High school engineering teacher here. Had a girl several years ago who was bullied. I got together a group of my female engineering students and they all took her under their wing. They became her friend group and support. They made sure she never ate alone. She was no longer an easy target for the bullies and, while it didn't end the bullying completely, it did make it bearable. We teachers can have an impact if we do things right.
You are one of the few people who choose to go out of the way and do right in this world. And nothing can be thanked more than using your position as a teacher to make an unbearable situation bearable for a student. Thankyou on behalf of bully victims like myself, I wish my 12-17 year old self knew a teacher like you.
Why didn't you just punish the bullies?
Y'all don't get paid enough
@@nonyabusiness3619 they'll just bully the student more than before for "revenge"
@@sgcutieee They only do that if the victim snitches and/or the teacher pulls them both aside to "talk it out". But in this case, the teacher is already aware on his own, therefore, he can do something about it. And at this point, the victim already has a wall of protection with the new friend group which has kept the bully at bay, so I doubt the bully would have the ability to bully "more than before."
Besides, the teacher can just lie to the bully and say that he witnessed it with his own eyes, taking responsibility off the victim and on to him. Or he could say that one of the girls in the friend group (anonymously) reported it on the victim's behalf. (What's the bully going to do to verify it?) And as a result, he's going to implement some sort of punishment, or at the very least _threaten_ to implement a punishment.
I had a girl who, EVERY SINGLE DAY, for 3 years email me pages and pages about how everyone in the school hated me with named examples. Everyday I would block her and move on because honestly I couldn't have cared less. The next day shed create a new email address and the cycle started again. UNTIL she messed up and sent me one of these emails (albeit a short version involving a picture of a pig labelled as me) from her school email to my school email, which was an utter gold mine because now the school had clear evidence of blatant bullying that could not be faked.. I thought nothing of it until the following morning when she kicked a locker room door open fully knowing I was standing right behind it. I went SCREW IT, walked straight out of the locker room, in my head of years office, and I put those drama classes to use and cried on cue. I made up a huge story about how someone had been bullying me but didnt want to name them because I feared it would get worse. In the end she was banned from using any school technology unsupervised, was removed from any classes we shared, and wasn't allowed anywhere near me. You bet your ass I spent the remainder of that year just 'coincidentally' turning up wherever she was so she'd have to leave.
EDIT: For anyone thinking I was too harsh - 'the remainder of the year' was like 6 weeks.
EDIT 2: I feel like I should tell this full story with better detail somewhere haha
@hannahxx17 as Charlotte would say, "That's what's up!"
I cannot tell you how sweetly I AM feeling the vicarious thrill of your "petty revenge." Also, great for you using all those drama class experiences to your advantage.
Ha, gottem'
@@RobertAlvarezThePsychicWitch To be fair she did get a slight win out of it. She was suspended for 2 days but never had to do it because there was an exam on one of those days which just angered me and fuelled me to mess with her. Oh you want to buy your lunch? What a coincidence so do I. Oh you waited for me to be done in the locker room before you could go get your books? How silly of me I forgot something and now you're late for class. Oh you wanted to join a certain club? Funnily enough so do I but yeah I mean the time commitment is too much and I might have to drop out just after the sign up cut off.
I was lucky, it was easy to ignore her because it was obvious she was a social outcast so her telling me how much everyone hated me made no sense because the people she was naming never even spoke to her. It didnt make it any less frustrating, but I know had the circumstances been different it could have had a really detrimental effect on a person. The ultimate revenge came when she left the school about 3 weeks into year 11 and no one noticed until the second semester when we changed classes and new attendances were called only for people to say 'Hey I haven't seen her in a long time where is she?'.
Looking back as an adult I know she only went after me because me and one other girl were nice to her. Then one week I was away sick and she realised how easy it would be for her to be alone again. Her attack on me was nothing to do with me and everything to do with isolating the other girl so she always had one friend that couldn't leave her.
@@hannahxx17 I have always been amazed at why bullies and other fuckfaces simply cannot do one thing to improve their lives, but find it so much easier to do and say things to hurt others.
@@RobertAlvarezThePsychicWitch Because they dont even need to improve their lives to be honest. They just dont know how to be a decent human. Honestly I think a lot of it comes down to peoples inability to be uncomfortable and be alone. I had a teacher once challenge us to 'be okay being alone' and it seriously changed my life. Learning to be able to be alone made me not feel out of place or uncomfortable for a lot of things. I now challenge any young person to do the same. One lunch time a week do something just for yourself and not because your friends are doing it. Go to the library and read a book or catch up on homework. Join a club you want to join. Go to the gym and work out. Do an art project. Lie out in the sun and take a nap. Whatever it is do it alone. If your friends all go to the library as well dont sit with them. Just be alone. Once you can be alone you dont get uncomfortable when you dont have your safety net around you and you're less like to be an asshole. Assholes act like assholes so that the attention is on them because they WANT it on them and not because people PUT it on them. eg. If I scream and yell people are looking at me because im screaming and yelling by choice instead of people looking at me for my weird choice in outfit.
I had a bully in middle school. My little brother joined my school eventually and one day came running to me with a very proud smile telling me he had tripped her and she fell flat on her face 😂 He was a very shy and quiet kid too, so that was a huge deal! I love him so much ❤
One winter a Native American girl was enrolled in my middle school. Her parents were migrant farm workers. Kids immediately started bullying her for being a bit overweight, darker skinned & because her family lived in a shack. Dorothy seemed to be used to the abuse but it was heart-breaking to me. I had been reared to be kind to others, so I asked my mom if I could help her & she said yes. So I took Dorothy under my wing. She was always hungry so I paid for her lunches. She had one ragged dress & no coat in the middle of winter, so my mom and I went & bought her warm clothing, shoes & a nice warm coat. I did get in trouble though for giving Dorothy my own newly purchased undies! I don't know why but then I went to the worst 3 bullies and told them to let me know if they needed anything, too. Well, the bullying stopped completely. Not long after that Dorothy's family moved on to Michigan for cherry-picking season & I never saw her again. Over the years I've often wondered how her life turned out. And I'm grateful that she experience a bit of kindness in her young life.
🥲
A POB (Pat On the Back) to you and your mom for helping Dorothy.
😢🥹🥹🥹❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful person you are, beautiful soul 🫂 ❤
Yeah my daughter went through that and she has strawberry blonde hair with very light skin. But her mother is a enrolled tribal member and our daughter is very proud. So when her class started to learn about sacagawea she decided to correct her teacher. Because she's a descendent of sacagawea. That's when the bullying started and lasted for about 3 years until we had to pull her out of school. First teacher basically joined in with the kids because she didn't believe our daughter. She is doing so much better now.
never say to a girl..."he's bullying you because he likes you." this sets up the girl accepting abuse as "love."
And my very young and impressionable autistic ass took that as "beat up people to let them know you're romantically interested in them"
Fortunately I'm also aromantic, so luckily I never actually got to that point before I realised that wasn't right.
Literally came to comment just this. That perpetuates so much disgusting abuse and makes it so much harder for the abused to leave. After all, it must be because they like me. Please Charlotte - stop saying this.
yes it fucked ewith me heavily.
It tells girls to stay in abusive relationships and it tells boys that yeah, it's okay to hit girls 🤮
Even as a kid I knew this logic was bullshit
My sister was bullied in 3rd grade by a boy. No amount of complaints to teachers helped. My mom was strict and told her straight, "never let anyone take advantage of you like that".
Next time when the guy tried to bully her, she kicked him in the peanuts and only then the teachers took notice and called my mom.
I swear teachers don't do anything until the victim stands up for himself/herself.
You're right, it's like most teachers are reinforcing that shit.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 sad but so true
After constant bullying, when one boy took my daughter's city library book she punched him the chest..3 day suspension..and we and every neighbour And bus driver gave her props!!
Is this a North American issue where bullying is ignored? In English schools they have to have a policy to combat bullying. It is far from perfect, but there is ostensibly a no tolerance policy.
@@kateq7212 no it happens in many countries, not specific to North America
My anti bullying policy works a treat...Got it from my mum...When I was about 10 In the meeting with the principal in front of the bully, their parents and the teachers, she told me "If she bullies you again you beat her up I will give you 5 pounds...getting in trouble is worth it for that much money, in fact If any one bullies you the same goes" from that moment on the bully knew I was on a mission...They hid from me for the rest of primary school. I was never bullied by any one again in primary school.
Haha if I fought a bully I got Chuch-E-Cheese 😂 one day I did and the front office called my mom like "this little shit is constant problem, we hate to do this but...."
Brilliant 😊
Smart mom! 😂
Yesss they super soft now for that treatment
Wow!
One thing I liked about my high school was that the bullies were never popular. The popular kids were the sweetest kids you ever met. Super nice, befriending the bullied and disabled kids and protecting them from bullies, did charity work, and even now over 10 years later most are still involved in charity organizations. I wish more kids were like that.
Of course one thing I didn’t like was that most of the bullies were teachers and staff. Can’t really do anything to fight back against that. But student bullies were pretty much left outcasts.
