View Full Version : being bullied
sorry i just had to write something about children that are bullied.
last night i was reading the story of a couple whos child killed themselves because they were bullied at school and the heartbreak it has caused.plus the stories over the past few weeks of youngsters killing themselves.
i really think the schools can do more,they just dont seem to care.they must think that its just a bit of fun,nothing to worry about,that is why so many bullies get away with it.
i was bullied from the age of 14 till i left school,im nearly 32 and it does have an effect on me still.whatever i did could start them off ,if i joined in a conversation that was wrong,if i didnt that started them off,the physical bullying wasnt so much of a problem,thats why im angry with teachers because they hit me in front of them and they did nothing about it just said that the girls were having a few problems at home ,so that makes sense hit someone else. it was the mental bullying which is the worst.being physically sick every morning,i wouldnt wish it on anyone,so i can really understand what these poor kids are going through,and why they do what they do.
there was a good thing on the tele the other day which said in america when they start to bully they get a week of staying behind after school,then if they continue,a week off school,and after that they are chucked out of school.
i thought things might have changed for the better now but i might be wrong.
sorry but i just had to say something.
I don't think teachers do enough either. My teachers just used to get the lad and tell him off, which is only going to make him want to get me more. You know what I *really* wanted when I was getting bullied? I wanted to be sat down, alone in a room, with the lad in question, and talk properly.
Not that we have to sit and try and be 'friends', cos that's stupid, but where he actually *says* what the hell it is about me that gets up his nose. And where I say exactly how awful you feel when no-one will stick up for you. Either way, you don't have to treat each other like friends, but you do have to acknowledge that you're bullying a human being. It could be a really hurtful experience but in comparison with the bullying it'd be a cakewalk. Both would have a chance to actually vent frustration, but in a productive way.
Of course, that could totally backfire cos you can imagine the bully gleaning all kinds of material for future torture from it, but I'm just saying what I wanted at the time.
A friend of mine used to be a really bad bully, but it was the usual story of awful stuff happening in the background, she had really bad depression issues. I didn't know her then, but it is really weird to think I hang around with a person who used to seriously make someone's life hell, someone like me.
oh, I think bullies are scum. I got bullied practically by about every year in school by some person. I was never a social outcast or anything, in fact I was quite popular, but someone always felt the urge to put me down badly. Just one day I realised that they're not gonna stop if you tell the teacher, or sulk away or something. What I did back then was being totally aggressive towards that person, just made him feel like I could explode every other second. And as they knew I'm a lil psychopath anyway, I think they came to the conclusion it's better to let it drop.
Fight back, that's always the key. Teachers do a bad job in telling kids to be nice to one another. Some kids will NEVER be nice, so the only way is to be horrible back. I wish I had known that. It worked once, when I slapped this lad in the face and he was never horrible again, it was like magic. wish I'd done that more!

That doesn't always work though, what if the person is much harder than you and can beat the shit out of you? I think that whenever possible you should give as good as you get, but if you escalate mental bullying to a physical level that might just make it worse.
I think bullying is obviously horrible and has a terrible effect on people lives ( looks at Screaming Icon :( ) , but I don't really see what can be done about it. Kids can just be really cruel. I think every school has its bullies and people who get bullied, I don't think there will ever be a workable solution to stop it, unfortunately it's just part of growing up and all you can do is look forward to leaving school and putting those people behind you.
Yeah, I think I agree with your points, Pimpf (why do I always agree with your points?). It helped that I was a girl and he was a boy, and I've never had physical bullying. But I did mean fight back in terms of verbal bullying too - I'm no good at slanging matches but just making that person realise you're no pushover sometimes I think can really help.
But there is no ultimate solution, it's horrible. *hugs fellow victims*

:rolleyes: God, sorry.
I was bullied at Primary school my some little shit. One day I had just had enough so I hit him. He never bothered me again :)
I know schools should do more to help, but I find it worrying that the parents (those who know what their child is going through) seem happy to let the child get on the bus with a bunch of fuckwits.
If it was my child I would arrange (or do it myself) for someone to drop the kid off at school and return him each day. If it happens in school too then I'd pressure the school into keeping the bullies and my kid apart. If they don't then I'd change his school. If that dosn't work then move house.
Some might say that its 'easier said than done'. Thats just an excuse.
When i was 14, there was a group of lads in my school who 'bullied' me and my mate, and one day my mate was having none of it and knocked this shithead unconcious and got suspended, and when he explained it was down to bullying , the school did fuck all. So my mate who retaliated for the first time in years of being bullied got suspended, and he knew if he layed another finger on this person he would get kicked out. Fantastic.
Schoolkids piss me off (a minority of them), I was driving passed a school nearby on monday and these 4 foot tall lads started spitting on the car, charming i thought.

