Have you or your children encountered bullying? What did you do about it?

Answer 1

I have been bullied a lot. I did the wrong thing though I never really told anyone because when I did I got pushed down harder. I'll still stand up for myself I just have gotten used to any of the bullying I'll get. Its probably why I have low self esteem. I don't let my self esteem effect the way I treat others I just think very lowly of myself.

Answer 2

I encountered potential bullies in school. I beat them up before they could do it to me. I strongly dislike fighting, and it violates my religious principles, but once you give the bullies the idea that you'll take their garbage, they'll never leave you alone. When I was in fights, I'd be extremely brutal and efficient about it, because I wanted it to be known that I wasn't the kind of person who'd tolerate that kind of treatment. I figured that when the other bullies saw my opponent's smashed, bleeding face, they'd get the message. However, if I had it to do over again, I'd probably try to find a more stable way of addressing the issue. I hated those people for harassing me to the point of fighting. I just wanted to be left alone.

Answer 3

no. toughness runs in my veins. no one would try something so foolish, because they know that not only would I fight them off, I would get even, scratch that, I'd get ahead, lol. they must be evil if they do something so cowardly, so sometimes the only way to fix that problem is to beat some sense into them. I can be very vengeful. so you'd better watch out if you cross me. I caught a guy beating a little one, and guess what I did about it? I broke a glass bottle I found over his head and cut him in the neck with a shard of glass. he lived, but now he can't talk.
I just ask myself, what is the dragoness thing to do. would a dragon let him get away with that?
if I do that to someone for picking on a smaller kid, imagine what I would do if I had to defend myself.

Answer 4

I was bullied by a guy for a few days when I was a kid. I finally got tired of it and beat him up. I was surprised how easy it was and I thought he would get his brother to come after me. So I found the brother and beat him up too. Then I found the 3rd brother and as I was beating him up his Dad come out and pulled me off of him. They never picked on me again!

Answer 5

I was bullied often as a child, I just told my brother.
The best brother in the world, still.
