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?

The nice thing about my grade school was that we were that one class in which, generally, everyone got along. There were fights, and arguements, and that stuff, but no one really full out bullied. We teased each other and that, but it was never bullying.

The only real problem with us were rumors. And in my eighth grade year, there was a rumor circulated around that one of my best friends and I were lesbians, which I could care less about, but going to a Catholic school where everyone thought you were gay..... Not fun. No one ever came out and called us gay or anything, but it as pretty easy to figure out. Apparently it got so bad, kids were talking about us in the halls, and it was the main topic of conversation. One of the teachers - my favorite teacher, actually - heard kids talking about us and our parents were informed of this prediciment, and...... Yeah. Not fun.

Yeah, but it's definitely better than having to deal with someone who just wants to make everyone's life miserable. :/

Yeah, it certainly made life difficult, but...... There was nothing we could really do about it.

*nods* I think that it's different for each person. Those that bullied me I would never want to be friends with those kind of people because I did see how they interacted with others. Though I have mentally forgiven them, they probably had family problems or the like and needed to take them out on someone else.

I always thought people who say i never bullied anyone, or would never allow someone to be bullied where full of it. Sorry, they are...you are. i was bullied throughout my childhood. i was beat, tortured, and humiliated on a daily basis. Nobody ever helped, no one ever, stood up for me, tried to get me help from an adult, nothing. Sure they would put on sad faces, while they watched, i could sometimes see someone with pity in their eyes., but mostly they laughed, stared, and went on their way. One time i was hung on a fence by my back, the spokes on the top of the fence pierced my back and i hung by my skin. the bullies either didn't notice, or didn't care. but they did this in broad daylight, in front of a dozen houses, and one of the adults in the house across the street even watched. i hung there for 3 hrs before my brother found me.....People like to say they care, but reality is different.

Wow! That is shocking. I can't imagine trying to walk past that and doing nothing. I'm sorry you had to live through that :hug: That's awful--but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

And you're right--a lot of people say that they care, and many do, but when it comes down to it, they're not willing to actually do anything about it if it means that they might end up getting bullied, too. And some of them who say that they never bullied anyone or wouldn't allow anyone to be bullied are full of it, but I wouldn't say all of them. I know plenty of people who would stop to help someone out if they saw that person was in trouble, and these people were never bullies.

Again, I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that! The horrors some people committ are truly cruel, aren't they? I could never have walked past you if I'd seen you hanging on that fence. And that adult..! Wow, you'd think the adult, of all people, would help.

thats true. i never said i was no bully, i just said i was, as a child. but i never saw any physical bullying, ever. and for waht ive heard here bullying is never/rarely as bad here in my country (or in my school) as it in yours. so i cannot tell how i would react really.
