Bullying has been going on for generations...I remember when I was growing up people seemed to always pick on the unpopular, nerdy, dweeby, unique, mentally/physically challenged etc.etc. individuals that possessed many unique qualities that were different from the norm.

This type of behavior/actions DO NOT sit well very well at all with the values, virtues, morals,and my being...

With that being said; at a very young age, I vowed that if there was something I could do to help and didn't I would never be able to forgive that woman in the mirror.

Therefore, seeing myself as somewhat of a Protector/Guardian of Human Beings, Animals, and Mother Nature.

Perspectively that is why I am so dog gone dedicated, determined, and very passionate about the wave of ripples I create throughout the world.

People are usually too afraid of me to bully me. They do, however, enjoy talking about me behind my back. Or at least they did in High School.

Why do you think they were/are afraid of you?

Because they admitted it (and told the administrators back when I was in High School.) I have no idea why-- I never talked to anyone and usually kept to myself or to my small group of friends, who were also pretty much not part of the crowd. Allegedly, I "looked at them the wrong way" or something equally ridiculous. School took their side, and pretty much prepared to do some sort of witch hunt, just because I was different and they couldn't understand me. Unfortunately for them, there is no 'right' way of looking at someone, and unless they've got concrete proof of wrongdoing, their words and allegations are null and void. Oh, Michael, how I understand thee.

I reckon they were probably afraid of me because I'm so much smarter than they are, and because I have unusual interests, am never seen in the company of boys, get close to teachers, and do all the things normal teenagers would never do. In other words, we had no common ground save for the fact that we all shared the same anatomy, and the same love for drinking lol. Other than that, we're worlds apart.
 
Nothing new about bullying. I was bullied relentlessly in elementary school...just because I was skinny, tall (at the time for my age), with a long, skinny neck, gangly arms and Clarke Kent eyeglasses (which are in style these days go figure). Kids called me names like Olive Oyl, Suzy the Giraffe, etc. I had fights almost every single day.

Now I wish someone would call me giraffe. I would be so happy!

But seriously, bullying and teasing can leave scars on a person that can last a lifetime. To this day at the age of 47 I am shy, quiet, keep to myself, don't like to socialize, am very self-conscious. Thank you classmates. Nice job.
 
I remember being bullied by this one girl when I was in 9th grade. It was at a school that I was forced to go to because I had moved. And I was totally afraid of all the kids in that school. Especially if those kids knew what school I originally came from. Because my old school is the sworn enemy of the school I was forced to go to. And I was afraid that I would not leave that school alive if those kids knew my old school.

But during my last 2 years of high school when I finally gotten back in to my old school. I became some what of a bully. I am not too proud of it. But I only became one because I had enough of the other kids always making fun of and attacking my beloved Michael. And of me for being a fan of his. I even once nearly put a girl in the hospital for making fun of him. I really was like an attack dog defending it's owner's property. I was the only MJ fan in a school full of haters. And plus those other kids would rather believe what was written about him in the tabloids than from a fan who knew the truth about him. And this back during the HIStory Era when this was going on. Liking let alone loving Michael Jackson was not consider cool. Especially when a lot people believe that he was a child molestor back then. Well during my last days of high school I did get some of the haters to some what change their minds about Michael. When I had this one kid played the first 2 songs off of my Blood On The Dance Floor cd. During my health class mock wedding reception. All of those haters thought what an awesome cd that is. And they knew it was Michael Jackson that was singing. But they still thought the cd was awesome. But I am just glad now that I no longer have to deal with the haters like I used to. Especially since I am 30 nearly 31 years old now and I have been out of school for over 11 years now.

Nobody fought those bullies back more than I did. I had my secret weapon. My long nails. Oh I fought back very hard. I was a pretty tough kid when I had to be. But there's only so much a girl can take.

That doesn't take away the pain those troublemakers caused me and the psychological scars that are left behind.

Good point. I remember one of my teachers told me she was tired of calling my mother to the school like what was happening was my fault when these kids were bothering me every day with out provocation.
 
Thank You all for your Reflections of Thoughts/Posts. It's nice to know that those of us that were ever bullied have a place to share their experiences.

On that note:

When I was growing up in the 60's many called me names(fatso, fatty, porky, Sarah Bernhardt, miss sensitive, cry baby etc. etc.) , picked on, made fun, of, badgered, I was so sensitive during those times that all anyone would have to do is look at me the wrong way I would cry.

I looked so different from my sisters, They were all tall, thin, dark brown eyed, brown haired and here I was this dark brown eyed, big boned tall blonde that was a chubby dork.

I even used to get teased that I was the milk mans daughter. At one point I even got a complex about it even though I "know" that it was all meant to be just in fun.

And then something miraculously happened...puberty, knowledge, growth, friendship stepped in that absolutely changed all that negative energy that I was receiving that truly helped me blossom into the human being I am today..!

