Was a woman if I recall correctly. She came in when I was arguing with one of them, decided I was the problem, and sent me out. Bitch.

Sounds like she has a teaching philosophy that the principal should be informed of, and if that doesn't work, the school board. She is maintaining bullying.

She is long gone by now, that was many moons ago.

This just proves your shit-head attitude towards pretty much anything. Most people i've talked to would rather kill themselves than murder someone. I don't understand how you could live with the guilt of taking someone elses life. That aside, i've read the crap you've been spouting in this thread and to me it almost amounts to the troll going on about paedophiles and homosexuals... But the thing is you're actually being serious. Seriously stupid, you've got no clue on how difficult bullying can be. I'm sure serious cyber bullies will not stop after simply being blocked. I'm sure they'll do anything they can to make anothe feel like crap.

No, that proves that unlike the majority of people, I still have a survival instinct. That's something I'm actually proud of.

Humans are social creatures, we live in societies and our lives are based around interactions with other people. We value equity and justice, and compassion and altruism are survival traits.

You'd be stone dead in a tribal society.

That doesn't even make any sense. Any healthy person would kill someone else before killing themselves if given the choice. If not, nature has fucked up somewhere.

Wow, reading through this thread, and any point i'd wish to make has pretty much already been covered. Havoc, you are one the most insensitive, callous and ignorant people I've ever had the misfortune to listen to jabber on. Throughout my childhood I was fortunate enough to never undergo any serious bullying, but seriously, have a heart! Your point has been reduced to squalor and yet you continue to argue, which makes you look like an even bigger jerk and idiot. Something tells me something very bad happened to you in life, which has made you have these awful opinions. What a ridiculous bunch of crap you've come out with! Hopefully all these posts will show you the fact your willing to kill someone doesn't make you a bigger man than those people who unintentionally spend the majority of their childhood in misery.

Have you people collectively decided to just pick a few words out of my posts and base your reply on that?

1. Read the post.
2. Read it again for good measure.
3. Attempt to understand what it says.
4. ...
5. Profit!

I don't see why the person would keep the bully in contact with MSN or facebook or whatever. Although I've never really been cyberbullied much, any time that happens I just delete them of my friends list.
Telling any teachers or parents won't help.
Teachers usually say they're going to sort it out but nothing happens and I'm sure there's not much a parent can other than to inform the school which won't do anything.

I've tried the teacher part before so I know what I'm saying.

Trust me it's not that easy, cyberbullying is never one on one just as bullying irl is never one on one, one poor kids has to face up to sometimes twenty other little fuckers. No one here an say 20 - 1 wouldn't make them feel like shit because they'd be lying.

I know a person from my old school who had that. He left though. It was really mean of them to do that. Thank god I don't go to the same school as them.

Thankfully people won't bully me any more, I don't take shit but I used to so I was a target and I know what it's like. That being said I can talk my way out of most situations, the last guy who tried to fight me just ended up looking like a twat and the next day I showed when he asked to fight me he never even turned up, now he avoids me all the time. I'm no hero. XD

I think you got your sentence order wrong. That first sentence is supposed to be at the end.

I don't think you have a right to say anything about a healthy person when you're condoning bullying.

Bullying is pretty counterproductive in our complex social structures, even if at a base instinct level it's survival of the fittest. I'd like to think humanity has developed a brain capacity higher than that, but having experienced bullying first-hand and seen pieces of work like you be an accessory to it I honestly doubt.

As much of a problem bullying is in general, I don't think killing the bully will do any favours to person being bullied, nor the bully's family.

i used to get thrown around a bit at school, but then i joined the rugby team tackled all the people that were being dicks and they never messed with me again

the end =D

So you're implying that if a person joined a rugby team that he then get's powers to kick off at the bully? What if the bully had been in a pro rugby team for years and decided to smash the person up for trying him?

well thats the other great thing actually, if you went to the same school as hm then you would probably be in the same rugby team and trust me if they did anything to you the rest of the team would give that guy the bash

well thats how our team works i dont know about anyone elses

(although if they were on the other team then they probably would probably PWN u)

Just because you're on the same team as the bully doesn't mean you're automatically safe. The other guys might be friends of the bully or they might just not help. They could just stand and laugh. That's what usually happens at schools (especially if the person's team is full of chavs).

well then tell your coach if you're that scared and if you dont want to be a gnark then you'll sadly just have to deal with it

that's just my opinion anyway

Physically fighting back is an awful choice when dealing with a bully, it only makes you more of a target whether you succeed or not.

also

hahaha I always thought you were fucked up but jesus this takes the cake

I doubt the coach will care as when I was younger our P.E. teacher guy didn't give a crap.
Also, if you don't want to tell I'm pretty sure you can just leave the team. They can't force you to stay in.

The problem is a lot of kids in that situation would think that just leaving the team and telling someone who cares why would be pussying out rather than staying and getting his face kicked in.

yeah it suck's being a kid :(

I agree. If I was in that situation I would feel like crap. Also, the annoying thing for the person is the fact that if he attacks back he'll anger the bully even more and he'll be in a worse situation.

Ok mister wise guy, if someone had a gun to your head and you were given the choice to either kill a complete stranger in your place or be killed yourself, what would you do?

It's basic survival instinct not to choose yourself. Denying it, THAT is fucked up.

I think he was meaning that it was stupid in the situation of bullying. That's not the same as your example.

I don't get this whole 'cyberbullying' thing. I've been bullied in real life, but the only way that ever effected me was physically, and that was with injuries. Then I learnt to either fight back if possible, or get the guy neck-deep into shit and then laugh my ass off at him.