That's awful, Screaming Icon. :eek: What little shits.
The most i've had is stupid comments but since my school is neds vs everyone else then everyone who is not a ned gets that. They think their being really clever aswell. It's actually pretty funny because their so retarded...the best comment they can come up with is "eh are you a pure mosher their pure jakes" or "how come you dont like blazin squad your pure weird" HAHAHA. I'd rather jump off a cliff than be a mosher. And as for the last one, LMAO.
Reading what Screaming Icon has gone through has really put what I went through into perspective as well, that is vile. I can't say I ever wanted to sit and talk it out, I just wanted them to suffer intense physical pain at the time. You're told that what goes around, comes around but that never happens in real life.

:up: ...i agree
Although my bullying wasn't as bad as Screaming Icon's (*hugs*)
it still made me hate about 10 years of my life...:(..and i thought that when i left school everything would be ok....:rolleyes:
sorry to hear about everyone's past bullying experiences...especially Screaming Icon...that's just awful:( I used to think my time of being bullied was bad but I guess it wasn't much in comparison..i had obscure curly hair and was quite fat so got called names n stuff, then when i started to get into more rock music an all that i'd be called mosher and whatever names they'd come up with. thankfully i've never really been subject to much physical abuse. There's been times when things have got rough but i've just walked away or just stood there and taken it. I never told teachers or owt and I think that got me a slight respect from some of the bullies. Nearer the end of school people just started to ignore me rather than bully me...although i did get hails of abuse off little kids from lower years, nothing that bad though.
Although I read those things about the kids killing themselves aswell and it just fills me with rage...i know there's no solution to bullying and i know the teachers don't do enough but to be fair i don't think the teachers have enough freedom these days, the kids have too many rights. In the near past i'd usually say bring back the cane, but I guess violence breeds more violence on different levels...but I do think there should be a form of punishment that is more extreme than detention (oooh scary:rolleyes: ) or being expelled (i.e. free time off school). The cane as a last resort would be a good idea in my eyes. When I was a kid I'd be scared of being told off by the teachers...that fear made me behave, so the fear of a higer form of punishment would have made me petrified:eek: ...maybe I'm just a wimp;)

aw Livvi *hugs*
I got bullied for years at school.... it wasnt physical very often, so I had no proof of it, so the teachers couldnt be bothered to do anything. Everyday, i would go to school, and these girls would yell loads of abuse at me, tie my hair to the seats of the bus, steal my school work so i always got detention for not doing it. I got phone calls every night with people saying that they were going to kill me and loads of prank calls. I hated years and years of my life, and at some points, I really thought being dead would be better than living the life I was living. Then, I really started to change. Because of the way Id been treated, I started to rebel against everything. I turned gothic, and that just made the bullying worse, but the thing was at this point, i really didnt care. I wasnt the little nervous girl I was before. I had found myself and was comfortable with the way I looked, and the person I was. After that, when they said something to me, I would just answer them back. I stood up for myself. When they realised that their snide remarks werent affecting me anymore, they stopped. When they couldnt hurt me, the fun had gone for them. Nowadays, im actually grateful to those idiots that bullied me, because they made me a much stronger person.
I Don't really add much comments but i want to add my two cents as i feel strongly about this. When i was 11 years old i had a lot of friends but i had a stupid argument(like you do when you're a kid) with one and because of that i lfell out with every friend i had except for one who i had known since i was 5. He was my best friend and when we went to secondary school he was like 'dont go off on your own. we should stick together'. Two days later im walking down the corridor and i see him with a bunch of kids , laughing and chatting and i go 'hey' to him. he ignores me and one of the lads with him goes 'who the fuck is him?' and my so-called best friend 'oh, he's a fucking twat who i knew from primary school and he has no friends!' and they all laughed at me.
From that day on the bullied me so much that i would spend a lot of my time in the library. i used to hate going down stairs cuz they would allways try and push me off balance. they would trip me up in corridors, laugh at me whenever i messed up in P.E and steal my clothes in the locker rooms. The teachers were no worse, i tried telling them and for a second i thought they were going to be punished, they were all lined in the my year tutors office but they managed to sweet talk their way out of it(we were only joking miss!!). when i got out the office they all cornered me outside skool saying how much of a cry-baby i was.
There were three things that made it horrible, one is that i felt i had no one to go to, one day i got home and i was crying in my room, my dad walks past the hallway looks at me and walks away with out saying anything, two was that i actually let their taunts get at me and knaw at my allready low self-esteem, because of them i felt worthless and repulsive and i was an emotional wreck. The third thing that pissed me off was the attitude of their parents, i overhead a teacher talking to the parents of one paticular twat and the parents were like 'boys will be boys, what can i do about it. so dont complain to me about my son acting how many kids act'.
The funny thing is that to the bullies what they done to me they would probably have forgotten about but to me i still live with the effects however my experiences with being bullied has made me who i am today, i dont take shit from anyone anymore and in a way im glad it happened(but not in such a way that i would shake their hands and say 'well done, i needed a good kicking, i was such a fucking weakling'). It pisses me off to see that it's going on unchecked in england.(where i used to live) Over here where i live in canada they're slowly starting to take bullying seriously and they're even taking some bullies to court. whether that's too harsh or not is definately an issue, but to me it's sending out the right message.(i apologise for the length but i wanted to get it all off my chest)
I hate the whole idea of bullying with a passion, and I'm sick and tired of teachers dancing around the subject trying to pretend it isn't there. A lot of children get a rough deal handed to them at school, and virtually nothing is done about it. I would like the government to take note of the recent news developments [i.e. the nine-year-old girl saying bullies made her want to die, and the little boy who killed himself] and make the schools take some action. No child should have to put up with it, and it needs sorting for their sake.

