Poll: Have you ever bullied someone?

[Chemical Alia]

No, I don't think I have. I can't really fathom wanting to inflict cruelty on someone else for my own enjoyment. Ranting and expressing your dislike of someone is one thing, but bullying is downright shameful. I was on the receiving end while growing up, but I could never understand why people chose to be so nasty.

I had an... unpleasant experience with bullying up until my second year of High School. After that, everything has been fine for me in that regard. As for me doing it myself... I don't really think I have, though I will certainly admit that I have a tendency to force or influence situations to follow paths or outcomes that I desire. But... that isn't really bullying, is it?

I'm not a psychiatrist or anything, but I'm guessing that it's animal instinct in a way. Why do you think highschoolers are always being compared to animals? People will do whatever they can to be the top dog in their pack, even if it means being cruel to others. It doesn't mean we all enjoy it (sadly some do) but rather hate ourselves for later on in life. I hate myself everyday for the cruelty I showed to that girl I picked on.