I've never understood why teachers and administrators will have anti-bullying campaigns and moral high-grounds to stand on but will never, ever address actual bullying. It's spineless.
Not always, but sometimes if a student is being bullied, they will ask him or her to remain in their sight (or encourage the student to stay within their sight) so they can both witness and/or stem the amount of bullying they are receiving. Knowing that the problem is acknowledged by the teachers, and they will be there for you at times does much for the bullied student's self-esteem and personal, physical safety.
Ikr!! And when your parents tell the teacher about it they'll say: 'well, she's an easy target' or something along those lines. I've had a teacher who literally sided with the bullies. like wth! I already was an insecure kid and this made it so much worse. I switched schools not long after that.
MY EXACT QUESTION!! Im desperately wanting to understand this...
@@MsMeyara My son's teacher literally said "well we don't always want to blame the other child" when we reported to them. Yeah and this kid lives 3 houses down from us and I've had him in my house and watched how he treats my son AND his mother. I cut them off a year ago but they're in the same class this year so my son became his target because he knows my son outside of school.
@@jacklow9611 BS
My old store manager banned one of mine
What business is that? It sounds wonderful
@@biohazard7164 how do you know?
I'm so happy that you finally had someone stand up for you!!!❤
This is screaming fake. Even IF they did push you down the stairs 1. It would be an insane legal liability to not do something as teachers or admin. 2. Even if they didn’t you didn’t tell your family or guardians? That’s physical assault and you could have sued or even pressed charges. But no mention of anyone doing anything? Sounds off to me.
Thank you for sharing your story. By the way, calling a commenter a liar just because you are ignorant is also bullying. My work life started in 1970 for instance, when things were very very different. If I were to describe incidents at work, your commenters would call me a liar as well. My school life in the 60s bears no resemblance to today's. I had one teacher who rapped knuckles with a ruler, my sister had one who spanked. It never occurred to parents to complain about teachers. Kids on sports teams were beloved by staff and did whatever they wanted without fear of consequences. No one had ever heard of a lawsuit against a school (except perhaps scopes) at that time. There is a good number of commenters who believe if an experience has not happened to them personally or to someone they know, then it must be a lie, and they never hesitate from slandering OPs as liars with great confidence. Don't let it bother you. They are myopic fools.
There was a group of mean girls at my HS. They made a point of giving me crap because I was smarter than they were (top 5 in my class) and ran a little bit heavy because I was in the library most of the time or studying. And they were cheerleaders, active and popular. Dated the jocks. You get the picture. All that's changed when we went to college. Instead of gaining weight, I lost 45lbs, and was dating an extremely good looking intern at our local hospital. They, on the other hand, gained a good 40lbs and were still dating their HS boyfriends and didn't get into college. I came home from school for Christmas break with my boyfriend who took me out for NYE. The place we decided to have a drink and dinner close to my parents' house before we went to a big party was also their hangout. I walked in & my size 5 pink silk party dress was catching attention and so was my boyfriend. And who was in the booth across from our table? The mean girls. I saw them and couldn't resist. I said, "Oh my God! Hi! I almost didn't recognize you guys! You've sure changed!" And about that time their boyfriends came back from the bar with their drinks and couldn't keep their eyes to themselves. The petty revenge was complete when my boyfriend said, "I think we can do better than this place. Let's get out of here. All these guys staring at you is getting on my nerves," as he's looking right at their boyfriends. I gave them a really nice smile and said good to see you again and we left. I had a GREAT NYE!!
Success, confidence, and just being happy is sometimes the best revenge !
Bet those guys didn't have a pleasant evening with their gurlfriends after that encounter. 😂
So happy for you!
This was such a satisfying read! Glad you could get some petty revenge.
In kindergarten through first grade I was physically bullied by a boy in my class(he would punch me, throw water on me, chase me, push me over, etc…. One time he even pushed me over and jumped up and down on my back). I told the teachers about it at recess but they never believed me telling me that I “was fine” and that he “probably just had a crush on me”. I told my mom about this and she called up the school and asked them about it. They said I was probably exaggerating or the teachers just couldn’t see it and couldn’t punish anyone without proof. My mom answer “If you need help watching over recess I could come to the school myself everyday, I only live five minutes away.” After that, the teachers on duty almost always believed me.
Surprised they didn't take her up on that. My school had several parent volunteers who did supervising for lunch and recess. With a few hundred kids out on the playground, the school staff was happy to have some extra trusted adults keeping an eye on the mayhem.
My mum didn't ask, she straight up started turning up for recess and tag teamed bully watch with her friend suzie cuss the teachers refused to keep us safe from a monstrous brat who cut people's hair off.
Parents on school ground would be unheard of at my school. I got smacked so hard with a water bottle on my back and slammed into the white board and the teacher didn’t bat an eye.
Stories like yours are why I always believe my kids when they say someone is hurting them. This stuff really sticks with people on the receiving end . The bullies don’t blink twice they go around life not thinking they’re the problem but they traumatize the people around them.
❤️
The last time I got bullied, this girl who I honestly think was likely being abused at home, went after me. She started calling me names on the bus and I turned around and started complimenting her. I kept it up, only saying nice things I actually meant, and it took her a good ten minutes to run out of steam. She never said anything to me again.
I didn’t appreciate it at the time but looking back I am seriously impressed with my fourteen-year-old self 😂
Impressive move indeed
You should be impressed!! That was awesome!! You’re my new hero!! 👏👏👏
I sure as shit didn't have that type of fortitude back then. I was always bigger and smarter than the bullies, so never had to deal with that. But I was also a super introvert, so didn't stick up for bullied kids either. :(
Honestly as a teacher we need to be careful of this. The bully often needs help too. I mean, honestly, very few kids bully just because, there is often more behind it (such as an abusive situation or a history of being bullied)
Power move
In my youth (early 70's), I was occasionally bullied since I was the shy, quiet bookworm that was really bad at sports. You know, getting tripped, books knocked out of your hands (backpacks weren't a thing then), being called names, etc. My dad always told us to walk away from arguments before they get physical, if you can. So, I mostly ignored them. Until, one day, they escalated to punching me in the back. I fell and it knocked my glasses off, which they proceeded to step on.
I went home crying and half blind. When my dad got home, he asked me why I didn't fight back. I told him that he always said to walk away. He got a look on his face that I won't forget. A look of anger and regret. He then told me, "That is for an argument, before it becomes physical. Once it goes past that line, you fight back, and you fight dirty." We had a nice little conversation about what "fight dirty" meant.
A month or so later, a few weeks before the end of the year, my two main antagonists decided to gang up on me on a Friday after school. I tried to leave, but they cornered me, knocked me down, and one would hold me down while the other hit me.
At first, I tried to just cover up and hope they would be satisfied. They weren't. When they tried to change positions so the other could take over the hitting, I struck back. That seemed to surprise them. They were just throwing fists to my body. I used fists, and clawed at their faces, and kicked them in places that hurt...a lot. We fought some more, but soon they gave up.
What I didn't know was that there were some of the popular kids from school that saw the fight and knew everyone involved.
The next school day, everyone was talking about the fight. I had a bruise on my cheek and a slightly blackened eye. My bullies looked much worse. I gained a bit of a reputation after that as someone not to mess with.
So, as an adult, my motto is "Don't start a fight, but always finish it."
My mom always told me - never start a fight, but if you ever get hit and I find out that you didn't defend yourself...when you come home I'm whooping your ass too! LOL. She was serious! Glad you stood up for yourself
my dad always told me to try to avoid a physical fight, but if it happens, throw exactly one punch, whether you end the fight with it or not. because you can claim self defense with that one punch, especially if they go to hit you back. i've only ever got into one "fight" which i mentioned in my own comment. i refuse to fight anyone if possible.
When my son was being bullied in school, by boys two years ahead of him and outweighed him by a lot, I was told by the school principal and guidance counselor he brought it on himself. Yes. Victim blaming in elementary school. I still get hot under the collar, and my son is a grown man with children of his own.
I had a girl who made fun of my walking. I joined yearbook club and made sure EVERY picture of her was the most terrible, humiliating picture available. For example: in every group shot (clubs and activities) I made sure her knee highs or underwear were showing, her eyes were closed or she was talking. Sorry, not sorry.
Diabolical! Lol
The underwear thing is a lil too far. Gives me creep vibes. The rest could’ve been done 10 times over tho lol
@@ZeliBnnuy when you're a teenager you don't really think about it that way tho
@@murielredondo1261 that's why these photos should get approval by a teacher

Petty revenge on a bully isn't petty, it's what they deserve! Thanks Charlotte
You're right, it's divine justice.
So in other words... karma

Hell, yes!
Facts
I still remember this one chick who bullied most of the girls in this one class period that I was in. The girls did complain to our teacher and were told to be "the bigger person." When she tried bullying me, I used her own tactics on her. She complained to the teacher about what I had been doing to her, all this happened right in front of the teacher. The teacher got onto me about what I had done and told me to apologize to the girl. My answer was pointing at the girl's victims and reminding the teacher that they were told they needed to be the bigger person.