*eep* this is all so upsetting! bullies are *efil* people and those they attack are really the most loveliest of people...they're just sometimes a little quiet or different...
my sister carly was bullied rather badly when she was younger for being 'fat'...but she's turned that around and calls herself FatC (her 'rap' name) and the bullies got bored...hehe!
however, bullying is much MUCH worse when you are at university and you have to live with it all the time...yes you are more equiped to deal with stuff but it's still nasty having to listen to someone picking huge holes in you constantly....but i know in my heart of hearts that she has more cellulite than me....;)
and that makes me feel good :)

All I can do is echo resounding sympathy and add my name to the ever-growing list of people who've been bullied. I guess its not surprising how many have as its a Manics forum but its still quite shocking how many have been. There's no easy solution to bullying, it will probably be around forever in one form or another. All we can hope is that teachers and parents will keep on getting more aware and be supportive and proactive.

I was bullied at Primary school, by literally 90% of my year and about 40% of the rest, by the end I had only one friend in the entire city. I do agree you should stand up for yourself and I did on occasion, but I always came off the worse for it. It was normally only verbal and mental, but it sometimes escalated to the physical. bY the end I was missing many days off school (it didn't matter, it was a shit school, I wasn't learning anything and so I had a private tutor). my brother got it as bad a couple of years later and on his last report card he had something like 30 appearances, 60 unexplained absences. I know it has made me the person i am today, I'm not sure if that's a good thing, if it happened I might well be totally big headed, on the other hand I'd certainly have better self esteem. for that period in my life, I felt like time wasn't passing, i wasn't living, merely conscious.

*HUGS* too
I think the transition from junior school to senior school was possibly the worst experience for me. I wasn't allowed to follow my friends to a certain 'rougher' Secondary school in my local area, so I had to make friends from the people who were knew my old friends but didnt really know me as a person or the suffering that I had personally endured.
So by Yr7 and 8 it was probably at its worst. This girl called Hazel well she was really intelligent and stuff and had a fairly 'normal' homelife, unlike me (not asking for pity). When they saw my mum around and stuff they'd call her a 'witch' cos of her physical appearance. She got down to about 5 stone when she reached her 40s and she was about 5ft10. One girl said to me one time about 'oh I saw your mum on your roof the over day, you do have a weather vein?' She was implying she was a witch again.
Then I believe my surname is still the brunt of most peoples jokes and it was unbearable at school. I used to get all the honeymonster jokes and suchlike. Then one day things just got really out of hand Hazel had turned all my friends against me. She claimed she liked the reaction she got off me when I got angry or upset. She said she was my friend and would come round for me every morning at 8am to school. But when we got to school..well it was a different ball game. I used to come home covered in ink. Permanent blank ink on a white shirt. I had my property stolen off me, and I wasnt allowed to have it back. One girl Laura used to swing me around and try to physically hurt me.
So the ages between 13 and 14 life was pretty much a nightmare both at home and at school. I believe it has made me the way I am now..10 yrs on..I'm still introverted. I still get jokes about 'why are you bothering to do a pointless geography degree?' and everyone hates the way I am 'different'
I think there has been a lot of press in recent years about incidences of kids being bullied. Unfortunately I dont know of any school that has tackled these issues correctly. Telling the bully off isnt the right stance...in fact it usually makes things 10x worse. I remember the sad story of the girl from the Salvation Army who had a larger body frame to her friends and killed herself cos she couldnt tolerate the bullying.
Moving school cos of bullies is injustifiable. I mean why should you have to? Not only does that screw up your academic chances but it screws you up emotionally especially if you dont fit in :rolleyes:
Unfortunately as you grow older there are still people who enjoy taking it out on people..you become like a 'victim' in the end and thats definitely not the right thing to do. All you can do is ignore them or report them...

