How bad was bullying during your school life?

[NameOfAction]

Guess I'm lucky in this area. I was always in a bubble, aside from the rest of the school populace. No friends, few aquaintances and those that picked on me got bored quickly and found someone else to pick on. Got sextorted and outed as gay once, but again, I'm a boring target. They told the teachers I was gay and that made the staff make weird comments about me during class. Oh well, nothing new. Blew over in a few months and then I left school at 15 never to go back due to crippling suiciadal depression. Finished highschool much later and online. Now similarly left uni... Education doesn't agree with me (like most of life)

 

[TwistedNightmares]

It really depended on what school I went to. I was bullied quite badly in most of them, and my peers actively made sure to isolate me from others.

 

[Dark Moon]

It was bad enough that I had to change schools and it has affected my life. I still get flashbacks to what happened.

was there physical bullying or only mental?
and which country?

There was a extreme amount of mental, as being very poor, no one wanted to associate themselves with me. I would be at my locker in the hall getting books or what not and have a huge guy come along and slam me into my locker and others would laugh and I just gathered my belongings and left.

Like during P.E. (physical education), especially when playing dodgeball, a lot of the bigger guys would gang up and when the teacher said start the game, they would all gang up on me and hit me with as many rubber balls as possible, as hard as they could, and sometimes it would knock me to the floor. The teacher never said anything, at least that I can remember.

This was in the Midwest of the U.S.

But like I mentioned before, years/decades later, I met some of those same bullies and they either had low paying, mean less positions, or some had so many kids that they were on food stamps and the like. Nothing wrong with kids or anything of said such, it just is what the person themselves was made of. Mean and thoughtless and in the long run they were their own worst enemies.

Yes, I had to pull myself up by my own bootstraps from absolutely nothing, BUT at almost the age of 70, I can firmly say that I DID win in the long run and those that were so damn mean never made anything of their lives at all.

So to all the folks here, young and not so young, keep in mind that not only does the sun come up in the morning BUT, call it karma if one chooses to do so, it ALL comes around and what goes around comes around, and in the long run being nice and thinking of others ALWAYS WILL get a person ahead in life and in any type of position.

i used to be ostracised a lot in various ways, worst one was inspired from diary of a wimpy kid where i was permanently the cheese and everyone avoided me for an entire year. not sure what i even did to deserve something like that. i struggle a lot to make friends because of it

 

[Forveleth]

Not a whole lot of "bullying" per say (although there was some based on my looks) but more social isolation as the things I liked were not "cool" when I was young. I was into video games and anime way before they were mainstream so I was one of those "weirdos" which left me socially isolated. Honestly though, the bigger factor in all of this was that I really did not get support from home either. I probably could have handled all of it pretty well if my parents had had a better response than just "Yeah, we know school is hard. Do not worry, it gets better."

Same crap from last night. Why do you keep trying to make this some sort of competition? People here have already told you that it is not appropriate nor welcomed and yet you still push it. I'm sure that other people were stressed and traumatized when they were younger and I'd bet they still are.

My 100% gut thought on who it had worse, is that we both had crappy issues to deal with and also culture might have played a little more into the aspect that yours was a bit rougher.

I will say this, at home, my "parents" HATED me, never wanted me, so besides having a tough go at school, then I would have to come "home" and be bullied all over again. Until the day after my 18th birthday, this was my life.

For the both of us, this type of an upbringing does, in my point of view, affect how a person sees, act and react to the world.

We both are VERY strong and loving souls, and you are a wonderful friend, thank you for that!

once this girl starting beating my ass and dropped her pencil while doing so, and i proceeded to pick up her pencil for her while she continued to hit on me, for absolutely no reason. lol

 

[Spite]

The bullying I was subjected to by my peers in school was horrific. I was outcast from the other students the moment I started both primary school and high school. I remember being bullied from as early as five years old. Other kids would call me "weird" and "ugly", and pull pranks on me. The bullying ramped up in my last years of primary school (when I was 11-12) and classmates would shove me, lock me in a storage closet, call me names like "faggot", and do other things to intimidate me.

High school was the worst and almost killed me. I wanted to kill myself when I was 14 because of the bullying I had to go through. In high school it was not uncommon for me to be laughed at, ridiculed, ostracised, have food thrown at me, be made fun of for being autistic (everyone knew I was a special ed student and it felt so humiliating). I remember a "friend" telling me he was inviting people to come to his 15th birthday party, and when I asked about it and if I can come, and he turned around and said to me "no-one would ever want you at a birthday party"... and I wasn't invited. Those words have stayed etched into my mind ever since nearly 15 years later and it fucking stings like hell. I even had one lovely fellow tell me that I would be "doing the world a favour" if I killed myself. Maybe he's right.

I live with trauma from what I went through in high school, and I've been out of school for a decade. I am extremely on-edge and tense whenever I see teenagers/young people out in public and lots of things in my daily life trigger bad memories of when I was in school. I am still bullied to this day, although it's nowhere near as bad as when I was in high school. Occasionally at my job a teenager/group of teenagers will ride past me and yell something at me or laugh at me.