"You've told the other girls, whom you saw being bullied, to be the bigger person, now it's her turn to be told the same thing. Chop, chop, we don't have all day."
The teacher had the gall to look surprised at what I had said. It wasn't until the other girls were chanting that their bully be told she needed to be the bigger person shtick that the whole thing got dropped.
Miraculous Ladybug, is that you?
Chef's kiss 💋
Brilliant!
Was it the, "You need to be the bigger person" that got dropped, or just that one incident where the bully didn't get punished?
@@jacklow9611 it was my needing to apologize to the bully that got dropped
My entire elementary and middle school life was spent dealing with a nuance of a bully. This girl had made my life hell for no reason. Her bullying ranged from consistent name calling both in front and behind my back, physically hurting me, trying to turn my friends against me by spreading lies and rumors, conveniently would always have a massive crush on the girl or guy I’d like, magically started saying she shared the same birthday as me to steal any birthday “spotlight” as she called it from me, and even going as far as to making me take the fall for something she did so the teachers would believe me to be a trouble maker. Now don’t get me wrong I wasn’t the star student or perfect kid when I was younger, but none of that excused her for her treatment towards me and my friends. But finally after years of being fed up with her shit I snapped. Now let me preference that violence should never be the main route you take. But when I tell you I got my revenge physically on her and two boys she ganged up with to beat me up, I mean it. What they thought would end with me injured and scared actually left her with a sprained ankle, one of the boys with a swollen cheek, and the other boy with a bloody lip and ear. I almost got expelled from school but I never regretted what I did. And as bad as that is to say it ended up working. She and her goons left me and my friends alone from then on.
Oh my god I hope you are doing good nowadays ❤❤😢😢
I saw a video where the bullied kids Mom tried talking to the bully and her mom nicely. However this didn’t work so the mom of the little girl that was getting bullied beat the shit out of the bully’s mom. In front of the bully. She told the bully every time she bully’s her daughter she would come over and beat her moms ass. She never bullied that girl again. Lol
I ain't mad at this. So often, kids act out because their parents/home life is not good. I don't hate the idea of punishing the adult that's responsible for their child's behavior
That’s really sad but I guess it did get the point across
My nan did this when my mum was being bullied as a kid. My nan was only 5ft 😂
When I was in grade 7, I was bullied by two girls who were best friends. They would call me names, shove me into lockers, hit me and of course no one really came to my defense. I was too scared to fight back against two girls and found out years later that this was probably due to my autism which was undiagnosed at that time. This was the mid 70s. Fast forward 20 years later, and I had changed a lot. I have tattoos and regularly wore a bandana to cover my long curly hair. I went to the bank one day to withdraw some money, (not my regular branch), and who was the teller serving me? That's right, one of my tormentors. I called her by name and she didn't recognize me. I reminded her who I was by telling her one of the many derogatory names she and her friend used to call me. She immediately got a shocked look on her face as she saw my tattoos and the way I was dressed....bandana, overalls and construction boots. As it was close to quitting time I said I'd wait for her outside so we could talk over old times. I've never seen someone run to their car so fast!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it 😂😂😂
@@seunosunkoya414 It's a memory that warms my heart and makes me smile 😁

This warms my heart as well
@@roxyndra I still remember that day fondly. 😏❤️😂
The most popular girl in our class was the head of all sorts of different committees, head of the dance squad, and was queen of every dance she was allowed to be queen in.
The kicker is she was also just about the nicest person in that school (not just our grade). I swear that girl made it a point to memorize every unpopular person in our grade, because she made sure to greet everyone by name in class and walking down the hall. Twenty years later, she’s a nurse and a mom, and I swear has barely aged since.
The most popular guy was also pretty nice too. Not quite the level she was, but never bullied anyone as far as I knew, and no one ever seemed to have a bad word to say about him. I know my high school experience was rare. I was by no means popular (I was in the goth crowd when my favorite color was pink, but they never seemed to mind my peppiness, and was the only group to really embrace me), but I only had one bully in high school, who’s still a bully now. My husband punched him at a bar once because he pissed him off, so that was pretty enjoyable. I happened to marry the one person my former bully was terrified of.
I really really like this one!
If you hadn’t said that you were married, I would’ve assumed that we were the same person 😂😂😂 I was the pink, fluffy, cutesy, sort of preppy friend to the anime kids, who everyone in our high school thought were goth.
One of the most popular guys in our school was such a nice guy. Growing up, I thought he would just be another popular asshole. But when we sat next to each other in math class, he actually tried to talk to me. And that stuck with me because he treated me with kindness, even though I was by no means popular. Kind of the opposite. In fact, people were kind of… Scared of my friends. But he was always a nice guy. And he was really good with movies. I was really excited to see what he was gonna come up with, but he died in a car crash a few years after high school. Even though I didn’t know him, I was sad to hear that he had passed.
Here’s my weird twisted bullying story. I was very much a quiet kid that didn’t talk in hs unless I was with people I was truly comfortable. The worst bullying I had was with this girl who got all pressed that I was playing iPhone games with her new boyfriend even though that’s all we did or talked about and we had been doing this before they were together. We were absolutely not interested in eachother. She’d text me and have her friends follow me around. Fast forward a few years and she starts dating this cute guy I was friends with and refusing to let him even look in my direction even though we’d known eachother for years because we ran around as kids together. Fast forward another year and he’s my long term boyfriend and every single time I see her around town she despises me for being in a long healthy happy relationship with him because she thought she could get away with lying and spreading rumors about him when they broke up when everyone now knows she was the abusive one who hit him and he’s happy now
Wait
What?
😂
I got bullied relentlessly all through school (grades 5-12) by the head cheerleader. She made my life absolute Hell. About a year after we graduated, I was engaged tk my HS sweetheart, and went in to the bridal shop to make a payment on my wedding dress. She was working there at the time. After being pleasant and cordial the entire time, I politely asked her whether or not she had anyone special (since she ALWAYS had a boyfriend in school). She said no, she hadn't found "the one" yet. I looked right at her and told her, "Well, it's probably because they see what a b*tch you really are." And I walked out.
It’s good you kept the conversation polite.
I still remember what I did with a bully girl in high school. Her name was Krysta, and she really had it out for me and my friends. I was part of a group of nerdy kids, mostly girls, and she was the ultra pretty popular kid. She really made fun of me for what I liked, my weight and the fact that I lived on a goat farm. So one day when she was really getting in my face, I shot at her that at least my mother loved me. She burst into tears and ran from class. It was glorious. Every time she bullied us from that point forward, we would always make fun of her mom always ignoring her, and it shut her up so fast. Cruel, yes, but so deliciously effective.
that's so evil, do it again.

I had a bully boy who was nasty towards me during middle school years, he was one of the top five nasty boys of the group, and I threw back at his face something about his mom and he cried and got the security involved, I told her what had happened and explained to her if he couldn't handle comebacks than he shouldn't mess with people he don't know. His mom had died when he was 5 years old. But it was so frustrating ... you go around acting like top dog and bullying everyone around you, but someone comes along and throws that same energy back to your fat @$$ face, don't cry. You asked for it after bullying everyone around you. You get what you give. And there are a lot of stupid fat @$$ narcs in this world, ho just don't know what they are playing.
i saw one of my bullies, recently. it was one of those 'they work retail' situations, but i was just going to pretend like i didn't remember her and get it over with, but she said something really rude about the size of the garment i picked up, and her manager overheard her. i started walking out as soon as i heard her say anything in my direction, but i caught 'this is the last straw' being yelled in the bully's direction. some people are just gross, and tiny on the inside. putting people down is the only way they feel like they're better than you.
I wouldn't say this was bullying exactly, but I feel it can still work here. When I was in my second to last year of college my boyfriend (who was also in the art department) broke up with me saying that I never do anything different with my work, and never come out of my comfort zone. When I applied for my senior thesis which was to be presented the following December, my advisor said my proposal wouldn't be accepted by her higher-ups because it didn't coordinate with the art concentration I had chosen which was Illustration and Design. Well, not only did her higher-ups approve it, but they were excited to see it. Skip ahead to December, I presented 5 figure skating dresses I had designed and sewed (by hand, so no machine). My former advisor and her lackey (my ex-boyfriend who had presented the May before) were both embarrassed when I presented my project. even when I would go back to visit in following years, she refused to even look at me. I now own a thriving company that makes costumes that go up into the hundreds of dollars, in which I do all the work myself. My ex did resurface, only to find that I had changed dramatically, and his tactics no longer worked on me.
I was bullied in elementary and into middle school by the same girl and her friends. When my mom went to the principal about it, she basically told us that life is hard and that people are always gonna be mean to me, so this is actually preparing me for my adult life. I'm so glad my mom didn't take that answer and threatened to go to our local news with her response. As you can imagine, she changed her tune pretty quickly. Schools tend to want to avoid scandals I guess 🤷♀️
There was a girl in my high school who bullied me everyday, told me every single day after school for two years that I should unalive myself because I’m not a talented enough musician. At the age of 17 at the end of high school, I became a nationally recognized composer in my country, and was given a scholarship to study overseas at one of the best music universities in the world. After that, she wanted to be my best friend and tried to be all buddy-buddy with me. Rejecting her and becoming more successful than her was the best type of revenge I’ve ever had
Hey :)
Just wanting to let you (and anyone reading this) know that I am glad you are alive. And you deserve to live and be happy no matter what :)
Welp, jealousy is one ugly thing. Glad u r alive!
