I was once, in Year 4 I think it was (I was 8 at the time). Some big kid took my lunch money, so I told the teacher. ![]() Next day, he beat me up for telling the teacher. ![]() So I told the teacher again. ![]() Next day, him and his friends beat me up. ![]() So I told the teacher on all of them. ![]() For a month and a bit, they made my life a living hell. So I started a fight with the ring leader, won and gained the respect of his friends. The moral of this story is, it's probably best not to read my threads. |

Did that really happen? That sounds so cliche. I don't think mine counts as classic bullying. When I started intermediate school there was a girl who was in the year above me. She was HUGE. Not so much fat, just really tall and big-boned. She was english and had the coldest pale blue eyes. Anyway for some reason she took a disliking to me and spent the first couple of weeks calling me names. I told the teacher and it stopped. Oneday I saw her crying at lunchtime and I decided that she must have a shitty life and that's why she took it out on me. It didn't make me like her though. I used to go through arguments with my girlfriends all the time. I was friends with a group of girls who would all suddenly decide to stop talking to someone in the group at the same time. When I was the ostracized one it felt horrible, like the world was ending. When I wasn't, I felt awful for the person who was. Oneday after a particularly dreadful two days of being ignored and whispered about from across the room, I approached the group at their table with tears pouring down my face and asked if they could end it now, could we all just be friends again? They all looked very guilty but nobody had the guts to be the one to agree and say yes, we could be friends. They made me squirm for another day or so until one morning when I walked into the classroom they came rushing up to me all smiles and friendly gossip as if nothing had ever happened. I seriously lost a lot of faith in females that day. I will always stick up for my gender but I despise how bitchy women can be about each other. |

All that happened when I was at intermediate so I was about 11 or 12. When I got to highschool I ditched most of those girls and fell in with a different group of girls. We never fought and stayed close all the way through highschool. |

I think bullies are bullied by adults. That's why they choose to bully other kids. Yes, everybody is bullied at some point in their life. |

I was always a weak kid. Cool kids would come up to me every day and ask to 'borrow' my lunch money, and I'd readily give it to them. I was never afraid of them hurting me. I was afraid of them not liking me. |