It's years now since I was at school and was bullied, but you realise eventually that in general people who were bullied turn out to be pretty cool, sensitive people and bullies grow up to be crashing bores. Tell me I'm wrong!

Hi all
Hope everyone is ok.
When i hear about children who kill themselves due to bullying it just breaks my heart hearing about it no child deserves it just cos there is something that someone does not like about there appearence or anything else a sick and evil bully thinks is wrong with them my heart goes out to all the family and to all those with children who are being bullied i have been there and put up with it since the age of four and even to this day at the age of 21 the scars are still there.
Bullys should realise that we are all the same we re weather we have a disability or not we are all still human and we all have feelings well except for the scum that choose to hurt and torment innocent children they have no heart whatsoever.
Take care all

I thought I'd put this here rather than start a new thread.
"It looks like Eminem's finally planning to stand up to his old schoolyard tormentor--in court. Slim Shady wants a Michigan judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a playground peer who allegedly taunted and terrorized the then-prepubescent hip-hopster back when the two were in grade school.
Eminem, born Marshall Mathers III, is expected to appear in Macomb County Circuit Court before Judge Deborah Servitto on August 18 to ask her to toss the suit filed in 2001 by DeAngelo Bailey. Bailey's seeking $1 million for the injury he claims to have sustained to his reputation when the 30-year-old rapper trashed him as an inveterate bully in the track "Brain Damage."
Bailey, who now works as a sanitation worker in Roseville, asserts that the stinging refrains in "Brain Damage" have also damaged his chances to switch careers and become a big-time Grammy-winning rap superstar just like Eminem. "
I think Mr DeAngelo has probably had his one taste of musical fame in that song - and since when did being "dissed" stop the success of a rapper? I thought it was obligatory ;)
This man is just bitter because the kid who's life he made a misery at school has got the ultimate revenge - success. I don't care much for Eminem's muisc but If the facts as reported are true, I'm right with him on this one.
I hope DeAngelo doesn't get a dime.

Grrrrrrrr, I hate bullies :mad: .
I was bullied for a couple of years at gymnastics, I still have no idea why :( :confused: .
I was bullied off and on for about 7 years. Even when I was 18. It was pretty humiliating.
What I learnt in those years though was that success and intelligence are the only ways to get revenge. Sure, they could take the piss out of me for my crap music and silly clothes, but when we were sat in a sociology or english lecture and they had no imput whatsoever, whereas I could offer coherant answers to questions, I felt so much bigger than them and it was amazing. Of course, the ultimate revenge was waving bye bye to them when I got my results and headed off to uni. Their one D didn't seem so funny once they were packing shleves in Somerfield.
However, I've realised that having books thrown at me for playing Catatonia in a common room or being called a swot when I was 11 is nothing compared to what a lot of people have been through. Perspective is an important thing and everyone on here has my sympathy.

at my school the "society" that we all seem to live in is very mixed.
The most popular ones are the "drugged-up" skater types who all thing they are all individual and arenice and cooooool. And i'm sure they are...i mean, how many kids do you see skateboarding these days :eek:
I don't really get bullied that much. In the past things were rather bad, but i overcame them, and i never see these "kids" any more. Of course there's always the odd taunt you get by the "hardcores" of the school, but you learn to expect that. I'm still only 15 anyways, as are the others, so they're all ignorant little cunts. *I'm perfect in every way, of course
:rolleyes:
I feel sorry when i'm walking around school and see people picking on other because they like different music, or wear different clothes, or don't smoke 20 cigarettes a day. Luckily i've found friends who may smoke and be into different things, but still respect me cause i don't and we all get along great.
Well i'm sure the majority of them won't get invited back to the school after gcses, or will leave . *rejoyce*
Anyways, thats enough ranting for me
i got bullied age 7-14 {people are cunts}, when i stopped caring what stupid immature fucktards thought of me.
i get random taunts now and then, the usual 'ugly cunt', which pisses me off because the people who say it are normally *scruffy smackrat 3 kids by the time im 18* sort of people:rolleyes:
Another is being called a shortarse (i personally wouldnt say 5.6 1/2 is *incredibly* small for an 18 yr old male)
bah :p i say fuck off

