Heh, I remember being bullied once when I was in middle school. It didn't last very long. I was a very quiet guy who didn't have many friends, i.e., an easy target. One day, this guy and his friends pinned me against a wall and started punching me in the stomach, asking me if it hurt. I just smiled and shook my head. They kept punching harder, but I continued smiling, refusing to give them any satisfaction. Eventually, they grew bored and gave up. That was the last time they ever attempted to bully me.

Yeah, bullies seem to get satisfaction in other people's suffering? Why? I dunno, maybe their mothers didn't hug them as children or something. But why give them any satisfaction? They sure as hell don't deserve it, and when you're older they bloody well don't deserve to be remembered.

Our school was an all girls' grammar, so didn't have a *bullying* problem, just a *bitchiness* problem. I had issues with 'friends' and particularly friends of friends. I could have handled it if it was physical, because I'm, er, like that, but verbal was harder for me. Anyway... made me into what I am today, which is mostly not very good, but it made me a little more thick-skinned.

Hahaha, that: "Remember when you used to bully me?" line was excellent. Go Zoso!

I checked out that first link of the Japanese bullying thing - there's like a random animated wave print in the middle. O__o Is that like saying: "Dudez, we're authentic Japanese site!" XD

Hey! :) You're right, they don't deserve the satisfaction and they don't deserve to be remembered. I'm not sure why some kids bully others either. Self esteem, lack of confidence, bad parenting...probably a little bit of all of them.

DR~

I could never have survived an all girls school. Especially now. In someways, I think girls can be worse than boys. We're more malicious and sneaky. Boys seem to be more straightforward.

AMEN. I always had more issues with girls in high school-- my closest friends were guys they thought were hot, and I either had the ones who'd try to weasel into my friendship or the girls threatening to beat me up if I didn't back off.

One actually tried-- she got one swing (which didn't connect) in before I proved that just because you're small doesn't make you helpless, just faster. No one tried to physically fight me after that. I got a lot of rumors, though.

Those things're HEARTLESS. But you know, it's nice to look back at them and realize that I am the only person of my graduating class to get out of that city. Also, one of the last to get married and pregnant. (I'm twenty, so that's SAYING something.)

Suu~

Most of my friends were and still are guys. If there's one thing that I can say I actually *hate* in life, it is people who lie and are sneaky. A lot of women are both of these. I just can't deal with it.

LOL@girl picking fist fight with you

Up until I was about a jr in highschool, I was scared of all those "tough girls". Then I learned that most of them were just chicks with big mouths.

My best friend in highschool had a run in with one of these girls. It was the funniest damn thing I'd ever seen.

We were in the bathroom and this girl (a wanna be gangsta) had followed us in and picked an agrument with my friend as she walked out of the stall. They stood there snarling at each other, and that stupid chick told my friend she was going to "beat her ho ass". My friend, who was happened to be one of the biggest jockettes in our school (and six foot tall), grabbed the twit by the back of the neck and slammed her head into the stall door.

It happened so fast I was a bit confused. Not to mention totally stunned. My friend wasn't the type of girl who got into fights or trouble...she was a total sweetie...so seeing her drop that bitch like a WWF wrestler left me speechless.

Heh heh, go friend! I took out my anger various other ways, actually, so I never hit anyone at school. It was tempting, though, but I knew I'd get suspended for a week if I did that. Plus, the bitching would be relentless afterwards.
