Well, OK, maybe not kill them, but do so really bad damage to them. You have no idea how much trauma they've caused in my life. I still see a couple around in my 'hood, so I can identify them. They better pray that I don't come across a broken glass bottle. Even if it's broken that bottle can still be of good use. mad


maybe if u met them now, years on, they'd be full of remorse. People do change.


No they don't...thats just some crap psycho terrorits say to make you feel better. People DON'T change...ever.

Well now that you are older and stronger would it not be bullying to do that to them? It's not the way, especially after so many years!

I have to agree with the OP, bullies should be taken out and shot. It's something you never get over and does effect you thrpugh life.

I don't wanna hear crap about bullies being children, they DO know better at that age...they simply CHOOSE to act the way they do. As such they are responsible and should suffer the consequences.

If i had absolute power i would seek revenge on all those who have done me wrong.


screw that. i just lived a free, happy life while they're still living miserable, small lives in the same dirtball town they've lived in all their lives, married to the same people they were screwing in 9th grade, with screaming brats and everyone in town knowing their business.

sucks to be them. whistling

sometimes time brings its own revenge. that's all that matters to me. evillol

I was never bullied, but I felt bad for the kids who were so I would try and step up for them. But I couldnt do too much of that. I was so little neutral

I was a bit, but not to bad. I'm still pissed at the ones that did bully me though.
But what's worse, my kid is getting bullied at school.
Last week one boy cut a piece of his hair mad

The badest thing about it though is the fact that the kid that did it, is being bullied even worse than my son. He just took out his frustration on him.

I don't know what I can do other than support my boy and let him know it's not ok that he's being bullied. confused

Yup.

By a girl named Bobbi Jo Rogers when I was about 16.

She just moved here from Akron Ohio, which she used to always say to us to scare us. She used to wear gang colors and shit and say she was gonna fuckin kill us.

Well, one of my BEST guy friends and I who used to be together like every day, she liked. He didn't like her back and she took it out on me.

If she say me at the basket ball court (where we used to hang out) she'd throw big ass rock at me and say you better run or I'm gonna fuclink cut you.

(I believed her)

One day she hit me in the face with a dog chain from behind. She like whipped it at me.

(Did I add that she was PREGNANT)

Well, one nite I was walking with a bunch of friends, and all of a sudden outta no where I got sucker punched in the face and pulled by the hair onto the ground. She kicked the shit outta me, I had to get stitches in my mouth n all.

The stupid bitch did it rite in front of the police station. Well, like a block away.....so you know where I went from there.....


eek I'm so sorry, that is a horrible thing to endure.

I also fear for the baby she will have to raise with all that anger inside. sad

My oldest brother used to bully me like mad.

WE WERE STOMP OUT FIGHTIN!

I can look back on it and laugh some of it. But we were dead serious.

He'd hit me, I'd throw all kinds of objects, shoes, textbooks, VHS tapes.

He told me I should be a baseball player because my aim was so good.

My other other brother used to throw HOT WATER on us!

It was madness in suburbia!

You know what, I think this thread was created simply out of anger. I was reminiscing about school today and how fucking horrible it was. Yeah, I had a few friends along the way and stuff and there were some nice moments. But living in the 'hood in Harlem in the 90's was just rough. I had moments where I just cried. I cried because I kept having to deal with the fact that I had to wake up everyday and deal with these stupid ass n***az. My Mother more often than not had to come up to the various schools and defend me. And yes, that helped. But I just wanted to be in an enviornment of peace and good education.


When I was younger I had this one thought that may sound controversial to some of you. But this is what I was just feeling at the time. I thought maybe if I went to a school of predominantly white or upper middle class kids, I probably would'nt have dealt with such violence. But I'm pretty sure that's not true. Violence exists everywhere in any school made up of people of all colors.

My older sisters used to "mentally" bully me....since they wanted a little sister instead of a brother, I was usually the canvas for dress up day....I got my respect from them only after fighting each of them individually at different stages of growing up....

...In school, since I was pretty much smaller than most of my classmates, I got picked on....standard stuff- name calling, random punches....but it ceased when I got into a particularly vicious fight with a couple of my tormentors...I'd love to say that I won the fight, but suffice to say that it was real easy to see that the three of us had been in a knock down, drag out kind of affair....which let folks know that if they came my way with it that I had no qualms about fighting and cared less about winning or losing.....that kind of laissez faire attitude gives folks pause to messing with you...and its an attitude that I still carry to this day.....

I wouldn't say EVER, but in most cases thats a true statement.....
bullies don't see what they did as wrong, regardless of how truly horrible they were being....they justify it as "kids being kids"....but I've found, especially since being in the service, that the best way to shut a bully down is to put them in situations that they can't dominate.....

Oh and another thing. I'm not saying that it was a good thing that those kids out in Columbine high school went on that rampage back in 1999. But I think I can understand where they were coming from. They were social outcasts who had to deal with humiliation and torment from other peers. Well, at the same time they were also a bunch of crazy weirdos who had their own cult. lol But they had a hard time being accepted.

But in no way do I endorse loading up the AK's and going on a massacre. disbelief

I'm an eye for an eye kinda guy, but without the power to do anything...if you know what i mean. People all too often label these Columbine type incidents as the kid being an outcast or anti social etc., but that is too simple...they act out and get noticed by shooting up a classroom.

It's part revenge part desperation to be noticed, it's sad...we as a society are to blame, for the gun maker to the kid who shoots on down the line.

me too incessantly from 5th grade to 8th grade. It made me suicidal at age 11, how's that for a phucked up life and I went to a pricey catholic school with "good rich kids"

yeah
went to high school with the "ghetto kids" and was treated so much better, of course I also had learned to take no shit by then and learned to love myself for you I was.

you all DO realize that the only reason kids get bullied is because other kids are uncomfortable with anyone who looks or acts different or is in any way special or unique.

in other words, if you were bullied as a child, you must have been a boring ass kid.

I totally got bullied.

I was a nerd, valedictorian. I was teacher's pet (without really meaning to be), I was more of a sissy than I was now. My best friend was white. My latino classmates hated that. I hated them for that. I listened to rock music as well as everything else.

Mind you this is only elementary school.

speaking of elementary school, i honestly didn't give any of the other kids the chance to bully me if they wanted to. i was one of the little hellraisers in my class, so i'd be in the principal's office a lot.

That is NOT true Anx...thats some BS that has been spurted for years, the fact is people/bullies pick on whomever they perceive to be weaker then them...they do it for pleasure and kicks.

I certainly remember my clas bully laughing as he hit me with a geography book, people who are bullied try to act invisible...to avoid being bullied.

The bullies go seek them out, it is planned and relentless.

That's pretty much my experience as well. It was downright vicious sometimes. I'm surprised neither of us were ever more seriously hurt looking back.

People commit acts of violence because they want to, not out of fear. You'll see in Iraq people killing people everyday for no reason at all.

Bullying is born from the fear of the victim, the person being bullied...his/her fear feeds the bullies violet actions.

I think not having a father around to teach me about manhood and defending myself against bullies played a part in my problem. I mean, my mother had to paly both the parent's roles and it wasn't easy.

Also, I came up at a time where Gangsta Rap and the negative aspects of Hip-Hop were popular. And since music and pop culture influences children the most, it was something reflective of the attitudes of the students.

The whole attitude that fellas had to posess was being tough and macho. Any sign of wimpery was grounds for a beatdown. Unfortunately, for someone like me who looked up to Prince, I couldn't quite fit in that easily.
