Good morning ,
I want to take up that topic. Were you ever bullied in any way? And how was it like?
I need to tell that I've few such expierences fortunately, rather in the
primary school, a few also later, but it was sporadic fortunately. And it
related some rather trivial things, childish, or simply derisory things...
Or at least it's my opinion about it...
And I'd like to share wiht you all who were whenever bullied, that I've read somewhere that being bullied (of cours in a moderate degree) in the young age helps psychologically in the anti-stress immunity forming. I don't know it's true - what do you think? But if so, it'd be a great consolation that even such troublesome and hurtful experiences can be the profit for us...
All bullying has ever done with me is give me a depression and severe suicidal thoughts. Bullying can never be good in my opinion.
Like all past experiences, you can learn something from it. Obviously you are not at the stage yet, but someday you will be.
What did I learn from it? Keep your integrity and don't change just because the world wants you to. Some of us are square pegs and we are not meant to fit into round holes, so don't force yourself.
i agree, and sometimes i wish the 'bulliers' could now see the damage they've done to people..and see the long-lasting effects their stupid, selfish behaviour has had on others
I never got bullied because I have my fellow HMONG race to back me up, "You mess with one, YOU MESS WITH ALL" that's my qoute ^.^ Also I stand up and say to bullies I"LL KICK YO ASS NIGGA!
Hey Snaefridhur - yeh I was a victum of bullying. Its strange tho, coz I dont look back at it being an altogether shitty time.
In the UK, secondary schools hav a class system (yep they start us off early!) where after the first year everyone gets separated and put into a class which best resembles their intelligence / delinquency. Being a kid who was classed as hyperactive meant I was put into set 4, one set above FIVE which housed future-certain mass murderers and people most likely to set fire to your face (and happily tell your mother abt it)
Being in this low-low set meant that "normal" kids didnt want anything to do with us and that we had to fend for ourselves. It was prettty bleak but, A major plus was that if some stooopid sonofabitch did start some shit then it was guaranteed that members from my set would back me up. always.
In class things were totally different - it was like open-season on anyone. (more me than anyone) but after 5 years of this, when our year ended school and moved to college, I noticed the guys who gave me the most shit turned out to be my best friends,
Looking back I guess they were beating seven shades of shit out of me b'coz they cared... **sniffle

I dont think the stress and fear of being bullied does anything favourable for you. It produces cortisol that leave you more prone to heart attcks and depression later in life. It doesn't teach you to stand up for yourself either. Being valued and having a sense of secure placement and self worth teaches that - not being kicked when you're down.

Being bullied has made me a stronger person... but I still have these memories and grudges I can't get rid of. And whilst I was at school, my social skills, and confidence became very low.
