Hi all,

I would LOVE to know.

Who among you would assess yourself as having been (or continues to be) a Bully?

Who among you has the guts to admit that you routinely got you booty kicked by someone who struck fear in you?

Did any of you ever threaten to Kick someones a$$ after school?,

Did you ever suffer the torture of having to concentrate for an entire day of school knowing that the biggest guy in the world was going to kick your butt after school?

I have my guesses as to who some of you bullies are by the way you conduct yourself in TT. I think it would be really fun to hear your stories.

Some1 wanted to kick my ass but I kicked deres so dey was cryin

Kris

LOL, way to go, Kris!

I suppose I was the bullied during grade-school days in that I didn't initiate the fights (I never threatened I'd kick someone's ass). However, I was able to hold my own on fights when they occurred. I guess I'm middle of the road.

I was one of the few white kids in a predominantly black school, located in the ghetto streets of Compton LA. My brother and I got picked on a lot, but we always stood our ground. 2 or 3 fights a week was not uncommon for us. Sometimes we'd win, sometimes we'd loose. Sometimes we'd have to pick a small fight, to avoid a bigger fight in the future. It's like that sometimes.

I've been hospitalized before, beaten to a bloody pulp. Stabbed, shot at... I've done time for assault with a deadly weapon, fortunately my lawyer was able to get the attempted manslaughter charges dropped, because it was self defence. It was a long hard road, but I got myself out of that seen. Wounds will heal, but the scars will never go away.

Wow kozer. Sounds like you had a rough life man. Sorry to hear about that.

For me, I was neither bullied or a bullier. In general in school, I was liked, even by some of the meaner kids. I was the "school artist" in elementary at least, which had some benefits (see being liked above)

I can only think of a couple of occasions where I was picked on or threatened, but none of it was ever serious. I once almost had a fight with a kid nearly twice my size and strength. He really pissed me off, and I went after him, fully realizing that I might get my ass kicked, but I was so angry I threw caution to the wind. (I had also been studying martial arts by this time, so my confidence in my ability to fight was growing) I personally don't think there's anything scarier than someone who is determined to hurt you. Apparently this guy saw the determination in my eyes and backed off. Either that or it wasn't worth his time and effort to pummel into the ground :P

That was the only time I almost initiated something. Otherwise, I've always avoided confrontations.

Oh, I have been homeschooled since 1st grade, but I don't want to talk about it right now.

Back to the subject,

I was bullied ALOT in kindergarten. I was the "nicest" kid in the school, all the bullies thought I was easy to beat up. I then was considered a bully because I was blamed for starting a fight that I wasn't in! Here's what a kid said to me then:

R: me B: Bully (not Bolo)

B: Hey bitch

R: yes?

B: After school tomorrow, I'm gonna whoop your fu_kin' ass down to the floor

R: Why?

B: Cuz' you suck dick...

B: HAHAHAHAHA!

R: But...

B: Be there, or be a bastard!

Mean kids, eh'?

When I was young I was beaten daily by big kids, so now I exact revenge on unsuspecting tankers!

I suspect all campers were bullied at some time in their life. Da Cleaners childhood was probably one huge mass of bruises.

Bullies usually drive heavies, no? (J/K Ben, LC, etc.)

I was neither... I was one of the biggest guys in school, so no one messed with me, but I was also quiet and shy and so I never picked on anyone. I usually helped out those skinny, pathetic freshmen nerds that otherwise got locked up in their lockers and pummelled.

I was sort of like that dude in "My Bodyguard" (1980), not the Whitney Houston Schlock fest called "The Bodyguard".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081207/

I live in a great rural town where there are absolutely no bullies at school. I have never faced the problem of somebody trying to beat me up, and I hope I never will. But just in case that does happen, I am training in fencing. :P

For the most part, I was bullied. The sad thing is I was conditioned at home by my stepfather to put up with it (he teased me relentlessly). So to me, that's how life was so I never really got to the point of fighting.

Except...

There were a few occasions in HS when I was either finally pushed to my limit or it was a matter of honor. Win some, lose some, eh?

Of course now, I refuse to be bullied. Just ask my ex-con neighbor. ;)

I was both the bully and the bullied. Funny how some things don't change eh? When you stick your neck out there you are sure to find someone wanting to chop your head off.

