bullies treat others like crap because thats how they feel about themselves. I certiantly believe that you treat others how you yourself feel. I dealt with a lot of bullies from 7th-10th grade. But it really started to stop by the beginning of 10th grade. By 11th it was nonexistant, thankfully. Just love yourself and don't let them get to you mentally. once they have you mentally they won't relent from what I have seen. once you stoop to their level or once they get a reaction they will just go for more and more, for some its a power trip and they get some sick twisted pleasure over controlling someone else and causing more, more more! so no reaction is the best remedy..at least for me. my friend use to over react a lot. someone stole his drink and he screamed "where is my red f***ing powerade!" all the bullies loved it and it only provoked them to try and get more reactions.
I wish you the best. there has been some good advice of course!! and always feel free to drop me a line if you need to talk. sometimes, in all honesty, I found the forums a good refuge to talk to people. sometimes the ones you do not know who are detached from the situation and your life will give the best advice because it is typically free of bias.
In middle school, i tried to solve most of my promblems with violence, which worked sort of well, i was bigger and taller then most kids so it was at a point where they were afraid of me, but in a sense they also isolated me, as the "freaky giant kid who would beat them up if they said any shit" In high school, a place where i think you'll have less success with violence, best thing you can do is establish yourself in a group and hide/cling to that group. Like an alliance so you don't have to take shit, and don't have to care because you have your own group. Me i still use physical means to get my respect, but i'm a football player so it makes sense
kill them with kindness...they will move on when they are not getting the reaction they are looking for...it just breaks my heart when kids/people act as such...instead of embracing difference and/or diversity they push it away as if they want everyone/thing to be the same...sorry...keep your chin up!
I was an abused kid, i came from a bad home and was angry all the time. So i tended to bully other kids. These kids probably feel their life is shit so they have to make everyone else's shit too. I bet it's nothing personal against you. I was not only a bully but i was bullied to, school just tends to be one big hate pool and it's often a case of sink or swim. Life will get better mate, you wont remember those kids in a few years, but they'll remember you, if they grow up to be half decent people they'll look back and cringe at their antics, I know I do.
Firstly, you are standing up for yourself, so congratulations on that, mate. Secondly, if you don't indulge in that sort of bull-shit yourself, then you are also the moral victor in that situation - to keep your head raised because you are better than them. Believe me, Captain Zeep is right - school don't mean shit, and what goes around, comes around. Back in the days when I were a young lad, I had to put up with bullies making a fool of me and I still see some of them wandering about the town with their beer bellies bulging in front of them, as they trudge down the road to the pub. The last laugh will be yours, my friend - and oh, how you WILL laugh. However, no doubt like all of us who were bullied, right now that is scant comfort. My practical advice is, firstly, learn some martial arts - not so you can get ninja on their arse, that would just make you a bully - but because nothing makes you feel better about yourself than learning the self-discipline, body control and the ability to do something those zeroes can't. It's daunting - but I really think you'd get more out of it than you do the school. I did when I learned it. Next - keep in touch with us here - looks like some good folks already posted excellent advice, and it'll keep you in touch with a wider world. Finally, for the moment, just keep in mind that as I said before - you are better than them. Chin up, mate warmest regards dave
The world is a cruel place. Where every tear is absorbed into a wine glass and the recipient gladly drinks from his own wine glass. Where we are all vulnerablised by dark forces in Number 10, where we feel so helpless. Yeh, i have been abused when I was a kid. My bloody mother is still a bitch, I rarely see her but lately she has been allowed to stay in my flat. This is due to her bungalow having a heating problem. once it is solved, I will kick the cow out. All she does is sit about all day, giving orders.My old man is in Turkey somewhere for three months. Hope he don't come back to soon. I have bullied kids before. I have hung about school yards targetting small helpless five to eight year olds. Just name calling and tying girls hair around a lamp post and then parade about like a goon. But I have been bullied so can say i have been on both sides of the coin. I now have a better understanding,though I am bitterly depressed. Suicide is on my mind and am thinking of where and how. I have given my life an ultimatum and will probably put a date in of 20/04/07 when I self terminate. Chin up, don't let the demons fuck you around. Feel the strength, and if you have anybody, you can confide in them. Sometimes inviting mum for a while is healthy. Nothing like Mother love.
heres my advice...take some steroids work out for a year, HARD then load up on pcp and take on the whole bully group at once XD lol jk (it would actually work tho LOL i just dont recomend it)
