Do we need a bullying thread?

Post Reply New Topic

Exactly. And I think some of us have definitely been bullied more than others, creating a much larger resentment.

And why shouldn't I resent the kind of person that IS a bully anyway? It's an evil thing to do, torturing a person in that way. The very nature of bullying is that it's constant... day after day after day of infractions juuuuust minor enough to get away with.

The trick is - what to do about it to stop it from happening again?

I think we should be able to vent our frustrations. I know it seems mean but it's alot like how people use creative outlets to vent frustrations. In general, in my daily life, I'm nice to everyone unless they repeatedly do mean things. I WANT TO VENT. LET ME!

me too. but the first post stereotyped them together, so i just said "bully" before.

and everyone? VENT! i am a big fan of the VENT, ok?

i am just saying, also remember the part about how you will become indistingishable from an NT if you let the rage stew. so yes, do vent. but no, do not obsess and stew.

(yay! yay! love! hugs for all who want one!)

The sad thing is, bullying can leave scars that last a lifetime. I was bullied so severely in school my parents finally pulled me out in the middle of seventh grade out of fear for my safety. At the beginning of that school year, a girl clubbed me in the head with a book and I ended up hitting my head on the locker door and getting whiplash and a minor concussion. My crime? Our lockers were next door to each other, and she complained about me bumping into her and dropping my books all over the place.

Unfortunetly, I thought this would all end when I became an adult. Only to find out that alot of work place situations aren't much better. In one job I was informed that they looked at me and "wondered what planet I fell off of" (which is how I ended up here....when I saw the name of this site in the link, I had to come!) and another I was locked out of the office while two of the other girls had lunch and left me, who had been working there for a WEEK, totally in charge of the check out desk (at a movie store) on a Friday night!

Anyways, I don't hate NTs and I don't even hate the people who were so cruel to me. But I refuse to give a rat's furry arse anymore about how they want me to be and what they think of me as a result of the bullying.

I feel that bullies should be sent to a seperate school. Off-campus, or perhaps a delinquent school. How long is it going to take, for people to realize, they are a harm to others.