 

[bobsacamano]

I can't say how bad it was generally. All I can say is my very best "friend" was my bully and I was too stupid to see it (until many years later) and too spineless to react to it.

 

[Phantomygg]

It was bad when I moved schools I had people draw inappropriate stuff on my cloths, hit me in the back of the head in the hall and say it was accidental, make rumors up about me and even 1 teacher joined in the bullying by flipping my desk over In class. I couldent even eat in the lunch room because people would always throw stuff at me.

 

[pax420]

In 2nd grade I had to transfer to a new school because they had a special ed class and they thought I should be in one. I was bullied for a little while. I guess being new and being in special ed,(don't know what was so special about it) really didn't help. It was mostly 2or3 on me and it usually ended up with me pinned down getting hit in the face. One day a 4th grade girl(yes a girl) rescued me and that was the end of it. I promised myself that would never happen to me again. It didn't. I learned how to sneak up behind them and knock them down and they couldn't breathe. I ended up getting my bullies back and they all stopped bullying other kid too. I ended up expelled and sent to another school. I had an unusually strong hatred for bullies and every time I saw them attacking other kids I made it my whole life's purpose to attack them. I guess I became a bully to the bullies but I never bothered anyone else and mostly befriended the people who were picked on. I hate that all of you went thru that shit. Compared to you guys, mine was a drop in the bucket. But 40 years later I still remember the helpless feeling I had and I can't imagine that going on for years. You guys are strong people for making it thru that and I hope you can find some way to come to terms with it. Besides ctb.

 

[akiyama346]

When I was in high school people used to call me a pedophile because of how I look and that I look 30. It's not a big deal now, I don't think about it much, but it made me accept giving up on dating and not bothering with women.

 

[dragonofenvy]

I was in special education throughout elementary school and was always seen as the weird SPED kid that nobody wanted to be around. Kids were able to get away with teasing and hitting me all the time because they'd gang up on me, and if I tried to defend myself all of them would spin a story about how I was being aggressive. Eventually I was almost entirely barred from having contact with the other students, but it was later changed to just being banned from recess. I didn't think anything of it at the time but later would realize how much this would affect me.

In high school I often would sit alone at the lunch table despite my school being overcrowded during lunch periods. I would be constantly made fun of for being the loner loser while the other students simultaneously would talk about how they felt bad for lonely kids whenever that was brought up in class. Ironic isn't it? Guys would constantly call me a school shooter and make lists of people for me to "target" and hand them to me, while girls would often tell me that nobody would ever date someone like me and sometimes I'd overhear then bullying other girls trying to goad them into saying they liked me or else they'd make up some rumor about them and spread it. For some reason, it was them bullying other girls that pissed me off the most but I'm not sure why. Maybe I just accepted my fate and didn't want anyone else to feel the same way.

It's not as bad as other stories here, but it still changed who I am and caused a deep distrust towards others that I won't be able to shake.

 

[StillLife]

It could have been much worse! Much much worse!

Neuroticism aside, I was a weird kid with a good deal of bad traits looking back.

Don't hold any bad feelings towards anyone, in my case, a good deal ending up getting their dues anyway ig...

 

[ladyofsorrows]

they never physically hurt me (except for this one girl who used to push me..? lmao). i mostly just got called ugly and treated like a leper. it could have been much worse, but it was bad enough that it changed me forever and i wouldn't have developed social anxiety if i was just treated like a normal human being.

 

[leavingthisworld]

it was hell. i would get beat up for crying, called a crybaby and made fun of for having a reaction. every.single.day i was called fat, mocked for just walking into the room, pushed around. everyone avoided me like the plauge, no one wanted to be around me, it was worst with my ex but whatever

 

[Dinozauria]

Thankfully I never experienced actual bullying. Sure, there were a few of those mocking "Hey, you're my best friend right ???" Moments from people I did not know, and I think I've been considered weird, but other then that I had many friends.
My heart goes out to the people who didn't have many friends/got bullied in school :[ <3

 

[GyreOfAsh]

Somewhere in the middle. Wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through but nothing physically extreme happened. What hurt me most & lingers in my memory the longest are the insults about my weight & looks.

[HangMan123]

Mine wasn't that bad. It was mainly in the gym locker room. I have bad self-esteem, so I dressed in a bathroom stall instead of out in the open with the other guys (there was a bathroom inside the locker room). Got called gay/pussy a ton, had people look at me from under or over the stall and make sexual comments, got trash thrown at me from inside the stall.
One time there was a school shooting drill (I live in America ) and we were told to go into the locker rooms to basically hide from a pretend shooter. There are two gym coaches—one man and one woman—so the boys went with the man and the girls with the woman. I basically got locked in a tiny room with the teacher and all the kids were calling me names and picking on me. The teacher turned away, did nothing and started sniggering. That was pretty eye-opening.
