Ok. Uncomfortable topic for some.
How do you define bullying?
For me bullying is targeting someone unfairly MALICIOUSLY. Not in light jokes.
So er going on that definition:
How many of you have been bullied?
Or done any? (I doubt any will admit it..)
Serious topic please.

Re: Bullying
people have tried to bully me but i've i think always pushed back.
i've never actively tried to bully anyone but sometimes i catch myself going a bit overboard so i stop.
Re: Bullying
Bullying the act of attacking someone whether you are verbally or physically doing it is an act that sadly exists in some people.
I don't believe that it is a solution to anything most of the time the bully is insecure about themselves so they take it out on others.
I have never been bullied and will never do it to anyone but I will ensure that my children are bought up in the same manner and not divide people because they may have a different skin colour or beliefs
Re: Bullying
Yes! I clearly remember being bullied for my hijab! Some girl came from behind me and tried to pull the end that was hanging over my shoulder to choke me. Unfortunately I couldnt tell who it was bc it was in a crowded hallway at school. But i figured it out and made the issue go all the way up to the district superintendent's office...and bc of which the school principal who though it wasnt a 'big deal' got fired!
And im sure ive bullied, but nothing so drasticly malicious...my bullying would only be in 'defense' :P
Re: Bullying

Re: Bullying
bullied.....I dunno.
Frankly I'm not sure which is worse....the blatant and outright malicious intent of bullying...or hte more subtle jabs that have someone wondering if it was an insult or compliment. :)
Re: Bullying
In grade 7 I was bullied. We don't wanna talk to you coz you are a bloody Paki. I felt like crying. However by grade 8 I had won over everyone and we all were best mates.
Re: Bullying
I've been both made fun of and terrible bullied throughout my life. I got used to it when I was little, it all began with wearing Pakistani clothes to school (I live in Holland), my parents mostly didn't allow me to wear western clothes. I was bullied in most schools, from my childhood up to now. I don't really care about that anymore. I've gotten used to it and am actually quite happy in my life. Besides, my life isn't just filled with people who bully, but also kind friends and fun stuff. :)
Re: Bullying
Somebody very dear to me was bullied when he was 6. He would cry on the way to school and would sit in class during recess. So much so that the IDIOTIC teachers started calling him a crybaby. Being a very quiet child he would never say much, at home we had no idea. Until his dad had to move the family to another state. It was there that he wrote a story in his journal, an entire year and a half later, about how he was bullied, and how a group of boys attacked him physically (kicking and shoving etc.) a few times and then threatened him that if they saw him during recess they would beat him up. His new teacher at the new school showed the story he wrote to his parents during one of the ptms, they couldnt believe it. The little one had never complained, never said a word, just silently retreated into his shell.
