Stop bullying awareness thread (Giveaways included Lvl 1+!)

when it comes to bullying, boop>bump.

experienced bullying in all of my school life, don't get me wrong, i've fought back here and there, but frankly had no patience for them so sometime around 5th grade i just ignored them(most of the bullying was verbally, if anyone touched me i'd kill them).

i've experienced quite alot of bullying at my 9th and 10th school years(physical ones), but i've stood up for myself couple of times(mustered the courage eventually), and it stopped, and by the 11th school year i've gotten popular enough and close enough friends that nobody even thought about bullying me, school became more fun aswell and i finished all of my classes with good enough to pass grades.

from there joined the army and extra stuff but the bullying happened only at my school years, today if i see anything that resembles bullies whether we're talking about animals or humans, depending on the age of the people involved i'll have different actions.

but bottom line.
BULLYING IS WRONG!!

Bump.

I got bullied in Primary school, like older kids would put my head in the toilet, fight me, spit on me and call me names all day but then I graduated to High school and as a defense mechanism I turned into a bully. Didn't realise this myself until I got kicked out of school for throwing one of the other students to a wall and pissing on his bed when I was drunk on a school trip in Paris just to look "cool" towards the other students. I transferred school after that and changed. Haven't bullied anyone ever since, it doesn't get you anywhere besides being president of the US.

I've been bullied for years. At school and at home. I had nowhere safe to go, nowhere to run to.
I've been abused in almost all the ways you can ever imagine and tried to end my life several times.

Today I'm still here, even though some days it feels more like surviving than actually living. I'm doing university studies in the best school of my country, fighting my mental illnesses, my health problems and the pressure of course all at the same time. I try to be strong, but I hate to see how much I struggle compared to the "average" student.

I still live at home, with the same persons, same environment, but I can't really said it's abusive anymore, I guess that's already a thing. I only am there on weekends and at school, everything is fine now.

However, scars remain, and while I'm fighting, I also look after my girlfriend, who has been bullied a lot too. I'm getting by. I'm still alive. Standing, fighting, but I am alive.

Here are some documentary films on bullying.

• Bully
• Audrie & Daisy
• Stalking Amanda Todd : The Man in the Shadows
• Bullies and friends

Could be a real eye-opener for some. Also, bullying comes in different forms, and not limited to these.

Thanks ! Bump

You get bullied until you understand the fact that you have to stand up and fight, at least it was like this for me I had been bullied in school until I learnt that I have fists that can punch back :)

I was briefly bullied as a kid... Then I turned into a bully out of frustration for an even briefer period... Then I ended up becoming popular, to the point I was friends with everyone from the jocks, to the druggies/smoker, to the chess, music and drama club, and so on. That influence then became used to stop as much bullshit as I could. That being said, in my experience, the only way to stop bullying was with threats of violence, or sometimes violence itself. Probably sounds counter productive, but... That's just how it's always been. As an adult it becomes even worse to try and stop, you have to really scare the shit out of kids, teens, and sadly in a lot of cases, their parents.

i used to be bullied to.
mostly verbal abuse about my weight i used to be quite fat but just because i were fat doesn't make it okay to try and hurt my feelings.
my weight were easily my most sensitive subject and the bully in question knew that.
it never got to psychical abuse thankfully but i still remember one time when i snapped and punched him.
not my proudest moment.

Yeah, bullying awefull. And it can really hurt a person, not just when it happens, but long term. Someone getting bullied over a long period of time is likely to feel a lot worse about themselves, and it might result in them developing serious trust issues. Bullying sucks, and I wish more people would take it seriously.

I was bullied when I was younger. The dad of one of my friends at the time talked to me about it and really helped me through. Started working on self defense among others and haven't stopped since. Even if all you can offer someone is someone to talk to that can help more than you might imagine! Anti-bully bump!

Best way to stand against a bully is bully him yourself. I mean, it doesn't work to tell adults about it, you have to stand for yourself and kick the bully's arse. Sometimes that's an incredible feat, but when they see you stand for yourself and they can get a punch in the face, they'll back away. I know this because I was bullied a lot on my childhood because of been short. But when I stood up, they retreated.
