Frankly, I never had any bullies, as I simply went back in time and killed their parents.

If you keep hearing it from multiple people over the course of several years while your conciousness is forming? Yes. That sort of stuff can destroy lives.

My bullies don't bully me anymore, It might have something to do with being taller then most of them, weighing over 15 kilograms (not sure if that is a lot, but I am only 15) and hanging out with the emo martial arts crew. So, all good

Sorry, miffed at someone calling teachers "feeble" for saying "Just ignore it" about some gaks destroying their property outside of school.

No teacher I know, or have heard of would say "just ignore it" for that. They would say "Why the feth haven't you phoned the police?".

When teachers have said "ignore it" is to simple name calling, though that's something I would also disagree with. I would lovingly punish students for pulling crap like that, let alone when it comes to physical violence. I fething detest bullying, as someone who went through it for many years due to being a fat kid with zero interest in sports and a love of MMO's and models

Are you sure you weigh 33lb?

Dude if you are 15 kilograms you are probably dead.

15kg is about two stone.

Err...no, that's not a lot. 15 kg is the weight of your average 3-year-old.

...I find myself wandering how many of those who are "bullied" IRL go on to " bully" others via the "safety" of the interwebs..using their " superior intelligence" and Snarkiness...as their " fist"..oh where does the cycle end.?

I try to treat others the way I want to be treated, so if you're an attractive lady expect frequent back massages.

It happens more often that one would think. A girl at a school maybe 20minutes down the road from me commited suicide because of cyberbullying.

As for "Superior Intelligence" remarks, it's a form of ITGS

Suppose the name-calling doesn't stop and the teachers still spout stuff like "ignore it"?

Yeah, I don't really consider myself superior or inferior to anyone we all have our strengths and weaknesses, having certain ones over another doesn't make you a better person.

Back Messages?....I'll assume you meant Massages...of course I could be wrong.

@ Chowder..ITGS?...I've no idea what that even means...was I just bullied?

Typo, going to fix that so I don't get cyber-bullied.

Then their hands are either tied and they're doing things wrong, or they're just doing things wrong. The only time I've found saying "Just ignore it" to be acceptable is when I then go to the guy doing it and verbally ream them with a large, lovingly described pointy stick. Verbally of course, we can get fired after all.

Being forced to do the wrong thing for "School Policy" or "School Politics" does my head in. If you want, I can share a story about a lecturer I know, and the damage her "Verbal" bullying to her students caused, but in PM only I'm afraid.

ITGS: Internet Tough Guy Syndrome.

The number of, 'So I was bullied my whole life with people throwing jellied eels at me and children spitting at me every time I passed in the street, until I turned massive and worked out and went after them all with lead pipes and I'm so hard now' stories in this thread are amusing.

Not to say it doesn't happen, but I may take with a pinch of salt. I happen to remember one other chap who even made a multi-account to post about how amazing he was in fights, so I tend to take stuff like this posted on the web a bit less seriously than I might otherwise do.


Except for Matty's. Having met him, I believe him.

... Oh, I see...I wasn't so much referring to " Tough guy" posturing, but more the " look how much more I know about everything than everyone else...that you don't know hahaha" contigency that seem to wander the webs, perhaps it's just my misinterpetations of certain situations ...but that seems to be a sort of " overcompensation" bullying...in some cases.

But anybody can become an expert on any internet topic at hand through Google, even I'm guilty of that.

See...this could be construde as a type of " bullying" as it eludes that anyone who says they themselves stood up to a bully is somehow "lying" or posturing...

But clearly there is a differance in simply googling a topic and " claiming" knowledge of that topic...and driving a point home over and over again...isn't there?
I mean...we've all seen various people berate others at one time or the other on various sites for their " lack of knowledge"...it may be veiled at times...but it happens.

*shrugs*

It's true and happens to an extent. I got bullied and got into plenty of the old bouts of fisticuffs in order to change that. I just don't necessarily buy some of the tales here, due to some of it reading like Mat Ward fluff.

And if my doubting that some of the stories here are true is bullying, than I must accuse you of bullying me sir, because you are alluding that anyone who hints at disbelief is something socially undesirable (a bully).

I know I am 15 something, how much is 15 stone, it might be that

Good old "Stone". 15 stone is 95 kilograms.

DukeBadham wrote:I know I am 15 something, how much is 15 stone, it might be that

Well, to put it in perspective, I'm quite a broad man of the exact average male height, and I weigh thirteen stone.

yeah, I'm around 15 stone, I get it from my dad, he is 6'7-ish and weigh about 27 stone

So long as you're tall it's fine!

When you're short and fat, it gets to be a problem.

Sir, I believe the only way we can settle this endless charade of confusing counter-accusations is to spar! Under the Marquis of Fantailler's rules of course.