❤️
I hope she chokes on that for a long time.
I had a girl who would constantly say she pitied me and said I wasn’t pretty. I didn’t really care since I grew up with mostly boys in my family’s circle so I knew I wasn’t Barbie by any stretch. My dismissive attitude made her mad so she would constantly show off new things her parents got her. She then started to make fun of my family so I put my foot down and retorted to her comments with: “at least my parents are still together and I don’t have to listen to them tell me how much they hate each other.” Her family’s divorce was a touchy subject since they would do petty things to each other and use her as a weapon against the other. She stopped talking to me after that. Good riddance
This is why teachers and therapists and interventions are so important. The girl had her reasons for her pain but chose the worst way to deal with it.
I'm glad she left you alone after your comment.
If she didn’t want to hear that she shouldn’t have kept running her mouth oh well
All these kids with their insecurities, talking loudly about their 'friends' behind their backs, revealing all their secrets in the presence of the invisible kid. Then they think they can pick on the invisible kid, not realizing what tools that kid might have in their arsenal.
I've always been bullied. Since grade school. Dad always told us "if they hit you once, you hit them back twice or you'll be getting the two hit from me" (it was another time back then). My sister abode by that but I felt above their stupid ways and never hit back. One day I was at the top of the gym bleachers just minding my own business (it was like a football field at the bottom and the "bleachers" were about 40 cm high and made of concrete) when out of nowhere a kid and their friends comes and pushes me which I "fell" but saved myself because I liked to run down the steps myself. My sister saw this, asked me to confirm what she thought she saw and then kicked them kid in the shins and dragged it by their hair down all the 28 steps telling it "this is how it feels to go down the stairs like this, if you ever do anything to my sister again, I won't be so kind". She left the kid at the bottom, onlookers didn't dare say who it was or what happened. Sister went up to me and smacked me in the head and said "only we can hit each other dumb@$$".
Ever since she handled things "physically" while I was a "mastermind" like the time a boy "confessed" to my sister only to make fun of her, after she hit him and I found out, I deviced and we executed 6 month plan that took place where by the end he was heartbroken and cried almost everyday for weeks. I told him it was us who did it and that from then on he wouldn't know who to trust because it might just be us again. Looking back it was excessive and I'm glad he didn't un-alive himself, but at that time because of the hurt and bullying my sister suffered from his actions NOTHING was enough punishment. 😒 Sister is the kindest person I know. All those years she was hitting everyone to protect herself and us less "fighty" kids, she didn't deserve what that a.hole did to her and he did learn his lesson and was nicer all around👍🏻
My dad never threatened abuse toward me about my bullies. Because the way he taught me was "Let them hit you first. You hit back, harder. They start it, you finish it." I never had to get violent with people I went to school with. Their bullying was never physical. My physical bullying came from the neighbor boy and my older brother. And yeah, when I punched my brother in the gut and he ran to dad, my dad asked him what he did to make me hit him. He never did it again.
This sounds like my mom and her sisters. My Grandpa is a retired drill instructor and he told his girls the same thing. My mom sure it took it to heart, her younger sisters not so much. It only took once for kids to find out they couldn't bully my mom or her sisters. They were military brats so they had to go through it every time they changed schools.
I had bullies and ended up squaring off with them in 8th grade on the bus, with a letter opener. Bus driver forced them off at my stop and told me, do what you gotta do. They got scared but later one became my friend…still is to this day. This was in the 90s.
My daughter had bullies and I told her say something back. She did but got too good at the verbal roasting. I pushed her to take Karate (I talk about this often on RUclips, she’s now 20 and a black belt twice over) her bullies came for her after hearing her name called for winning several tournaments. One went to hit her and she says she blocked the girl, never losing eye contact and the girl got scared..never bothered her again. She wrote me a letter for Mother’s Day back then, that I keep framed. It said thank you mom for teaching me to stand up for myself. I’m good..I got this, stop worrying. Even further , we came across a man in a Walgreens who was bullying the pharmacist because he had to come inside to get his prescription. This was about a year ago. We finally couldn’t take it anymore and told him to get his stuff and get going, stop speaking to the woman like that. I;m also a martial artist, but my daughter outranks me, lol. So we are two pretty confident women…and really little lol. This man thought he’d intimidate us by walking towards us really fast. I stood there with my arms folded, ready to rock if need be, when I saw a blur to my left. My daughter stepped just halfway between me and this man and says ‘You don’t wanna do that man…’. He grumbled but backed down. I was so choked up. I’ve protected her her whole life. To have her protect me…. I’m not crying..you’re crying.
You raised a good kid. :) like mother, like child, good on you, my dude, genuinely!
I apparently was bullied in high school. I say apparently because at our 10 year reunion a girl came up to me with a sheepish expression and profusely apologized for being my really good friend and then turning her back on me to join the popular kids.
My revenge? “Thank you for the nice apology but I’m Sorry sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about this. Tell me your name again?” The look on her face was….so worth it.
My high-school bully made my life hell for months, she said it was me who was bulling her turned all my friends against me, ripped up my school work and uniform, put chewing gum in my hair, stole things from my backpack and locker, poured drinks on me. I got in so much trouble with teachers because she would spread rumors and lies about me. The amount of classes I got pulled out of was ridiculous. However I ignored it and went on as normal. A few months later the teachers found out she was lying and suspended her for a week. When she came back she apologised and we became somewhat friends (always kept her at arms length but would say hi if she waved or saw me in the hall). Years later I got a letter from the police asking what her life was like back then, turns out she was being abused and SA'd at home by her dad and had taken it out on me. I stood on the stand and explained what my life had been like during those months and how it had affected her and me. She won the case against her dad and ended up thanking me, "saying she wouldn't have done the same if she was in my position". Sometimes it's nice to be the bigger person
The truth is the truth.
Wow, you're really strong and brave. This is definitely a huge life lesson 😢
👎👎👎👎👎
I used to work at Dunking Donuts, then this girl got hired. My coworker then told me that the new girl was her high school bully, so i told her just tell the manager bécause i knew my manager and i know she would do something about it. So instead of telling the bully anything she gave her all the hard work, make her clean up messes and all These crazy things until one day she had enough she broke down crying saying why we were so mean to her. So my manager told her “You werent crying and complaining when you would harass your peers” she ranned out crying 🤣🤣never came back. Best day ever
So I never was bullied, I was taught and raised better than that. But I was a terror to those who bullied others, like the type of guy that would take pleasure in making the bully cry. In high school there was a girl named Rachael C. who was merciless in her bullying, especially to girls of a lower income bracket than hers… or better yet her parents income bracket. We had elective classes in our Jr. and Sr. years if you were ahead of your mandatory requirement classes. I was a Jr. and she was a Sr. and we shared one of these classes.
At first she wasn’t too bad but one of her best friends got into the class due to a schedule change and they zeroed in on a fellow Sr. classmate of theirs named Amanda. For the better part of 2 weeks Amanda took their abuse until one day, a Tuesday, she was not in class. We found out that Thursday in class Amanda had attempted self-harm over the relentlessly cruel treatment of these two girls. This was the early 90’s so thankfully there was no social media yet. Rachael and her friend Jenny made an ugly comment and laughed about it. I asked if they thought it was funny and Rachael said “Well of course, just like it was funny when we messed with her here and at her stupid job”. I lost it. I went on a damn near 20 minute tirade of insults, rumors and innuendo I heard regarding them both and every cruel and horrible thing I could say. It was so bad that Rachael didn’t come back to that class because it was the only one we had together and was embarrassed. Jenny cried and was forced to spend the remainder of the school year with me. I made it miserable for them both however I could.
Fast forward YEARS later and my Son is going on a date with this young girl. He shows me what she looks like on Instagram and I’m struck by how familiar she looks. I asked her parents name and he informed me that her parents were divorced and her Dad lived out of state and he didn’t know her Mom’s name. At this point it’s important to note that my two Sons look like carbon copies of me right down to the same exact smile… especially when being sarcastic. About an hour after he leaves he pulls back into the driveway. As he enters our house, he has an amused look on his face. I asked why was he home already, did he forget something. He proceeds to laugh and say “ No Dad, Sydney’s Mom took one look at me and asked if you were my Dad. I told her yes Ma’am and she got so frustrated and started hyper/ugly crying about you and I couldn’t really make out what she was saying. I sat outside for like 30 minutes and Sydney came out and told me everything. Apparently you broke her Mom down in her Sr. year of high school and it caused her all sorts of problems. Everything from her high school job found out what she did to some girl that they fired her to the HS Guidance Counselor informed her college choices on her character and she lost her two offers to her choice schools. She blames you for her life being horrible all because you eviscerated her and her friend over them being bullies.” I looked my Son in the eye and laughed. I told him that poor girl she bullied never returned to school and ended up dropping out of school. She was bullied so bad she tried to end things. They were relentless. Knowing my giving that Rachael girl everything she gave Amanda back x100 broke her like that was a success I never knew I had. Wrong or right.
