Can you remember being bullied when you were a mere child?
Are you still being bullied?
How did you cope before, or how are you coping with it now?
Can you remember a certain time when you were made fun of?
Did you ever tell anyone?

I remember growing up and being the butt of a lot of jokes. My brothers would constantly call me a "girl" and tell me that I was gay. As if that wasn't enough, kids in elementary school made fun of me too. Those were some of the hardest years of my life. Thankfully, I've grown, and I'm no longer offended by anything I'm told.

As a little kid I was probably a bully. ;____; I don't have any memories of bullying or being bullied but I never was a nice person. I used to steal my little brother's binky when I was like three. Now I kinda feel bad, I hope I didn't bully anyone, but I probably did. >_>

@littlemissmoore: lol! whoa! and they didn't press charges?
@`Ari: well, you've grown, haven't you? oO; that's all in the past. You don't go to the park and push kids around and tell them things, do you?

that's more along the lines of what i'm talking about: kids making fun of kids.

Can you remember being bullied when you were a mere child?
Yes.

Are you still being bullied?
Sometimes.

How did you cope before, or how are you coping with it now?
Eh, just ignore it.

Can you remember a certain time when you were made fun of?
Yes, everytime.

Did you ever tell anyone?
Yes, but it didnt do much.

[kalamari_keeng]

Ah.
Well, I remember growing up and finally being fed up with all the crap, so I told a kid off..and ever since I started High School, I kinda just started telling people to blow it out of their a**.

[Sikurri]

Nah~ I wasn't really bullied, but if you call some little teasing then I guess ~?

I just ignore or just tease back. If it's really bad, then I'll glare, give them the "You're really stupid" look.
Hhahaha~'

Can you remember being bullied when you were a mere child?
Yup.
Are you still being bullied?
Probably, but I've got better things to do than pay attention to it.
How did you cope before, or how are you coping with it now?
I didn't cope, I became cruel, sadistic, sarcastic and hateful
Can you remember a certain time when you were made fun of?
Just one?
Did you ever tell anyone?
Ya know that whole thing where the rich kids don't get punished because they donate to the school? Yeah. His parents gave the principal a sports car. Telling wouldn't have done any good.

[kalamari_keeng]

@shadow_ninjette: a sports car?! ...why?

[LoneWolfandShrub]

Yep, then I got punched flat in the face totally unprovoked.

And my body just seemed to fill out and I got alot stronger from then on, and lots of people tried to hurt me but they couldn't physically and I was taller and thicker than anyone else.

Puberty whoo.

Can you remember being bullied when you were a mere child?

Yes. It sucked. It was constant, started at a very bad time, and went on for too long.

Are you still being bullied?

When you are one of the oldest students in the place, and people know you for playing with knifes constantly, being on very good terms with some administration higher-ups, and being a bit...unstable (not really, just theatrical), you have achieved safety.

How did you cope before or how are you coping now?

At first I tried to ignore. When I couldn't ignore it anymore (try to ignore a rock hitting you in the eye), I responded in kind. After a while, people grew up, and now the stakes are higher and jerks are more careful (they are now old enough to go to jail).

Can you remember a certain time when you were made fun of?

Yes. But now I prefer to think of it as life lessons of the hard variety.

Did you ever tell anyone?

When I was younger I told my mother. Her answer: "You know that if I do anything they will just be rougher with you. Just kick them in the gonads."

[Nostalgie]

My brother was bullied so much in elementary school. Now, he has alot of problems. It sounds horrible, but sometimes I wonder if I ever had a gun with me in school, and what I would do.

[Biastophilia]

I've never been bullied much, that or I'm oblivious to it. Honestly, it's good for children to be bullied. It shows them, firsthand, how terrible people can be.
