Some of us have mentioned that we've been the victims of bullies. I'm wondering if this is a common experience for suffers of SP. I've also been the victims of bullies in school. Obviously bullies don't pick on just those with SP but I'm guessing that suffering from SP might make it worse. Bullying can happen even outside of school like at work or some place else.

I was as every one thought I was a snob at school not shy! This girl really wanted to be my friend when I moved to high school but my best friend didn't want it to be anything other than the 2 of Us, so I didn't really do anything to make friends with the other girl so she started thumping me in the back every time I saw her and calling me a stuck up bitch and even told the teacher in English class, she hated me!
I wanted tobe her friend so much but was too scared to stand up to my best friend and just let the bully girl hit me and never retaliated one bit. I just acted like it wasn't happening and ignored everythign she said and did to me but started not wanting to go to school and it all eventually came out to my Parents. I even had to go into school to catch up on some work I'd missed otherwise I would just have failed my exams becaus eof the time I'd missed at school too afraid to go.

i was bullied

yeah, those were some awful and humiliating times in school. having s.p. you're too nervous and afraid to retaliate the way other kids might. so you try your hardest to pretend it doesn't bother you so much when really it's killing you. if i had more confidence i probably could've won some of those fights. could've put some of those little bastards in their places in front of everyone. i do have a couple times during school that i did fight back. whenver i get down about being bullied i always think about those times when i slugged this little prick right in his head like five times in a row. it started when he was being mean to me and said he didn't want to sit next to me. i stood up and he tried to sit me back down so i saw red and went fists of fury on his ass!! (lennox lewis i'm coming for you, lol) i felt like a hero afterwards and everyone was like "Way to go!!!" but for the most part i let them get the best of me and it sucks. maybe the kids that bullied us were bullied themselves by their parents. everyone gets there's sooner or later. just take life one day at a time and read the bible for guidance. these problems wont' seem as bad. take the focus off yourselves and try to help others. you'll be amazed how much better you feel.

I was bullied from playschool up until i was 9 becuase i was a "fatty"
and even in the early 90s there wasnt that many fat kids around
i remember doing PE once and i coudnt roll over so the teacher in front of everyone said "we will have to get you running around and get some of that weight of you" :oops:
i started having fits and night terrors often so after awhile my mum took me out of school and taught me herself.
but i have had no social life for ten years and get very panicked around people (just now in fact).

I hated school because of this all my school life was surrounded by bullies...I still don't understand what their intentions or reasons to pick on me were for..the worst one happened in junior high...there for about a year I was constantly picked on by a girl who was a leader in a gang( vebally). the girl was known for getting into fights all the time ...no one ever tried to retaliate the teachers didn't care or were afraid themselves ( i saw one teacher cry after being frustrated or scared bad school at the time) Fighting her never crossed my mind...It kinda followed me into highschool too except that this time it was a boy and he had a crush on me...for some reason he thought being rude and calling me ugly was going to make me like him......I was soo happy leaving public school when I was 18 ...That was years ago IM alright now...no bulliles in sight... I promised my self never to let my self get bullied again ..doesn't matter what point im at ..just never let it happen....if you let it happen..... a bit of your self esteem/self respect goes...

Looking back, some probably thought that about me as well. Because I'd be OK with some people but avoided those I found threatening, couldn't take their jokes properly and my face froze and my body stiffened when they spoke to me. They probably thought I was I right little miss :lol:
I don't think they bullied me on purpose, but I did feel they singled me out, especially for pranks, despite me not finding it funny or pretending to.

true true racheH and mrsp.... I guess I do know some of the reasons why I was bullied and that was becasue of people's miscoceptions about myself. ...like being stuck up..,...and other times I think that they saw me as an easy target to use so they could get attention.

I was bullied at school because i was a fatty then :( It really sucks, and you never forget it. Outside i no longer look the same way, but inside somtimes i feel like that trapped "fat girl". I think bullying is so cowardly and shameful, they should be disgusted. Apparently, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, right??? :?

