Were you ever bullied?

[Pesik]

Gosh, people can be so cruel. Bullies often have their own deep routed problems and they take them out on other people. Usually bullies feel subconciously weak because of their problems and so they pick on the ones at school who appear weaker than them. I feel a bit undiserving saying I was never bullied because I do not see why I escaped them and so many others didnt. Its a terrible thing and I wish the best for all of those who have had to endure the pain bullies have caused.

I've had my share of experiences with bullying...

In Year One, I was dragged by the hair on the floor and up some steps by a boy. The following year, as I was getting my things out of my desk, another boy hit me on the head. In Year 9, someone threw a paper ball at my head. In the same year, a girl kicked me while I was sitting on my chair. <-- these are physical instances of bullying, my experiences with verbal bullying have happened a lot and still happen to this day..

It hurts the most when it comes from friends, ex boyfriends and my own parents. I replay past experiences over in my head when I'm especially depressed and it makes me feel really sad... these people... the old classmates that have probably forgotten about these moments have had such an impact on me - they don't give a damn, but here I am thinking about these events like they were yesterday.. I didn't do anything to these people, and yet I still didn't do anything when they attacked me so viciously.. I can't stand up for myself without breaking down in tears I have to attribute my f---ed upness partly because of these people..

Luckily I was never the subject of intense bullying. But in a way it makes me feel even more pathetic, because that only confirms that fact that I'm the one who let myself down to get to this point. I couldn't imagine going through some of the stuff you guys had to go through. I don't think I could ever cope.

I've never been bullied apart from this one time where some guys older than me started swinging me around, just grabbed my legs and arms and started swinging, it didn't hurt or anything, I was just scared. I don't even remember who they were or their faces or even when this was, I know I was like 7 or something but I'm not sure. I guess it could have been fun if I knew the guys, I was just scared they would throw me up in the air and let me fall.

I don't know why I was never a target for bullying, I was shorter and thinner than everyone my age, I had good grades, always quiet, etc.

Yeah, I've been bullied not physically though. It was mostly emotional and verbal bullying.

I was bullied at school although not consistently.

The embarrasing time came when these two kids (I call them kids because they were in my class, same age as me but shorter than me) chased me outsides where they got me on the ground and starting beating into me although admittedly not very hard. The embarrasing part came that this took place in full view of my sister who was with her friends and I caused her some embarrassment aswell as they realised who I was.

Other than that, it was being picked out in groups by these dominant, "bad-boy" cocky wanabes who enjoyed picking on the quiet ones. I guess it did have an effect as I grew older and socially.

Only verbally, thankfully. It was never too severe, but it definitely made me afraid of what I did and what people were thinking about me.

Yes I was bullied by not a group... but by one person at a time in my life. I always had that one person who knew how much I feared abandonment and took advantage of it... I truly hated these "friends" who never cared about me but used me, and knew I would take it because I couldn't bear having them leave me... A bad solution I've come up with: stay away from making friends.

i was verbally abused i had people call me names and make accusations about why i didn't talk in school... the most popular was that i sounded like a girl which was made up by a person i thought was a friend.

When I don´t count what happens at home, at school I was teased in a mean or condescending way sometimes. I wonder how few girls ever talked to me normally.
