Did you bully kids at school ?

[Jack Reacheround]

Yes and no. There was a group of kids who were popular, had rich parents who donated money to the school, and we’re loved by the teachers and allowed to get away with murder. They were bullies. So a friend and I would bully them and stick up for the kids they were trying to bully.

They were scared of us and it was hilarious.

Same here, I mostly bullied other kids on my HS sports teams, except I was a much bigger kid than you. I started varsity football as a freshman, which pissed off some juniors/seniors who bullied me which I then took out on them and other kids.

Definitely feel bad about it. I never bullied kids before my experience being “hazed” in HS football, and never did again afterwards. Something I’m not too proud of for sure.

I feel bad about going too hard on kids that shouldn't have even been on the field when I was in jr high. We would do scrimmage or hitting drills, and I would full on blast some 110lb prepubescent kid without an athletic bone in their body only to laugh about it later.

I knocked that shit off in HS. I wasn't a big kid at that point, but I was a starting varsity RB for two seasons. When we would scrimmage the scout team to get ready for a game, I wouldn't just wreck some JV kid to be a douche at that point. I think it's part of growing up, and in my case, I had a rough go my freshman year with getting bullied myself. I played on the freshman team, but I made the scout team for the playoffs and got to practice as well as dress down for the varsity playoff games. We actually lost state that year, so it was like a month of hell. The varsity dudes were fucking pricks. I was one of the scout team running backs, and they would show me no mercy. I remembered that a few years later when I was one of the older guys scrimmaging the scout team. I wouldn't just lower my pads and nuke some JV kid to be a dick.

yes sir!

im half chicano half white.
my dad lived in the barrio and my mom married a rich dude and lived in the burbs. I lived weekends with my dad and school days with my mom. because the schools were much better in the burbs they decided on that split.

it was pretty confusing at first. i never felt like i fit in in the burbs school and got bullied alot. then the immigration wave from the mid 90's hit and the school in the burbs became about half 1st gen immigrant kids. then it became more about bullying the immigrant kids vs native born kids. i felt i belonged because the kids who were bullying me suddenly had me on tgheir side to bully the new kids.
i remember because one day all the kids from the american side were calling the new kids 'beaners' and trying to start a big fight. I was shouting it too. then the head teacher said " you are a beaner!" and then all the kids turned on me again. was a pretty awkward convo with my dad i asked him if i really was a beaner... LOL

in high school i cooled off on bullying was too much into training and partying.

LOL dad am I a beaner. For some reason I thought the imigrant kids were gonna bully the white suburbian kids. Aren't immigrants always tougher.

not really as there was a language barrier at the time so it would often turn out like a prison movie with half on one side and half on the other side
waiting to make a move
plus this was like 2nd grade nobody was tough
also yes when fists were thrown the suburban kids usually ended up on the short end

in the Barrio we would have a fight usually with suburban kids it was one hit and then run crying to the teacher

not really a racial thing though as there were plenty of white kids that could scrap who were either living in the hood or from hood adjacent places

 

[Deleted member 577981]

i bullied kids who were bullies all through middle school and high school. im not proud of it because i think there are better ways to handle that kind of thing but at the time its all i had.

 

[shockaholic12]

I was voted class clown and directed almost all my hijinks towards teachers and authority figures.

But there was a point I heard a group of less privileged kids who had a peer group they met in weekly brought up not liking me. I felt really shitty, though don’t remember ever singling any of them out for jokes. Maybe it was just what I represented to them or maybe I had bullied them and didn’t realize. Still think about this shit.

 

[GSP_37]

No.

Classmate used to bully younger kids calling them gay. I'm pretty sure his little bro is actually gay.

So you're from America and call the Spanish hoods - Barrio. Did I understand that. Cause Barrio sounds like somewhere in Latin America to me.

One day I punched one of them and they stopped. I got bullied verbally and only slightly phisically, didn't get hit or anything.

Confronting them is the only effective method to end bullying imo since teachers are completely useless despite fully knowing they're bullies from the very beginning. I did the same after I couldn't handle it anymore and lost my shit in front of everyone, it worked. Then in another school, I responded back by punching him in class and the teacher broke up. In both schools, my coward classmates lowkey praised me. The suspensions were worth it 100x.

