When I was in middle school I was bullied a lot, and I told the administration, the principal, etc. but they never did anything, because the bullies parents were basically paying the bills at the school. It's sickening how much power these people have, and while there was nothing I could do I'm glad you were able to make a change and good difference in that school.
While I wish I could have fought back, I'm only a girl, I had no real strength or power. And while I tried to fight back mentally and with wit it never turned out well, I just didn't have the courage for it back then. I'm much stronger now, both physically and mentally, and it's true that being bullied helped me achieve that, but I wish it still hadn't happened because it truly did scar me for all this time. It's something you'd like to forget but it becomes so ingrained in you that you can't escape it.
Ever since that horrible bullying I've always been extremely self-conscious and I always look down. I tell myself that those bullies are not doing so well in life and that I'm doing better than them, but that's only true half of the time. Unfortunately a lot of them have gone on to live successful lives, no doubt back springing off of the wealth of their parents. But life is never fair, so the only thing I can do is to better myself and hope I will be rewarded in kind someday.
Yep. I was bullied by a bunch of girls all through high school. A couple of black leather black lipstick seniors decided I was their new target. Didn’t know them and had never talked to them.
One day I was running late for class. I was by my locker getting my books and in a rush because I had to run to the next class. They surrounded me. Started talking smack and I was in such a panic because I didn’t want to be late. So I punched the leader in the temple. I was holding a pen between my fingers and the pen scratched her temple.
Needless to say she was shocked. She held up her hands and started shaking like she just won miss America. I told her “I’m sorry I hurt you, I don’t even know you. You need to Leave me the fuck alone!” And after that. They did.
Nothing shuts a bully up more than defense of self. Ralphie in Christmas story with Scutt Farkus. Lol. Sweet example
