Yeah. I go to a racist school (and I mean racist for every race, not just white people since... I don't think you can be racist against whit… moree people. I think it's just racial prejudice, but it's not my place to speak) and your race matters to a lot of kids.
My chubbiness is my own fault most of the time. Other parts are just genetic. :P School's homophobic as well, so that sucks pretty badly.
And I just try to avoid saying that something is racist, because I doubt I really know what true racism is. It could always be worse, I suppose. So many people have racism a LOT worse than I would.
It really does.

I haven't had many bullying experiences (mostly because I tend to avoid social contact in general, and am ignorant to what others say mostly), but one time when I was very young, I remember going to this daycare and the kids there called me "bubble face" because I had big cheeks. Strangely enough, my mother doesn't recall sending to the daycare I described, which is weird since I clearly remember the name calling and the place...
I was also a subject of gossip. From what I found out it was pretty minor, but when I found out about it... I just wanted someone dead. That isn't like me. Thankfully the situation handled itself out.
Alright, I'm going to share this, whether I regret this or not.
I was a quiet kid during middle school, minded my own business and everyt… morehing. But I suppose qualities like that just isn't enough for kids to leave you alone, now ain't it?
8th grade was hell for me in particular, it seemed that nearly the entirety of the 8th grade made fun of me just because they thought I was weird, or hated me for non-legitimate reasons. I remember this one girl faked on being in love with me and spread rumors that I was in a relationship with her. There was even this kid that walked up to me in the halls every fucking day and talked to me like I was a special needs kid, plus he annoyed me with the whole fake relationship thing. Eventually, it got to the point where she did something uncomfortable to me, in which I told a teacher about, which led to that girl's suspension.
I also remember certain kids that seemed nice to talk to at first, a couple of… [view original content]

I'm sorry you've been hurt your entire life, and been trained not to call attention to it when someone is abusing you.
There's something you can do now, and 20 is right about the time it happens. People around you have grown up, and the vast majority of them don't want to hurt you. But the skills you've learned to cope are pushing them away. People don't get insanely jealous of good students at that age, unless you're wrecking the curve and making them look bad. But if you don't smile at them or talk to them or assure them they have some good things going on, too, well, they'll assume you don't like them. And you'll assume they don't like you, and you wind up with no real life friends.
Try this. Find another girl in your class who isn't too vicious. Tell her you like her earrings (or whatever, something she had a choice about), and ask where she got them. See what happens.
I get bullied all of the time for stupid reasons.
Of my various nicknames, my favorite is, "Slave Owner" because it's the stupidest. Also… more, "White bitch" and "slutty d-ke".
I remember getting bullied for my weight when I was in elementary school. I have physical issues that cause my weight to change rapidly and I used to get made fun of because I'm overweight - but I've always been overweight. And besides, guys (and my female crushes) like pudgy girls.
I never had a bullying problem back in my school days, probably because if someone started messing with me I would just hit them back. Didn't matter how much bigger or stronger they were. Also, I suspect several classmates were scared I might bomb the school or something.
That's funny - I've had similar things happen where I remember something that my parents don't. Like I remember being in certain places at certain times when my parents don't remember ever taking or sending me there, and also people I've met but my parents have never heard of (like teachers).

Transferring Kenny fan from the TWD section in 3.... 2.... 1....
Hey. I've gone through school for most of my life with little to no frie… morends. I'm pretty quiet. I'd go as far to say that I'm mute. I talk to teachers but I'm not confortabke around other kids. There are kids that have tried to come on to me. You know, pretended to love me. I thought I could handle it all... Being alone... It's tough going through life without people you can trust. So I'm going to say something really personal. I have this condition... That means I have short arms. My arms are like, one hand shorter than someone else's. So this attracted unwanted attention... And people started calling me T-Rex. Cause they have short arms. These people, they may think it's funny, but it's not. It hurts. I have suffered with this condition my entire life. My left arm is crooked. The wrist is sticking out while my hand bends to the side. And my arms hurt. Especially the left.

Now I watched a movie like that in 8th grade but ours was more of a comedy based on the bad acting so we might've seen different ones. However, yes, bullying is pretty bad.
Been giving and getting my entire life. I believe that I want to give back what the world gives me if it gives me shit its gonna get it back 10 fold. What can I say? Life is a cunt and it always will be. I don't believe I will go to hell for any wrong I do because I'm living in it now and am comfortable with it. Unlike the Paladin I'm not going to change who I am to prove to others I am worthy of being on this rock hard ball of shit people call Earth. I know at the end of the day I'm a "bad person" or "evil" or whatever the fuck you wanna call me I am who I am. I don't go out starting problems (well not that much) but if someone crosses me they're going to feel it
I think it comes from pain people feel. It could be possible that some people, when they feel pain, wether it's physical or physiological, they feel that others don't understand what they're going through, and they want them to feel that pain and suffering. I've heard of cases of that happening before, when someone is bullied and becomes very hostile towards others.