That's a...... colourful story, but I can't help but question why you wouldn't have intervened on behalf of Amanda sooner if you were really such a vigilante.
I remember going to the school counselor because I got sick of being bullied cause of the clothes I wore. He said "have you thought about changing your look?" ... I'm now 36 and still rockin the goth/metaller look. 🤘🏻
Wow wtf... sweetie if I was your mom, I would tell you to punch all their faces in and take you out for cake and ice cream! Glad you are still you!
Wow, I'm sorry and speechless! SO unprofessional to say that.
wow, that is so not helpful. i was bullied by a kid regularly right in front of our mechanical drawing teacher and he didn't do or say anything, ever. what a shithead.
I was blessed with an amazing older sister who stood up for me and made sure that I wasn't bullied. No one could lay a finger on me because she protected me. I had some bullies who would say mean things to me but I was never bullied physically. The one time a girl pushed me on the playground, my sister was in her face yelling at her so fast and no one ever pushed me again. Unfortunately, my sister was bullied verbally a lot in school and often blamed for things she didn't do by her classmates. But I was too little to help her and didn't understand. But she is now doing amazing and living her dream and I am so proud of her!
My big sister slapped a kid at a skating rink because she heard him say something awful to me. She told him to never talk to me again. He left me alone after that. That was the only time though, because she was at the same school due to our age difference. I dealt with bullies for my little brother though.
Bless sisters like yours. 💝💖
My Younger sister spent 10 months in Denmark as a foreign exchange student which was an awesome experience but when she got back the rumors were all that she had been gone for a year because she had gotten pregnant. Before her trip she had been on the swim team but after a year without swimming she didn't think she was in shape to compete so she switched to diving whose events were simultaneous with the swim events so she could still support her friends. On top of all this my mom was activated from reserves in the military and had to leave for Germany leaving me (2 years older than my sister and a legal adult) in charge of the house. Both of us found out that she had been getting bullied badly when she called my mom in tears. Almost all of her friends from swimming had begun calling her "STD" supposedly "Swimmer-Turned-Diver" and treating her like crap (reverse culture shock is a thing, coming back after a long time abroad can suck). My mom, bad-@ss that she is, emailed the swimming and diving coaches, CC'd the school's athletics director and someone on the school board asking them to correct this behavior and wondering what kind of culture they had built that my sister's long time friends would not only turn on her but think that this behavior was acceptable? Never doubt the power of a properly placed strongly worded letter.
Jesus that std joke is brutal
lol the worst “mean girl” bullying i ever experienced was in college… people really don’t grow up. if i told the story you’d think it was middle school with how petty they were… i could barely believe it when it happened to me
My daughter is fairly popular. Meaning she never lacks friends to be with. Here the other day a lot of people in her class got together online and bullied another girl. My daughter stood up for her and said she's gone walk with [girl] now and if the others don't want to then they're not walking together. And she went over to [girl] 45mins before they had to walk to cheer her up.
I got so much respect for my daughter. Both of the girl's parents messaged me after and thanked me and praised my daughter ❤️
What a beautiful personality you have
Beautiful job raising a beautiful child.❤
I have a similar story. I have been bullied for as long as I can remember in my primary school (after that too, but not as much, because I got recognized as the smart person with good grades). There was another girl who had been getting bullied, and one time I protected her, as she ran away from the bullies and I led them away. So we befriended. My other « friends » tried to discourage me from it, but I was stern and told them it was not their business.
Before, no one ever stood up for me when I was getting bullied.
We’ve been BFF for 4 years, then our ways separated. We have been together at our lowest and highest, and the bullying actually stopped.
You did a great job as a parent, and your daughter - as a human.
Amazing!!! Sometimes all it takes is for one person to stand up and break away from that hive mentality to set an example of kindness and intolerance to hurting others for no reason at all. As a mother you should be proud!! Because your child also showed you in one act of kindness that she is a well balanced individual comfortable in her own skin and confident in herself enough to speak up unafraid of other people's opinions. You 💯 got a girl with a good head on her shoulders , a leader not a follower that will stand up for those that cannot stand up for themselves. This is where you get to see all those wonderful parenting lessons shine through the cracks illuminating the mature little human you helped guide and create that will undoubtedly make our world a better place!!!!
All of your kind comments and similar stories make me tear up, in a good way ❤️
Charlotte thanking her bullies at the end is the ultimate revenge goal . As somebody said , "Living life well is the best revenge" . If not , the documentary Mean Girls can serve as inspiration 😁 .
Ug
My favorite bully revenge story happened to a girl I went to High School with. Unfortunately, I didn't witness this but wish I had.
This poor girl was extremely shy, her parents were strict Pentecostal Holiness. She had to wear long shapeless, ugly, "modest" dresses, she was not allowed to cut her hair and it was always in a bun on top of her head. She wasn't allowed to wear makeup and her shoes looked like something only a very old woman would wear. I felt sorry for her because I had some family who also followed that religion who made their children's lives miserable, so I knew she was forced to dress this way. She also wasn't allowed to make eye contact with boys, or make friends with anyone who wasn't a member of her church. Some of the popular kids were absolutely brutal, because they knew she wouldn't fight back or report them.
I didn't go to my 10 year class reunion, but she did.
I did go to my 20 year reunion, and that's where I heard what happened... ten years later, people were still talking about her amazing transformation!
She walked in wearing a sexy red dress that showed off her rocking bod, her hair and makeup were perfect, and everyone wondered who this gorgeous woman was because no one remembered her!
I'm glad she was able to break away from her parents' cult. What they did to her was beyond cruel. I admire her determination to take charge of her own life. Success really is the best revenge!
I got revenge on my bully from 3rd grade up to highschool. I hadn't seen her in years. I was the hiring manager at a store. She walked in looking for a job. I asked her if she remembered me and she said no. I said I remembered you and I threw her application in the trash right in front of her. Let's just say she never got that job. Petty maybe but revenge was so sweet.
For me I had a severely traumatic childhood where my narcissistic mother was my biggest bully from 2000-2012. I also had other bullies who did me dirty too. I now have a Barbie series where all my childhood traumas were on the show.. funny this year I looked up my childhood bullies and they look THE EXACT SAME AS BACK THEN NO GLOW UP AT ALL. It was so cathartic to put them on a billboard earlier this year for the world to see LMFAO I’ve now become a sex symbol and they are now nobodies. One of them became an alcoholic and gained a lot of weight.. someone on TikTok bullied them the same way they did me back in 2008 LMAO THE GLORY 😂😂
As someone who also got bullied for simply being myself, I love this video and my heart goes out to you. That pain never really goes away.
True. I'm almost 30 and still trying to heal from it.
That moment when you like the video immediately after clicking on it because you know it'll be awesome anyway 🤣
I do that with all of Charlotte's videos! Love her ❤️
I’ve just gotten into the habit of always hitting the like button every time I open any video on RUclips, with a few exceptions
Yes!! Lol
Yes!! 😆 lol
Yessss, always!!
Reading/listening to all these experiences with bullies really hits close to home, but then when you get to the revenge part it feels so cathartic.
I was bullied hard in middle school. By the 2nd week of high school I was WAY stronger and tougher than the bullies. I got my revenge by being strong, faster and better. I guess I bullied them back a little bit but just once per bully. I made sure they understood just how weak and powerless they really were. There's something cathartic about cornering 1 of your bullies and telling him, "you're not strong enough to stop this. YOU'RE... TOO... WEAK!"
Uhhhh 😂😂😂 that ending is so suspect bro
I had bullies in high school when I played baseball that tormented me so bad that they made me feel genuinely unsafe, like they would purposely try to hurt me at baseball practice. My younger sister started high school early when I was a senior, she was gorgeous by 13 but had the psyops capabilities of a secret agent. She tormented those bullies so significantly that several years later when they'd see her, she'd just smile & they would freak out & scream profanity at her. It was the best revenge ever!
Your sister sounds amazing💪
@@karisworldgaming4832 OH my goodness, like you wouldn't even believe! She's only gotten better with age. She married her high school sweetheart that was one of my buddies in high school. She put herself through college while working & married. She got hired with the DoD then got a scholarship to pursue her PhD in Electrical Engineering. She is a full-time mom that works from home for a high tech company. She is extremely fierce but still incredibly humble. Most people have no idea about her accomplishments because she thinks nothing of it. She still defends me like Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders.
Made me realize how blessed I was to have a school administration that took bullying seriously. It was a small private school owned by a lovely family who most them are teachers. The owner was always onsite and she personally made sure every bullying case was seriously addressed. My bully got severely punished and the school owner made sure that the parents were involved to make sure the bully carries out her punishment. That has really made a difference in my life, and I will forever be grateful to them and my parents for not just taking the “let’s talk” action and really made sure kids understood consequences for actions.
