I picked on kids because they were weird. I still do it. It doesn't matter. Get thicker skin.


As someone who was bullied, I have to agree with you wholeheartedly.

only idiots would actually advocate death in such a scenario, however, jail time should not be taken out of the equation. Just because someone is a child and cannot fully comprehend empathy or consequences, does not mean consequences should be abolished.


Even jail is an extreme.

Of course for adult sentences. But a 24 hour sentence in a jail cell will harmlessly "smarten up" a few -blam!- 11 - year olds.

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

People who let bullies get to them are pathetic. Stand up for yourself.

Not everyone has your fighting spirit.

For example, mentally disabled children can't stand up for themselves.

Does this thread give any peace to the people you bullied? Did you ever apologize, or make up for your past behavior? Its great and all that you feel sorry, but there are people out there who still feel inferior, still feel weak and paranoid that you will turn around a corner and humiliate them.

Its awesome and all that you feel bad, but you have done nothing to pay for what you've done.


Get thicker skin


Grow some stones and treat people fairly instead of hiding behind some idea of superiority, you wuss.


No thanks.

I personally apologized to all of them after my senior year of college, when I realized what a dick I was.

I don't think I should be a part of your "Genocide".

Bullies usually don't get to anyone. They're a waste of time, space, and precious oxygen.

I've bullied, and I've been bullied, and it wasn't long before I realize just how utterly stupid it is.

It honestly depends on the extent. If the person they're bullying has attempted (I don't mean had thoughts, I mean has attempted) suicide or has already committed suicide because of their bullying, then jail time should be a serious consideration.

Okay, as long as they aren't officially charged with a crime or anything.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself

OP, don't you get it? You are proving me correct.

I said in that post that bullies never comprehend that what they did was wrong, that no matter what, they wouldn't see that they even erred.

And you are quoting me like I am persecuting you. You bullied, you did that and have the nerve to act like a victim now. You left a trail of victims back in high school. People that will always fear what you did to them.

And you look to my post as a reason to make a "don't persecute me" thread? You're the victim?

I don't allow people to bully me in school...somehow. I mean, I'm not tough at all.

However, one of my friend's lives has been terribly hard due to parental problems and therfor, he is a little odd. And you know what? He does get on my nerves a bit sometimes. But I put up with it because he's my friend and damn it he needs it. Too many people see him and make fun of him and it has pretty much finnished off the crushing of his confidence that his mother started so well. I can't imagine him doing too much in his life, and it's because of people like your former self.

It is great to see that unlike so many, you have matured and are now (I asume) a descent guy. So, all I can say is that if you ever have children, then you stress to them how they shouldn't be so narrow-minded, teach them proper manners and simply make them good people. Finally, you need to understand that what you did was terrible and you need to understand that you should have been punished.

That's a completely unrelated issue which is actually in law. It's somewhat bogus, honestly. If the bully's actions can be proven to intend for his target to cause self harm, then he can be held accountable for said self harm. If the bully was being an -blam!-, he can only be held accountable for being an -blam!-.

It's a parallel I somewhat draw to sports. If you commit a penalty, the penalty should be assessed based on intent, not on result. i.e. if it's a dirty hit and a player gets hurt, they should be penalized. If it's a malicious hit and the player does not get hurt, the player should be suspended REGARDLESS, if it's a clean hit and the player is hurt, there should be no penalty.

Are you kidding? Did you even read my replies? I bullied in high school. After high school, when I realized how terrible of a person I was, and I realized how bad I was to others and how much pain I likely caused them, I was mortified. I felt sick and disgusted of myself. I even considered suicide (I was also particularly upset at my life at that point for other personal reasons).

I invited all the bully victims to apologize for how awful of a person I was to them. I know many haven't forgiven me, but I am now friends with a couple of them, and I've eased my mind knowing I've changed my life around from the jerk I used to be.

What am I saying? Just because someone was a bully in their high school years doesn't mean they are one forever.

Victims meaning people he bullied, not killed (again, we are BOTH making assumptions, he may indeed be an axe murderer).

Victims all the same. Obviously I was bullied a bit, as was my younger brother. He got picked on so badly he went into depression, ended up an alcoholic and is only now putting his life together. I know that the bullies weren't the whole problem, but they were a big part of it.

That's how it should be.

I told my middle school bully to eff his sister one day and he left me alone.
And during high school, we'd play pick up games of football out by the community pool.

Water under the bridge and all that.

Then fine. You atoned. For every one of you how many are there who continue down that path and bully others? You've made your point. I made mine. For bullies I have nothing but disgust.

  • 12.01.2012 3:01 PM PDT

bullying is normal in a society like ours. We see people as odd and we herd against them because its not normal. There will always be a tad of descrimination for many years to come in everyone because its just how we are. Also i forsee my nameischarlie showing up at his schools football practice and shooting everyone up.
