i replied no comments from my most recent poll about bullying, but ive read them all.  
i was speechless while reading, and now im seriously concerned  but feel completely useless. i cant give any decent response (im pretty sure one the few i did reply was a terrible, inmature joke, im sorry)) to the very insightfull comments ive read. i do not feel capable or qualified to reply.
:hug:
youll never be bullied by me :)

ill tell you a little story too, im not proud, and then i am. when i was a little kid (like 6 or 7) i was kind of mean, as some kids are. and apparently i was once super mean to a girl named Consuelo (i dont remember this, my mother told me actually) the thing is Cosuelos mom called mine cause i said something super mean to her and i should apologize. I did apologize. Consuelo and i are super good friends now and hang out every monday, mostly at her place  heheh :)  so here is to Consuelo cause she knew how to forgive and gave me a second chance to get to know her, and she really knows me, shes is a great friend, I probably dont deserve it, but im glad she thinks i do :)    and  this was like 20 years ago.  
i know i got out of that "mean" stage pretty quickly after i got a horrible haircut and got bullied myself (and my kiddy boyfriend dumped me) but i know i cant compare that kind of kiddy bullying to those that ive read here, but still its a nice story, why not share it?

I'm currently in a class called "Psychology of the Victim" and I'm writing my final paper on bullying.

It's been taking me a very long time to write it as I've described my own experience as a victim (from the middle of second grade to the middle of sixth, the school music teacher relentlessly bullied me and I have never gotten over it). Seeing all of these stories, reading all of these articles for my references...

It's putting me in a bad headspace. I'm hoping that, once I hand the paper in, I'll feel some sense of closure. At least, I hope.

I know that sticks and stones blah blah blah, but words still sting. I am a very righteous person(even when i was three) So now I have to tell you about the lady bug incident. So i lived a couple houses down from this girl, I actually dont remember her name, so lets call her Sally. Her mom would send her over to play with me and my sisters, but Sally made the mistake of squishing a lady bug. And she paid for her mistake, I got into a fist fight with her and said "Don't you hurt lady bugs!" Never the less, she never came over to play again.

I'm lucky enough to be a teenage homeschooler, so I've never really been in public school, and I've never had to regularly deal with bullying. There have been a few instances, but I don't really hold it against the people who did it since I yelled right back at them.

I personally can't stand bullying or bullies, or the people who are physically able, or have the power to stop it, and don't. (I don't judge the people who are not physically able to break up a fistfight as much, because to me, that's just them trying to stay out of trouble, which is sometimes the best thing to do.)

I've been raised to be very righteous, and of my sisters and I, I'm the one with the temper, so whenever somebody does start bugging me or making fun of my friends or family, or anyone in general, I step right in there and give that person hell for it. I recognize that some of the things that I said at those people were very harsh and probably harsher than they deserved, and I'm actually quite ashamed of those things, but what matters to me now is that I'm not like that anymore--I don't freak out at people unless I believe they fully deserve it, and I've also become very adept to ignoring verbal pokes and jabs. xD When it comes to verbal jabs and insults, I now believe the best thing to do is just walk away. But if somebody is beating you up, well, I think you should fight back as hard as you can.

Now that I look at that....that's a long comment. xD

I was teased a lot in elementary school/high school, but never to the point of bullying... I however was part of bullying my now boyfriend. In high school, a lot of people thought he was gay, and I made fun of him for it too - it got so bad that one kid was suspended for bullying him. But he took it with a grain of salt and a "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" kind of attitude, and now he's even better a person because of it. I'm so happy he forgave me for teasing him, because we've been dating for three years now! Its funny how things turn out xD

Your story was nice. :) When we are kids we are all feisty at one point.

I've personally been bullied but it wasn't for a long period. The thing that always confuses me is they just bullied me to bully me. It was multiple people attacking me verbally at once. It went on for a few weeks until finally it got really bad. I went home crying to my mom and sister. It took almost an hour of pleading to calm them down so they wouldn't come on the bus and say something to my bullies. I broke down again on the bus the next morning before the bullies got on. My two friends saw and asked what was wrong. I told them what happened and they were PISSED. My friend tt waited until everyone got on the bus and cussed them out. She said they had to apologize to me and if they ever mess with me again she will personally kick their butts. The funny thing is after that they never messed with me and we were friends. Only two actually became good friends with me.

But i don't know why i just shared my life story. Um... what i was trying to say was usually at one point in life you become a bully victim or the bully (hopefully the first one though).
