what do you guys think about bullying ? Give opinion based on experience or knowledge

I was bullied my first year in high school. After being picked on and some verbal retaliation, the bully decided to have some friends hold my arms and say... "If you ever say that again..." as he drew a line across my neck with a marker as if he was going to cut my head off.

Some time later we actually got into a fight in which I thought I got the best of him, but I got in more trouble for retaliation.

Several years later (and lots of days at school being scared about another confrontation) I was at a graduation party with friends and also... guess who! Yup the guy that I fought. He was actually quite restrained and actually seemed nice, well at least not wanting to KILL me. Perhaps it was my size difference. It was almost if he had quit growing when he was 15 and I just kept getting bigger.

Anyway, after moving away from my parents home and starting at the Uni, I was roommates with a good friend of mine that eventually married ....... yup the "Bully's" sister. Again no confrontations, just that funny feeling of unease.

After finishing up at the Uni, moving to a different part of the country, I returned home to visit friends and family. This time things turned out to be a little different.

At a BBQ event, some friends and I were talking, when I asked about the "Bully". One person replied, "You didn't hear?"
"Hear what?", I said.

"He was killed in a auto accident.", my friend replied.

Everyone went silent. It turns out that since school, the "Bully" had become a law enforcement officer (highway patrol type) and was killed while traveling at a high rate of speed. Ironically, not in a police car, but in his own vehilce, racing one of his bully friends. It is believed that one driver lost control, hit the other, and both drivers died.

I really wasn't moved by this news, but to this day I still remember the marker on the neck, the trash talk, and of course the fight at school, but what sticks in my mind (20 years later) most was seeing the "Bully" at the graduation party and how he sort of "grew up" or kinda knew that something was going to happen.

 

wow.....kinda in the face thingy......

 

What goes around comes around, I guess...

 

Bullies. I rate them lower than dirt. But I do pity them. I mean after all, they cant find a "raison d’être" and can only somewhat glimpse that at the cost of another that lives a good life.

 

I used to get bullied somethin' rotten when I was in primary school. A bunch of about 5 older kids used to go around the yard, handing out beatings. The leader was a kid called Chris. Tall, lanky, wore glasses and looked kinda geeky but he had a nice right hook.It was mostly his mates that would do the beatin'. He's just watch.

They eventually went off to High school and I decided to try me hand at martial arts and a bit o' boxing. Tae Kwon Do and later Muay Thai.

As some of you might remember from my raging bull escapee stories, I left school when I was 15 and went to work in a Meat Factory.

I'm workin' away one day on the factory floor....and guess who shows up?? Yep....Christopher. He seemed to think he could pick up where he left off at school (verbally though, nothing physical). I had other ideas and yes, it was wrong but I felt like gettin' physical.

His job was takin' off the empty hooks that the cattle would be hangin' on. He'd take em off the rail, go up through an empty Chill room and drop the hooks over a railing into the Loading Bay below. No one around. And that's where I caught him. Not my proudest moment but I fractured four of his ribs. He was a good boy too and told the management....my Da included that he fell against the railing. He never came back to work again and anytime I see him on the street, we just blank each other.

And ya know what?? I feel a twinge of guilt!! Only a twinge though....lets not get carried away here!!!

 

I used to be bullied to, and you know what i am doing much better than them right now. And you know what that kind of revenge is the sweetest of them all

 

but what if he is into wrestling??

 

People who bullies usually have problems themselves, people who thinks bullies are cool have serious problem themselves....maybe got raped at 5 year old

 

Peace to all... no matter what thier demeanor! Please change your evil ways..... Did I just say that?

 

I can't believe u just said that.
