Poll: Did you ever bully someone?

[Chanel Tompkins]

Once. And it was more the both of us hazing each other really.

 

[Waaghpowa]

I barely talked to people, let along bully them.

 

[Saulkar]

I did not do it to hurt them, I was and still am too socially inept to realise when I am hurting someone and in the end it cannot be called anything but bullying.

 

[Section Crow]

I used to bully physically when people tempted my easily-angered younger self, now i am a pacifist who only bully's people if they give purpose for it with words.

And trust me, the latter in my opinion is much more satisfying as it doesn't involve nearly as much effort

 

[Terminate421]

I probably have. I just don't know it >.>.

Nice avatar.

yeah?! well youre...

oh wait you werent being sarcastic..thanks

but you have a point..alot of the time the whole "mob mentality" thing comes into play and you jsut kind of go along with it like "omg she's such a loner wierdo" and you might even rationalise it in your own mind as if its like they "choose" to be that way..or sotmhing

highschoolers are monsters

High schoolers?

Middle schoolers are by far the worst students I have ever had the displeasure of standing on the same soil as. They are the appitomy of evil.

Was never the bully, in fact I was the one bullied, I was a 6'6" student getting bullied....

I'm Australian so Im unfamiliar with the term (that said the fancy private catholic school I went to I think adopted "middle school" thing after I left)

generally years 1-7 is "primary school" and 8-12 is "highscool" people say year 9 is always the worst...for some reason

American, my bad.

Middle School is when you reach the age of 12 until you are 14. Essentially years 6-8.

They are god awful. Everyone's hormones are raging and sex and drugs are fired up all over the place. Not to mention is that everyone's intelligence drops like a rock. The worst part is that the teachers and adults don't even take you seriously since you are not an adult yet (Not by a couple years at least).

And don't get me started if other students assume your sexuality.....if someone even starts a rumor that you are gay, then you are fucked.

Apparently, I am a liar because I can honestly say that I have not bullied anybody in my entire life. I was too far down the social totem poll to have anybody to bully. The only people that I can say that I talked shit to on a regular basis were the people that bullied me (this only happened in high school) because they were doing everything possible to provoke me short of explicitly asking for a fist to the face.

 

[DANEgerous]

I suppose in a way, if being provoked time and time again would not negate me as a bully but typically I was a victim, rare cared that is was until physical provoked then I fought back it only happened 3 times but all major fist fight 2 I "won" due to a person taking my side another I just got annoyed with a person far bigger than my punching my face (once is enough)pulled out my knife an his next blow hit the tip my my blade seeing him into massive pain an my in to uproarious laughter.

 

[Spinozaad]

I think anyone who said no is probably outright lying to themselves.

Most people will have done something comparable to bullying to someone and probably never even known it. Even if it's just school yard jeering or calling someone an idiot. You have no idea what your words or actions might mean to someone else.

Absolutely this.

I have never systematically bullied someone (I was the victim of exclusion and bullying in primary school), but I have willfully and intentionally hurt people emotionally.

We all do, really.

 

[Rheinmetall]

Anyone saying no is lying.

How can you be so absolute about that?! I have never done something like that and I'm certainly not lying.

As far as you're concerned. I'm sure someone out there would consider something you've said or done to them to be bullying.

Theoretically yes, I can't exclude that possibility. I highly doubt it, but it may have happened, who knows. Still I think that bullying has the meaning of harrasing people on purpose, and not occur accidentally, or without our will.

 

[Tanner The Monotone]

Just wanting to know. I admit that I have. When I was a kid and didnt know all the consequences.

And I dont want you to judge someone that has ok. Keep it civilised.

Captcha: sonic screw driver...... hah, I wish I had one.

Does beating up the people that messed with me count?

 

[Zhukov]

No, but I stood by when my friends did it. I remember laughing on one occasion when they were picking on the fat kid, which is very nearly as bad.

 

[Zantos]

Kind of, well, I had a little brother. I don't think that counts as bullying, more just being brothers. Apart from that, I was always more the bullee than the bully, though I managed to keep that to a minimum.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Not intentionally, no. And if anyone has ever felt that they were being bullied by me, than I'm sorry.
