Responding to Bullying


Have you ever been bullied; how did you take it, did you stand up for yourself or feel unable to defend yourself......



.....whether in the playground at school, being taunted for your braces, at work, or in other situations as an adult.... physical/ verbal or emotional.



What did you learn about yourself as a result, and about the bullies



~ semi-disclaimer : if this stuff is too personal, feel free to speak more generally, or stay away from the je altogether ~

Very well said Labs. Too tired to look for a crack in your commentary and abuse you. :*

yeah i have seen examples of most of those:

bullying to gain recognition, being a leader, attention seeking, an inferiority complex which makes you want to dominate to compensate, and jealousy leading to you wanting to take the other person down a peg or two

All I can say is that it was traumatic and horrible... I was in that neighborhood from grades 1-5, I'm glad my family moved out of that area.

it's interesting how big people don't realise that they hurt little people with their shoves and such...

when someone grabs me by my arm, and i let out a little yelp, they tend to think i'm joking

er...no it actually bloody hurts, i might have a bruise, and if i do i'll sue u.....

who's laughing now????