"Moral of this true story...its not what is on the outside that counts...its all the beauty/purity we possess on the inside..!"

I was never one of the popular kids in school, but I was never really teased or bullied all that much either, except for one incident in Middle School.

In the spring of '97, (Blood on the Dance Floor!) I was in the sixth grade and I caught the chicken pox from my little brother, who caught it from a friend who was visiting. They say the older you are when you get it, the worse it is, and they're right. It was awful. I was covered from head to toe in spots, and it was torture just being awake. I was out of school for two weeks trying to recover from it.

When I came back to school, however, instead of being welcomed back by my friends and classmates, I was completely ostracized. There were still very visible marks all over my face (and they didn't completely fade for months) and the other kids took that to mean that I was still contagious. I received constant taunting and remarks of how disgusting I looked. When I walked down the hall, other kids would move to the opposite wall and say nasty things to me. What was incredible was how quickly the word spread of me from my classroom to what seemed like the entire grade. It got so bad that my guidance counselor ended up having me changed from one section of the grade to the other.

Fortunately, seventh and eighth grade went much better for me. :)
 
I wasn't bullied. I was attacked. Relentlessly attacked, even by adults. A teacher once called me a Nazi because of my interest in WWII, completely ignoring the fact that 1) I'm bisexual and 2)My best friends in HS were an African-American girl and a gay guy. Typical Nazi, you know?

People even tried, for a while, saying that I was a lesbian communist/nazi. How someone could be all three of those highly conflicting ideas is beyond me, but they tried it anyway.

I was also rather close to one of my teachers, who was the most awesome person up to date. They went down that avenue as well, to say the least.

Home/Online schooling sounded like a great idea, but my mother was too heartless to let me do that. I'm pretty sure she gained some sick sort of pleasure watching me suffer every day for eight years, only to return to more of it at "home." Thank goodness for college.
 
I was bullied (mainly verbal) when I was growing up. From age of 6 til when I left school around 17/18 I was bullied. I was bullied for being fat (which I've lost and kept off for 6 years), I was bullied for having a skin condition (Psoriasis), I was bullied for liking school(?!!), I was bullied cos my dad being disabled, I was bullied because I was quiet. I was also beaten up and mugged 7 years ago for which I still have a certain paranoia about certains things/ situations walking down the street :(
 
I use to be teased in school years back. I don't know if I call it bullied though cuz I found out years later they liked me. I was cool with that, then in High school I was teased again I decied later on it was enough I went to someone for help and it all stopped. You should talk to someone don't be scared to talk to someone.

Well you do know now its because those people were/are the Ghosts of Jealousy...right?

As far as being mugged, unfortunately it takes all kinds to make the world go round....Jesus crackers...its a dog gone good thing that you are still here with us.

As you are very well aware of...It's "always" important to be cautious of what is going on around us. When I was growing up,about 30/40 years ago things were soo much more laid back, well seemed to be anyways...(We didn't have to lock our doors, we could play outside after dark) We never had to worry about crime as much as we do nowadays. Even what my pops called the Cleveland, OH USA Bronx...sure it was tough life but not as bad as it is now.

Children killing children, bulling, muggings, etc.etc.etc....It's just stupid..!

God Bless Always

Yes, he did nothing about it. He was a fat son of a b--ch whose only purpose in life was to park his a-- at the nearest Mc Donald's. The board of education's only good at one thing, and that's shoving things up their rear.
 
I was bullied at school and to be honest I've never been the same person since.

I was a very sociable, chatty and happy child, but in my teenage years I was bullied quite badly and my confidence just nose-dived. Even though I'm now happily married and it's been nearly ten years since I was bullied, I still feel the effects of it every single day. I feel very awkward and uncomfortable in most social settings. I'm known for being quiet and often have trouble with my self-esteem.

Most days I try and block it out because I don't want to give into it. I try my best to be a positive, life-affirming person. But if something scars you deeply, it can stay with you for a long, long time...
 
I was kind of bullied in kindergarten - because I have freckles. What a stupid reason to be bullied, I know, but it affected me in someways and when I was in the same school with my bulliers I felt very uncomfortable being near them even though it was years later and they had probably changed by then.

I have also been the teaser, though - I teased this girl who is now one of my best friends. I don't want to defend my actions in any way but mostly I did it because I had a very dominating friend at that time and I was kind of just doing everything to please her. I was stupid, I know, but kids can be very stupid and mean to each other sometimes..
 
I've been bullied all my life (I'm 21 now), my most recent bullying was in College when I was on my Music Course someone asked me what I was listening to and I said Queen then they went on to call me a Fat Poof e.t.c.,so me in a fit off rage just picked my bag up stormed out the class and went home because I was not tolerating getting made fun of by a bunch of wannabe Musicians
