Bullying

[DarkHalo003]

My Freshmen year of High School, this kid who was basically a bully (and a complete douche) tried to fight me over my not playing volleyball right in gym class. He kept shoving me and cursing me out, which I let him so the teacher would react and do something (not sure if she did just then), and I was laughing so damn hard on the inside because it was so fucking stupid of how and why he was trying to pick a fight. I don't know if he went off because of some other shit (the guy was a douche to begin with, so I doubt he "snapped") in his life, but honestly that's when bullying went from funny as hell to shitty. The following year, I really lost my stoicism (problems and events outside of school) and mental abuse really got to me after a year of me not giving a fuck. Now I don't give a fuck three years later after seeing how a lot of these high school shits realize they're going to the real world will they can be utterly fucked for not making peace with anybody. Of course, the ones who remain douchebags are called "Frats."

I never got bullied, in fact if anything I could've probably been seen as a bully.

i got bullied for liking girls in middle school...

then in highschool nobody fucked with me. i never knew why, until one day near the end of my senior year, this girl asked me if "the rumors were true" that i was in the mafia. apparently people thought i was in the mafia because im quiet and italian.

things have mellowed out now. i get the occasional retard criticizing me for playing HvZ at college now, but the soviet ushanka and big coat during the winter seems to do a good job of deterring any would-be harasser. i guess people are afraid of fur or something, idk.

Yeah no one really messes with you after you deck someone. Changing your attire so you look like you just stepped out of (into?) the Matrix doesn't hurt either. :P

I can make friends and fit into pretty much any social-group to the point of not being an "outsider". Was never really bullied, however I was that kid who was always looked upon like a loaner in Jr High and High School. Mostly because I'd rather keep to myself than seek out new friendships and/or engage in group-activities.

i was involved in literally every social group, ethnic or otherwise, simply because i'm not a 1 dimensional person, i had problems earlier on, untill i made a few points.

hell the people i was fighting, 5 minutes later i was talking and laughing with them in detention.

Everything was fine and dandy in primary school, the world was a fabulous and happy place. Then I hit the last year in primary school (aged 10), a guy in my class decided to pick on me, he wasnt big, wasnt even strong really - I'd say we were level on size and strength. He used to irritate me in the playground, push me around, wasnt that much but it was more like a hostile stalker.

Once day I was going about my jolly business of running around like a headless chicken like every 10 year old does. I stopped for a breather by 'The Wall' - which basically was the only section of the playground that was not fence and was a brick wall. Gary (the other guy) happened to be nearby, but at the time I didnt know of it. A girl ran into me (accidentally) and I fell into Gary, he instantly turned around and punched me in the left eye. I was temporarily blinded in my eye (3 days) and I went to the eye doctor who said I was lucky to not be permanently blinded, but I would have to wear glasses now.

So thats when I/my parents made a 'no holding back formal complaint', we had made complaints before but this was like total proof of it.

As a side note, turned out Gary was bullying me because he was having issues at home, think his dad was only partly in the picture.

So yeah secondary school I was picked on for having glasses, one dude pretty much had anger problems and I seemed to be 'the easy target' to attack. I decided to pull myself out of the school when one day he kept throwing chairs at me (the ones with fixed legs, throwing them leg first at me). You wouldnt believe the amount of policy BS and trouble you get into for just 'quitting school'.

I only had to wear glasses for 2 years, but by then the damage was done =\. Between then and now a lot has happened, good and bad.

If I could confront Gary now, what would I do? Well the adult solution would be to talk it over, but no - till the day I die I would like to kick the shit out of him (only once). Maybe that makes me as bad as him, and I dont like laying blame, but in reality his actions have had repercussions throughout the rest of my life.

tr;dr - bullying sucks, and sadly I think they will never be able to get rid of it at school. (Generally speaking) teachers don't know how to resolve the bullying issues, and as out generation are starting to become teachers, we still don't know how to stop it, we only know it as 'its bound to happen', sadly.

As for if I fighted back? I didnt really sadly, even at my age back then I didnt want to get into trouble fighting, so I figured if I just let it happen at least I won't get in trouble for fighting. I know that sounds weird and stupid, but in life I am always constantly thing of what the consequences could be. Its why if I get into a fight in the street, my mind will be thinking of "oh, what happens if I punch him hard, he falls down and hits his head on the ground and dies, I would be done for manslaughter".

I hated glasses because I felt they made me far less attractive throughout middle school and high school. I also felt they made me an easy target for shitheads to pick on. If some guy would have made me wear glasses because of an injury he inflicted, I probably would have straight up maimed him. It is, however, glorious to see these assholes cringe in fear when they think they've broken your glasses though.