What helped me deal with it was foresight. I knew for a fact that the people picking on me were dumb shits, and would go nowhere in life and become failures. I know for a fact that the main culprit got excluded and can't even get a job at Asda, and I laugh to myself when I think about all the meaningless crap he tried to pull.

Hell, the worst case of 'bullying' I've experienced, if you can call it that, is being attacked along with my friends by a group of youths when walking through a park late at night. They weren't after valuables, just to pick fights with people they had obvious advantages over (numbers and weapons...). Even then, thoughts going through my head were more like "For fuck's sake, what is wrong with people nowadays?" than "Oh fuck, why me, this is so horrible!" Maybe I'm detached, or have a Jackass level of self preservation. Either way, socially I turned out fine and have a great deal of close friends, new and old.

In sixth form, the way things worked was different. Everyone was on the recieving end of banter. The only people who got 'bullied' were the people who couldn't lighten the fuck up and take it like everyone else. Tell me that isn't fair - that's preparing people to the real world. If I couldn't cope with 'bullying', I wouldn't have a job, because it often feels like the manager is just trying to kick up shit with me. But that's life.

Also, cyberbullying = rofl, to me at least. I mean, shit. People were making all sorts of death threats and horrible suggestions to me when I was about 12, and that's because I kicked so much ass at Unreal Tournament and made grown men rage. Even then I laughed at it so hard and showed my big brother so he could laugh too. The trick with trolling is to troll harder. Nowadays it just gets easier and easier.

I appreciate other people's opinions, but that's where I stand.

I'd take cyberbullying over physical bullying anyday.
Irritating ass on facebook? Block account. Problem solved!

Goddamn it I always wanted to join the rugby team but didn't have the confidence. Too late!

That's an obvious and easy solution which is why the people the person getting bullied goes to for help usually get's confused and ends up just explaining that to them only for them to ignore the advice. I still don't get it either, I had some guy on my xbox live friends list who was mean sometimes. I ended up removing him and blocking communications.

What does killing people have to do with bullying?


ANyway, wow.. Goresplatter is here!!

I wanted to comment on the death threats from Unreal Tournament(awesome game :D)
Death threats from strangers who don't know who you are is not the same as death threats from people at school. Those can be nasty. Specially if a lot of people do it.

I said that earlier. It not as bad if you have your friends with you though. That's probably why I didn't get bullied much.

yo if being selfish is being not fucked up then please let me be fucked up

I got a lot of death threats, in person. Fact is, all I said to them was "Do it, then. See what happens." Fact is, people who say shit like that are pussies on the inside.

I think some people just learn how to deal with it early, and some don't, making them exponentially more vulnerable. Some people GENUINELY bring it on themselves, though.

I know what you mean. I knew some person who always was bullied at school because he had a lot of freckles, as pathetic as that sounds, that was the whole reason for it. The problem was he never actually tried to stick up for himself and he show signs of weakness. I don't know how well he's doing now since I'm at a different school, but I've heard he's still being picked on though.

The reason why cyberbullying is so potent is because people who are very shy, not very social, vulnerable and easy to pick on... people like I was back in high school (And still to some degree am) see the internet as their comfort zone and safe place.

Having someone attack your comfort zone is absolutely soul crushing. You're not safe anywhere anymore. People who can't understand that sort of situation don't know what the fuck they are talking about, and should either try to understand what it must feel like rather than derriding victims as weak or just piss off.

Then they aren't taking full advantage of their comfort zone. Get the easy password of the nobhead who's 'bullying' you, and Frape the shit out of him, repeatedly. He'll soon be more upset than you were.

Or sign them up to over 9000 gay porn sites.

There's just a billion ways that cyber-bullying isn't effective, seriously. Counter-trolling is just way too easy, and if someone actually becomes irritated, it just means that they're letting it bother them too much, for lack of better wording. If I'm ever arguing over the internet, I'm probably playing games at the same time, or listening to music, for example. About a one-hundredth of my attention is given to the actual argument. With purposefully illogical arguments on my end, coupled with statements like "you're obviously wrong, just deal with it," "u mad?" and "lol ok," they'll be more angered than you by your passiveness, I guarantee it.

They're not worth your full attention, so why bother giving it to them? Don't think of the internet as your "safe place", away from oh so terrible words. Think of it as diplomatic immunity. If you're more intelligent than them, which 90% of the time is true when confronting bullies, then you'll win every shit-flinging match, if it's just words. If they try to bring it up on school, it should be like "you're gonna get all worked up because of some words on a computer screen? You massive pussy."

Pft. Come to think of it, laws against cyber bullying is practically laws against free speech, seen as though one of the key points about the internet is true free speech. And if their speech pisses you off? You have the right to block/ignore them. Something I think everyone needs to learn to do against words in REAL LIFE.

Nice logic bro, shame it's totally useless in these situations.

Of course you could do all that, your offline bullying would probably go up for doing so, but you could definitely do it. Try telling that to a scared and panicing fifteen year old who is being terrorized and hounded by offenders, though. Whilst you're at it, try telling the homeowner pointing a shotgun at a thief that there are a million better ways to deal with the situation.

You are not trying to put yourself in their position, you are not trying to understand them. This is exactly the same kind of MAN UP BRO bullshit that just makes victims of bullying feel worse about themselves.

good job on replying to one fucking sentence out of Jordan's post. you really made a valid counter-argument, there.

like you just did in the quote above this one?

FUCKIN' HYPOCRITES, HOW DO THEY WORK?

sure thing, bro. ur so kewl.

as fucking childish as your argument is, i can see where you're coming from. i mean, if you were dead, who would look after all that money? or get groovy with the alley cats? or post blind, pitiful arguments on the internet? that just wouldn't be right. fuck it, kill the other cunt and walk on outta there. survival, man.

nah, it amazes me what a self-indulgent, ignorant creature you are.
