Why do you think it's good? Why would you ask that?

Bullying isn't good. It's traumatic and causes psychological damage.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seriously, being mean to people is never a good thing. A little bit of playful teasing can be ok if the person is ok with it, but any farther than that and it's crossing the line.

It really leaves one with a weird feeling when you realize you were bullied by someone you thought was your friend---as in failing to recognize that is was bullying at the time. That happened to me. This particular person (when I was in high school) set me on the water fountain, dented my trombone, drove me in his car at 80mph on dangerous two-lane roads, stole my French fries at fast food restaurants after our bowling league, etc. etc. etc. Why? I want to know WHY??? And I treated him with dignity and respect---and I failed to see what was going on then. I could have been killed by his antics to intimidate and bully me. Bullying is never good.

Very well put. My bully could have gone to jail had he wrecked the car during his antics to terrify me. And then once for the heck of it, he tried to get me mixed up in a scuffle between him and some other guys he got into a fight with. Fortunately, it worked out that I did not get involved in that. I walked away in the darkness of that parking lot after our bowling league and hid in the shadows.

Bullying is not good or fun. Bullying is traumatic and I have horrible memories of being bullied. What would make you ask a question like that?

Im not sure if the thread starter should be taken seriously, so a quick answer is that bullying refers to a basically unintelligible subjection to degradation, the purpose being that the bully wins the pleasure of dominance over his victim. Perhaps it would be more productive to teach the victim to overcome the bullying in knowing that the bully is driven by idiocy. This might be a quicker route that expecting a stupid person to see the error of their ways.

Does having your pants pulled down by those claiming to be in search of evidence of your "boy parts" sound like a ball of laughs to you? No, it doesn't and isn't. :roll:

Would you like to be continually insulted for your rather odd running stance, being likened to the Hunchback of Notre Dame? No, you wouldn't. :roll:

I really don't understand why NTs bully aspies; they're great people and, contrary to popular opinion, are rather friendly and welcoming. I don't know if you're trying to troll or incense people here on WP, but this line of questioning is not going to go down well with people here.

"Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat."

Bullying is, of course, horrible for the bullied.

For the bullies, it's just part and parcel with the power and privilege they have.

I know you want to think that, as the victim, you're something important to them; like your relationship with the bully is somehow special and meaningful.

You aren't. You're just an object to be used for their gratification.

Have a nice life - until the next time one of them wants to use you, anyway.
