In high school...I was talked about, made fun of behind my back, whispered about in the halls by the other girls...but I can't say anyone ever picked a fight with me...so basically I ignored it.

Found out they all thought I was crazy...there's some unwritten code about hurting the crazy ones I guess...they're unpredictable in battle. :lol:


Same happens with me .
Actually people become bullies because they lack confidence by themself. Talking or made fun to the others make them relieved of themself.

By the way, there's another way avoiding this situation?? Especially when you are in very edge position (where's no one can attract to you / no advantages can be gained, the bullies are cleverer,rich and have more advantages/influence to others)

[quote="MrMark"]Please post your bully repellent stories here. No violence or terrorist tactics or other activities that bring you down to the bully's level.

"vilonce" does not take you down to the bulies level.. if you have the right intent such as making sure the bully never bullies again.

Fighting bullies is hard, I used to ignore them but it just got worse. They take advantage of you if you ignore them. I found bullies actually back down if you talk back to them.

My problem has always been that although reporting the problem always solves the issue for a little while, whenever any member of staff has a private chat with me they "sense" there is something wrong with me, other than aspergers, so this creates problems anyway. Mainly teachers believe that I am crazy after spending more than five minutes in a room with me, or atleast unstable.

I think you've tied my hands. When I look at the animal world, it's clear that animals use certain tactics to repel bullies (sometimes called predators), when their physical space is invaded. Consider the common porcupine, for example.

Even in social situations, some pain is useful. If coworkers pick on you, it's far more effective to call them on it, in a public way, than to play passive aggressive.

I don't believe in violence and taking advantage of others. If somebody want's to beat you up, you don't generally try to reason with them. What you do is try to convince them that there are easier, less painful targets.

I think its best to try and be more social with people. Even though I'm not good at it people have more respect for me if I try and make an effort with them. Talk to them about your interests even about having aspergers. You're not going to get bullied by someone who knows you and bullies are people too.

I used to burn things before school "still do" but when i was being bothered i would make a really smoky fire, and hover over it for a long time until I could make people gag from being near me.

that is how I got the nickname "campfire" :)