Flog if someone attacks you then you should have permission to defend yourself, in reason of course. If some punches you then you do not have permission to kill them.
In any case, I'm willing to bet if the event happened exactly as he described, the school would have penalised the chidl with the knife far more strongly, considering it's illegal to bring a knife into a school.

Oh yes, they would. However at the time someone was trying to kill him so he has all right to disarm him and defend himself until authority arrived. The sad thing is that he would still get in trouble for defending himself.
I suppose. Not sure.

The one I watched was following a bunch of students who are bullied. This camera crew just filmed everything what happens to them. I've never seen anything like that in where I live.

I never said it was, I'm not saying people should always fight however we should have the ability to defend ourselves if we need to. We shouldn't punish someone for defending themselves within reason. We shouldn't always fight it out but we shouldn't stop someone from defending themselves if they need to.

My parents are both very damaged people, they were abused when they were kids and have unresolved anger issues. When we were little they used to take it out on me and my brother (but mostly me because I was older). They'd hit me, grab my arms and shake me (their grip was so strong I was always surprised my arms didn't break), throw me to the floor and scream horrible things at me. When you're a kid your parents are your whole world, and when they tell you that you're stupid, worthless, hateful, hideous and they wish you'd never been born, it stays with you and you take it personally no matter what actually made them angry in the first place. In primary school I was also bullied by people who I firmly believed were my friends; they took advantage of my low self-esteem and desire to be accepted and made my school life miserable.
My home life had made me believe that I didn't deserve any better, so I never complained. I've grown up having a deep-seated belief that nobody loves me, not even my parents. It's not as though things have gotten much better since I've become a teenager; our whole family is still very hostile and frankly, I have no love or affection for any of the people I live with. My parents still harass me and punish me for speaking my mind, though I have gotten better and standing up for myself over the years.
As a result I now have major trust issues, I suffer from chronic anxiety, PTSD and depression and show signs of a developing personality disorder. I've become a very cold, isolated person, my grades are going down the pan and I can feel myself spinning out of control but I have no idea how to stop it. I'm at a time in my life when I'm figuring out my own identity, and I don't want this shit to define me, I don't want it to change who I am so much that I can barely recognise myself. All my life I've been resisting going under, but now it almost feels as though I'm finally surrendering to it. I've always just carried on and acted as though it wasn't happening, faking being cheerful and happy until I convinced myself that's what I was. Now, I'm wondering why I'm even bothering.
Just 1-4th grade there were a few unfriendly kids in my class one was just a freaking asshole i was a sensitive kid in my early years and one time he locked me in the bathroom, not really locked me he was just holding the door so i couldn't get out and well my dad was coming to pick me up at the time and when i got out and told him he rekt that kid
Bullying can seriously damage people, I was bullied only mentally in primary school but it still bugs me... my only guilt was being normal. And by normal I mean I didn't drink or smoke and my grades were good. My "friends" got drunk every week and were smoking at the age of 13 which I found really stupid (and I still do). So my 2 "best friends" turned on me and after that the whole class started to either ignore me or picking on me, I became an outcast for no good reason. It's been 10 years but I still remember how miserable I felt and I don't really know why they did that. I've never wronged anyone in my life. No matter what you do you can become a victim of bullying any time. I try to convince myself that it was a life-lesson, and I should learn from it. I choose my friends more wisely and i only trust a handful of people.

It really does.

Kids! What to do about kids these days...
Kenny bros for life...
That's good that it all settled out, ummm I'm glad you didn't kill anybody!

Yeah it was quite bad.
I have to agree. Women starving themselves to stay thin is really unappealing.
Not a whole lot to make them not resort to bullying, unfortunately.
I never had a bullying problem back in my school days, probably because if someone started messing with me I would just hit them back. Didn't matter how much bigger or stronger they were. Also, I suspect several classmates were scared I might bomb the school or something.

I know in some way what you are going through man. I'm sure you are a cool person.
Its pathetic.
Im 14, ive been teased constantly since i was 9 or 10 i am in highschool now so it isnt as often still bugs me though.
Andddd i was making an Annie reference, but I know how you feel.
Oops, sorry for making it seem awkward, lol.
Just watched a document "Bully" from Netflix. I didn't know shit was that fucked up in US. But damn, it must be hard![:\](https://community.telltale.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Honestly, I've never bullied anyone
I personally never saw the point in doing so, as a kid.
And I don't see the point now, as an adult.

Whatever you think is best, but please, don't give it to people who don't deserve it.
No it isn't. It's a mental disorder.
They aren't pathetic because it's not a choice. They're ill and need help.
People with social anxiety aren't pathetic for feeling unable to socialise in big groups.
A kid at school once tried to attack me with a knife, and he strangled me. I kicked him, yet I got sent to the principal's office anyway.
Schools have a bad way of teaching right and wrong for fighting. They teach that self defense is wrong.
Most examples people give of violent self-defence ARE wrong.

Because violence isn't the default option one should take?
