Now that's just not true. I've had too many friends that took a stand and solved their own problem to believe that. Besides, after a scrap, the staff of the school (usually anyway) sits up and notices, depending on their competence, they will usually take the right action and punish the neer do wells.

Thats not smart. You solve the issue outside of schoo, not in school. School's freak out and over react now days, call cops and all kind of nonsense.

Some kid like a year younger than me in HS kept poking me in the gut (I'm a big guy). I took offense to that (he was obviously making fun of my weight). I told him to stop, and if he did it again he'd be sorry. He poked me again.

I turned around, and decked him in the face pretty hard. The principal just happened to see me do it, and yelled to stop it. I put my hands up and backed up, but the kid started screaming and yelling, and coming towards me. I kept backing off, hands in the air.

I told the principal he provoked me, and she was inclined to just let us both off with a warning, because our bus home had just got here, and I was being pretty calm about the whole thing. The other kid kept raging though. Eventually they threatened to call the cops on him, if he didn't get off the bus, because he wouldn't stop screaming and cursing at me the whole time. He ended up with a few days detention, I ended up feeling rather satisfied with the whole thing.

Plus you can bring weapons like a lead pipe, bicycle chain or a switch blade.

You want to stop a bully that comes from an abusive household, use the halonachos method and beat them with their own shoe. Worked for me because its rather silly when you get beaten with your own shoe. That was elementary school, in middle school I had this bully who tried to start crap by tossing a plastic trash can at me. I talked him well out of even looking at me funny simply by standing up right in front of him and looking down at his punk self. Then in highschool a bully had been messing with me by calling me fat and stuff on the bus, at this point I took out a five dollar bill and told him to get some clearasil for his connect a dot face.

So you can either fight with words, expressions, or fists, either way you should stand up to them.

Bike chains are vicious (motorcycle chain not some wussy offroad bicycle for girly boys).

Just go all Enders Game on that ass.

I'm quite disliked by the 'sporty dumb as gak' children, I'm pale, I don't do sport, I answer 'long' 'lectures' in history and I am a 'Smarticale particle', I dislike their 'Religious' thoughts and believe in evolution. Each of these factors drives these pathetic wastes of bone and whenever they make a sly, nasty comment I remember that these are the waste of society and are mere parasites, waste and dustmites. I see that their comments are flawed and how very stupid they are. Now I am not the best at maths or French but I still give answers in History and English while they fear the teacher picking them, and the funny thing is they consider a word of 5 letters big. I will always remember how pathetic bullies are, waste. Now remember these facts members of Dakka;

1: Bullies are pathetic and so is anyone who enjoys making others life difficult
2: They are mites, waste
3: If you must fight back, do so but verbally.

Its also a part of how you carry yourself, normally I'm a happy go lucky guy and I like to crack jokes and be merry. However I'll usually walk with my head up, and walk with a purpose(moderately fast) just to show that I know I'm the gak. People don't want to mess with someone who looks like they could win a fight.

Use your head, first outsmart them, so they find it troublesome to bully you, the, if that fails, use your head, and headbutt them.

Now I'd rather play with my toy soldiers.

Yeah, and soon as the bully can't beat you with words he beats you with what he knows best, his fists.

I once killed off three bullies, two bearcats, and manbearpig's older brother with nothing but a shoelace and a can of vienna sausage. Those sausages were just the ticket.

I tried out for the football team, but when you have a bum knee you can't really make the team. Especially if you already have knock knees.

I used to be bullied in school, well not as much bullying but got alot of comments about the my weight. Strangely it's never bothered me in the slightest, i have never been physically buillied but that might have something to do with the fact that im 6'3. My best advice is ignore it, people who feel the need to try and make you feel bad are not the kind of people who's opinion should matter to you, all ways remember you can't please everyone. If you ever get really down because of it, go outside for a walk in the fresh air and try and think about all the things that you like about yourself or that you are good at. Finally dont judge people to harshly for what they do they're most likely got problems of their own you just have to accept that you are better than that and remember dont give way to hating.

