Bullies are pathetic creatures...then again, you better have a good reason of being afraid of a bully, else you're just as pathetic, if not more so, then them.

As for the verbal bullying...oh my god, haha, that's just hilarious. I live in CA. All the bullies are ghetto. Their English and Grammer is so bad, I'm practically halfway into tears of laughter by the time they're done. Honestly, if you're being bullied, then you're as much of a wimp as they are if you don't stand up to em. Verbal, Cyber, Physical, it doesn't matter. Get off your ass and do something about it, or forever be a whimp. No one else is gonna care. That's the sad truth of the world.

Verbal abuse bounces off me, and I can dish it back. Physical abuse I've never been through.

I don't see why people care so much about physical abuse.
Most people are like
"WOW DUDE UR DUCKING GAY SHUTUP UR DUCKING GAY" They aren't reall offensive if you ask me.
People just like to be ignorant like that

But it is estimated that almost a third of children experience bullying in their early secondary school years. [right][snapback]333031[/snapback][/right]
Hmm, the bullying actually stopped when I entered secondary school. Guess I'm lucky, since I haven't seen anyone in my grade get bullied since grade 9.

In Alberta I actually believe its illegal to bully, and you can get fined for it.

The thing about bullying is that it is sometimes a "grey" area. There's a point where people are just "fooling around" and then there is bullying. The "bully" may just be fooling around, but the person who is being bullyed is too quiet to voice their opinion.

In my opinion, insulting the damn bully back and standing your ground when they first start to bother you, puts them off.

This reminds me of a kid two grades lower than me. For some reason, he's terrified of me, thinking I'm going to beat him to pieces, which is quite far from the truth, seeing he can probably beat ME up if we get into a fight. Apparently, it's due to some of his initial impressions of me. I think my first words were something like "You screw up, we're going to beat you to pieces" in what IMO was a very joking tone. Of course, I was just fooling around but now, I get the feeling he thinks me of a big bully. Of course, the kid in question has almost nil self-confidence, and is scared of his own shadow, but still...

Of course, some people really need to grow a thicker skin. I can understand of some big guy is issuing death threats, but heck, insults don't exactly fall under the category of bullying to me. Jeez, if he insults you, insult him back. Don't go to a corner and cry.

I really don't think the issue of verbal bullying can be solved with fight fire with fire, it only leads to more trouble.

I say words can hurt.... But fists hurt more...
One thing bullies run the risk of is pissing off the wrong person who knows a lot of other pepole...
Or pissing off someone that has the capasity like the kids at the colimbine incident...
Of corse when someone bullies me verbaly day after day after day, I retaliate.
Insulting someone back just makes them insult you back and ect. intell it gets phisical... again not good...

Also bullies useualy live with one parent is my experience. They also are not the brightest bulb in the box. Or might be a few peas short of a cassarole. You get the picture. The bullie suffers overwhelming stress to fit in also. And to fit in he bullies pepole so he dossent look like a woose among his peers... Althogh im not a socialigist... I could be wrong. Also why do we define why bullies bullie in the first place? Its a very complex relationship indused by stress probobly from family matters.

So long as you keep your cool, trouble seems to fizzle away.

I'd have to agree. Then again, turning around and putting on the face of a deranged, psychotic lunatic capable of murdering babies without an ounce of guilt also seems to do the trick. Worked for me, anyway. (act out the part, don't follow through with the descriptions)

Anywho... Yo SpaceBoy. Long time no see.

People getting so upset about this is ridiculous the kids who are bullied are bullied for a reason verbal bullying anyway, I verbally bully a kid at school because he pisses me off to no end. He for like a month followed me around everywhere at first I was subtle about trying to get him to go away, then I just straight up told him, after that I just started bullying the hell out of him because he wouldn't go away.... I ended up making this kid cry, but it's not my fault, he is a pansy who needs to toughen up. Honestly I don't think bullying is just random I think it happens mostly for a reason... Parents just see their kids as perfect, thus it must be some other kids fault. If they would take a more neutral view and not just take the side of their kid or in the case of teachers the kid who comes out of it feeling bad, then they might realize that it's not just kids trying to feel better about themselves, it's kids who are sick of other kids... That's how I feel about it anyway, that is the only reason I bully this kid and thus I'm inclined to believe that's how other bullying goes... I don't know that for a fact though..

Reminds me of a kid I make fun of.
He just doesn't catch on to things fast enough.
I made fun of him, at times I did cross the lines too.
Bullying should be put to a stop though... it makes people go insane smile.gif

I know what you mean with crossing the lines, I've done it myself with this kid quite a few times although in my mind he deserves it for being such a pansy and not knowing when to get out of my space.. FallenDreamer the psychotic thing works very well hahaha I've used it before, sometimes you can even bring a sharp object to school if they don't buy your bull shiz and threaten them with it in a private place, trash the item later and deny any claims that you threatened them with it. Usually works with me because I'm white hahaha. Honestly though I think the teachers at our school are racist. Some of them are sexist that shiz pisses me off ranting.gif . I love you FallenDreamer you have like the exact situation as me, I go to the school which is known as "The Black School" around this area and we're so ghetto we'll have like some black guy come up to us and be like "african I'MMA BEAT YO ASS WITH THIS TRASH CAN LID IF YOU DON'T GET THE fark OUT MY WAY!!" Except it's much harder to tell what they say, so you have to be like "Excuse me could you repeat that?" a few times before you understand exactly what they're saying, I'm laughing right now just thinking about it. Dr. Shotgun I'm like that too verbal abuse doesn't really bother me, I just act crazy and say ranodm things that confuse them w00t.gif . They'll be like WTF? It's not even worth bullying you, you're too damn confusing, and the problem is solved lol.

Pfft, I've gotten into 4 fights in middle school for making fun of people.
But I mean, they are for insults like
"Block Head"
"Big Nose"
I didn't see people wanting to fight over something so stupid as that coming.

I crossed the line recently when I was in class and said to my black friend, "fark you niggger." I wasn't serious, but I said it in a serious tone. Not the 1st time me doing it. However, the white girl next to me got highly offended, and tried to tell the teacher. She didn't even realize that my friend was laughing about it. She just got offended cause of the word I used. Teacher didn't get mad or anything, he just told me to watch my language a little more when people are around you. I suppose he's right, but I still find it funny. I'm sorry. If you draw a stupid ass line, I'm gonna have lots of fun crossing it.

If the person you're saying it to doesn't care then I honestly believe no one else should try to get involved either, seems retarded to me... People don't mind their business these days lol..

What really makes me laugh is when someone is getting bullied and their spineless friends wont help them. It's pathetic.
