Is bullying that bad?

[cindylou]

It's very complicated, and I can say first-hand that it can do permanent damage to a kid who is bullied. I was bullied as badly as anyone can be, and I still have issues from it. Bullies aren't evil, but they have no clue just how much damage they do. The bully victim would be better off getting his/her face slashed once, than to be bullied year after year. It's that bad! Take it from a nerd with high-functioning autism.

idk about that lol. A lot of those jackasses grow up to be adult bullies in the workplace, sociopaths, psychopaths, etc. Terrible to be around, they make everyone miserable. Abby is not old enough for this, female bullying is a little different, mostly verbal but equally as malicious... but it's something she has to learn to deal with, it does not exactly go away once you grow up.

Depends on what kind of bullying it is. Verbal or physical. It can get really serious for some. But ya I'am also getting pretty sick of hearing it on the news all the time. Regardless on how much people preach or do whatever there's always gonna be bully's no matter what.

This is what I try to tell ppl.. No matter what you try to do there will always be bullying. That's why this bullying bill that they keep trying to
Pass and having lady gaga preach about will do nothing. As a kid, I
Got picked on. My brother taught me how to fight, and when someone that was bigger picked on me he would kick their ass... When I would see someone getting picked on I would stand up to the bully.

Just yesterday some kid hung himself about getting picked on or some shit. What pisses me off is to know that so many of these kids are on anti depressants or other psychotropic drugs. It could be that these drugs are doing more harm
Than good to a young kid. When u see anti depressant commercials you hear all the negative side effects that can happen. One being that it can actually increase suicidal thoughts. Kids just need to be tougher and kids need to know that's it's ok to go their parents and talk about the issues. Social media does not help in this regard.

There was one girl that I tormented in high school. She would steal all my boyfriends! Lol but really, she didn't deserve the two YEARS of torment I gave her. I mean girl'd the hell out of her, got people to hate her and talked about her behind her back, called her fat, I was awful...just to her, I can't believe I was capable of being so mean to someone. I was close to my psychology teacher and he saw what I was doing and he told me I needed to make amends with people say I was sorry to whomever because I might not get the chance again and when he said that I thought of her but blew him off... he was right though, it haunted me for years as I lost contact and I always wanted to tell her I was sorry for the way I treated her. 9 years later I ran into her and her mom during the holiday season, and I know they recognized me, so I gave her an apologetic smile and stopped to chat for just a minute. I told her I was sorry, and she seemed to accept my apology.

It was kinda like the mean girl movie. lolomg.

Psychs will script for ANYTHING. It's unreal how that world works. I almost have more respect for a psychologist than a psych.

Respect cindy, not many ppl would have done tht. Hell when we are young we all do dumb shit, but it's being able to realize what we did wrong and taking responsibility for our actions that separates many ppl. I wish ppl would realize tho that bullying has always been around and will always be around. No matter how many laws or more rights they try to take away from us..

The verbal girl shit is way worse than physical boy bullying.

I firmly believe middle/high school aged girls can be way way more evil than boys. I had an awesome school experience but my sister had a terrible time. Prob one of the reasons she has so many probs these days.

I read it in the daily mail. Just google "kid hangs himself" in news section. Kid was from Boston. He was bullied so he stood up for himself and he got suspended. He hung himself.
