bullying - Page 3

I was bullied alot growng up. My Dad died when I was young and my mom was piss poor. We lived in very tough areas. I went to inner city schools most of my childhood. Moving around alot. But I was always THE only white kid in all my classes. I got beat up alot.

Mostly 3 or four guys just pounding the crap out of me. They would catch me outside and I would usually ball up and take it. Then i got sick of it (after like 3 years) and started fighting back. I just figured I'm gonna loose anyway but at least I won't be the only one hurt. So I fought back- hard. The fights became less and less until I finally got repect. Yeah I still got into fights but it was one on one and I would normally win. I guess I am pretty good at fighting now. But I have grown out of it. In a way it made me alot tougher, when I finally got to a county school in high school everyone feared me.

And that cage story is ridiculous.

Seriously, stop talking about killing yourself, or I'll make sure that someone is notified. I've read about countless cases of kids hinting towards suicide on a forum, then doing it as everyone joked around. Word gets out, the forum gets tons of negative attention, and the members look like shit.

firstly this story is true just ask my parents

secondly i doubt your brother has been through the shit i have been in

thirdly you can fail at suicide i am living proof of this

fourthly the cage story is true just ask the ones i kicked the shit out of

and i am not going to kill myself i am in a positive environment with no need or desire to kill myself so there is no need to worry

When I was in first year I knew these two guys (one went to my Primary school). The one that went to my Primary school (Lets called him "Guy A") was sort of being bullied by this other guy (His cousin is an actor in Shameless and The Last King of Scotland and we will call him "Guy B"). "Guy B" always picked on people until one day (not during school) "Guy A" kicked his ass. I think on the Monday "Guy B" was pushing him so "Guy A" punched him and he went down. Sometime later they went to the park. "Guy B" tried to use his belt buckle as a weapon but "Guy A" took him down, took the belt and used the belt buckle against him. You would have thought "Guy B" would have gave up, right? Wrong.

One time "Guy A" coming home from school was getting off the bus. "Guy B" missed school as usual and he was waiting at the bus stop with a plank of wood with a nail sticking out of it and two 16 year olds (Whereas the two that kept fighting were about 11 or 12 years old). "Guy A" got the absolute crap kicked out of him and I think he was hospitalized. He ended up moving to a private school I think while the tiny bully whos cousin is an actor was later expelled in 2nd or 3rd year. What my point is I don't know about the States or other countries but in Glasgow, if they get beat down they will always come back stronger. Wether it be 2, 4, 6 guys, they will always come back and possibly with weapons.

EDIT: Also I forgot to mention the first guy was pretty tall and the second quite small.

I've had the few pushes etc but nothing extreme, mostly because nearly everyone knew my oldest brother who was a big guy and no one wanted to get on the bad side of him, guess I was lucky.

I still have no idea how you can fail at something so simple. You need to be committed to something if you want to succeed. Probably if you can manage to fail at killing on of the most vulnerable things on the face of the planet then that explains why you want to. You've obviously failed at much much more important things.

i always wanted to die in my school in a bloody mess so people can see what they have done and mainly put psychological trauma of some kind on them when i am dead because in that school i thought regardless of what happened i could not get in any worse of a situation then i was in at the time so i thought hell with it what is the worst they could do, kill me? i just kept this thought in my head and life went along as miserable as usual with no positive days for the 4 years i was in that area and even if i confined myself to my room i can hear them and see them and occasionally they would throw things into my window which would suck as their parents were ignorant bastards who did not care what was going on and franctly i was bullying them which was complete bollocks because i tried to stay as far as possible from them

If you're committed to something, you can make it happen. And if I ever take myself out, you can bet it's gonna be fucking flashy!

I really don't want to make fun of you on here, so I won't point out every blatant thing wrong with your statements thus far. But I have to address this:

So...you have a cage ready for cage matches at all times? Because that's tight as shit. Even moreso, you kicked the shit out of 10+ people? Who were apparently mean and tough enough to lead you to suicide 5 DIFFERENT TIMES, then, AFTER YOU ATTEMPTED SUICIDE give you grief about it? At age 15? I'm a relatively strong, moderately tough 19 year old, and I don't think I could take down more than 6 or 7 15 year olds IN A CAGE MATCH. Cmon man. Be real with us.

This thread is...too much.

erm i forgot to say it is not a 'cage' in a literal sense everyone just calls it that it is just the football court with a fence around it and they were only tough when they were together so i just needed to seperate them and the violence didnt lead me to suicide it was just the constant name calling and insults which led me to suicide also i was quite evasive because i rarely ate because i had no self worth or self esteem and i can turn very wild when i am pissed off which gives me a lot more speed and power than normal

It's easy to give advice but actually being able to follow it is an entirely different matter. It's mental/emotional. Not everyone is able to just brush things off. It'd be nice if we were all able to just suck it up but...alas...

Suicide is a cowardly and selfish way out. If you did manage to off yourself imagine what that would do to your friends and family. No matter how bad you think things are for you there will always be someone out there who is worse off than you remember that the next you contemplate suicide as a solution to your problems.