I was born premature and was probably not going to be that big anyway since my mom was 4' 11" and was used to being bullied by the time I got to high school. What I didn't expect was to be bullied by the teachers that were also coaches. I guess the jock mentality never dissipated for them. I made things worse by correcting them whenever I was in their classrooms. I was stubborn but once I started doing several football players homework, I was protected. From the students and the coaches. The players kept students from bullying me because they were happy to have me do their homework, the football coach protected me from the other coaches because I now was in control of their eligibility...
I was working as a professor some years ago, and it is absolutely in the teacher's hands to try his/her best and stop bullying before it reaches the critical point. I had several students who were bullied and was able to mostly stop it every time. The main issue of the system are people who don't give a shit about children but are still getting positions because of salary or convenience. If you are not ready to invest your time, effort, and heart in your students, stay away from pedagogy.
I grew up in a very ritzy private school. I was also very VERY poor, and came from a single mother home. The whole class used to bully me. From making it look like someone actually liked me to pick on me, throwing rocks at me, pushing me down in the halls, calling names and even making up a pretend spray to "spray" anything I touched. I hated them. They were miserable little tiny jerks. I loved all of this. I finally had had enough, and beat the snot out of the meanest girl. She deserved it. She bullied me for 5 whole years, and was the ring leader of the idiots. She NEVER got in trouble. Ever. But it was sure worth getting in trouble when her eye was black and lip was split. Man it felt good.
You're allowed to defend yourself from an assault, but an unprovoked physical assault is never ok. Hurt feelings don't constitute provocation of battery. That people are condoning this is scary. If a woman were to hurt her husband's feelings for five years, and he had enough and did the same to his wife, would he receive the same adulation?
@@jenx5870 then how about stop targeting and hurting them?
Good for you. The only thing bullies understand is violence.
@@jenx5870 the girl in question wasn't so set on hurting my feelings, as she was in just hurting me. The day I took revenge, she actually stabbed me with a pencil, and I still have the graphite in my shoulder. I was standing at my locker minding my business, and she attacked me unprovoked, and always with my back turned. She would throw rocks at me, push me down and kick me, pinch me in line then tell me to shh, take my glasses and throw them into tge street when cars went by.... she was awful. It was definitely not unprovoked.
@Jen X ^
U think Erika attacked her bully unprovoked now?🤨
I was bullied a lot in elementary and high school. My parents weren't rich, we weren't dressed up to fashion at the time, I was a bit chubby, introverted and a nerd (before it was cool). I had a glow up in college, lost weight, gained confidence, started to dress better, use make up, etc. I couldn't attend my 10 year high school reunion because I was in Japan for a trip. Some of the guys from the reunion that used to bully me reached out to me on Facebook. Two of them ask me if I was single because they wanted to go out with me. Jokes on them, I do not date men.
I really hope you didn't tell them about not dating men and just told that you are not interested in dating them specifically.🤣
I hope she told them given what she knew of their character, she could hardly resist, but it's just [something about their looks]
You should've told them that they were so ugly (inside and out) that they turned you gay.
I was bullied in high school during the pandemic and a little before. This group of people who I thought were my friends and acted like we were friends in person, made a group chat and made fun of me in it. They would text while we were in zoom classes and make fun of me for answering questions that the teacher asked. I literally never did anything to them so I was absolutely shocked when one of my friends got put in the chat and sent me screenshots of what they said. One of the girls in the group was a close friend of mine, I was there for her during hard times and helped her do her calc homework every day. I sent that girl the screenshots of the chat and nothing else. She texted me trying to apologize and all kinds of bull shit and I turned on my read receipts so she could see that I read them, and I just didn’t respond. We eventually went back to school my senior year and the people in the chat were in all of my classes, so I told all of my teachers what they did so we wouldn’t be sat next to each other. I then confronted them one at a time and basically said never to talk to me or look at me or ask me for anything ever again, and that they were just jealous and self conscious and should really get some help. I never had an issue with them from then on. I still carry the trauma and it has severely impacted my ability to trust people, but I’m happy I got to say my piece and feel like a baddie. Thank you so much for your videos I wish I could have done something more petty but it is what it is.
The thought of you eating your lunch in the bathroom because of bullies literally broke my heart 😔 for what it's worth, I think you're amazing, and your videos make my days so much better. You got me thru a very hard time a few months ago. Please don't ever stop making content! Love ya babe!!!! 💚
Ms popularity learned that while those in authority may overlook her behaviour, her peers certainly won’t. As a former teacher I witnessed negative peer pressure, but just occasionally was able to counter it by generating POSITIVE peer pressure among fellow students!
Hy
good for you! my biggest problem with my group of bullies was that the ring leader was the teacher!
I was bullied all through school and it peaked about half way through grade 8. So one day, after I had had enough, a bully of mine intentionally raked one finger (not crazy hard, but hard enough that I could feel it) across my back. I whipped around so fast and grabbed the first body part I could ( her upper arm) and sank my nails into her skin. The louder she screamed and strangled, the more I dug in. She eventually broke free, I was still bullied till grade 12, but never to that extent at that point in time. 2 years later I encountered her in high school (in the library), she was wearing a white t shirt, said ' remember this?' and showed me the scar, I said yes, and then she proceeded to call me a bitch. My response was 'you deserved it'. Never talked to her again.
I was horrifically bullied in elementary & junior high but luckily had a great high school experience. Strangely enough, about 15 years later, one of the bullies sent me a heartfelt apology for what he had done to me. So unexpected and greatly appreciated.
9:50 i genuinly believed they would give him an already used gift card 😂💀
I got bullied for so long. I got beaten up as well, she told me to k*ll myself and that if she looked like me she'd rather die. She turned people against me including my crush at the time who suddenly started to harassing me on a daily basis. At some point I was pushed over the edge and fought her what left me being expelled for 2 weeks and her being portrayed as the victim. School was never a place for safety or joy, it just brought sadness and fear.
So sorry to hear that!!! I hope that you have people in your life now that support and nurture now. You deserve it.
Well she can be the victim all her life, but you got out and you got a good punch into her on your way out.
I hear you and understand you! You are strong and you survived it!
Thank you all for the kind words. It means a lot to me to be heard 💖
@@callmefeckers9870 You very welcome. I know what it can do to us who went through it. Stay strong 💪
I loved how when I joined fb years after high school all my bullies added me and messaged really friendly thinking I automatically forgave and forgot them making my life hell. Even worse I’d see them either complaining about their kids getting bullied or that they were pissed at their kids because they just found out their kids have been bullying their classmates. Absolutely zero self awareness.
Thats what they relly on and call it growing up, for some reason.
Sometimes you have to be “cruel to be kind” for someone to learn their lesson.
I was definitely bullied as a kid since I was small, quiet, sweet and Asian. I was bullied days after days and years after years by different bullies. I was just a magnet for bullying when I was young. I got into fights with girls and even boys when I couldn’t take it anymore and got suspended a few times. I can withstand the bullying and the taunting but once their fist starts flying, I won’t hold back. Although school and kids were bad, they were nothing compared to my terrible horrible no good father. He was the worst emotionally, mentally and physically. Now I’m all grown up. I’m bullied free and father free. Although I’ve forgiven all my bullies and my father, I’m still traumatized by my father til today. I can let go of everything in my past but my father I just can’t seemed to let go because the scars were rooted too deep.
That's the thing about bullies, they can dish it out but they can't take it when it happens to them. If you don't stand up to them they'll never stop.
when I tried standing up for myself in high school they brought a knife the next day
I never got revenge on my bullies, but I ended up getting a chance to report the school I went to (and in turn, the principal that had spent a decade refusing to acknowledge the bullying because it would look bad to admit they had a problem) to a newly formed agency that focused specifically on holding schools accountable when they didn't do enough to stop bullying and abuse on school time.
Principal ended up being front page news in the local newspaper because everyone thought it was real interesting that this super posh school that claimed to be the best at everything actually wasn't so good after all, they got chased off their job and called me to apologise personally.
This was a good few years after I'd left school, but it felt good to at least know that that particular principal wasn't going to ignore another child that was suffering abuse on school time.
I know I said that "your no better than the bully If you do something back to them" but I change my mind. These kinds of people do deserve getting humbled.
I was mercilessly teased by this girl in school, teased, pushed, called names, getting everyone in the class to laugh at me every time I spoke etc. I knew a little bit about her and her family from other classmates and I found out where her sister works. I got a job there and became SUPER BEST FRIENDS with her sister. I spent every weekend at her house and even spent 2 weeks on vacation with her and her family. Her mother FORCED her to be nice to me and I learned a bunch of her weird habits, routines, fear of the dark and a couple of awkward family pictures that could "end" her. I think she realized that, because the next year in school was a LOT better. I'm still friends with her sister.
Master strategy
My son was being bullied by another boy in 7th grade but never told us. It all came to a head when the bully started picking on a girl with developmental disabilities and my son grabbed the bully and hit him twice. I got a call from the assistant principal, my son got suspended for 3 days… but the bully got booted from the district. My son had tried ignoring the bully and walking away, but when the bully started picking on someone who couldn’t defend themselves (the girl), my son said he snapped. I’m proud of him for standing up for his friend, though I wish he had told us sooner. The other bullies in that clique stopped bullying kids for quite a while once they figured out someone might hit back.