I think bullying definitely forms you as a person as you grow older and into adulthood. Quite often your trust in others goes out the window. Then you end up being alone and I mean alone. For many years I didn't see anyone..just became a hermit :( (another word I hate). But after I came out of hospital in 2001 cos of a suicide attempt..things became better..I appreciated life a bit more than I did and I met new people both on line and off line. The biggest fear is becoming to dependent on one person :( But you have to keep your thoughts logical and not emotional.
I hate the gangser rap ethic..it does provoke quite a few arguements..WEST V'S EAST (not globally either). Solve a dispute by shotting someone down or slagging them off in a rap song..how erm childish :o

One of the things I've found is that bullying makes you want to isolate yourself, to get away from people so they can't hurt you. But I think in a way that makes it worse, it becomes much easier for people to prey on you and get to you, as well as damaging your self confidence. Though putting up wih shit all the time is hard. Though saying that I'm isolating my self at the moment due to some twat at work (who's leaving in a week thank god).
I think there is a web site, tim fields or something. If you do a google search you should find it. There is quite a lot of useful advice on there from what I can remeber. Sadly I don't think that bullying is something that can be solved easily. Apart from maybe ritual humilation of the bully in front of a lot of people

Although my experiences of bullying aren't anywhere near as bad as most of what's been discussed in this thread, i do have an intimate knowlidge of what it's like to be made a scapegoat of by school staff, which a lot of you have also mentioned. After several years of this, ive come to the conclusion that you should just fuck 'em all. Keep your head down and keep quiet and before you know it youll have finished your education and you can get the fuck out of there and forget all about everything that happened to you there.
My school is supposedly one of the best in wales, but the amount of institutional discrimination that goes on in there (and not just with me) is absolutely phenomenal.
Anyways, it kills me to hear everything you all have to say. Just goes to show that despite all the techonlogical and scientific advances we've made we're still effectively living in the stone age, and thats the single most depressing thought in the world.
i agree, u can only escape it once uve left the school.
then it's off 2 uni..
lotsa fun???????
People have mentioned that teachers should take more responsibility, but I think this is very difficult. What can they do? Yell at the bullies? deal out detentions and exclusions from school? All that earns for the bully is respect from all of their peers. I think the cane should be brought back. It would be painful and rather humiliating to be taken over the teachers knee and whacked. Yes, I know it probably wouldn't combat problems etc. but thats my views.
I've never been bullied. I've had a group of bitchy girls in the year above me follow me home/around town and have had comments made about my sexuality that are supposed to be hurtful and the usual one 'you stupid slag' which, I found hilarious because I knew I was far more intelligent than they were and I knew I wasn't a slag, so I could dismiss it as untrue. But nothing more...

That's a good point. In fact I'd go a step further and add that when you're abused by someone you dislike (and whose opinions you don't respect) then the fact that they dislike you is sometimes the highest compliment. It means you are nothing like them.
I would go with that.... A classic situation which always makes me and my best mate crack up, even 4 years on.
A-level Sociology class. Girl who speaks is doing A-level history at a grammer school. "What does genocide mean?"
The fact she had no respect for me meant the world.
I got bullied once, yeah alright, I admit it, it doesn't do much for my reputation.... can't remember why now, I was really young.
I had a fight with the kid in the playground, he never came near me again, and I don't understand why everyone doesn't just go and fight the bullies.

Ive bin bullied for most of my life, since i started skool really - i just tend to attract abuse off people - Personally i dont think anybody has the right to make anybody else feel like krap but i spose thats not really much use when your on the receiving end becasue theres nothing you can do about Society. Theres not one time i leave the house without being spat on, or without having stones lobbed at my head, even to the extent that i've had dog **** thrown at me, i've had it hard and it has to be said teachers do **** all about bullies. Bullying almost drove me to suicide but i have faith in God and i was strong because of that, i could not be defeated. I wish society cared a little more about other people rather than themselves.

People just cant accept people for who they are basically..unfortunately it doesnt stop at school and it isn't necessarily enemies either..it can be so called friends or even family..thats the heart/soul destroying stuff :(

But society is just a big collective label for us - a mass of individuals. Anyone who makes a stand against bullying or intolerance, anyone who dares to be a bit different is changing "society". It's when we follow the crowd (because it's easier than standing up for what we believe) that we are truly fucked.

I believe in 'individualism'
Society..is just the majority as said before..if we all went round bullying people..then I'm sure there would be a rise in Crime rates
