When I was in elementary someone would keep taking money from me everyday also there was a time in elementary when someone laughed at me and it made me cry

Most of the bullying has been about the way I look, the way I speak and where I'm from.
I don't mind slight teasing, especially if I'm doing it back with a friend and we're just joking around but a lot of the time when I was younger I never really understood it, and I used to get really upset.

I have experienced bullying at work because of my situation. At school, I mostly fought back, so after a year or so, I barely had any issues.

The aggression of bullying is due to a self-perpetuating collection of mind viruses.

In order to escape the pressure, the victims often have to either become physically capable and willing to start hurting people themselves. Thus the viruses are replicated and the cycle continues.

That's why these aggressive algorithms are still around today infecting minds. It's not an accident or just another unfortunate situation created by chance, or some "bad apples".

It is systemic.

Bullying and abuse has been a big part of my life.when I was in school I was severely bullied by my peers because I was very quiet and they thought I was weird so I was constantly called names like spastic,ret*d and weirdo,they use to make fun at how I used my hands to talk and also how I couldn't look people in the eye,I have always loved drawing and I use to draw all the time at school and the kids noticed that i was deeply passionate and involved in it that they use to make fun of my drawings and said they were childish, but one of the worst things to happen to me at school was when one time in class when my teacher left to do something that the entire class started to pick on me,they took my backpack and hid it from me and everyone was yelling at me and calling me names I remember turning my back at them and started crying and then a girl came up to me at the front and yelled out "are you crying (Adora?) and the whole class started laughing at me,I couldn't handle the laughing so I ended up running out of the class room and out of the building and could hear them cheering that I ran out,i eventually end up leaving high school at a very young age because of this but sadly the abuse wasn't just at school and i wish I could write all of what happened to me in this reply but it would take too long and sadly I experienced a lot worse than just schoolyard bullying.

I was bullied and outed from day one - even by the adults. At first it seemed to be caused by their contempt because of my weight issue, but later the problem turned out to be, that I was "weird"! Who wouldn´t be?
The bullying took place on a scale from the primitive beating and naming over mass "rapes", where their hands were all over me, pinching my skin, my clothes pulled down, my body commented etc. to different forms of gaslighting.
I was very naive, so the "sport" was to get me to make a faux pas and then tell it to everyone.

It took me about ten years, before I could even pass a school yard without feeling revengeful, and many years after I felt and acted like a door mat. My early adult life was simply ruined.
I don´t think much about it today, but I stiffen up and recognize that sense of fear and humiliation from time to time, when I hear someone express demands and lecture others. I know where that comes from.
Bullying takes down the victims self esteem, so they may never grow to believe in themselves for real.

It was nice getting it out, even though I shiver and feel cold as I write this.

Yes...I identify with you totally.

I had a weight issue as a child--as well as a "glasses-braces" issue.

I was threatened with getting my butt kicked "after school" on a regular basis.

I was once held down and forced to see about 6-7 other boys' "Johnsons."

At age 18, I did a stupid thing: I went to a gay person's house, out of loneliness (I didn't know he was gay). He proceeded to "dry hump" me while holding me down. I sorta feel like I'm lucky to be alive.

Yakk!
Being gullable is dangerous. I have done some stupid things too, but I was lucky.

I was bullied like crazy as a kid, and to this day, I'm not entirely sure why. I kept to myself around most people in school, but my family never believed it because I was a chatterbox around them. There were so many days, especially in my teens, where I'd literally be running home from the school's back entrance, with multiple bullies chasing me down. If I left on the school bus, they'd heckle me there, then pound me once the bus left.

I got so scared once, I even begged the bus driver to walk me home from the stop; he reluctantly agreed, at which point three guys my age circled us. They kept throwing punches...and the driver did nothing to help me. By the time we got to my apartment, it was like he'd never even been there.

