Shut up and give me your lunch money shrimp!-
oh yeah. watch your back on the way home, bitch!
-
You ain't s**t b***h! You think Im scared of you?
-
well this discussion is going well. Point being that in modern middle schools, appearently one of us* would have his scrotum in the others face.
*me of course -
I would tea bag you hardcore
and pants you in gym class -
fair enough DB. You got anything constructive to add?
-
I didn't read the article. I was a bully though.
We made this one kid cry once a week.
Ok, just read it, we never tried to rape anyone. Just pulling pants down, name calling, and the occasional beat down -
Thanx for the testamonial.
what made you feel the need to do that? -
No idea. It was funny though
-
did it make you feel better about yourself?
-
Not really. It was a form of entertainment.
I didn't do it make myself feel better -
well you and half your school didn't get shot up, so all's well that ends well, right
-
We had a bomb threat, and several 'gun threats'
-
so what's that kid up to nowadays?
-
No idea. He was a ginger though, so im assuming it's still bad
-
If there's really Karma, he'll be giving you a job interview soon
-
And i'd bully him into giving me the job ;p
-
then he'd think you're his work buddy... punishment fits the crime either way
-
Well, karma did work out, just not in his favor
-
that's one nasty looking "ginger"!
-
its why we shouldnt enhance our vegetables
-
seriously Carrot Top is a complete freak, damn
oh and if he had pubes I'd be able to see them ok I need to throw up now
-

I'm in shock and disgusted by what I read on the note. How sick of the kids to do that! I'm glad is coming out in the open and it is not staying as a school matter. They committed a crime and need to be punished for it! It doesn't matter where it happened. -
I think bullying in general is nowhere what it was twenty, fifty or a hundred years ago. School systems around here{in Florida} are very "bully conscious." There are always subtle forms of bullying and they are almost impossible to control. It even happens in forum discussions sometimes. A couple of months ago these four guys threw so much invective at me I got completely covered in it. But I stood my ground and eventually they ran away.-
that's different. You're a grown man.
but as for it having always gone on (and perhaps worse), you're correct. There has always been a dominance-based society. It ebbs and flows somewhat, but it is progressivly being done away with.

Bullying of children is sad and it probably is most often inflicted on them by stern, insecure parents who verbally and physically push their children around. The kids take what they learn from their parents and practice it on others on the playground.
And the cyber-bullying, I didn't mind at all. A little dust up in the verbal ring suits me fine, especially if it helps make the schoolyard safer for evrybody. -
Peoples obsession with control combined with how society has shaped male's to think they should be tough, dominant, boasting testosterone driven actions, etc... lead to unthoughtful violent actions.
I just watched two soccer coaches go at it during a 5-6 old age group soccer game. They were getting in each others faces both trying to boast who was more tough, both trying not to show what they believed to be a weakness if they were to back down. And with parents as the audience, they felt they have to prove to everyone that they were the one that was the toughest. I was disappointed in their behavior and felt bad for the kids having to be influenced by that.-
that is unfortunate. Makes me want to start a machismo-video-thread to make poke fun at such things.
-
maybe it's wrong to laugh as such silliness...

I guess I'm going to heck then -
I can't find any more. Youtube sucks
-
That is effin hilarious
-

Well I speak for all females who secretly want their man to drag them by the hair, throw them over their shoulder and use a bull whip on them.
Not necessarily in that order, either. -
that's a whole nother subject
-
Then I shouldn't mention that all women also secretly want to be told what to do, when to do it and that they'll get a good, swift spanking if they don't??
-
Done, done and done ;p
and also, done, done and done again -
I think that though it is more widespread than most care to admit, it is a broad generalization that isn't quite true. Just like I'm sure that there are men who don't want to do such.
-
tsk tsk

As a non-guy and a non-bully, I've always found that sort of posturing and abuse of those weaker than you to be ridiculous and mock-worthy. Sorry, DB, but if you think it's funny that you made people miserable and afraid (and don't feel a bit bad about it now) then that says worse things about you than it does about the kid to whom you were so casually cruel.-
Why do you think I have horns?
-
80 years from now, he's that old guy in above video
-
-
Karma's a bitch.-
Unless you bully karma
-
You can only make karma your bitch if you repent for your evil past.
-
Nay!
-
-
I know Carrot Top personally, and he is definitely not a bully.(reference photo above)
-
I didnt say carrot top was a bully
-
Then what is he doing here?
-
Blessing this thread with his appearance
-
-
Carrot Top will make you his bitch.

I think its a sad situation, some parents teach their children that school is just survival of the fittest, unfortunately not all kids can cope in those situations.
It can seem all fun and giggles, then something like in the article happens or worse, like a kid hanging themselves because they cant cope with it anymore.-
it is tragic. Also, what happens when these bullies/bullied become adults? They are either desensitized amoralists, or the damaged individuals who they victimized. It doesn't seem that either are fully equipped to deal with adult life
-
It sets things in motion that can potentially be very damaging, of course not everyone will stay a bully, nor will the victim stay a victim, but in some cases it will stay a vicious cycle
Why would any parent want that situation for their child or anyone else's? -
some people want to perpetuate "the way it has always been." There is some sick comfort for them in the world not improving... lest something "moral" or "honorable" might be lost
-
If some kid punched your child in the face, or continually harassed them in some way, what advice would you give them?
-
Punch back
-
Well. They would need to confron the person and inform them that their actions won't be tollerated.
If my kids were meeker creatures I would advise them to seek some higher authority to protect them.
-
-
That is indeed sad. People should reach out to the children around them and let them know they are loved so they don't feel lonely and worthless. I'm pretty sure I've instilled mine with enough self confidence not to be affected by bullies. He would be most likely to stop a bully picking on someone rather than be the object of bullying himself. We've talked about the issue a few times over the years.

When it happens to my girls I'm gonna tell them to do just like I did and wisper in their ear"do u need a hug?"
If that don't work then u can go ALL CRAZY WHITE GIRL on em and that usually puts the situation at rest..... -
Why?
Because humans have done everything to destroy the feminine principle throughout history, the male dominator model was the best way to control the masses and suppress the female factor in a world based on duality.Thats what creates the unbalance. -
I would be surprised if any kid could get away with inflicting anything physical on my son. That just doesn't hapen here. But if someone were verbally abusing him, I'd coach him on what to say.
-
Yup I can so go KARAZYYYYYY white girl...
Tehehehehe -
Like oh my gaaaa
Male or female has nothing to do with soap on a rope....good lord -
Horrible story. And pretty awful to make jokes about it here too.-
Yes, what happened to that guy is definitely not funny.
-
-
Um well I can't see the op...bc is goin all kaarrraaazzzzyyyy on me
What's it say-
