how where you bullied

[Ih8pkmn]

A better question would be how AM I bullied. The answer: Constantly. People mock me for everything from the way my voice sounds to what clothes I wear and I'm fucking sick of it.I'm the scapegoat's scapegoat. 6th grade was especially hellish; Once, I got pinned down while someone forced me to eat a glue stick. They only got suspended.This was in 6th. fucking. grade.

I've been called every nasty name there is, and then some. I've been called gay, emo, a snitch, and even the N word(and I'm white. WTF!). I've been punched, kicked, and have had my nose almost broken. And in the 7th grade, some stupid ***** decided it would be funny to go and stick my bicycle in a tree!(Don't ask how that happened). It got so bad, my parents considered sending me to a private school about 60 miles away.

Is it any wonder I'm anti-social?

I was never bullied really. It was more like teasing. When I was in the third and fourth grade I got bullied verbally. Nothing really bad. Same thing in the 7th grade but after that I had so many friends that no-one really bothered. Now I'm in "lukio"(which is like high school here in Finland I guess) and there are a couple of idiots that sometimes say something but I usually counter their stupi arguments. I also have a lot of friends and it helps. Sometimes it really hurts when someone says something bad about me but I just try ignore them and concentrate to the fact I have a lot of people that care about me.

I was a twerpy little kid with quite a bit of ego and nothing to back it up. Generally got made fun of for hair, clothes, nationality and so forth.
As a consequence, I spent a lot of my time on escapist hobbies like reading and learned to fucking spell.

Hmm... I was not really bullied, some people did mess with me in High School, I got into 3 fights in High School, I took a few hits, gave a few hits and spend a total of 145Hours in detention (yay me). I regret all of it, nowadays I do my best to avoid fights and I try to be nice to everyone because I was kind of a dick in High School.

Good to see Escapists have more feelings than the dicks I went to school with.

 

[Gitty101]

Never been bullied myself. Seems everybody just likes me ^^

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I put a post about my worst bullying experience on a different thread and I cba writing it again in proper detail or digging that one up, so:

1) Guy outed me after abandoning me and my friends to be 'popular'
2) Different guy pretended to like me for several months only to get me to a secluded place where he and his friends beat me into unconsciousness and left me there

there was also the time on my birthday everyone decided to ignore me. whenever i'd apprach them they'd immediately run somewhere else. even teachers did it. when i tried to enter a lesson they'd tell me to go away and slam the door on me.

I was never bullied even by S1 i was bigger than six foot and part of the rugby team. At my high school the only bullies i was aware of were not big guys and tended to pick on small people.
Though a cousin of one of my mates did get bullied a lot and eventually one of the bullies de-kegged her. So me and my mates waited around after school and told the bully that if he ever tried something like that again we would beat the ever loving shit out of him.

I am an Indian/Pakistani Muslim who went to a high school that was literally 91.6% white (middle school wasnt as much) and most of them were hardcore right wing Catholic conservative pricks. One of the worst things to happen was this rich kid made a huge banner depicting a Muslim terrorist stereotype only with my yearbook picture as the face (he was on the yearbook team so he had access) and people signed it and added more comments that praised it. AND nobody removed the damn thing till the Christmas holidays.
Let's see what else...oh yeah! I got beat up a few times and was even left on the sidewalk bleeding by some of these assholes and had to go to the hospital, got stuff thrown at me, offensive graffiti on the outside of my house, my dad's car getting tagged, pushed down the stairs, not being allowed in a certain store, dangerous things getting hidden in my locker to make me look like a real terrorist, and a few other things that I can't recall at this time. The odd thing is that I've heard about Muslim kids in other states who had it way worse, I can't imagine what they had to go through...but of course it never got on the news since it's about Muslims.

More like self-wallowing binge than having feelings. "Ooh I have been bullied, woe is me. Life is so unfair".

People get bullied because they don't have the balls to defend themselves, or aren't savyy enough to play the social game. You aren't being tooled when you are part of the winner crowd.

Because of my autism, my entire elementry school hated me, kids AND teachers. The kids beat me up pretty much every day, ostracized me socially, and would do such things as smash my head down on the playground so hard my front teeth got knocked out. The teachers would pick on me and tell me that I was worthless. Admittedly I deserved some of it because of my inability to control myself, but still...

