Faces of Bullying

There are all sorts of bullies...all ages and stages.

I post this so that maybe this would be a conversation 'starter' with your kinds or grandkids. Some people keep it to themselves that they are being bullied until they feel hopeless...

as evidenced by the end of the video.

Truly...

Bullying is 'learned behavior'. A lot of what parents may pass off as 'kids will be kids' is not that at all.
Most bullying is verbal and NOT acceptable. I for one would like to stop the cycle.

In my experience, most bullies ARE the weak and retarded.

Ever punch a bully? They go down fast.

I was comparing the social bullying kids receive in public schools to the physical bullying bears give each other in the wild. A bully might eat up a kids emotional, mental and social well being but a bear will straight up eat another bears face. The analogy is apt!

It's apt in the way that there is ALWAYS someone bigger and badder than the person who is the bully. They may just not have crossed their path yet.

This guy may be an example

One thing i learned growing up is that its not worth hating bullies. They're actually more deserving of pity than hate, because they are obviously deeply unhappy with their life or themself, to act in such a manner toward other people.

Exactly. Society today is so consumed with teaching our children how to be sheep and not to fight with each other that we've made our children prime targets for bullies. My daughter is taught not to start fights but she has our 100% support anytime someone picks a fight with her and she has the urge to knock them on their ass.

Ditto. However, schools are taking this "bullying" thing to the ultra-max extreme in ludicrousness at times. A girl at my daughter's elementary school got sent home with a "bullying report" that her parents had to sign...because she hugged another kid. I suppose they should just be grateful she wasn't expelled for "sexual assault".

I've caught myself being a bully once in Jr. High. Was stuffing this kid in a locker. He was the new kid, unpopular and weird. I was trying to show how tough and cool I was.


Sort of realized what I was doing as I was debating putting the lock back on the locker...


Let him out, and made it a point to try and be a better person.



*shrug*

We all have bad moments. Went out of my way to make sure no one picked on the kid after that as a sort of recompense, but I still feel like a bag of **** when i think about it. That had to be a horrible day for this guy and I did that.


(edit: And really I think my motivation is that I moved around a lot as a kid. I was usually 'the new kid, unpopular, and weird'. Felt good to be the other guy for once. At least for a minute, then it was sort of awful)

I bullied a little kid from Vietnam. He was way smaller than everyone else, and barely spoke English, so I did what any kid would have done, I started calling him Ho Chi Minh and V.C. and before you know it, all the other kids had joined in the fun. Yeah, those were the good old days. This was last week when I was picking my kids up at school in the car pool line by the way.
