Bullying? Why?

BuppazuganIt's easier said then done, Paddette. Some people can be very fragile, and for some reason they care what people think about them.

Yes. I am not a vain person, by a long shot, and I know my flaws, but if people point out that say... I have a receding hairline (thanks genetics!), I just shrug it off, because I already came to terms with the fact I will be bald, guaranteed, so having something pointed out, well... Why worry?If people learned to actually like themselves and accept themselves there would be no such thing as bullying, via the medium of words, it would just be banter.

gavilatiusbullying is a way for individuals to feel superior by engaging in terrorist acts against another individual... this is due because of several factors:inferiority complex: the constant need to be stronger than others, this "strength" is enacted by physical engagements of brutality (i.e. beating up a younger kid to prove that he is not a weakling)"just because" complex: where an individual has the opportunity to overpower another individual deemed weak (i.e. beating up a classmate to take their lunch money)"euphoria" complex: where an individual feels "better" by hurting someone."win/lose" complex: where a bully thinks physical harm is a sort of competition, where he must "win" and another must "lose"others may include sexual complexes: where a bully feels sexual pleasure hurting another of the same or opposite sex (wife beaters), or emotional complexes: where one must hurt another to feel like they are wanted...but most engage in bullying because they feel like they have to make someone hurt to make the bullier feel better about themselves... I hate bullies, and my father too.my father had been bullied lots of times when he was younger, due to the fact of his thin physical frame and thick glasses. I have been bullied too for the acne and glasses portion of my early teens (12-13). My father and I put a stop to it and he explained to me that HIS parents didn't do anything to resolve the bullying to him, and for that he resented them and bullying altogether. I still think of the time where I got pizza thrown into my face walking home... I stood my ground and I was about to fight (2 against me) and out of the corner of my eye I saw my friends walk away from me, (why? I thought we were going to stick together?) the only reason I didn't get my ass pounded into the sidewalk was the fact that some old lady waving a broom yelled (more liked screamed) at us and threatened to call the police, the bullies looked at her and laughed, while I used it as a diversion and escaped (also using my awesome ninja skills to gather intel of where they lived :) ), I told my father later that night and we resolved it at 2:00 am with their parents (nothing like a rude awakening), they stopped the next day... we nipped it on the bud.the fact that people engage in bullying is ridiculous, either from peer pressure or whatnot, it is wrong and it must stop...it is up to all of us to stop bullying

I guess i used to fall into the "Just-Because" complex. There was really no insecure reasons behind it, maybe it was peer pressure? I don't understand why i did it myself, like i said at the time it felt like harmless fun, but back then i had no idea how upset some people get by this kinda thing.

heh...pokemon is really crap...
and he is also a pussy for trying to kill himself...
grow some balls and stand up...
if i was him i would just ignore but if they persisted i would fucking beat the fuck out of them (doesn't matter how tough they are when that much hate builds up it's like a freaking limit break it will pwn)one of my friends is a bully...but i pity him cause he's really stupid...i get to understand why people bully...it's cause they don't understand...

If my friend turned into a bully, I would try to reason with him and if not, I hate to say it... I would fight him and leave him a bloody mess on the floor, because I hate them, and I'm older and I can now fight back.

Doesn't that make you a bully aswell?

Jonez001Okay,
I know somebody who is 19 and still play Pokémon! And he is bullied for it. But now he almost killed him self! So bad was the bulling going. And why? Because he said: "Pokémon is good."Should you bully some one because he or she said that pokémon is good or something like that?Or what would you do?I said to him: "Meaby you should say that to people form who you don't know what they find of Pokémon."He is now a friend of mine but he has the same opion of me.Bulling is shit! Give feedback to persons for not getting embrased again.So, what is your opion about bulling? Or are you a victim that seeks help?
We are here to help you people!
Together for ever!

Woah thare...I still enjoy a good round, and I'm 22!I just don't care what other's think, it's a game, heck i still watch playschool when I'm bored XDBut what kind of bullying are we talking about here, it must be ether extreme or he couldn't take it...THat said, I'm a by product of bullying, I've become hot tempered rather than the scared quiet guy because of what I've been dealt with, I tend to get destructive when things don't go my way and...on the odd occasion I bully myself (which is why I isolated myself-it's a tad tempting).And in my final few years of school (or high school I should say) I was throwing chairs around active class rooms simply because i was laughed at because my veiws made no sence...or the fact I was and still am...a teacher's pet, they laughed harder because i would always miss because I simply can't aim when I'm THIS mad.I've become anti social in real life and stuck to being online where txt just doesn't matter, but as some of you know I still flare up, I've lost a lot of respect for those around me in which I once gave respect to before because i felt they could have helped me more back in those times...

NatewlieYou guys get bullied for liking Pokemon?When I graduated, and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl were coming out everyone my age was fucking pumped, everyone's status on facebook at the time was "FUCKING POKEMON HOLY FUCK". Including Patty's.

It depends on the group, this might be a group where all geekish tendancies are withdrawn/held back.I know in my group I'm still a kid despite the fact that i not only own them in golden eye, but I can actually play and (GASP) understand resident evil's...well everything (they can't even control the older games-tanks controls XD).It's because they are games :(

That logic is the result of a "grade A" student stabbing a bully in a toilet block in his school here in Australia recently.12-13yr's...damn...not sure what over but seeing as the so called grade A kid did the stabbing then I suppose we can see the circle of hate grow...

I never been bullied, since i'm too apathetic.
So i always ignore what people say to me about me.

no, it makes me morally conscience

Wait what?If you can't reason with a friend that's picking on you, you'd beat him up? That's not morally conscience, that's immaturity.

Like they say, two wrongs don't make a right.

Back then, when I was a little kid and emotionally numbed, I was bullied a lot. I don't know, I guess it was because I was so quiet, and always kept to myself, and always read, and stuff like that. But being so numbed to everything that pertained to human social interaction, I never actually noticed I was bullied. It's only in hindsight, that... It's a bit sad, but at the very least I wasn't too sad as a result.Not all bullies are cowards. Some are pretty bold, and full of themselves. And yet I never saw it, until after a few years later on. There are things I could've done, should've done back then... People were being harassed in front of me but I never saw it. I wonder about them, whether they're all right now. I wish I could've done something, but I can't change the past, at least not now.Then, when I was ten, I understood I was being bullied. Man, did that open a can of worms. On one hand, I wanted to kill them. But on the other hand, I didn't want to hurt anyone. Ending a life, ending a life so suddenly, even if the person alive isn't worth anything... That frightened me a lot. I didn't want to hurt anyone, causing pain like. But I hated them. How could they ause pain to others to consciously and willingly? You should've seen all these intricate plans I came up with. Or, maybe not.It's easier for a bully to pick on someone alone and isolated. In a group, it's not so easy. And most bullies don't like to pick on someone with a healthy dose of self-confidence, unless they're REALLY self-confident. Being friends with that guy who likes Pokémon might really do to increase his sense of self-worth, yeah?

really i get fucking bully for playing computer games XD but i still have friends really a few other kids must like pokemon

It is been said that people who are been bullyied will bully later!

someone tried to bully me 1st day at a new school so i broke his arm, next 3 years nobody said a word for some reason....

no, its not... its justice"speak softly and carry a big stick: you will go far"

I agree with beating up bullys, but there is two problems with that at my school:1.If I beat up every bully almost everyone would be in the ER
2.At our school they are really tight on hurting people, you break someones nose and they suspend you. :(

Breaking noses generally isn't a good thing...
