Bullies

When I was young there was this kid who bullied me all the time . I would tell him to stop and walk away . I think he was a bully because that is how his parents treated him

I think everyone gets bullied and teased, the more sensitive people in social settings tend to exprience more trauma, but everyone judges and criticizes one another regardless of age group. I delt with violent bullies from kindergarten all the way until I got to highschool. I chose to go to a school where I didn't know anyone and start over and it worked. When I run into people that used to be mean to me I laugh. Some of the girls who were popular and thought they were better than me are now un-wed mothers, college drop outs with no income potential, or genrally ugly internally if not externally. I always knew that I was going to grow up and blow everyone away. Now I'm twenty five making more money than anyone else that I ran around with when I was in school. I'm more balanced and adjusted with more success than most of them. I never let them get to me. I may have been hurt or scared to deal with things at the time, but now I get the last laugh. I let thier mean actions make me stronger than them, cuz the kinds of people who need to crush another person's sense of self to feel better are the same people who crumble like dry sand when you point out thier own short comings. They get jealous and that drives thier bad behavior.

Bullies are basically cowards who prey on those they perceive as weaker than them. When I was in school I realized fairly early on that the persona you presented to others was what they believed so I always came across as tough and self assured, even though I was neither. That kept the bullies at bay. My younger brother, on the other hand, was bullied by one kid for awhile until, on the advice of my father, he punched the boy right in the nose while the boy was in my brother's face, shoving him. Hitting someone in the nose not only hurts but produces blood which is a great visual effect. But, this was back in the 60's before every other kid in the neighborhood had access to a weapon. These days the best way to deal with a bully is to report the problem to your parents and the school administration and let them handle it. There are laws on the books that are supposed to deal with this problem.
