i was bullied a bit in elementary school. i switched schools a lot and every time at the beginning someone would pick on me, but didn't last long.
first time i was bullied it lasted only a couple of days, it was the 4th grade. my bully kept walking behind me in class and smacking me in the head or kicking me, so i waited for him to do it again and i staved him with my pencil in the stomach. it didn't penetrate but i drew blood.
i'm not a violent person nor am i confrontational but i had never been bullied before so i didn't know the protocol. anyway, they didn't back off (twin brothers), they threaten to hurt me but i ignroed them and they never did anything.
5th grade i went to a new school and started over again. this guy would threaten me, but i didn't stave him, just ignored him. i was just learning english and people would make fun of my accent and one day, this older kid grabbed a guy that was taunting by the neck and pushed him onto his desk and told him to stay away from me.
those were pretty much it, after that i had a reputation fro my artwork and gang bangers liked me for it so they looked after. now, i don't like gangs and i don't condone them, i didn't dress like them nor did i act like them, that's just the way it was.
anyway. bullying is horrible. i had the mental state to not let it bother (except for the first incident
) but it can really make life unbearable for some kids. i had friends that were bullied and they would cry and say things no kid should ever say.
