the truth about bullying

[axis]

bullying is alot less complex then most experts are saying
most people say that if you get bullied its because the bully is jealous
well i disagree
i will admit sometimes bullying is over nothing but that isn't always the case, if your acting like a retard or if you walk around acting like your better than everyone else then you have brought it on yourself, plain and simple
i know this is a controversial view on the subject but i am speaking from personal experience
feel free to comment

I think there are many reasons why people get bullied i think the main one is because people like to show off in front of their friends and boost their ego, or just because they don't like that person for a reason or because the person is bullied by a large amount of people for some reason. I have been in this sort of situation before and yeah it is not very nice when you have people like that trying to make fun although i am pretty sure i never did anything to bring it upon myself i am just the sort of person who would rather walk away then cause trouble.

At the end of the day i think bullies only target other people who they don't like or just simply because they know the other person won't stand up to them and do anything about it. I think bullies are the weak ones because personally in my own experience once you take control of the situation and teach them a good lesson they never give you any trouble again and if they do they make sure not to push it too far. At the end of the day it usually turns out bullies have been bullied themselves in the past and just bully others to try and feel superior or some other crazy shit.

Bullies ain't hard people they just do it because they are weak their selves because there will always be someone in the school harder than them who would smash their face in and i think that is why you see people harder than the bullies get on with stuff and not bullies others because they have no need to show they are strong.

bullying is a way for them to feel better about themselves, feel important, and control other people. And they think it makes them popular and respected. It's all there is to it really.

Their are many reasons why bullies bully people and actually because of this it is far more complex than most people think. You cannot just say someone is being bullied just for one specific reason it does totally vary. I myself have been subject to bullying (as most others have) not just in school even from those that were supposed to be "older and maturer". It happends every day for many reasons and its all to make the person that is bullying feel better about themselves, start a fight, or be controlling etc.

Ugh I can't stand people who bully others.
While i've never actually been the subject to bullying myself, when I see others getting pushed around by others it really ticks me off..

I guess in my view we are all equal so nobody should hold a greater power over anybody else, that's what it comes down to for me.. A simple case of equality, but of course there will ALWAYS be those who challenge our equality and seek to come out on top..

One final word that I shall leave you with: Karma ^_^

Whenever someone says Karma, it always brings up images of Harold Shipman or Hitler... the ones who got away...

Oh god, I had no idea who Harold Shipman was.
One Googled name later.
:dead:
And now I do know who he is.

But hey, he died on the eve of his birthday, Karma obviously kicked in coz it didn't want to see him celebrate it :vanish:

[Laika]

He hanged himself.

Just like Hitler killed himself.

They chose their fates.

I find that when a group of bullys is piking on you the best thing to do is to wait for your chance when you are by your self with them and give them a good kicking. Basically pick them of one by one.
Unles the person is strong than you then you have to come up with more complex ways

Bullying is a psychological thing and one could argue that its something of a trend that some people feel is a necessary part of life, particulary in schools.

I left school 4 years ago and i dont really recall anyone who was bullied to such an extent when i was there but theres no doubting that the ones who fall into the socially unacceptable contigent (or the "uncool" kids as it is more commonly known) are the ones who get bullied.

Bullies look for certain traits in people, an excuse for bullying someone, usually because they had shoulder length hair or still enjoyed collectible cards or didnt like sports.

This probably isnt gonna make alot of sense to some of you but the people i used to hang around with were the "in" crew, liked to play football at lunchtimes, smoked behind the front pitch bushes after school, always got detentions etc and people who didnt fit into those folds were considered "gorms". Doesnt mean to say they were bullied (though i must admit we used to throw food at them sometimes when we were stupidly bored at lunchtimes) but these are usually factors that stem bullying and anyone whose recently left school or is still at school will probably know what i'm talking about.
