Confessions of a bully

[Danik93]

When I lurked my way through the thread about the kid who got stabbed and that made me think about bullying.
I think I'm a minority here because I have never ever been bullied or anything remotely close.
I have actually been accused of being a bully.
Before you attack me please hear me out on this.
We where a gang of some guys in junior high and we where always saying things that someone not a part of a gang would take it as an insult.
Basically being a sarcastic prick against each other.
Anyway, there was this guy who started to stand near us and showing interest in hanging out with us.
So one day we asked him if he would like to hang out and he said yes.
He was totally in on the sarcastic part of our little "gang" taking it to far to often if you ask me. Then one day I got called out in the corridor by my teacher and there he sat and looked kinda sad.
I asked why he was sad, and he said that it was that he was offended by our comments.
I replied with that he treated us like we treated him and after some debate the school said that his accusation was false and I was free to go.
So, what do you think about this? I would also like to hear some of your bully stories.

As long as you never actually meant what you said and you do it to other people, it wasn't bullying, it was having a giggle.

Anyway, I don't particularly bully people. I have a reputation of liking everyone to the point I can't dislike people.
That said, I'm prone to the odd ***** behind someone's back. I don't know if that's bullying or just being a bit of a dick, but I do it anyway.

Wait...not being bullied is the minority?

Yes. Finally, the nerds rule the world (read: interwebz).

Ask around, ask the people you know. You will find that near everyone will say that they where bullied as a child.
Make of that what you will.
No, something cannot be right here.

Well, as long as you guys were just being sarcastic to people I see no problems. Because honestly, what junior high kid isn't an annoying little (insert vulgarity here) head? Though I personally have very little experience with bullys, mainly because if you bully anybody in my school YOU get trolled by the rest of the community. It's awesome ^_^

There's a lot of bitter bully victims on the escapist. Moviebob+ various threads. (the have every right to be) I was never bullied. I can get along with almost anyone. Even people I don't like.

You don't sound like a bully. Everyone is a bit mean at some point during their childhood, myself included. Kids are fucked up =P
