Been there done that?

been in so many places and weird situations, it never ends.

Or you can just not make yourself a target. That always works too. That was my method.

If I was weird it wasn't because I was trying to be different or trying "to be an individual". I got bullied plenty but I dealt with it, because everyone gets bullied.

That being said, the whole suicide thing thats going around is pretty ridiculous, and I commend you for your post.

At one point in High School I moved and switched schools. I acted different because nobody knew me, and thus became super popular. Now if anybody has that option, I highly recommend it.

I ended up going to a private school before moving into middle/high school. Otherwise it's pretty much the same thing you just posted. All of my bullying happened before 6th grade - but I remember most of it pretty quickly, and admittedly, it mostly all happened because of how I was acting, or things I was saying.

wait...u stabed a guy for bullin you...i just fucken would walk away..but i dun get teased any more..everyone at my highschool thinks im straight(im not) and im populare caus i used to skate

He was 2x my size and was choking me (i was completely lifted off ground) my hand found it's way into cargo shorts pocket and BAM, reflex action. Then run run run.

ROFL, that sounds so deviously brilliant XD

Hahaha, now if only I had tried that =P

LOLZ, I remember seeing a comic like that (some Far Side rip-off comic) where the kid walks down the hall loaded up with every piece of sporting equipment, guitar, skateboard, calculator, and mismatched scene-appropriate clothing. "he tried hard not to fit in too closely with any particular social group".

I agree. Some kids are just pussies. If you're so emo and pathetic you need to kill yourself because of what others say or do to you, you were probably too stupid to live anyway. Bravo, good sir.

I saw that last guy a few years later. He was surprising polite.

Haha, I bet XD

i got past that when i started wearing a trench coat and bandanna to high school.

nobody would come near me XD

That'll do it! I graduated HS before Columbine, so it wouldn't have quite had the same effect.

i graduated several years after columbine

amazing how much a coat freaks people out now.

hmm, the last dude who tried that with me stopped after a certain problem... In his nose.

BAM!

Yea, that kind of problems.

A senior in high school when I was in 8th grade. He also threw a crippled kids crutches out the emergency door on the bus as it went down the road.

ok that dude diffently deserved the knife in his lung...thats just fucked up

HS = high school, and Douche is a derogatory term for a person, technically a word for a feminine hygiene product.

C'mon muir, passive aggressive is the new thing :3 like pepper spray in te football team's water supply ;3

how about the football team's jock straps

Too common, EVERYONE goes for the straps. I like the pain to be on the inside.... Literally :p

I could make a really bad joke about that. I was dating a guy on the football team senior year, we were "out".

facedesk with internally stiffled laughs* X3

My thoughts on any suicide... If you commit it I'm not going to give a shit about you nor am I going to even try to mourn or remember you in the future. You killed yourself that means you thought your life was nothing, why should I believe your life ment anything? In all technicallity I'm respecting the one that kills themself more by not acknowledging their exsistance in my life.

There is an epidemic in my family with suicide. Enough that everyone calls it the "family curse". What I have learned from it, the ones who actually kill themselves never let on, it's a huge shock. Those who would whine the most for attention never actually do it, so if I emo whine on journals from time to time, I can too beat curse.

If I had the gumption and opportunity, "Columbine" would have happened 10 years sooner, and it would've been called "Gallup" instead.

It will always be somewhere. We live in a society where the actual schoolwork is the very least of our worries in the school experience.

I always made it a point to fight the bullies back. In some cases, where they messed with my friends, they got their ass beat! :p

I thought you gave them AR weed and dragged them off for spankings and sissification.

lol every single one of you would wind up dating bubba here for some of the comments....

or the way things are going, get you shot and beaten by the bully's possie while walking to school

Here if you injure the bully worsse than the bully injures you, guess who winds up in jail and kicked out of school...

You do...

Not the bully

especially if said bully is the son of the superintendent or principle or trustee, may or any other protected person (which they usually are)

Its called covering your ass using reasonable force (make sure the person isn't killed cause lifelong solitary confinement ain't fun), and having a good lawyer.

Cause anything less doesn't work anymore or just makes it worse and begets worse and worse violence.

The legal end may have changed here as well with time, but at age 13 back then, there was no risk of real jail (although a couple of my friends got the dreaded "juvenile hall.") For me it was psychological evaluation and suspension.

The truth of the matter is, that little poke was absolutely nothing compared to things that were to come. I only speak of it now because it was a turning point, where I snapped inside and made a conscious decision to no longer be a victim.

different situations I guess,

As young as 13/14 I was pretty much told that If i ever even gave someone as much as a nosebleed I would be facing assault charges, provoked or not then expelled/punished accordingly. Irregardless of having to endure the process of being charged and the consequences after (which was as you said or even lock up) it was enough of a deterrent to me. I was forced to really learn the laws and guidelines of HOW to resolve physical situations without crossing the line 9and it worked alot better than just returning the favour).

Here even people as young as 16 do spend time in adult lock up, several of my "roommates" at that time did and wound up with serious injuries during their stays. My roomates were also capable of SERIOUS retaliation so I had to walk a fine line, several of them had 5 or 6 assault and battery convictions on them already and many were considered "dangerous". Should I have ever provoked them or got back like you did, I wouldn't be here writing this. I would have been 6 feet in the grave with a bullet in the head or a slit throat.

When the adults both had the power to, the knowledge to file charges and get convictions, and were former guards at a medium security Juvenile detention facility - you listen because they know the laws and you don't. The courts 9 times out of 10 would listen to those poeple over you no matter what your lawyer (if you had one did). So it was pretty much a guarantee of a conviction if you even raised a single finger in self defence. The consequences were determined by the severity of course but having a black mark well yeah, its pretty much over until your 25 for anything in life.


Even know as an adult in canada its the same way unless you have a damn good reason to (or a damn good lawyer)

The rules have ALWAYS reflected the criminal codes when it comes to school fights and other issues. that has been prior to the SSA and anything else in the new millennium.

That is absolutely beautiful. Leopard bro's rage is pure poetry.