"Isn't mean girls a documentary?" That question actually shocked me, that is the best movie ever made.
My son grew tall, 6'5", and during this growing stage was incredibly slim and a bit awkward. Added to this, he was introverted, painfully shy and just kept to himself - perfect target for a bullying. In year 12 (17ish), unbeknownst to me, he started to be bullied mercilessly by one particular boy. He stoically ignored it and bore it out for a number of months until one day, he must have just snapped. He wheeled around and smacked that boy so hard, he went down on his ass with a thud. Being so tall, he stood over him, took him by the scruff and told him to just fuck off. Loud cheer went up all round the school. Well I was called up to the school to talk to the principal. Much to my surprise, the principal was of the opinion that the bully must have pushed really hard to illicit a reaction like that out of my boy and that proved that the bully deserved his smack down. The bully had to come face me and my boy for mediation, which I hear he was more terrified of than the principal (I had the reputation of being a 'Don't Mess With Me' kind of person), and apologise to both me and my boy, which he did most humbly. My boy didn't face any punishment whatsoever and gained the nickname of Scotty Balboa. The bully never bothered him again.
A girl in my year was part of a group that bullied our group religiously, and she was one of the worst ones. About 4 years ago I saw a post on Facebook from a girl who met her on a night out, hung out and took pictures then this bully posted the pictures with a racist caption targeted at this girl. Loads of people saw and she lost her job. I commented how she hasn’t changed since school, she accused me of lying and I told her she couldn’t hurt me any more. Also that I didn’t care that she lost her job and she deserved it 😂
I was bullied by a group of girls so bad I had to change schools. I got the chewing gum on my clothes, hair randomly cut in class, got slapped without reason and so on. A few years later, I was doing a lot better and had a huge glow-up, lost weight, learned how to use makeup and all, turned into popular girl at my HS, big confidence boost most of all. Randomly walked into one of the girls from the bully group, and she exclaimed "omg, we went to middle school together! Girl you look good!" I was with my bf and that girl was with a bunch of her friends I didn't know. I didn't hesitate a second and I went "Sorry... who are you?" The girl went upset and insisted we went to that school, that year and so on, but I just kept playing like I'd been In that class but could not remember her. Her friends started laughing as it was embarrassing to her, and my bestie chuckled and said "that was cute she recognizes you! Sorry, girl, we gotta go!" And I walked off, leaving her pisswd and confused AF. Best revenge either.
You should’ve gotten your parents involved and had them charged with assault.... unfortunately there is a lack of knowledge school kids have that even if the admin won’t do something, the police always can 😈😈😈 good luck getting into uni with a criminal record 😂😂😂😂 (albeit youth records usually get sealed)
Oh my gosh 😢🫂 so sorry you experienced that 🫂 + lmao sweet revenge
I love the fact your Mum took you into that shop! 😂Your Mum rules!
Hate when people say don't retaliate because that makes a bullied person no better than the bully. Bullying has shitty impacts physically and more damaging, emotionally. It's inhumane. They deserve to have a taste of their own medicine. Especially when no one is helping the one getting bullied. Everyone should be left to be 'weird', shy and kooky all they want, without an insecure and weak person having to belittle them. And if they did, they deserve whatever is coming to them.
Mine is kind of unique, I was getting bullied at work by an awful younger coworker who made my life a living hell when I was going through a breakup and doing my best to keep it together at work. She'd constantly call me out at staff meetings even though I did night shift and the staff meetings were in the middle of the day. She'd complained I lacked motivation and energy and I'm like "yeah being up at work all night and then most of the day does that." She'd often set me up for failure at work which is sad because it was a caregiving job and her purposeful lack of communication endangered patients. Well, at one staff meeting, I called her out for leaving a patient in a locked room and not giving me the new key code during staff crossover. The area director and house manager were there and questioned her in front of all of us. She wouldn't have been in such trouble if she just admitted she made a mistake but it set her off lying like crazy and defending herself until it was clear to the supervisors she's very manipulative and lies. She was fired not long after.
As someone who was tormented during kindergarten all the way to the end of high school this hit home and wish I could've done some petty revenge.
Yeah I here ya. We were poor in a “rich” town. Anyone who didn’t have money was bullied. All through school. The best day of my life was graduating high school. Went back once as one of my kids was in band and they had a competition there. So got creepy feels from it. Class reunions aren’t meaningful for me.
It's never too late 😏
"Bullied" in kindergarten? Lmao I think it's time to let it go
@@the.office.alliance4736 Ohh look ladies and gents our local troll showed up. Be careful they bite when you feed them... 🤣🤣🤣
@@the.office.alliance4736 You first Elsa.
While I have been bullied I never considered it bullying ( it was a tough area) until much later in life. But that was when I was a child and I always stood up for myself and fought back. Even though no one helped me whenever I saw someone else being bullied I stepped in on their behalf. I would defend strangers, people I didn’t like etc. Most times just the realisation these people weren’t alone and had someone willing to fight for them made people back off. I still intervene as an adult . I don’t really understand why more people don’t get involved it just strikes me as the right thing to do even if people don’t return the favour.
Not a revenge story, but I had a friend in my second year of high school that I got along with really well. He was gay and I was wierd, we weren't ostracized or anything, but we weren't popular either. On our third year of high school, he started hanging out with some other girls led around by a girl that used to be my best friend from way back, but she moved schools and we drifted appart. Anyway, their little friend group started to solidify, and I found other friends that I became close with. During our 4th year (senior year in my country) their friend group has become the infamous "mean girls" group. They would do things like solicit juniors for "school fees" that they would then use to buy alcohol (and quite possibly drugs as hinted by one of our teachers whose husband is a police officer), cut classes to go drinking, come to school drunk, and disrespect teachers and school staff, etc. Anyway, this friend group for some reason decided that my friends and I were going to be their bullying targets. It was just annoying for the most part, but there was this one incident where it just went overboard. And like, everyone knows me as a well loved teacher's daughter with crappy health, so even when I try to keep my family out of it, they are bound to hear about it, one way or the other. So anyway, my mom found out (without my knowledge) and confronted them for their bullying. The next day they gave me shade for the humiliation instead of apologizing, because they thought I told on them, but at least they stopped bullying us after that. Few years later, "gay friend" messages me, admitted his mistakes, and apologized for everything. He'll never be a close friend, but at least he apologized (unlike some b*tches smh (¬_¬))
I used to get bullied so bad I'd come home crying. One day I remember coming home from middle school, having been pestered all day and on the bus back home and sobbing about how helpless I felt, and my dad took me over to the kitchen table to sit me down. I thought he was going to tell me about how I needed to be tough and be the bigger person; kill them with kindness or whatever. But he grabbed my hand, wiped away my tears and told me that next time someone bullied or pushed me around, I had his permission to beat the hell out of them. He said when I got suspended, we'd go out and have ice cream, watch some movies at the theater and have a GREAT time. I was so excited, I went to school the next day READY to swing on my bullies. But funny enough, I guess my new confidence showed, because I wasn't bullied a single day after that. MAYBE my parents pulled the strings behind the scenes, but I do think there's merit to granting kids permission to defend themselves and knowing that their parents/guardians have their back.
In the animal world, predators access their prey and walk away if it’s not the time. You probably had, “Not today” gleam in your eye.
I was a teachers aid who worked for a teacher who realized that doing gnthe whole "going to the principals office" thing to deal with bullying ended up being humiliating for the bullied kid. So she would be patient and wait and bring it up during parent reaches conferences. She would collect information and bullying incidents and let it all out in the open during the conferences where the only people involved was her, the bully and their parent.
As someone who was bullied through kindergarten to middle school, thank you for this video. I got revenge one day by telling a middle school friend of mine about everything he did. This guy would swear at me, pick on me because I was a short kid (I’m now 22 and 5’6”) and called me all sorts of names. So, after telling my middle school friend, at the end of the day (at the bus line) my middle school friend goes STRAIGHT UP to him and starts swearing him out and doing the exact same things he did to me. I stood in the back smiling like I won the lottery. I never got in trouble for what happened, but he sure did! ❤
You're definitely right that teachers won't do anything about bullying! When my oldest son was a sophomore in high school he'd come home nearly everyday and tell me about this senior that was bullying a boy with special needs. I have a daughter with special needs so this was especially upsetting to my son. He had told several teachers, hall monitors and even the principal several times of the actions of the senior bully. One day I get a call at work from the principal letting me know they were going to expell my son from school for beating the hell out of a kid. Of course I was furious at my son and the look on my face when I showed up about caused him to shit himself. When he was finally able to get a word in, he says "Mom. It was the senior. And he wouldn't stop" In an instant my attitude changed. I apologized to him, looked at the principal, who now looks beyond confused and said, " if you think for one second I'm going to punish my son for beating the hell out of a senior bullying a child with special needs then you have me f*cked up!! My son has repeatedly reported that little punk for his actions and you've done absolutely NOTHING to resolve the situation. You have done NOTHING to protect the well-being of a special needs child. Seniors should be the epitome of what is taught in this school. Obviously you couldn't do your job so my son did it for you." The principal was white as a ghost at this point and manages to stutter, "We don't condone violence here." I quickly respond "But you obviously don't condemn bullying. Your lack of responsibility for your students is what caused my son to morally take action against this bully and if you can't protect the kids under your care than you're as useless as a limp d*ck!" Principal's jaw dropped. I looked over my shoulder and said, "c'mon son. We're going to the movies and getting ice cream. I'm so proud of you for standing up for what's right when apparently the teachers won't." Looked back at principal and said, "I will be reporting you to the school board." I received a phone call the next day letting me know they were reducing the expulsion to 3 days suspension because they still don't condone violence but under the circumstances my son showed a good moral compass. My son returned to school a hero. To one child especially. The bully kept his head down the rest of the year😁
No one bullied me in high school. I really didn't care about most of the popular kids but any kind of academic game they all wanted to be on my team. Playing Jeopardy with test answers and letting the winning team get 20 points added to your test scores kept people from bullying nerds.