The kids were better in middle school aside from one asshole who tried to convert me to Christianity and began abusing me when I refused. (he's the primary reason I hate Christians, in case you were wondering) However, my sixth grade teacher molested me as a punishment, which my parents didn't believe when I tried to tell them. They still don't, though I have come to the conclusion that I really deserved it, so it doesn't hurt as bad when I remember it.

I wasn't bullied much in high school because midway through my freshman year I was put in a mental hospital to get my paranoid tendencies straightened out through use of anti-psychotics. It worked, but nobody really noticed me when I returned to school and I had to spend the next few years without friends due to my lack of ability to understand social situations.

That's not bullying, but criminal harassment. You or your parents had sufficient grounds to go to the police, and even sue the school, for their neglect and their failure to protect you.

I was mostly bullied emotionally. Ive always been a really shy kid, which is why I never got (or get out)much. This lead to me getting overweight and the bullies had a field day with this for about 5 years. That is until one day in middle school I went after a kid in gym and the teachers had to pull me off him. Because the entire school knew that I was targer #1 for bullies they saw this coming and i really didnt get in much trouble. They all stopped after that, it was either that or the fact that I became the largest kid in my class.

Maybe so, but my parents didn't really care because they thought it would be better if I learned to "deal with it myself" or something along those lines. What bothers me is when I tried to defend myself, or tried to stop the bullying my younger sister was going through, they would ground me. It got to the point where I attempted suicide several times. But I'm okay now, because once I accepted my own worthlessness it because a lot easier to admit that I deserved a lot of the crap that happened to me.

No one deserves to be treated like that, dude. You've been shafted by the people who have been entrusted to protect you. I've been through that (although I do not suffer from autism), from both school and parents.

I'd strongly suggest to find a caretaker, someone you can trust and open up, and tell him or her everything, and ask that person to help you. What you need most, right now, is to find someone you can trust, and there are people like that, I can assure you.

Well, I was shown a picture of me being tied to a tree, with a shotgun shoved against my back.

Then, teachers began emotionally abusing me. Screaming at me, insulting me, locking me in an isolated room for hours on end, denying me lunch and not letting me go home when everyone else did.

Bro tip: pick up nearest telephone now and dial 911

Would have helped if the police weren't incompetent and weren't on their side.

use state police to prosecute local police?

It was years ago, so I honestly don't care anymore what goes on in this town. The police are known all over to be incompetent lunks, so most people take justice into their own hands.

 

[ChippedShoulder]

Not really bullied. There were a couple of incidents of name-calling but they stopped pretty quickly when they realised all they would get is a laugh in the face. Apparently they didn't realise their 'insults' were piss-your-pants funny. "Fucktard" how original. Of course, being in secondary school now and being among the weirdest people in my year you would think I get bullied now but, no. I'm so lucky to be in the best year in a school with one of the lowest bullying rates in the UK. That and my ability to self-deprecate beyond the resistance of any mortal man

I was never really bullied.


There was this obnoxious tough kid in class in elementary school, but he picked on everyone he didn't like, including me. I just ignored it and moved on, so it didn't affect me too much, if at all.

Sure I keep quiet and am docile and obedient at all time at school, but I'm pretty good at making the class laugh with witty comments I throw out there every once and a while, so I'm generally quite liked.

 

[aPod]

I'm not sure how that could be true. Also, sometimes they'd take my stuff, mainly assignments and things like paper and pencils. Would leave me unprepared for class and I'd have to ask people for paper or a pencil. Most of the time when I'd try to tell a teacher there would be not enough proof to make anything stick. My graphing calculator was stolen, for example, and I never found out who did it. There was also that damn, pesky verbal bullying, but not a whole lot of anything really physical.

My point is that they make you feel like you don't belong because unlike them you are not another Jersey Shore douchebag. You're an interesting person. I'm not defending them, i'm defending you. Being different can make you an outcast but being different makes you interesting.

...in elementary school I would occasionally get things knocked out of my hands while walking home. I developed a reputation for kicking in the groin in retaliation. When they started anticipating that, I started building a reputation for punching in the throat. When they came in numbers, I got a reputation for carrying large knives and making convincing death threats. The bullying stopped shortly before I made it to high school.
