Real life bullying is low and childish in most cases. Calling someone a "f-g" or something and really meaning it with negative intent is just cruel. Physical bullying is worse. But anyway, I'm not going to pretend I'm some angel, because (as the OP well knows) I call girls from our school ****s all the time and make fun of some people behind their backs, but it's not really the same as actually picking on a defenseless or lone kid who's just different, or who you just don't like. When you're intentionally spreading rumors or participating in a chain or group of bullying, it's a bit worse in my mind than just an offhand comment to one of your friends that "She's ugly" or "he's a loser". But I know that's wrong and a bad thing to do, which is why I've stopped saying things like that at all for the most part, as I've become a much nicer person over the past few years. I'm still not clean of all bullying though - there's just one or two people I cannot stand (but I see that differently as they did something to me to provoke these feelings). Personally I haven't been bullied much at all, and apparently not even behind my back as I thought I was, so I have no thoughts really on how it actually feels to be bullied.

Anyway, bullying is bad and those who do it and don't change their behavior are terrible. It's really not okay, as I've come to learn.

See,what you do in the making snide comments department isn't exactly bullying. It's cruel sometimes(Like when you said Squeak Squeak about Vickie.),and I wish you would stop,but of all the comments I hear throughout the day at our school, a mean comment about a voice crack is nothing. And especially here since everyone,even super nice people like Billy, make nasty comments about everything. For instance there was one of those girls sitting behind me in Algebra that called another girl scum because her clothes were from Walmart. That's bullying,and on the lighter side of it here,and it needs to stop. And you should cool it with some of those comments.

As I said, I realize all of this and plan to contain myself because I don't particularly like being mean. It's mostly taking advantage of being in a higher social position than others when I'm a very insecure person who used to be the bottom of the barrel, and as I become a happier and more comfortable person in my life, I become a kinder person due in part to less insecurity.

Just because you don't get it doesnt mean that people won't commit suicide over bullying.

I was bullied in high school A LOT. Teachers would do absolutely nothing, which at the point I thought was actually normal so I just ignored it as they came.

I did throw a textbook at a girl's head once because I had enough of her.

To those who think bullying is fun to not tipping

I never bullied but have been bullied and i stood up for myself but got punished for it by the school.

is it weird that in my school the people who would usually get bullied are the 25+ year old male teachers by my 17-19 year old classmates?

(this is true btw)

but seriously I think it's the worst thing you can experience in HS or in any level of education

It's traumatizing. Words hurt.

People who bully, really just have poor morals...

I notice things that I really don't like about people all the time, but out of respect, I keep it too myself, because I know what it was like to be bullied. Bullies struggle to separate what is right from wrong. This is something that ultimately, their parents should of taught them growing up. Unfortunately, parenting seems to be reaching an all time low these days. Some parents either couldn't care less about what their child does - or isn't aware of what their child behaves like around other children.

Defending yourself is not that easy. That takes a lot of confidence, and many of those that receive poor treatment have low self-esteem.

You ain't gonna get anywhere if you don't get confidence imo.

To the people saying they enjoy bullying and it's addictive or whatever, please tell me you're joking.

I was bullied both mentally and physically in high school and they were the worst days of my life. Bullying is just the lowest of the low, and if you bully - you should be ashamed of yourself. Bully's are just low-life scum-bags with no balls.

Basically. When I stopped being insecure about myself, I realized it's just rude
