The thing is.. Multistrikers opinion is bullying within itself. You used trigger words that stimulate thoughts, "Fat, zits," and other words that make people feel uncomfortable. Just because you are, "Defending them," does not mean you should use the same terminology as the aggressor/bullier. What people do not understand is that bullying happens every day and people don't notice it. Everyone is constantly judging, and if you say you're the only except, you're full horse shit or a liar. Bullying should not be tolerated. Even amongst friends bullying happens. "You're fat. You're gay. That shirt looks stupid. Do you even think? Are you stupid?" All these things I have said before and have said recently. I have been doing my best to stop saying all of that. While you might be joking, the other person may not believe you. They may take it to heart. Bullying is indeed a serious thing and I'm sad that this thread was not more informing. Cyber bullying, mental bullying, physical bullying, emotional bullying, social bullying, etc. There are many things we do and don't know about each other. "Don't assume and don't make fun."
dang thats so sad im sorry to hear that. Goshhh thats sad i got bullied when i was in 3rd grade. My mom found out and went to the school and scared the shit out of that girl. She left me alone after that we became cool. My mom would say if u let somebody beat ur ass ima beat ur ass and send u back out and u better beat there ass. After that i never let nobody bully me. I fought plenty people bigger than me. I beat that ass too lol. I dont know why people do it but its not cool and needs to stop. Smh sad
SpitFire, I know you're trying really hard to be funny or raise a point, but there is a time where it becomes inappropriate.. such as now
I'm being serous, sometimes people just need a taste of their OWN medicine. If you can understand how another person is feeling, chances are you won't bully them.
That's not true at all. You don't need to undergo that pain to understand that it hurts. If your buddy gets shot in combat, you aren't going to shoot yourself in the chest to join the pity party and play along. You drag your buddy out of the combat zone, in this case..bully zone, and put them in a safe environment and take care of them the best you can. Don't pretend to be a doctor and give shit advice either. The buddy system always works. Always be with someone who is being bullied or potentially at risk of suicide
Meh what striker said was fine and guess what ppl do see ppl as the "fat kid" or the "kid with zits" we are human not robots we are hard wired to be asses
We're all driven by an innate need to compete with each other.. On top of that, we all have some insecurities.. Those two factors combined leads to bullying.. If you can mask your insecurities at the expense of someone less fortunate than yourself, then you're not at the bottom of the food chain.. It's still pretty sad, and it worries me that as face to face interaction decreases, so does empathy..
Bullies have 2 reasons why they do bully that I've heard of commonly. One is that they do it to let out their anger. They have something bad going on in their lives they take it out on someone and/or something. Second one is to feel better about themselves, like crabs in a bucket. The crabs climb to the top and when one reaches the top, the others pull em right back down. The best way to stop this is to put on a poker face. Show them you're unbreakable and they will get angry they didn't achieve their goal of making you feel low. There are many more to this but yeh.
Being picked on as a kid was a huge learning experience for me growing up.. I learned that any aggressor is brutally full of their own insecurities, also the sooner you learn to laugh at yourself the sooner others will stop laughing at you. And if you wanna fight back just observe a few of your aggressors weaknesses and exploit them. You will go from underdog to top dog! Lol
My teacher told us that at her old school, she was bullied by fellow staff members. She said she came home and cried every day. It's sad because she's really young, too. It just makes you realise how bullying can affect everyone.
I dont see a problem with bullying. It just seems like there is a lot of hype today because everyone is less strong willed. Back in the 1950's there was still Bullying. But back then nobody bitched about it. They stood up for themselves and kicked ass. So to bring back our strong emotional walls, bully on people.
I left my job once because my colleagues kept calling me 'white girl', as I was the only white employee.
