULLIED

AND ONE DAY I TOOK IT ONE TO MANY TIMES AND I FAUGHT BACK. OF COURSE I END UP WITH A BLACK EYE (LOL) BUT SO DID SHE AND IT FELT GOOD. A WEEK LATER SHE ASK ME SOMETHING SILLY I ANSWER AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER WE STARTED TO LAUGH.

SHE IS TODAY MY BEST FRIEND.

Answer 2

When I was 10 this one boy would bully me on the way to and from school (this was 42 years ago, we walked to and from school) I didn't do anything as I was too scared. I didn't even say anything to him. I told my mother and she said to just continue doing what I'd been doing and eventually he will stop. It worked, he eventually left me alone. I can't remember how long of a period he bullied me (seemed like forever back then) but now looking back it wasn't really that long. So, I don't wish I had done anything differently.

Answer 3

Hi. I got bullied a lot in school, and I have some suggestions.
How to deal with bullies often depends on the age the bullied person is. Dealing with bullies in high school takes a different approach than bullies in elementary school or at work.

At any rate, sometimes violence ('hitting back') can help, but it isn't always practical. I hit back at some point in elementary school, and it only gave me peace for a few days. If a bullied person want to use violence, they should be careful, try not to take on someone who will win for sure, or who has a lot of friends standing by. Being defeated in a fight you started will probably only make things worse.

I don't recommend violence at all, to be honest. Changing a bully's attitude will be hard (but not impossible, I'll get back to that) but changing your own attitude is easier and much more helpful. People react strongly to the way someone stands in life, and what helped me remarkably well in young adulthood (appr. 20 years of age) is the 'independent but friendly' attitude.

When you're independent and friendly, you're self-confident without being aloof. Imagine, being all by yourself, no relatives, no friends: it would suck, but you wouldn't die. You CAN live entirely on your own. It's important that you realise that you don't actually NEED anyone.

Now, it's fun to have people around, and you probably would like friends. But you don't NEED them. So, someone wants to be your friend? Cool, let's be friends. They don't? Aww shucks, well, no skin of your back.

Your happiness doesn't depend on other people. When people call you names or treat you bad, why bother? You have yourself, and you are waaaaaay too important to occupy yourself with this cow-manure.

Of course, it's not always as easy as this. When people harm the bullied person physically, I'd say go to the authorities; if they cuss them out for that, well boo-hoo, they're not important to their life unless they make them.

Be a popular person in your own mind, and your attitude will change. It might just change others'. I'd also recommend the bullied person look for a different environment than the one they're bullied in. If someone's being bullied in school, they could try and find an afterschool activity; they might meet new people who aren't bullies.

And if it's you being bullied: always remember that this won't last forever. It's not going to be like this the rest of your life; you will survive. And you'll have a good time surviving.

Answer 4

Yes. I told my dad. The next day I closed the bully's eye with a right cross. Got suspended, but he never approached me again. Standing up to bullies is a good way to stop them. By the way I had three freinds holding him down when I punched him. Strength in numbers may seem chicken, but ... effective.

Answer 5

listen the people who bully are nothing but Low Life Punks!
stand up to them, they'll back off because inside they're nothing but little babies wanting to be like us!

Answer 6

Yes I have. I told my parents about it just so they knew. I stood up for my self.....I wasn't mean to them or anything...I just stood up for myself and acted like it didn't bother me and they got bored and stopped.