For me there were two defining moments in High School;

1) This jerk named Bru would hit me all the time... Basically he would do the high-school torture thing, tripping me, knocking my books, thumping me on the head, etc... I really got to where I hated english class because I knew he was going to make me miserable in some way. Then one morning he came into the class and gave me a knuckle punch on top of my head as he walked by. I couldn't tell which hurt more, the knuckes on my skull or my teeth slamming together from the impact. I freaked out on him in a big way. I stood up and started screaming at him... I mean SCREAMING at him for being such an ass..... He actually had the nerve to tell me that he would kick my ass after school and I was so insane on him that I got in his face and screamed "Why wait till after school A__hole!!! Lets go NOW!!!'. As soon as those words left my mouth I froze inside because he was a huge mean violent guy.... The kids in the class started giggling at this scene that just played out in front of them.... Bru got embarassed and got up and left the class. The teacher sent me to the principals office. Never saw him after school, and the next morning he didn't thump my head, he never bothered me again for the rest of the semester.

2) The other "Major" moment was when I realized in my junior year that my body had abruptly leapt ahead into womanhood and I was suddenly the desire of the boys and the envy of the girls. I was the tallest girl in school with great legs and a closet full of short skirts. I REALLY enjoyed the physical and psychological transition from being a tomboy to being sexy. I was never a bully or bullied in my junior and senior years after I got girly.

Life was sure a lot less complicated then.

Hehe. Well TG, your story just adds further proof to my belief that most bullies are really just chickensh|t little weenies that back down as soon as it comes time to prove their mettle. Most are just scared little people that take out their feelings of inadequacy on other's around them. Of course, that's not always true. Some bullies are truly mean, tough individuals that will take on anyone. But more often than not the former is truer.

Y'know, the funny thing is, Bru was probably attracted to you in some way, even if he didn't totally realize it. :P So often in grade school that kind of attraction can come out that way. Weird.

Good thread so far.

I dont know what to classify myself as. I was probly Bullied more. Lets jsut say there were easier things to bully then me, but I had my share. Never bullied myself. Im to "empathic" for that.

I tended to clam up and built walls around me. My dad lost his bread winning job, and I since I was only enough to have a job I was required to fix and pay for my own lunch. I tried hot lunch but for some reason with all the budding I ended up being one of the last people to get my lunch. Finally got tired of it, and skipped lunch so I could play on the computers, and avoid having to be harrased at lunch.

Having a bad temper wwhile in school mad me lose freinds so fast. Iwill never forget the day in 4th grade when there was a new girl and the school "Gossiper" was telling her all about everyone as they walked in "Stay away from him, he's a spaz" Labeled from the very beginning and never able to make an honest first impression :[

Then in my high school jr year the one group I "hanged" out with the ones I thoguh were freinds, or were the only people I knew were freinds told me "We don't like you, go away, dont bother us anymore" I never felt so horrible in my life. It didn't help that earlier that year my first girlfreind that I love dumped me and so after losing my only frenids I tried to attempt suicide.

I graduated from high school alone with no freinds, a social outcast, low self-esteem, and the end result of constant bulling, not the physical kind, but something more worse, the emotional kind. The physical kind you can deal with, but someone like me has no way to deal with the emotional kind. I still feel the effects of in now 11 years after high school.

In short, dont do it, you cannot belive the amount of damage and pain you are causing. I was lucky enough to survive. If you see it happening, take a stand and defend that person, regardles of what it may cost you, because being alone is somplace you never want to be. WHo knows, you jsut might make enough of a differance to help someone make it in life and not self-distruct

You know I think I was a bully without noticing. I would not knowingly pick on short people like useing them as an arm rest or something like that and not even thinking that I was picking on him!

I was never really the bully or was bullied. I was one of the biggest guys in my school. I didn't have big muscles by any means, but I was tall and in pretty good shape. I was kinda quiet and shy but was generally liked by most of the different groups. I was an artsy kid so I got along with that group. I got along with the machine heads because I was in shop and loved cars. I was in sports so I got along with the jocks. I was in chorus and loved music so I knew most of that crowd. And I can be a HUGE nerd so I got along with that group as well. :)

The only times I would get into fights is when I got caught messing around with somebody else's girl. Oopsy, my bad. XD

MonkeeMan

I always just tried to be friends with people. Or at leats not be enemies. I have never been in a fight. Ever. One reason may be that im a big guy. Im 14 years old and I weigh 270 lbs. ( thats muscle not fat) so not many people like the odds they're faced with.

