Dealing with "bullying"

[j8snx1]

What good is it to fight? It's just as pointless as putting out a fire with a bucket full of gasoline.

I guess I can speak easily to a certain degree since I'm 6'2 (no bragging, just saying) and sort of built (still getting there). I guess appearances CAN be a factor, but seriously...it DOES take more balls to NOT fight and talk to the administrators about it.

Chances are, you might feel weak and a little bitter from NOT fighting and telling administrators about the problem, but in the long run, you win without a doubt. The idiot gets the penalties while you sit back and enjoy the show. What more satisfaction could you get? Let your emotions mislead you to fight and YOU yourself are just as worthless as the bully.

On topic now: if you think that you wont have more trouble after you kick someones ass then do it. If not stay calm.

The following will make me sound like an a$$hole but it is the truth. If you are being bullied it's just as much your fault as the bullies. Bullies don't bully every person they come across. They chose to bully you for a reason. Find out what the reason is and improve it.

Now that is utter bull****. I myself got bulled, moved class, and the people in that class started bullying someone else. Unfortunatly people in my new class copied people from my old class, but 5 years later I started collage and (not bragging here) I am one of the most popular people in the collage. Ok, I was a bit more confident, but its hard to be confident when for saying the simple words "go away" I got knocked out and fell down a flight of stairs unconcious.
Oh and taviii, I'm also 6'2, 196 lbs

1 Ignor (If it doesnt work proceed to step 2)
2 Tell them off to leave you anlone (If it doesnt work proceed to step 3)
3 Kick their ass then tell them to leave you alone

Only problem arises when they're stronger than you.

I'm only 5"6 (short, I know) But I am really strong for someone in my year, also I am a silver medalist in Judo (I'm 132 lbs).

Now this 6 footer comes along who likes annoy people to get a reaction, who's otherwise a cool guy (or so I'm told). Well my reputation as a good fighter has kept everyone from even DARING to fight me (I've a nose-bleed to one or two people before, a few was even by accident) but he knows I don't take s*** from anyone. If he was a smaller person I might give him an arm-lock or something but against a larger guy they would just give you a punch with his other hand if you don't break his arm.

So what did I do? I used a small, pointy needle. If he bothers you again just jab him with it. This is only when the teachers aren't around though. I'm lucky since I'm on the good side of the teachers and he isn't .

If he annoys me in class I just tell the teacher straight away. People know I do it as a punishment for people, as I do not take s*** from ANYONE.

When I was doing a presentation in English class, one of the kids smirked at me insultingly. I said to the whole class:

"Please don't make that face X, it's terribly distracting...."

He got sent out with a detention by the teacher. It's nice to have powerful friends, no?

Are people sent out of the class with a detention just because they smirked at you during a presentation? Is your school a nazi regime?

haha size didn't deter me from a fight, i'm only 5'3 (105lbs), and this guy probably 5'8 (180lbs) kept on bullying me, pushing me around, calling me names since elementary school - so that went on for about 4years.

One day I was tying my shoe laces, he kicks me over. I got up, and punched him in the face (spurr of the moment) haha.

I knocked him off balance into the lockers and all I heard was him saying in astonishmen "what the ****?!"

hahaha and since I know martial arts, I got into uknow.. "the fighting stance" you see in movies. The bully sort of looked at me like this and said "You better watch it"

After that, no more bullying! His gf was nice to me after that too mwahahaha.

oh yeah, i remembered another bully incident.

a football jock was talking crap, shoved me one day. i wore steel toed boots so i just gave him a nice soccer kick to the leg.

i went to a small high school after my freshman year, there were like 90 people in my senior class, so i knew him pretty well. i extended my hand and told him we could either stfu and be friends or i'd just kick the crap out of him some more right then and there. he chose the stfu and be friends route.

after that, my chemistry teacher (who was also a football coach) started calling me 'steel-toe man.'

i ended up being good friends with the jock after that.

I used to get bullied up until junior high, but once I joined the wrestling team in high school nobody touched me.

Do not become a bully in turn, I nearly did.

 

[Flabbergasped?]

Take private Shaolin Kung Fu lessons. North Fist, preferably. When you get adept at Chin-na, you can beat the crap out of any bully, I guarantee it. I've been doing it for a little over three months and I can beat up anyone in the 15 lb window above me. I just don't though. =)

All I can say is become close friends with the seniors. That's what I did and now none of them so called "bullies" will walk around me.
