..............What can i say, it needs to be stopped. I've been bullied now 4 5 yrs running & it's really torn my life apart. I'm not the happy person i was and i never will be again because of bullies, nothin else to say!
lightning .. you are 17 .. now you are out of school things change .. i was bullied at school for wearing hearing aids I am 6 foot 3 and was big at schools but nonetheless even a year difference at that age in huge. ... kids are cruel. You will find it a lots easier form now and you will find that even the bullies usually grow up and see what the harm and misery they have inflicted. You woulld be surprised. now is the time for you to find the beauty in others and to get over any fears and worries you have. Don't hold onto the feeling but get ready to embrace the opening of minds and hearts. peace dude and yes it does need to be stopped but it never will be erradicated. We need to stand together an give support to those who are affected
Bullies rely on fear, most of them are big pussies get trying make up for some shortcomming, If I were you I would I would just punch that bitch in the throat, he will get the message.
the entire social structure of most public school systems needs to be scrapped and built again from square one. the social structure of most schools - segregation by age, gender, ability and very often class and race, competitive cliques rather than cooperative social arrangements, popularity constests, and a priveledged few presiding over a "lesser" majority...the structure of the system as it stands now actually encourages and rewards bullies and punishes, even victimizes unique individuals with strong interests, active minds, sharp intellects, and even good grades...isn't that why we send our kids to school? to get good grades? there are so many things wrong with the way public education usually works - or should i say, doesn't work, i don't even know where to begin.
Yes, I agree. I blame the parents though. Not the kids themselves... the bullies result to this kind of behaviour out of a lack of love/ attention/ etc by thier surroundings. Yet Kitty, public schools will never be restructured... the entire philosophy of the education system will then have to be re-evaluated...and that will not happen. I would personally just privatize High School education, if you want a solution to this problem...but that will create many others.
Here is some Emotional Pain. http://www.kentucky.com/mld/heraldleader/news/nation/10268459.htm Young Marine hanged himself after tour in Iraq MILITARY TRIES TO SCREEN FOR PROBLEMS [size=-1]By Adam Gorlick[/size] [size=-1]ASSOCIATED PRESS[/size] BELCHERTOWN, Mass. - Jeffrey Lucey was just an ordinary kid from small-town America. He grew up loving his parents, his high school sweetheart and back-yard ball games. Even his decision to enlist in the Marine Reserves -- two years before the 2001 terrorist attacks -- was run-of-the-mill. "He just wanted to prove he could cut it," said his mother, Joyce Lucey. But when Jeff returned to his parents' home in July 2003 after six months in Iraq as a truck driver, he had changed. He started drinking too much. He became withdrawn, depressed and distant. In June, after what his parents describe as months of mental and emotional torment, the lance corporal went down to the basement and hanged himself. He was 23. Just a few feet from where his father, Kevin, found him with a garden hose wrapped around his neck, Jeff had arranged a semicircle of family photos on the floor. The note he left said he could no longer deal with his emotional pain. As of late October, 31 troops serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom had killed themselves while in Iraq. Figures for suicides soon after coming home from duty in Iraq or Afghan-istan are less clear, but the Marines count 12. "Military people are heavily vetted for any psychological problems before they enter the service," said Steve Robinson, executive director of the National Gulf War Resource Center. "They're screened very well when they come in, and they're supposed to be screened very well when they leave. So when a Marine takes the ultimate step of checking out by taking his own life, it should make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. These are the guys who aren't supposed to do that." Military officials say the mental health of all troops is a major concern. "We're always on the lookout for symptoms of anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and any symptoms that might predispose someone to PTSD," said Dr. Thomas Burke, programs director for the Defense Department's mental health policy. In the field, he added, troops are told that help is available. Dr. Alfonso Batres, the VA's national director for readjustment counseling, said the stresses faced by soldiers in Iraq are greater than those that weighed on military personnel in the 1991 Gulf War. "This is urban warfare," Batres said. "There's no place to hide in Iraq. Whether you're driv-ing a truck or you're a cook, everyone is exposed to extreme stress on a daily basis." With the help of their daughters -- Debbie, 21 and Kelly, 25 -- the Luceys have compiled a five-page timeline of key moments in Jeff's life from the time he enlisted in December 1999 to his death on June 22, 2004. In mid-June, Jeff had learned through the Northampton hospital about a counseling service called the Vet Center in Springfield run by the VA. He met with a counselor and set up some more sessions. The Luceys took it as a sign of progress. But about a week later, Jeff laced a garden hose around the wooden rafters in his parents' basement and hanged himself. "Maybe we should've done so many different things," Kevin Lucey said. "But you start rationalizing things -- we thought that if he stopped drinking, he'd be OK. You don't want to admit there's a problem. And then it's just too late."
I was bullied in middle school, once even having a guy hold me up by my neck with scissors against my neck! Now I learned how to fit in better and talk more to people - thus not making me a target of bullying... I don't do the actually bulling, but at least I'm not on the recieving end anymore...
You bust a few people upside the head then you see that bully shit fade out fast. Their bigger than you? Get a 2x4 or lead pipe. Seriouslly if they pick on smaller kids unprovoked I think you got grounds to grab a weapon
