If you're being physically bullied, lift some weights, learn how to throw a punch, and then after a few months punch the bully's face in.
Childish nonsense. I believed like that until I went to California.
What if the bully has six of his friends? What if the bully is carrying a 9mm and has no problem blowing your brains out? What if they all have guns and have no problem blowing your brains out for the color of your shirt much less you personally?

well I spent to much time in cali, and they like letting lawyers talk for them, so for people being bullied, I say sue the parents of the kids doing the bullying.
There you go.

That was my Mums biggest fear if i retaliated in bullying. Like i said, lotsa sport star hopped up on roids( its actually common in cali)
School bullyism is no-kay anymore.
OK my mon is 'educational supervisor' and she strongly speak against bullyism. an Indianapolitan teacher .. who also attended a conference as a lecturer. is working on her (a teacher is a woman yes!) crusade against bullyism
1. It leads to gangsterism once those kids grown ups. for a kid(s) (usually boys) who is (are) in dominance position, one (they) form(s) a gang of school kids and make other schoolmate lives harder. You can say that once those kids went out of school, they are usually parted. but gang experience goes with them
2. A victim (usually) losts his/her willingness to study. all he/she is worrying about is how to get around a gang of bullyists, unless he/she is bold enough to witstand series of villanity bullyists keep throwing at him/her. he/she would either end up having a relatively bad finalscore at the end of a year. or would have to leave a school hoping to finda better one. or will accept violence as a means to survive. School gunfights as we known today might be an act of revenge carrying out against any bullyist. (sadly the casaulties always an innocent. bullyists would likely flee and cherishs!)
Ok since i'm a practitioner of a dharmic religion. bible discussion here is simply out of place for me.
Yeah, I have been both verbally bullied and people have actually tried to physically bully me. My father was in the US Army so we moved pretty much every 2-3 years. I went to 8 different schools growing up.
Now, I wasn't bullied at all of them and I only got into fights at one of them, but the fact is unless you're some kind of manchild ogre that scares adults when you're 12 or a athletic freak of nature that everyone loves, you are going to be at a minimum verbally insulted multiple times a year by someone. I don't think there is a name I haven't been called, but I don't go around sad because some little kid called me a homosexual back in 6th grade.

You weren't called homosexual all day, had people text you about it, post it all over your FB wall, leave notes on your locker/home door, get beat up for it, and other things.

So being called gay nearly every day for all of 6th grade by the same group of people is not bullying? Having people stand outside your window and yell obscenities at you is not bullying?

Well in my defense, "fire" was the new black when I was a youngin, much less the personal computer, the internet, or Facebook.

Seriously though, hasn't everyone? Is the history of fist fights involving anyone on this forum boiled down to the guy who is two inches taller and 20 lbs heavier always winning!? Its total nonsense.
Also, telling a kid to go kick feth out of someone isn't really sound advice. If said kid is quiet and the bully is in a gang and is extremely popular, then even if you win your going to lose eventually.
Basically, its kids stuff, and it ends when you grow up. Just try not to let it upset you, and get on with your life. And if it is genuinely serious, then report it as such and make the point specifically to your parents and teachers than you feel it is affecting your health. In this day and age, full scale bullying isn't and shouldn't be tolerated.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Being one of the rough kids I never was bullied (I was 3rd on the rank table as well till I got kicked to gak by 4th! ) but I can imagine how bad it must feel. I was a rough and tumble kid but I felt genuinely sorry for some of the kids that were endlessly harried.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
Details are not really necessary. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me at first, but after a while I stopped caring and I actually started to find it funny after one of those kids tried to jump me (11 year old middle class white kids fighting is hilarious).
Looking back at it, a lot of the stuff was completely inane and somewhat funny. I got made fun of for being tall, being white, being blonde, having 'pretty eyes', being gay, and funniest of all is back in 6th grade most people actually considered it insulting to accuse someone of masturbating or having a large member.

Most bullies, outside of very violent communities, are actually physically weak and rely solely on useless size and aggressiveness to intimidate people. Unless you're being bullied by some 6'4 monstrosity then learning to fight and building some muscle will help.

Unfortunately, it's not all just kid stuff, and it doesn't end when you grow up, it ends when you stand up for yourself. You don't have to go out to mess someone up, but you do have to stand up for yourself.

I wasn't a big hard kid, and I was bullied, until the day I pushed back. And then it stopped. And that's how it always stops. Except for those who are too weak to push back. Being bullied happens to most people, and it's part of learning how to be yourself. It makes you stronger in the long run. Maybe you get a bloody lip or a few bruises - but it'll be the last time.
One of my favourite stories along this subject actually comes form the Bulls championship team. Quoting from the story as told on mentalfloss:
Although Jordan and Kerr were teammates on the second great Bulls championship run from 1996 to 1998, they didn’t always get along. Kerr and Jordan didn’t agree on the best solution to the labor woes that plagued the NBA at the time, and Kerr felt the other Bulls were too deferential to Jordan. It didn’t help that the two guards often defended each other in practice. At one particularly frisky scrimmage in 1995 the two players began pushing off of each other, and eventually Kerr decided he’d had enough and came up swinging. As Kerr later put it, “I knew I had two choices. Either let it go and be obedient to Michael forever, or fight and probably get my ass kicked. I picked a real winner for my adult fighting debut.”
Jordan gave Kerr a black eye in the dustup, but His Airness was quick to reconcile with the sharpshooter. By the time Kerr got home, Jordan had left an apologetic answering machine message, and the two got along swimmingly after that.