 

[MichiganMMA1978]

I only bullied kids I saw bullying other kids. That shit always irked me.

 

[Simian Raticus]

I could be a dickhead sometimes but I never systematically targeted other kids.

 

[mozfonky]

If you have what are the reasons and do you regret it ? Did you apologize ?

If you were bullied you can post about that too.

I personally only got bullied for 1 year on the way to school by kids who were way older. One day I punched one of them and they stopped. I got bullied verbally and only slightly phisically, didn't get hit or anything.

I never bullied noone. Did something wrong yes, but regulary bullied definitely no. I didn't bully period. Did do a mistake here and there.

Discuss if you feel comfortable with the topic.

i was really a bully as a pre 5 year old and got into a lot of fights, not sure what that was about but a new kid came and cured me of that by whopping my ass. Later on in high school, there was one oddball that I was very cruel to. Everyone was because he was so odd. That's bothered me all these years, I don't know what's become of him. I could see him becoming a recluse or even an inpatient at some asylum. He was that off, but he was actually highly intelligent. No idea whatever happened to him but I've felt guilty ever since. Truth is, we were a lot alike, I've always been an oddball and outcast myself, that's probably why I busted his balls so much.

Sort of bullied but didn't really last long. This dude was shorter than me but he was part of the black gang at school. He talked a good game and I didn't know shit about shit. After about a month of picking on my I told him " let's go box in the bathroom". We agreed to no face shots. In my mind I was ready to get my ass kicked but couldn't let this dude keep fucking with me. So we started punching each other. It didn't hurt as bad as I was expecting so I started putting some pressure on him and he ends up kicking me. I called him a pussy for kicking and we just stopped and went back to class. Back in the day the only manly was to fight was boxing so him kicking me was kinda a bitch move.

ya, some people still have those ideas, you'll see it in youtube fights. A streetfight is a streetfight, depending on the circumstances each and everything goes. You don't want to be playing by non-existent rules when a knife, gun are used, or multiple people show up. The sheer unpredictability of that kind of violence is why you should try to end it any way you can as soon as you can. Of course, you guys were just kids.

Google him. Facebook. Instagram. Full name and city.

Did you abuse him Verbal or also phisically.

just verbal but it was cruel. I tried all that, that's why I think he may have met a bad end in some way. No hint of him online. I did run into a classmate of ours about 15 years ago and mentioned how badly I felt about how I was. I had and have an ugly side, I never liked it or was comfortable with it. Thank god I've aged out of most of it. I regret a lot of things about how I used to be. However, I do have to admit, I've gotten it back undeservedly in a lot of cases too. People are just nasty, in fact, overall, I'd say that I should have been a lot crueler in the past, I woulda kept a lot of assholes out of my life. So, it's not like I was a pure bully.

 

[Goodfella86]

Never. But I talked shit about everybody behind their backs.

 

[elreece]

nah i was the big guy in my year had really bad acne but no one ever shit to me an if I ever saw piss ants picking on kids i pulled them right up.

Bullies are absolute pussies.

 

[Ballsaque]

Sure, I was fucking with a lot of different people. Not systematically though, mostly due to boredom and ADHD, and of course not to get targeted my self.

 

[Ogata]

Hahaha. I know you would take it well. I enjoy interacting with you man, your urban legend thread is awesome.

Respect and thank you for reminding. I actually forgot about it but revisited and holy shit I missed some good shit!

K-3 I was too nice. Bullied a kid in fourth grade when I moved schools to an all boys school and felt I had to pick on the weak ones (socially) to prove I was no push over. All unnecessary as at the years father son camp I ended up squaring off with one of the largest boys in the grade and after a spirited one vs one (where the larger boy was able to demonstrate wwf moves like clotheslines etc while I fought back fiercely) I had gained the respect of the year without needing to resort to petty verbal/social bullying.

Bullied him and another kid until half way through 5th grade (along with another boy) until their parents complained and took them out of the school (the whole year was 25 boys and those two had no friends amongst the lot).

The teacher was like "you guys are nice, good boys, there's no need to do that" and we both kinda sat there after and were like "yeah why did we do that"? Never bullied anyone again after that (I think the other bully and me reflected two boys had left the school mainly because of us and all we had got was a small talking to where the teacher had mainly said nice things, which was far better than what we deserved).