The Beastly Baklava

Times were tough for me in elementary school. We were bussed to the other side of town - very rough. I was the smart little wimpy kid content do do his own thing. Mostly I could stay out of the way of the heavy iron, but occasionally I would become the target of someone's rage. I ended up getting one of my front teeth knocked out in 5th grade after I stood up to our class bully. Still have a plastic tooth 32 years later as a reminder. Being a small kid, I learned to (a) avoid conflict, (b) run fast and (c) use my brain. That's partly why TT is so fun. You can actually play a team "sport" without being the biggest guy on the playground.

@Bak,

You ate alot of that baklava didin't you? Makes you strong, LOL.

What do you want - I was a computer geek. I was the prey not the predator. Until, that is, the predators realised they liked the games I made, and they left me alone after that :)

-Z-

Lol -z-.

Im in the middle, I am cool enough not to be bullied for being a geek, and I am geeky enough not to be bullied for being a prep. It feels good to be in the middle. XD

@ ben: LOL

@ RX: why didnt u cook up some concoction and take him out? Lol

@ TG: too bad I wasnt there....i see any guy hit a woman they get taken behind the woodshed

@ all

Well....i have lived both sides I guess....when I was in grade school I was bullied more than anyone cause I was smaller....in fifth grade I started wrestling. Never got picked on for a long time because I could kick some ass...then when I was a freshmen it started again. I was damn tuff then but seniors were just too much older and had more friends...i got picked on more..i started lifting weights again and then junior and senior year I was never picked on...in fact I was kind of a bully in some respects. I was known as the "nerd with an attitude" I was captain of the nerd bowl and also could kick some booty....somebody would challenge me they would get a fight right there...not after school...right there in class...(yes I knew the principal well!!) in college dorms I was a major bully. I was more interested in getting my programming assignments done and getting laid than doing stupid immature college pranks. I would go out in the dorm hall in my underwear at 4am and flatten everyone then get back to bed....immature morons.....lol

Kinda like my TT personality....i am the first one to help everyone with things on the forums and to switch sides and help a weak team. I spend a lot of time training and offering advice. I get several emails per week from people asking for advice. I also get my share of hate mail from morons...

On the other hand I wont turn down a challenge...mainly since I can take most of u anytime I want.

Bolos meds are out of whack?

An extra Lithium for bolo next time.. Kay?

:)

@ All,

Being a girl, I was encouraged from an early stage by my parents to take up martial arts for self defence. At school little boys who picked on me didn't know my background. Poor little sods. Funny how quickly they run to their mummy's when they get their ass beat by a girl, let alone the humiliation that you got beat by a girl.

I don't believe in confrontation, however put me in a corner, and make sure that you can knock me out, otherwise PRAY!!!!

Once in High School, I had this meanie rough me up something bad. Wrong place, wrong time. I came home, and my parents thought that I had been raped. I was so scared for my life. My solutions was simple, the next day, I brought a baseball bat with me. When he wasn't looking, KAPOW. He ended up in hospital - from what I was told by the headmaster he had a broken nose, wrist, and some broken ribs. I was never expelled from school, due to my good record - grades, and so forth. I never saw him ever again.

I regret doing what I did that day. Two wrongs don't make a right, I guess in my mind I had to prove a point. Looking back at that day now, I try to figure out what the hell that point was. I guess if I had made a mistake that day, maybe I could of ended in hospital.

Wow, interesting stories!

Wow thanks for the post TG. Perhaps later you will join the club and send me some hate mail...

B

Bolo, You must be a bit frazzled my friend. I was just making fun of your previous post which was pretty manic. I couldn't help but notice you seriously edited that post today. I would never send you hate mail. (although I hate how badly you beat me nearly every time we play).

In my case, during my adolescence glib and charming worked well to difuse bullying by others. As did heavy bone mass and a rather high pain threashhold.

