Facts About Bullying!

[Iamthatiam Profile]

I was hardly bullyied...As a matter of fact, I used to protect the smaller ones from bullying!

Once, there was this guy, from my old boarding school, which I was expelled (That's another history ), a little taller and older than me, who was always spanking and drowning small kids at the pool, however there were always someone to intervene, until one day, when the pool keeper had to get out, the mofo started drowning a nine years old kid, on the deeper part (It was one of those pools which gets from four feet, until seven feet), well, I decided to protect the kid and got all enraged to the point of carelessly commiting a mistake in my eagerness, I jumped over the mofo shouting, he extended his leg and BANG, my chest and breathing got fucked, so, I left the pool to take my breath, and the guy came after me, I was fifteen, and 6'2'' already, but skinny...The guy was an inch taller, but heavier...At this point of my life I had a little training with full contact (A mix of martial arts, including KickBoxing), well, the guy rammed over me that I could barely do something, while I was defending me from the punches (I can take lots of punishment), I had the opportunity to kick his base foot and down him...HEHE Needless to say, but here it goes: I kicked the mothafokker so much and hard, that he fell into the shallow part of the pool, half-awoken...I remember as if it were yesterday the look on his face, pure fear! So, with the guy almost passing, semi-floating on the shallow part, I took some distance, ran, and jumped the higher I could, 'landing' with both feet over his belly, he knocked good...Then, I did again over his chest...He passed at this point, when all of a sudden the kids that were bullyied by him grabbed me, saying: ''Stop, please, you will kill him''! The guy never, EVER crossed my path again, avoiding me like sort of a Devil, and most important, 'till I got expelled, I never heard of him bullying again!!!

bullies are detestable, and almost always easily dealt with by confrontation. i say almost because the occasional bully will be a flat out psycho. those are more difficult to dispense with, though still dispensable

Kinda sorta in the genre I use to trip on a forum called gangstalking world .com, I think the site went down via paranoia. I was never e member but thoroughly enjoyed reading the members posts. There is an entire community of people out there, just like us, but with the common idea that they are being secretly stalked by groups.

I hate to say it but it was hilarious. I pictured (much like I pictured Dirty Rabbit) a bunch of no life house wives, all looking like Mrs. Roper on 3s Company, the bed suite, QVC channel blaring in the back ground, cigarette with a 2 inch ash hanging, and that forum opened up on their shitty laptop they barely have the noodle to check email on.

It was a case study for the delusional and schizophrenic.

Sure, but I couldn't understand the kids' behaviour in preventing more punish, later on, a couple years after that while doing analysis, I remembered that I was really about to kill the guy, and that would had changed the whole history, my friend...You can imagine the rest, aye? And Im not talking in ''Chaos Theory'' level Change!! The kids also saved me!

I was bullied when I was in the 6th grade by the brother of a girl I was ready to marry. He was a 7th grader but much more matured than I was. I did get an awesome shot to the back of his head from about 2 feet with a basketball, but that was just before he turned around and beat the shit out of me.

Anyway, the taunting everyday in the bus was relentless and finally an 8th grader that went to my church youth group, took pity on me and stuck up for me, whipped the shit out of the guy, and the kicker was, he had his gums sown together from some injury. The dude was my fucking hero, and I was never picked on again from that guy.

There are a few guys from high school daze that know if it happens again, they will be headless.
Been a long time now, but existential threats one tends to remember.

Sorry to hear bro.

While I was the psycho fuk no one messed..I never bullied, and prevented a few bullyings! The one less expected to be dong it, was the one 'bullying' me, the one supposed to protect me...My Pops...

But hell, the guy had three jobs, never ran from a fight...he is a tough bastard, and that was my lesson from him!!! I had the profile of a bullyier, although, I choose to prevent bullying instead....I guess it is all the same in the end!

I got beaten trying to protect people, too...I beat the shit out of most mofos...It's all stupid, sometimes Im positively certain about some Human's DNA/RNA ''Fabrication'' Defect!

Bully Related Suicide

Suicide remains among the leading causes of death of children under 14. And in most cases, the young people die from hanging. (AAS)

A new review of studies from 13 countries found signs of an apparent connection between bullying, being bullied, and suicide. (Yale School of Medicine)

Suicide rates among children between the ages of 10 & 14 are very low, but are "creeping up." (Ann Haas, Director of the Suicide Prevention Project at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention)

The suicide rate among young male adults in Massachusetts rose 28 percent in 2007. However, that does not reflect deaths among teenagers and students Carl's age. (Massachusetts Dept. of Public Health, in a report released April 8, 2009)

• Since 2002, at least 15 schoolchildren ages 11 to 14 have committed suicide in Massachusetts. Three of them were Carl's age. ("Constantly Bulled, He Ends His Life at Age 11," by Milton J. Valencia. The Boston Globe, April 20, 2009)

• Suicide rates among 10 to 14-year-olds have grown more than 50 percent over the last three decades. (The American Association of Suicidology, AAS)

• In 2005 (the last year nationwide stats were available), 270 children in the 10-14 age group killed themselves. (AAS)

Bullying and homosexuality

In a 2007 study, 86% of LGBT students said that they had experienced harassment at school during the previous year. (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network -- GLSEN)

Research indicates that LGB youth may be more likely to think about and attempt suicide than heterosexual teens. (GLSEN)
In a 2005 survey, students said their peers were most often bullied because of their appearance, but the next top reason was because of actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender expression. ("From Teasing to Torment: School Climate of America" -- GLSEN and Harris Interactive)

According to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network 2007 National School Climate Survey of more than 6,000 students...

• Nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT youth reported being verbally harassed at school in the past year because of their sexual orientation

• Nearly half (44.1 percent) reported being physically harassed

• About a quarter (22.1 percent) reported being physically assaulted.

• Nearly two-thirds (60.8 percent) who experienced harassment or assault never reported the incident to the school

• Of those who did report the incident, nearly one-third (31.1 percent) said the school staff did nothing in response