No, you stand your ground, you fight back. And maybe you get a little hurt. But they're preying on your fear, and you running just continues the problem. You show them you're not afraid to get hurt, and even give a little back, and they'll find someone else to mess with.

They can feel just the same when you are a kid. Now verbal insults are nothing, but whne you are young and just want to fit in? they are everything.
I bet if you lok back you might find you felt the same way,

Trust me. I've been in that situation.

Here's a great rule: If you take what you say and substitute out one noun for another and would then not want to say it in front of your grandmother, its bashing.
And here's the special problem.
1. It was on a seminar about bullys
2. It was public school kids across the nation, not some private event of fellow talking heads.
A. Instead of discussing bullying he launches into a tirade about Christianity and the Bible in front of high school kids.
B. When public high school students started walk out he called them "pansy-assed."
To steal a quote from another blogger : Using profanity to deride the bible – and then mocking the Christian students after they left the room — is obviously a form of bullying and name-calling."
1. http://www.studentpress.org/nspa/ it was a seminar on anti gay bullying. "Mr. Dan Savage had been invited to share with students the power of social media in today's world as well as speak about the problem of bullying of gay youth, an issue all too familiar in many American schools"
A: as the bible is the most quoted source for anti gay bullying, it is a valid and a major topic. Pointing out all the other parts of the bible that are ignored today and asking to ignore one more part is not bashing christians.
All the kids that walked out, went to this event just so they could walk out on dan savage. it didn't matter at all to them what he had to say, even if he was more polite than the Dalai Lama they still would have left. Savage lost his composure though, but that doesn't make his argument invalid. It just gives christians a reason to ignore him, instead of reflecting on what he actually said.

No, you stand your ground, you fight back. And maybe you get a little hurt. But they're preying on your fear, and you running just continues the problem. You show them you're not afraid to get hurt, and even give a little back, and they'll find someone else to mess with.
or alternatively they put you in the hospital. It depends on the situation. If they have a rep for that, standing up without evening the issue is bad. If they don't have a rep for that, the Redbeard is right (edited its not Chowderhead's post but I'm still going to type ITS PRONOUNCED CHOWDAH!!!).

Here's a great rule: If you take what you say and substitute out one noun for another and would then not want to say it in front of your grandmother, its bashing.
And here's the special problem. 1. It was on a seminar about bullys 2. It was public school kids across the nation, not some private event of fellow talking heads.
A. Instead of discussing bullying he launches into a tirade about Christianity and the Bible in front of high school kids.
B. When public high school students started walk out he called them "pansy-assed."
To steal a quote from another blogger : Using profanity to deride the bible – and then mocking the Christian students after they left the room — is obviously a form of bullying and name-calling."
1. http://www.studentpress.org/nspa/ it was a seminar on anti gay bullying. "Mr. Dan Savage had been invited to share with students the power of social media in today's world as well as speak about the problem of bullying of gay youth, an issue all too familiar in many American schools"
Nowhere in there does it say "He also will tear apart the Bible."
A: as the bible is the most quoted source for anti gay bullying, it is a valid and a major topic. Pointing out all the other parts of the bible that are ignored today and asking to ignore one more part is not bashing christians.
It's also the fact that he ranted on this, as opposed to talking about it like a sane man.
All the kids that walked out, went to this event just so they could walk out on dan savage.
Sauce Please.

Every Normal Man Must Be Tempted At Times To Spit On His Hands, Hoist That Black Flag, And Begin Slitting Throats.
Just watched the Savage video. He is in the right. Im christian and i stop listening to the bible years ago.
Pastors are no longer about loving fellow man, its getting people riled up.
That and the church demands money of me, im running out of excuses not to give.

And to people who say its just part of growing up? Why the hack should it be? Yes a good amount of hazing is ok. But if you are like me, bullied where they turned all your friends against you and nearly drove you to suicide, is to much. We need to punish billies and not just forget about it because they are a star on the wrestling team or football.
So get a dumbell and bash their heads in. Humanity is a primal species that only respects strength.
I have sympathy for the victims of bullying but there is a way out - become a hard bastard.
Yup. Doesn't take a lot of skill to give someone not expecting it a face full of locker.
It also doesn't take much for the guy who you gave a face full of locker to beat the gak out of you and torture you online with his friends.
If you leave his face a bloody, messy pulp, he won't ever feth with you again.
Just saying.
Ever thought 40k would be a lot better with bears?