Once in my junior year at high school I was called out by a bully. We met after class. With his orangutan like reach he proceeded to pound the crap out of me unti I scoped the rhythm of his swings and ducked. His fist met the pointed crown of my Polack head. I went home with two black eyes and a swollen lip. He went to the hospital with four shattered bones in his hand, a severely dislocated thumb and a crack in one of the bones in his wrist.

I was also the guy the hoods came to for help with schoolwork - and in the creation of pyrotecnics.

By the time I came out of the service and entered University I had perfected a scary style that made me an unappealing target for bullies.

I have been called a perfect gentleman - "You are never rude to another person... By accident." And have been warned, "With your personality you had better be the best swordsman in all of France, or appear to be." It is my secret which course I chose.

I have never begun a fight, don't recall having fled from any. I defused a number of dangerous confrontations during the Viet Nam era through the application of reason, wit & charm. In the Eighties I was approached by a biker gang to be their envoy in any confrontations with the police. It was a generous offer, I'd get into all their parities & they'd help me upgrade my rice burner to a Harley, but I graciously passed.

I don't like bullies and I don't like cheats.

...........sluggy the peaceful

In junior and high school for 5 years I got to fight weekly with my moronic good friend and his brother (Jerome and Charles). We would have the coolest times playing games at their place then somehow we would end up fighting. They would go insane and moody and attack me. Their mom was useless at preventing this, and the dad was absent from the picture. That was little nasty youth fights.

Also usually on friday afternoons waiting for the bus at school would get in a fight with Jerome. He was my age, a bit smaller than me but swift and aggressive. I was terrified until the fight began. Then it was easy. You get warmed up quickly and basically you just wrestle and kick ass and throw punches around, hoping for the best. It's not very painful and you don't do much damage either.

One day in grade 8 I broke a finger in a class fight kicking Jerome in the teeth. Ouch. Wore a plaster for a few weeks, but somehow he was pacified too.

The following summer in a fight with his brother Charles I was so fed up that I summoned the spell 'Super Brute Strength'. We got to it lounging and etc. Then I after some wrestle I was screaming at him for attacking me and then was strangling him, sitting on his chest. I remember the expression of pain and fear in his face. For a moment our eyes met and we both realized I could kill him now if I wanted. It was horrifying. I release the pressure, got up, apologize and left. This was the last time I saw him. After that I never hung out with them.

A few months later I moved out of there. Never saw them since. I have the feeling they must be angry young men, but I might be wrong. Maybe they changed and became beautiful souls. They were quite angry and aggressive in their youth that for sure. Now I'm gonna pray for them. Maybe they are fathers now. I hope they're not too messed up.

I was bullied alot as a kid, being an A student in everything except gym, there was this kid named Ben, he'd pick fights with everyone, and he was very strong. Funny thing is, he was the shortest in the class, and the smallest. But he could beat up an adult if he wanted to.

One day he kept punching me, so I beat the crap out of him (somehow), and after that, he was transfered to another school. His parents said I was a "bad influence".

Times have changed though, 6 months ago I found a cable splitter on the power pole outside my driveway, so I kicked my neighbor's ass.

He dropped the charges after I reminded him of the time he stole my ATV. ;)

Canadians fighting lol :P

He he....well my life has been tough waaay back when about 10 years ago, I was pretty popular, but that being in kindergarten and at my school bullies were almost non existant and we all liked each other and played with each other but then I moved, to a new house new school and it all changed, I was bullied alot and from then on I've been kinda anti social and well after being bullied and in grade 5 I was put in french emersion and none of the friends I had were in that class so I was stuck with a class full of people I didn't know and they all teased me and of course I sucksed at french and due to my bad temper I was almost hated by the teachers.... Well I moved again (to where I live now) and finaly I fit in I made friends and no one bullied me. Of course there were some people I didn't like or didn't get along with but I was pretty much everyones friend, fit so I would go biking or play hockey with one group, but alos play video games and kick ass with another group... Yup life is strange..I've been in 2 fights both times though I was blinded by rage and ended up pounding the kids face into the ground..... Ahh well thats the past..

@ sluggy

U dont fool me. U are a charmer and 007 in disguise...how else can u explain all those wives....lol

@ TG

I edited 1 line that some morons couldnt handle...i just changed it back

@ hugo

Remind me to not steal the scrum from u :)

I was considered a bully in elementary school. It was imposed onto me, actually. I've always been tall and intimidating (and incredibly attractive) by my breathren. People pegged me as the bully, when I bulled no one. Inaccurate rumors fly and crap like that.

