What Will You Do If Everyone Is Against You?

Hello there myLotters!
Well, my student life just came back to my mind. When I was still in elementary, there was this girl who really hates me. All the other girls in our class are following whatever she says. When she says everyone should be mad at me and hurt me, they will. When she says let us go to the canteen, they will. When she says no one should take to me, no one will. They are like little rats following her... That was why I was closer to guys when I was in elementary. Guys do not like getting involve with girls fight so they do not follow her.
I was so sad then because of my situation. I even wanted to quit from that school and transfer to a new one.
Now that I have grown up, I still see my former classmate who always wanted everyone to be angry with me for no apparent reasons. I bear with going along with her for four years. When I see her now, I remember what happened but I think we have both forgotten the bad times. In fact, we are now somewhat friends.
How about you guys? Do you have a bullying experience? Have you been like me? Have you been "bullied" or was it you who does the bullying? Thanks for sharing!

Hi dear,
Not exactly the way it is. But many of the school mates didn't like me due to no reason. I was so quite and good with most of the girls and this didn't like many of the boys and they tied to exclude me from playing and all. But I never felt hurt because for me, all those girls were the good friends. It continued for till the school life ends. Even college also the fact was not so different. I had many girls as friends as compared to boys.
Few of my friends later on agreed that they were envious with me because I had a lots of girls as friends that they wished and didn't managed to get.
Thank-s

Hi!
Yeah... Well, I remember that one of my closest boy-friend back then was actually every girl's crush... They must be really jealous... So, I still won! XD
Thanks for sharing with us!

I was bullied once in elementary. I'm a very peaceful guy and never sought conflict, but for some reason others weren't like me.
I ended up fighting because of his relentless bullying. We ended up being friends after I won, but I haven't been in a fight since then. I never liked fighting and never will. It's easier to just discuss the situation. I've been doing it for years now.
College is a lot better than any other previous school years.

Hi!
That's how I was too back then... I am as peaceful as I can be but they always hurt me. But good for the two of you you have become friends!
I think college is really a lot better. I think it is because people have matured some and are focused on studies... thanks for sharing!

I was the same as you and was depressed for 10 years I look forward now no matter what family is more important than friends!

Hi!
Yeah. During those times, my mother always tells me that my family loves me and I should not bother about those girls. That made me "survive".
I hope you succeed to in everything... Thanks!

For me, it's not bullying. I remember in the last year of my high school, we were all required to attend a week of motivational course, set to help us in preparing for the country's major exam---the GCSE 'O' Levels. That time, we were all geared up and the person who was training us, told us to write our goals down on a piece of paper and then stick it up at the ceiling. Well, my goal was to be a billionaire, at that time and when I sticked it up, there were 3 guys, sitting beside me, ridiculing and laughing at my goals, saying that I'll not make it but I chose to ignore their childish behavior. However, that was only the start. Over the next few days, they continued harassing and disturbing my friend and I, until one day, they reached the top of my limits and I sent a crescent kick to that fella's face, although not touching it. To my surprise, they were shocked and scared and from then on, they sat further from my friend and I.

LOL... Good for them. People should not laugh at others especially their dreams. Maybe they just lack of the talent to aim high and reach that so they laugh at others... LOL... I can imagine how they look like when you kicked that guy... Sometimes, people should really see you cannot always bear with them and show them what you got before they stop...
About your goal, I hope you reach it... I hope we all reach our goals!
:D

It can be very frustrating and discouraging to feel that everyone is against you. When this happens to you in school, it is something you can face daily. Rising above the situation and having courage in confidence in yourself is all you can ask. Let others see who you are.@Bannybanzie (1397)

Hi!
Yeah, you're right... It is really very frustrating. But I am happy that I have come through that state of my life successfully... I hope that everyone else who is being treated like this succeed to.
Thanks!

What would i do if everyone is against me? i would kiss myself, to be honest because i know how it is like to be when everyone( well most people) is against someone because they will feel alone and isolated. I have been bullied once because i am asian and studied in europe. they are really racist and they don't care about other people other than themselves. well, some of them are nice but they bullied me because they are weak and they want to feel powerful and that is why they bullied me. they bullied me because my accent was different and they made fun of me and thankfully, because of them i improved my english accent and i am fluent.
I would never never bully someone because i know how it feels and people who bully are the weakest!

Hi!
I agree with you.. Many people bully others because they want to prove that they are dominant, that they are powerful... But it is not really the sign of strength. Being strong means you can cope with the situation while thinking clear and avoiding fights as much as possible.
There are really lots of racist people... Come on.. They should stop being like that. We are all just humans... Right?
Thanks!

My daughter has been dealing with some bullying the last couple of years. She has been in an all girls school, and girls really do know how to bully. With her, it has not been physical bullying, only verbal with plenty of attitude.
This has often upset my wife and I, and the teachers at school are aware.

I never had that problem in school for two reasons. The first was that I have a brother who is a year younger than I am and he was always pretty tough so no one messed with his older or his little sisters. Secondly, I learned early on that the neighborhood was better than the schoolyard. I had friends from the neighborhood who were older than me, the same age as me and younger than me. When we went to school anyone who thought about giving me a hard time knew they would have to deal with my friends who were older than they were. The fact that I was pretty nice and easy to get along with helped, too. And, no, I was never a bully. I weighed 95lbs when I graduated from high school.

Hello!
Wow... How I wished I had a tough brother with me during that time... It's really good when there are strong people around you to protect you. No one would really try even to touch the tip of your hair... :) Thanks for sharing!

when i saw this question i immediately thought of school too. apparently, almost everyone has a hard time then. but is all because they're imature and they don't realise that at that age, many could feel that the whole world acts like them and get depressed, it happened a lot. though in some countries is worse than in others.. i didn't knew that some would put toilet paper for example on someone's house just to make fun of someone.. this will never happen in my country, and yet it happens a lot of times in other places. i find it extremely stupid to do that
