I was bullied once in high school when I was a freshman. A fight broke and we both went to the principal's office. When the principal saw us he asked the senior who bullied me how did the freshman kick his ass? I was never bullied again in high school.

Common, being afraid to go to school for fear of a team of hooligans might kick your ass or piss on you in gym class is not part of socializing. That shit does not happen in adult life. That isn't preparing anybody for anything.

Any of that would most definitely qualify as a strike under the Matty Rain regime.

There seems to be a tendency for schools and teachers to downplay problem bullying.
 
This is an interesting thread.

My youngest boy started grade primary (age 5) this year and I often try to find ways to ask if things are ok and if he`s being picked on. I think I`m taking the wrong approach because when I open my mouth at night he know what I am going to ask him. He mentioned that an older boy was telling him to shut up in an angry voice last week so I have to keep my eye on things. I`ve actually looked into putting him in Taekwondo classes or some form of self defense course, but he`s already in hockey on Sat and Sun so I don`t want to push to many extra curricular activities on him. I guess bullies are everywhere......school, workplace etc., but it`s pretty sad to hear someone has taken their own life becasue they were being bullied. Sad shit!!
 
Let's go guys.

Share your worst bullying story.

And then we can think of how distinctly we can remember it X yrs later when most of us can't even remember what we ate for dinner last night.

Go.

And then tell me this shit doesn't matter ffs.
 
I was someone who was ridiculed all throughout my school years. I was never bullied but obviously being the fat kid I was open game for what comes with those who look down on it. Sure, most of it comes from trying to fit in, some of it comes from personal insecurities and a small part comes from actual dislike or even hate for something that is different.

I didn't have a support system but I wasn't a depressed personality type back in those days either. Also I wasn't a violent person so it wasn't like I was threatening headbutts back then either. I deflected some but mostly I guess I was strong enough to handle it. However we are just talking about being fat.

I don't know how it would be handled with being gay. I also can't say how strong I could have been if the jeers and ridicule had been physical.




Boner, I think I get what you are saying but even if someone is openly gay, unless they are hands-on about it I'm not sure how they culpable for the torment of bullies.
 
IMO

navigating 99.7% ofbullies in school is actually a healthy part of growing up for 90% of youth...

When you grow up, the bullies use fists, wedgies, flat out insults, embarrassment in front of class mate tools.... they use equally scary tools or fear of being fired, snide remarks, fear of being alone, embarrassment in front of co-workers, self-doubt ect



there are many responses in both realms... we try them out in youth and figure out what works best for us... ie... telling mom/mall cop or putting kitchen utensils near our dirty feet, still others like to tell loose gambling forum chicks to die and fuck off ect..

life is complex

no simple answers
 
Fuck man, I just re-read this thread properly and it's made me upset.

For those of you who think is this preparing kids for real life: We know each other via an online forum(s). We're all fucked up. Every single one of us got bullied and anyone who says they didn't, then I'll either say you're lying or you're better than us and don't belong here.

WTF guys. Being horrid to someone else doesn't prepare them for shit other than how to maybe protect themselves if they have the mental faculties to do it. Maybe. I can't believe this shit I've read here.
 
its not preparation.....

IT IS LIFE

LIFE SUCKS...

its just reality..... schools, parents, ect can do the best to shelter the shittiness of life from kids... who are the ones that get hit the hardest...

but its an inexact science, and like boner said... the fingers need to be pointed in more directions than I have fingers.. WE ARE ALL GUILTY.

No one is advocating bullying Oksie.

Yeah, but you kind of are. "High school, like college, like the workplace, is equal parts learning/working and socializing."

Even with your pts system after, you must realise that not every kid has it in them to fight this shit off. Us as late 20+ and 30+ yo can say whatever... I know how it felt when I was getting reamed and I was a golden child as far as the average things to bully someone about were concerned. What if you didn't have a strong family, great friends, etc,... Whatever matters these days.

These are kids. No matter what anyone says, they're kids. Paraphrasing fivey: Every child should be able to go to school safely. Full f'n stop. Do any of us have a fear of going to work? Oh yeah, some do... but our high school warfare should've prepared us for those bullying situations.

Common. Not everyone is built the same and not everyone ends up in a safe work environment. Children having spats is one thing - kids being tormented is another and I'd try to kill someone if they did it to my son.
 
what is the solution oxy?

if you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem...

this hits you and people like Senco, and Durito hardest at gamelive....I'm curious...how do you plan to deal with this.

you don't think that since Columbine that schools have been way super sensitive and heightened to bullying?

its not about a lack of awareness of the problem....


but to deny the problem and pretend like it will be all candy canes and lollipops for any kids anywhere and say that, hey Darwin had some things right.....

is quixotic to me



like Matty is saying.... its just a FACT OF LIFE. human nature.....
 
I was sorta of anti-bully at my highschool -- could never just walk away from someone getting bullied -- got my ass kicked plenty of times for it too.

Only personal experience I have was early in my Freshman year. I approached some dimebag dealer about skimping me, basically telling him to meet me after school by our house so we could settle it 1 on 1( we lived close by). He agreed and when I showed up there was about 12 crips that all jumped me and a friend--had to get 9 stitches on the back of my head. For the next 2 months I had nothing but wannabe gangsters trying to play in my face. Eventually switched schools but those 2 months were pretty bad. My uncle gave me a butterfly knife that I carried to school everyday.
