Did You Ever Have to Deal With a Bully When You Were in School?

Bullies only pick on the weak because they are weak themselves and have to conceal their insecurities through aggressive behavior. I tell my grandchildren not to be afraid to stand up for their rights. AND I will back them up 100%

My eldest will starting school in September. As much as I may be a little worried, I know she is going to a good school. I know a lot of parents who either have kids there or have had kids go to the school, and it doesn't seem to be a major problem at the school. I've only heard good things about it, which does help a little.

I always ask my son if somebody bullies him at school but his answer is always no and that's a relief for me. The headmaster at my son's school seems to be watchful about bullying and they always have activities that allow children to get to know about each other. They have student officers that roam around school to watch out for bullies too. When I was in student I saw a lot of bullies among my classmates but none dared bullied me.

It is a problem here too. Many of the schools try to deal with it but I'm not sure how successful it is.

My eldest son experienced once and that was like a devastating moment for him...how many kids do you have?

Sad thing happened here in the fall. A fourth grader was bullied so bad at school by the children and some of the same children lived in his neighborhood and bullied him at home also. He thought there was no way out and hung himself. His grandmother said she had been to the school several times and nothing had been done. She had went to the parents of the children doing the bullying and the parents just said kids will be kids. I can believe this. My daughter is the type of child that tries to get along with everyone no matter what and no what what is done or said to her lets it roll off her back. Well, I found out a group of kids were bullying here at school and online. So I went to the school with her tablet in hand as proof. The principal told me we will talk to them. So it kept on. So I contacted the parents and were told by these so called parents well you know how kids are, they don't mean nothing by it, kids will be kids.If it were my child doing this and I found out about it she'd be in some deep trouble with me. But, since the school or the other parents do not want to do nothing about it, I told my daughter if they keep it up to knock the hell out of them and it would stop when they saw she was not going to take their crap!

I was bullied nearly my entire school life and tried to kill myself when I was 12 because of it. Luckily, the bullies did not know or they would have redoubled their efforts. To this day I struggle with my self image and won't look into a mirror unless I have to because I "know" I'm ugly. I cannot understand why no one is working on truly correcting their behavior. Their brains are wired wrong. Many studies like the one I'm linking to have been done and yet it is not publicized as it should be. If kids knew bullies had what I would call a disability, perhaps they would not take the torment so seriously and lives could be saved! But no, nobody pays any attention to this important research. I can't think why.

I fought bullies several times in my life ( I am not advising anybody to do it), it's just that it's one of the best way to make it stop and only when it becomes unbearable, a bully should understand that he chose the wrong guy to pick on Bullying does not stop in school, in fact its always a threat in our daily life in another form such as in work or business. Countries bully other weaker countries My children do not get bullied because I stand by them come what may so long as they are right and I emphasize this to them.

I had experienced this during my high school days. It is only one thing for sure. They are full of insecurities.

I am victim of bullied when I was in Junior High School.
