When I finished school.

Then I got a job, and I was taken serious for my expertise. It's very... different. I still hate people, though.

For me, the bullying at one school ended just because I left that school. At the other school, which was 7th-12th grade, I was not bullied too badly, but some in 7th and 8th grade. The bullying decreased after my tutor called a class meeting to have all my fellow students tell him what they didn't like about me (without me present), he later communicated it to me, and I was supposed to better myself. I don't think I did actually get better (all things were AS-related), but for some reasonar. the bullying decreased anyway, but continued a little till the end of the year. Then, my bullies either had to repeat the year or left school, so I wasn't bullied from 9th grade on.

ive never been bullied and honestly never really witnessed any . i have seen some teasing but never to a bullying point (unless im just too innocent to tell) . but the schools ive been too were good for that i guess. (kids who arrived there after having been to other schools commented how much "everyone was nicer here"). My elementary school was just a good public school i guess and my high school was art oriented school (i wasn't in arts but everyone was more open minded). there was some jocks and all but seemed to be ok

I moved around a lot as a kid and never really noticed any bullying until I came to Utah. It stopped when I started looking people in the eye, I was very angry at that point and I think it scared them. Of course I was completely without friends for a year or so but I didn't really like any of them anyway.

It stopped for when I was switched from the main high school to a continuation high school @ Grade 11th. I remember 4th-10th was horrible for me but the school did stick me into a special ed class for some reason. The type of bullies I had were ones that would get me to a point of anger that would threatened them so they can get the police. =/ Rich kids bullies. Oh yeah, there were some on forums but it was drama related to video games.

upon leaving school mainly but there was some reduction at about the age of 14, probably due to my physical size there became the possibility of the bully getting hurt and having learned to keep my head down out of the firing line.

I seemed to always have 1 guy in my class or in multiple classes each year from grade school all the way until 11th grade (when I couldn't deal with school anymore and left to get my GED) that gave me trouble. I remember sometime in the 10th grade I finally realized that I wasn't exactly a small kid and could probably pack quite a punch. I ended up punching this one guy who was giving me trouble and that calmed him down a little bit.

Now I've been working for quite some time and I have the mentality of not taking crap from anyone. I haven't really had to do anything though. Bullying doesn't happen anymore. It's a nice change. There was one occasion a few years ago where I had 2 co-workers who acted like some of those guys in high school around me (they were losers who probably should have still been in high school), but they didn't last long. It's really interesting how different it is now. People I work with either ignore me or are always nice to me.

HI
Im new :D
When I was growing up, specially in highschool, I was very bullied and it was very hard for me. Later on , I think around 10th grade, I realized I would either confront it, or live with it for the rest of my life. So I confronted it with myself. It stoped. If someone bullies me now, Ill mock them or ignore them (pretend they are not worth my time). The last time someone bullied me was actually in front of my boyfriend, a classmate who used to bully me in school. He said something hurtfull and I responded by laughing and making a joke of it, and it worked. If I am able to laugh at the situation, and at the person for being a bull, the person will stop. Hope this helps

I had some minor relief here and there in high school but severe depression, lonliness, and theater kids who yelled at me when I couldn't do a single backstage job right filled the void.

Me I had two kind of bully during my life.

First one was from 4th grade elementary grade to 2nd secondary grade. Those bullied me not because I was an easy target (in over 50 fight during all those years I never saw the infirmary and they could be 6 on me sometime, but most of the time they escaped for I admit never was a fast runner) but because I had extreme reaction (I admit I was very emotive), basically their fun was to get me berserk (why they tried to escape most of the time for I really turned into an out of control rage) and after the rage I basically crumbled in tear since I hated to lose control. It ended up when I basically closed the emotional part of myself when I was 14 (Only showed off anger 1 time since that time and I was very much in control of what I was doing). But it also what damaged my mental health the most. Only one of them tried to bully pass 3rd secondary grade but he was by himself then and only tried one time for when he tried he got slammed in the coke machine by one of my few rare friend. I admit I don't care anymore about most of those in that group for they were mostly a pack of mindless sheep who were under the command of the only person I actually really hate. (Admit I don't like humanity in general but I wouldn't call it hate). Only made peace with the emotional part of myself like a month ago, thank to a simple attention from someone. But that other story I will not tell in this tread.


Second group are secondary grade bully, which are about your usual bullies, only were taking on me during class. Mostly were taking on me for in class I was easy target in say class. Outside of class, I think, I had just enough social contact for them to think I was not worth it and because during lunch break I was hanging in the library since it had computer. Only reacted to them in the first year of secondary grade, after that just tried to ignore them, freaking pain in the ass but compared to the one I was use to they were small fish


Once pass secondary grade school I never meet other bully.

Physical bullying(5th grade) - I would usually be attacked by a single person or a small group. Slapping, shoving, or punching. I usually never hit back and just cried. They caught me during one of my bad days, and I was able to kick one of my attackers in the stomach pretty hard. A couple days later, I lost my temper again when I slammed one of my male bullies to the ground, and made him cry. I was called a dirty fighter(three against one and I'm the dirty fighter), and people weren't so keen on ganging up on me anymore.

Verbal bullying(6th grade) - I had more evidence that bullies were chickenshits when people who harassed me would stop if I brought up serial killers(not a technique kiddies should use nowadays with all the worries about school shootings). I think one thing that helped during middle school was not letting bullying start in the first place. A simple 'no' or 'f**k Off' has worked consistently for me over the years.

After reading other people in this tread I see I had opposite reaction then most since, for me, my initial bullies wanted me to react, so came to simply stop reacting to them.

i did not feel as if i was "bullied". i still do not feel it.
when i was a child at normal schools, i was thought to be "bullied" by a few teachers, but they were wrong.

other kids did laugh at me, and they gesticulated in a circular manner around their ear when referring to me "non verbally" with their friends.

they never "stepped in my way" however. they just laughed from the sidelines.
i think they were not sure of what response i would give if they pressed me, so no one ever tried.

now i am an adult, people (other adults that is) do not laugh and gesticulate about me.
i know they laugh about my manner behind my back because i have caught them imitating things i have said in a comical way (when i go to the tea room for example).

they always keep dead silent when i am in there if i catch them lampooning me. it is like they are not sure how i would react if i knew they were ridiculing me.

the answer to their question is that i do not care at all if someone laughs about me. i only care if they hinder my progress by presenting themselves as an obstruction.

they can laugh their brains out for all i care. i do not care what happens within their skulls as long as they take their skulls with them when they go.

but if they step in my way to try to force me to see myself in the way they see me, then i become defiant. i can not digest the idea that some one else's 1.4kg of brain matter could try to halt me and realign me to their ideals.

people can swing like monkeys on their vine before me and pronounce me to be an idiot to their simian audience, but to me it is like hearing a shrieking macaque trying to rabble rouse at the zoo.

there are bars between me and them at the zoo.
there are bars between me and them in real life too.

escapees from a barrel of monkeys.... are those that might get in my way,
but i never did have a monkey at large....dare to spoil my day.

monkeys stay in the trees if they are not sure.
they may chatter and screech madly, but they dare not come to the ground if they are not sure of their safety.

sorry my post was a shambolic ramble mostly.
i can not tether myself to full "matter of fact" seriousness at this time.
i am lower functioning tonight

For me, my three years of hell ended as soon as 9th grade ended. From the tenth grade on I went to a non-public school. They dealt with any kind of school bullying very seriously, and the place was full of people with ASD and probably have suffered school harassment for years so I never had to deal with bullies since ever.