In Junior High, I was teased a bit as a freshman. But when I fought back, things changed quickly 'cause I did it rather well. Pleasantly surprised myself when the adrenaline set in. After that freshman junior high year, nada. Got along w/ all kinds of people & etc.

I was a peaceful pothead that trancended the segregation barrier of cliques. Somebody make an afterschool special.

Chop! Chop!

I was a bully but only in regards to other bullies. Nothing made me more angry than when a creep would pick on some other kid because he was smaller, or meeker than him, so I was more of an advocate than a bully. But I got in a lot of trouble for getting into fights, hence my difficulty in dealing with the j-holes who come in and shoot you from behind in scrum. THe world could use a whole lot less jerks.

Peace,

Memphis

There is this kid who tries to be hip hop and cool at the school I go to.So I made stickers saying NO JOSH and made a hilarious pic. Of him but I do no know how to post a picture

In my current garde (6th) im not a bully at all but not picked on alot either. But whats really strange is, im kinda a bully at 7th and (few) 8th graders. Well, im not really *picked on* in my own grade but just half of the people in my grade have either a grudge to hold on me or they have a thought of bad impression for me. I know im not picked on. Im one of the taller kids in my grade, ive never lost a fight, weigh 95 pounds at age twelve, also considered one of the smarter, senseful, but gutless kids. (well no one really wants to pick a fight with me anyways, I dont piss people off that much either.,people hold a grudge against me because they find me annoying sometimes, otherwise, its just their personality to get mad at everyone.)

Well, in Middle school I was a bullier, mostly just w/ my friends cause we all did it together. I got in quite a few starts, but never started em. Mostly defending a friend or two of mine actually. I did some pretty f'ed up things to some of the kids in my school which I definitely regret, won't go into detail though. In middle school I was pretty different. I started out completely Goth, but everyone liked and respected me. I even hung out w/ all the jocks and 'popular' kids of the school about 90% of the time, that was really weird. I chilled w/ quite of few of them, other goths, pot heads (like myself at the time), and even thugs. I never got in fights cause I was just friends w/ everyone, and avoided them if the situation ever arose.

I was one of the bullied. From grade 8 through grade 10 I was the smallest in the class (5' 7" and 95 lbs in grade 10). Luckily I hung around with a bunch of guys from my town so the bullys generally didn't try anything for fear of the group reprisals. I was also one of four brothers so again, safety in numbers. Luckily I am now 6' 2" and 190 lbs so I now use my size to try to stop bullies when I see them (bullies hate large parents walking towards them menacingly). This is also manifested in my switching to TT Police when I see idiots on a server. I can hunt down dimwits all day.

DanMac

Says you. I took the class, at the Reily Center as proof. U know how they had kickboxing open? I'm thinking about that, too...

I'm thinking about getting up from here and making coffee. Maybe after that, take a shower. And the dog needs a walk. These underwear look ridiculous.

How is saying you took classes at the Reily center proof?

Judo for 7 yrs. Eh?

In fact..... You just started your membership 2 weeks ago LOL!

I just remembered, I'm out of cream...could drink it black...but that's just no damn good.

I'm thinking that everyone I've seen who took martial arts and thought they were invincible got the crap beat out of them.

Got that right baklava ;)

Have to agree with bak....kiddies if u wanna rip a bully apart join the wrestling team..

B

Or box...or box and wrestle, or take up submission ground fighting...or all. Or buy a gun. Or take steroids.

Or hire a big retarded guy to watch over you like in "the bodyguard"...or stay in the house...

These socks chafe

U dont have to be an expert wrestler to take on most people....few people can really put up much of a fight no matter what their size or age....those who can usually are trained in the mindset to never fight unless they are forced to....u can tell in the first 5 seconds if the person knows any style or not...if u see evidence of experience be careful.....all u need is a few good takedowns, counters to popular attacks, and how to put the hurt on once you have control....it is very effective....you can usually make them submit without having to tear them up. If you get caught there wont be bruises and blood everywhere (usually)...usually both parties leave the scene unscathed...a point is a point. U dont have to send the dude to the hospital for it....and if u do damage that is seen publicly, many people, especially women wont like you for a while....