The thing I like about the bicycle chain is it's versatile you can wrap it around your fist like a make-shift brass knuckle, swing freely as a whip and it's flexible joints make its easy to wrap around your opponent's

neck for strangling purposes. Also the bicycle chain has the psychological factor too, because you can use it to hang the bullies corpse in front of the school in-order to install fear into other bullies.

You've not ever held a motorcycle chain then. They are heavy as . Plus you can use them for your bike.

Takes me back.

I wont tell you 90 percent of my stories, but I can say this.

so, I had a vey small circle of friends, only two of them went to my school and one of them was in the grade below me. one of my friends was called 'gay' and 'f@g' and other kinds of bs, at one point that dumped their school lunches down his shirt. the perpetrators live on the other side of my block and I just took it out of school. (They said plenty to me, but I can't stand people doing that to my buddies)

as of now, I am a pretty big guy, but back then, I was small and scrawny, wore glasses (not that dad sight and I don't wear them as much now though) but me and my (small) group of friends whiled away our time making weapons and practicing marshall arts, boxing, whatever forte each of us had gone through at any point. (street fighting from your's truly) so we got pretty mad at this and got them right back. I am slightly ashamed to say it was more for personal revenge than to get the point across, mainly because the 'getting back' involved sending a few blunt wood-tipped arrows their way while they rode past the woods on their bikes.

and then came that time when their feeble trap was sprung.
I was at home and ogling minis when the doorbell range, it was [name withheld] who had been not that bad, he said that the kid across the street was doing something s I asked what. He said.

"Uh...hes...eating...worms."

so I said I would be out in a minute and see what type of worms.

then I got a bunch of wet mud from the backyard 'bunker' I had been digging (more of a pit, about the size of a chunk of WWI trench)

and came around through the back.

sure enough, there were the three jerks, one had took off his shirt and had tied it around his head. (WTF?) so I shaped the mud into balls and let fly, that was fun.

I was talking about non-motorized bike chains mostly although motor bike chains might work too.

MUD BOMBS OF DEATH! RUN!

pretty nasty when they have rocks, trash and sticks in them, and you are minus your shirt.

We can't all be tragic heros who barely survived middle school and turned to drawing furries and writing Harry Potter fanfic in order to cope with bullies. If it weren't for those sausages Frazzled, you too could be posting your terrible drawings in DeviantArt and ranting about "The Man" on LiveJournal.

People still use LiveJournal? I thought it was Tumblr or nothing.

Indeed, without a full brace of full auto wienerdogs Manbearpig would have had my guts for garters.

I've only gone to LJ for one user, so I have no idea.

I thought tumblr was a picture hosting site.

It is. But you can find some pretty emo photos , even topping some of the greatest LJ entries.

Excellent. I think the only way to top that is insert a "Congrats You've just been sued" service in each.

I ate the liver of an old bully while reading this post with some fava beans and a really crappy merlot.

"Some words of advice first off when someone bullies you the best thing to do is to show no reaction to them whatsoever bullies love to see dramatic reactions the more boring you are to them the less likely they'll enjoy making you miserable. Think of bullies as internet trolls, trolls are deliberately trying to cause inflammatory remarks in order to get attention just like bullies, so don't feed the trolls or in this case the bullies.

"Don't let them make you angry." "Pretend you don't notice." "Don't listen to them."

Bovine excrement. Complete and utter nonsense. I still get the urge to stab people everytime I see or hear someone saying the above.

Are you truly ignoring them? are you making no eye contact, no sound, or emotion to there verbal or physical abuse? Because it may not go away immediately but if you keep up with it the bullies will eventually get bored with you and leave.

It's also the phrase that feeble teachers use to avoid having to deal with the problem, which is why I truly detest it's use. Being made fun of for years can come back and haunt a person later in his or her life. "Ignore it" isn't a valid piece of advice IMO. If you've got a guy smashing up your mailbox every second Thursday, do you just go "whatever, I'll ignore it. He'll grow tired of it soon"?

Aye, as we all know, being called a **g in school is exactly the same as constant property damage outside of school.

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