Bullying At School

[The Duncan 802]

martial arts /boxing lessons instill a sense of pride in yourself and respect for others,any sport is good,but not all kids take to the usual football or rugby options

Not always though.

I was mentally bullied for 5 years until I flipped out and mashed one if them in the final year.

I'd been doing martial arts from the age of 6. Guess I had a long fuse eh?

I got bullied through my school years, when I was younger I couldn't handle it and my parents found out and the school dealt with it. When I was older, 14, 15, 16, I just knuckled under as ya do but never had the courage to fight back, just f***ing gutless really. After my school years though it changed me, turn into a man or whatever but I wouldn't take the snidey cowardly shites then.

 

Kids can be evil, but strangely I do believe being bullied teaches a kid a hard life lesson early on.

Fighting has got nothing to do with courage mate.......the bloke who is willing to go the furthest wins, simple, and you never want to be in the position of having to be that bloke...........being brave has got nothing to do with it

 

If you can take a walk out of the situation then that's the very best option

Aye, but taking shit everyday off of your 'mates' and wanting so bad to smash their heads through the nearest window but feeling absolutely powerless, just leaves a kid feeling like a weak coward. I grew up a learnt a lot about myself and what happened, what you say is true but try telling a 14/15 yr old lad that. It changed me for the better but some poor b*****ds never manage to deal with it.

Good parents do their very best to prepare their kids for life, but at some point it comes down to the kid him/herself to act for themselves. As I've said, bullying teaches you a hard lesson at a young age if nothing else.

The best way to stop a bully is to go straight to the source .... The home ... My eldest daughter was getting bullied by another girl in her year .... Started off with name cling silly rumours etc but when the school and their hairy fairy ways did nothing substantial about it the bullying became physical .... I was away at the time and it was 6 weeks before I got back ... On my first night home I knocked the bully's door and asked politely for her father and when he came to the door I explained to him that whatever his daughter did to mine I would repay him tenfold with great pleasure ...... Strangely enough the bullying stopped instantly .......

spot on socks and the people saying the schools are top of bullying there not believe me that was my first place i went to my nine year old lives for his football very good grades at school then the two local schools merged together and these four lads made my lads life hell and many others didnt want to go to school which was not like him any way found out who the ring leader was pulled him with his dad after school told him this is my lad if his son even looks at my son the wrong i know were you live and we will take it from there my kids are my life god for bidden anyone who ever lays a hand on any of mine john

Was bullied in my last two years at school not by a pupil but by a complete arsehole of of an arts teacher who took an instant dislike to me and my best mate, and tried to make our lives hell. when we left school bumped into him in a local pub ffs he tried to be our best mate could see he was crapping his self. I stood at 6ft 1 and my mate dwarfed me.Funnily enough my mate said leave the bstard alone, no chance i thought couple of nights later landed a right hook to his chin as he came out of the pub bog,he never saw what was coming, made the local paper about how he had been mugged, what a load of bollocks. YIS KIC.

Is that really the best thing to do though?

my cousin was a bully at school and nobody knew until the teacher rang my uncle,who sorted it right away.

 

he's certainly not a man you'd want to threaten,but approached reasonably he'd sort it out right away, as would I,or any decent parent.

The school I was at was not the best in the area, but it was the only one! We used to joke our school song was "I can't read or write, but I can drive a tractor!".

Our deputy headmaster was known as the Penguin (small, rotund) and the headmaster was known as Batman (from his habit of wearing the full gown on stage (a gown being the robe worn to denote full university education over a suit). The one thing they did not allow was bullying, the teachers were hard on bullies, as was the deupty headmaster. What most of the bullies (who were exclusively years 1-4 or newcomers) did not know was that he was a swordsman, as in fencing and had the full range of weaponry in his study! You get called in to see the deputy headmaster and all that is behind him is a complete rack of swords and your mind focuses. In those days you could still be caned, he used to demonstrate his caning ability with an epee on the newspaper on his desk! I know this as I took fencing for PE in the fifth year! I was helping him get the fencing equipment out during break time and he showed me his bully intimidation technique and he said that they never knew if they were caned or foiled, but he never used the foil (epee).

Feck me seems everybody was bullied

 

I was probably a candidate for being bullied just never was.

i was buyllied in me younger days and i still get bullied by people on here calling me names.........................lol

being a fat kid really has its down fall because you knew you could batter them but catching them in the playground just wouldnt happen..........

As a youngster of 14 to 18 I think you need at some stage to stand up for yourself and confront your demons to make yourself feel better and slide into the realms of living your life always wishing you had stood up to the bullies otherwise as an adult I think there is a very real chance of carrying that chip around with you for a long time ..........

 

As a parent you do have to be carefull how far you allow you child to go once they find their feet .... Once I learned I could take a good dig and handle myself I was a fukcing nightmare ... I was never a bully but I would fight at the drop of a hat which ended up with me spending 6 months in a detention centre for Gbh .......

 

When my eldest daughter was a couple of months old I was I front of the judge again looking at a 5 stretch for malicious Gbh ..... God only knows why I didn't go down but that gave me a wake up call ......

 

If I am in a situation now and somebody wants to have a crack I would offer them a pint and apologise rather than get into a ruck unless its my kids or missus then things are different .......

 

As the line from the film goes .... Be nice until its time not to be nice ..........