The worst thing of it all though, was the answer I got from every adult I told at school: "If I didn't see it, it didn't happen." They said it almost verbatim every time too, like they'd been trained or something. People often asked why I never fought back, and my answer was simple: I didn't know how. Deep down, I rarely believed I was worth it...but I rarely told that to anyone.

Yes I was bullied when I was in public school, I was bullied in school and by girls in my girl scout troop. I think it only got physical twice, On the bus when a boy in my class name David pulled my shirt and I pulled his shirt because he started making fun me and wouldn't stop so I pushed him. (That was in first grade.) The teacher was notified of it, and she told our parents, they made us apologies but I didn't mean my apology, when I said sorry I was thinking (I don't really mean it you jerk.) The other time was during first and second grade I was getting bullied by a boy name Quitin, he would make fun of my name by calling me Tiff-aby, and he would make fun of me in other ways. During recess in second grade, he threw small pebble rocks at me. One of the teachers saw him and made him stop. Later that day we called to the vice principals office, she called his mom to tell him what he's been doing, and he got detention that day. It was one of my favorite public school moments, because he was crying like a freaking baby. I was smiling and laughing on the inside, After that he stopped bullying me. But besides that I was picked on by the other students in school, they thought I was weird because of the way I acted, the way my teeth looked (my teeth got messed up because I sucked my thumb up until I was fourteen years old.), and the way I spoke. They would call me names and make fun of me. No one was my friend, I hated all those motherfudgers a lot. The girls in my girl scout troop would not want anything to do with me, they made fun of the way I looked and leave me out of stuff. One of the girls even had the nerve to tell me their mom made them invite me to their parties. (That b....) Though recently I looked them up on Facebook to see how they look now (because I made sure to lose contact with them when I got homeschooled), and I know no one is ugly and stuff, but the girls look like dogs now. I was even bullied by tree kids in my resource class in fifth grade, they made fun of my voice and the way I act. Thankfully I left public school after that. Public school was a very unhappy thing for me in the long run, I would most likely would still be getting bullied in school if I was still there.

But since we're on the bullying topic, one of the lunch ladies actually accused of bullying a boy in my fourth grade class when I was at lunch. (Back story I never interacted or even talked to the boy in my class, and the lunch lady was his mom. Plus she randomly came up to me.) I'm not sure what gave her the idea of me bullying her son, but she was very serious about it and wanted to take me to the principal's office. Though in the long run she gave me a warning. I thought I would tell that interesting story too since we're talking about bullying and stuff.

Yes, i've have been bullied. One guy was ver persistent at it, he stopped after i placed my fist in his face.

Then the bullies started forming groups. I befriended on recently one facebook, he turned into a religious person and had changed his life around totally since highschool.

Some kids are just protosociopaths.

I believe I was bullied in college.

I came really close "friends" with this one girl but other friends of mine would warn me about her. In one case, I was having a little "chat" with her on IM, I walked out to do my laundry and some girls come up to and say "they're making fun of you downstairs." It's covert harassment like this that is extremely painful for people who have trouble fitting in. You think you've got a friend and they stab you in the back....

Unfortunately, I picked up a lot of negative from her. She would alternate between playing the victim and the persecutor and sometimes I find myself repeating that exact behavior. It's sh***y what people do to you sometimes.

It's all rather confusing because I also tend to get paranoid... but at the same time sometimes people really ARE making fun of you and looking down on you.

I was given the run of the mill bullying in middle school. Name calling, demeaning insults, etc. Wasn't anything too out of the ordinary. What made it significant was how I reacted to it psychologically. Got me to the point where I'd pack a swiss army knife in my back just to give myself a sense of power.

Nowadays, bullying on the campus is non existent. Cyber bullying (or in most cases, cyber stalking) is much more abundant. Ever since I made myself known as an artist on the web, I've been receiving death threats and discriminative insults on a daily basis from approximated 127 different individuals. This has yet to cease despite attempts to report, ignore, etc.

I suppose primitive minds are meant to stay primitive.