I was bullied by my two older brothers ( by 3 and 4 years ). This started early and stopped when I was in my mid to late teens. It was brutal at times. I _think_ that my brothers picked up on how my mother treated me ( and them). She did not actively bully, but she never complimented or encouraged us, and dismissed those who did. Mad me feel bad about myself.

In HS, there were couple incidents, people generally left me alone.

Thanks everyone for sharing. I was bullied in grammer school sometimes not by my classmates but the neighborhood bullies. By the time I decided to finally stand up for myself and answer a challenge to a fight it was too late. The people who bullied me stopped and we kind of became friends. I was bullied in high school a few times, nothing really major, but since I moved a lot I went to almost a different high school every year. The new kid is almost always a target. Looking back I think part of the reason I took it for so long was because I was used to it. I was bullied at home, sort of, and that was the worse part of it. Words can hurt more than fists sometimes.

I got bullied, verbally, every day because I was that fat girl who always hung out with the smart kids cuz they were the only ones who didnt care that I was fat. Daily torture. Which is why i dropped out of school.

I was bullied during the last year of primary school at age 8/9 right through till when I left high school at age 16

physically it was so bad that I had permanent yellow and black bruising up my arms and entire upper body that only ever went away in the summer. the beatings would happen at school and also in public if people my age saw me there. once my parents had to call the police to get rid of the gang of 8 - 9 school kids waiting in the bushes in my driveway.

verbally/mentally the effect was even more damaging than the bruises and cuts. I learnt that I wasnt good enough for others my age, wasnt good enough for the girls and expected everyone my age to at the best laugh at me and at the worst smack me over until Im on the ground. No surprise that I took a steak knife to my wrist at age 15.

I wasnt overweight at all, and neither did I have socialphobia but as a direct result of the bullying I developed serious depression, put on a lot of weight and developed social phobia which it seems I have to live with for the rest of my life.

Jesus F@*#ING Christ Horatio - When the law finally allows ritualised retribution killings of all bullies me and Boundless are going to hunt down all those F$%#ERS and teach them a lesson. Then we'll go after his - well the order is up to him but they will get theirs don't you worry.

Okay now that's out of my system - yeah i was teased at school as well - gotta love school don't ya! Sent off there everyday to encounter that ridicule - to those who don't fit in it is institutionalised torture. It's ironic isn't it - you have to go to school to get an education so you can give yourself a better life - but the very place that is to provide this for you is the place that tears you so far down you do not think you are worthy of it. :evil:

I was verbally bullied through high school. I was called everything. It quickly got to the point where I only went to my locker once a day to change books. I had my coat with me everyday during the winter. That was my way of being out of the hallways so “they” wouldn’t get me. Once, my lung collapsed – not life threatening and by no-one’s fault. I just couldn’t walk as fast for awhile. Anyway, while I was rehabbing it, I didn’t dare even tell a teacher about it for fear that a student would find out and hit me in my chest. Oh yeah – the military. In the Air Force, there was always a nut who had something to say when he was around his friends. I got one of them back (in a way): when he got in serious trouble, I was the lucky one who typed up his discharge paperwork. Oh, I was grinning the whole time! On his last day, he had to get signatures in order to “check out” of the unit. When he finished, he was placed in my office before meeting the colonel. Here we were. I had him! And I didn’t speak a word to him. I decided to be the better man. I hope he learned something.

You know i think about people like that - who do all of those horrid things and i think what the fuck, we're not animals here - we have minds we have a conscience - the ability to think about our actions and the effect they will have on another - that just makes it worse though they still do it in spite of all that ability - it's malicious and sadistic and a waste of a mind - and the end result of that bullying is also the destruction of another mind - what a waste.

I know what you mean about raw hatred Boundless - nothing makes me angrier than that sort of senseless injustice - WHY? is all i can say to it.
