Did you experience being bullied when you were a kid? How did you handle it?

There were these two guys in my junior school who would try to have their way no matter what. They would beat someone up and talk foul just to establish their superiority. Being the captain of the cricket team, I did not want my team to get bogged down by them. They didn't deserve a place in the side but would try to force their way in.I always confronted them because I knew that those 14 yr olds were too young to cause any significant damage in front of the school authorities.
bullying is a serious problem and we need to instill confidence in our children to confront it rather than be bogged down and lose confidence.

well there was a real bully in my class and i guess it was the 5 or 6 th grade... i have always been the quiet one in the class, that guy used to bully everybody, everybody so hated him, he even looked like a crooked... honestly he did look that way and no one liked him at all, he was a loner and liked to bully others for the smallest of things, he hadn't done anything much with me coz i think bullies don't much bother with the silent ones coz they think they don't have the fun in bothering us... they always catch the smart ones of the class

so one day what happened, we were playing soccer and he started kicking everybody and made many excuses as if kicking the ball... i don't why it bothered me so much at that time, i just went up to him and without saying a word just knocked up a punch on his face, HAHAH i guess silent people like me don't at all like the bullies ... i honestly don't know what made me do that... i think i was trying to be a hero i guess... or maybe i wanted to impress the girls or something, but the fact is that i did it!

he started crying and all were cheering me and no one complained the school authority that i smashed someone up coz noone like him and of course he being a bully wouldn't approach the authority ... and so there were no charges on me.... it was so funny to watch him cry like a baby and all of us were cheering...

i think bullies are very sensitive and insecure hence they like to bully others to hide their feelings... but honestly now i think what i did is wrong and don't tend to take things that way now... i have grown up i guess... HEHEH

anyways it felt nice to share my story:)
have a nice day keatondrunk:)

my imagination handled it well. the bully who bullied me had his eyes taken out, his skin sheared, his hair burned, his fingers chopped off one by one and his tongue sliced in two the night i couldn't sleep. the next day, i asked him if he could lend me money. he did. years after, he became the best man at my wedding.

when i was in 6th grade my boy classmates would tease me!!! one time i got so angry i spanked them all!!! and the next day they never go near me and teased me!!! when we are in high school, i cant believe it, they are gentle and kind...