YOU GO, MOMMA!!
HUG YOUR SON FOR ME, PLEASE!! ❤️❤️❤️
That Was An Awesome Mama Bear Moment!!! Glad You Actually Said All Those To The Authorities' Face!!! Go Mama
I find these stories so satisfying!! Probably makes me petty but I don't care. Bullies had a field day picking on me (mostly because I am non neurotypical) which led me to try end my own life at 14. I didn't deserve to be treated that way so it's satisfying hearing about bullies getting some karma.
One class in middle school I dreaded going to most of all because my bullies would physically hurt me and my male teacher would always just stair at my breast 🙄 I had lotion bottles , hair brushes , and even nails ( nails you hammer into a wall ) thrown at my head and one time they even stapled my arms. I was a lil 5 ft twig scene girl at the time so I was a easy target. One day I don’t know how these bullies found out but they had found out how my mother passed away from ppd and told me to go do the same thing my mom did I broke and ran to get help I couldn’t be silent anymore…. But when I got to the office the counselor came out of her office and told me to come in , she listen to my story but then told me that I need change the way I look and go apologize to my classmates for the way I dress ( keep in mind I wore a sweatshirt everyday because that teacher I was a twig but had big breast at the time and felt uncomfortable around him and other students so most the time I wore neon pants and baggy sweatshirt with my hair teaser with a big bow. After this happened I went home and told my step mom what had happened …. My parents showed up at the school my dad walked in and everyone went silent because my dad was a big shot on school board until this day I never knew how much power this was I always thought it was dorky until he got the counselor and teacher both fired and those girls suspended. They left me alone after that. What’s even funnier two years later my style was the new trend and they ended up dressing like me … 🙄😂 . Also I was not close with my dad so I didn’t feel comfortable coming right away when all of these things were happening. But now I’m grown up with my own family living a happy life with man of my dreams and four children 💕 I don’t know what happened to all the girls I know the main two : one got left behind from her baby daddy and the other got caught selling drugs and went to jail 🤷♀️ sorry but not sorry 😘
Sorry for the long message in advance.
When I was on 6th grade a girl I usted to help with math started bullying me because according to her I always wanted the teachers attention and believed myself More inteligente than everyone else "her words" since I earned academic recognition and a merit medal from previous grade. She found ways to interrupt me while participating on class, tripped me whenever I walked down the hall, dropped paper on my desk, etc.
I kept complaining to my teachers after every incident until the teachers got tired of the situation. I was kind of shy and didn't talk much to other students. However, I was part of the Athletic and Gymnastics teams. So, my Team mates sometimes talked the bully down when they were around me.
After an incident when she pushed me down the stairs of my school, I got minor scratches on my hands and knees. The teacher just told me that she didn't want to hear another complaint from this bully, the director and counselors of my school had already met with her and her parents a few times but they were unable to stop her behaviour.
My teacher said to me if she does something else to me to slap her really hard and scream in her face in front of everyone.
Obviously, I did what my teacher recommended that same day. After class, I was leaving with my sister as always, and I felt someone pulling on my backpack. It was the bully. She insulted me and there were most of the students close enough to hear her cause everyone was leaving for the day. I just dropped my backpack on my sister hands, Turned around and slapped her like 5 times, pulled her hair and since she was a few inches shorter than me (she was 1 year older) I picked her up and dropped her head first inside a garbage bin that was almost full.
Everyone laughed at her when she kept tripping into the garbage. Some teachers saw me do this but I was never called out. When the bully went to complaint against me , the director and counselors suspended her for 3 while weeks because she said some profanities when talking about me and she admitted starting the "fight" because I insulted her first.
There were over a hundred students and several teachers who witnessed the complete thing. I never had to defend myself against her accusations cause everyone saw her start the problem and many people were aware of her bullying me for quite some time.
It felt soooo good.
That was over 15 years ago and until this date some friends of mine still remember me picking her up and dripping her on the garbage as the most hiralous fight ever, since she needed help to get out of the dumspter😂
Your comment was worth reading. Literally burst laughing.
Who did help her to get out of the bin though? I imagine not much people would want to touch trash😏
Bullying is literally the worst! I suffered from it all the way through school, getting beaten and constantly ridiculed every single day. My home life was very toxic too, I had an abusive grandmother and an older schizophrenic brother that was always trying to kill me (he literally thought I was a demon when my parents had me, it really wasn't his fault, but it added to the torture that was my life). I never had a moments peace, and when you said you felt so alone Charlotte, that really resonated with me because that seriously was the worst part! I'd tell teachers and parents, but they were all like "just ignore it and it will go away." 😔 I'm 41 years old now, suffer multiple autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia due to the constant toxic stress and trauma I suffered for 16 years (I moved out at 16 and quit school for obvious reasons). I also suffer terrible depression and anxiety, on top of a myriad of other symptoms, due to my conditions. The bullying may have stopped when I was 16, but my life has been forever ruined because of it. I'm still very blessed in many ways, I'm married with a beautiful daughter who makes me so happy, so it's not all bad, but I'd give anything to be a normal happy and healthy person. Bullies literally stole my health from me forever, it's so unfair. And I went to my 20 year school reunion, they were all still c**ts that treated me awfully, but at least I fought back this time. They tried giving me a hard time and tried to insult me, and I just clapped back with "well I know you're trying to insult me right now, but I obviously left a more lasting impression on you than you did on me because I have zero f**king idea who you are!" 😂 and I wasn't lying, every single bully was like a copy of the other, all fake gossipy little bitches, that I didn't even remember who was who except for one lady, that's it. They actually left me alone for the rest of the night and I talked to some old friends and had a pretty good time, but I was struck by how immature and pathetic these people were, like are you seriously so devoid of personality that you still bully people? People that have forgotten all about you? I feel sorry for their co-workers, that's for sure. Can you imagine what they're like to work with! Yikes!
I am so unbelievably thankful that my mom was so supportive of my siblings and I growing up. (I’m one of five)
She taught us to speak up, she taught us to stand up for ourselves when no one else would.
I remember a time in elementary where a boy would annoy me or spit at me or what have you. I told the teacher over and over. And she finally said “I can’t do anything about it, handle it yourself”
So I did.
He spat on me one more time and I punched him in the face. (Mind you we were maybe 6)
I was sent to the principals office, and my parents where called along with his.
The teacher kept talking over me and not giving me a chance to speak up. So my mom finally said “I need you to stop interrupting my child so I can hear it from her”
I told my side. To which my mom then said “you told her to handle it herself so she did. You had multiple opportunities to stop the situation but told her to stop it herself and she did. She is not at fault and you need to apologize to her.”
There are so many more instances just like this with my other siblings as well.
One of my little brothers is autistic. So at the beginning of the year there are exceptions for him that would be read and signed off on in agreement with the teacher(s).
One of his things is that he cannot write with pencils. The sound and feeling are like nails on a chalk board for him.
So he was allowed to do all class work / homework / and tests in pen. My parents even got him erasable pens.
One day he was doing a class test. And proudly walked his test up to turn in. He was so proud of himself for being one of the first people to finish the test! Because he understood the subject so well.
The teacher looks at the paper. Stands up in front of the class and goes “I prefer things to be filled with pencil and not pen.” And proceeded to rip the test up. In front of everyone.
He of course had a complete melt down.
I think any kid would honestly.
The teacher sends him to the office because he can’t calm down (he wasn’t being violent. Just sad. Crying. Confused.)
My mom shows up. Listens to the teacher as well as him.
She then demanded to speak with the principal.
a few weeks went by and the principal was blatantly ignoring her and not responding.
She had to find a way to get to the school while he was there and request to talk to him.
She finally manages to get ahold of him.
And demands that my little brother be moved to a new classroom and that the teacher apologize to him. In front of the class. (Because she embarrassed him in front of everyone so she should apologize to him in front of everyone.)
She then told them that the teacher isn’t allowed to talk to her son again let alone make eye contact.
She also had the principal pull up the physical paperwork that was signed by that teacher before the school year began. And told her “if you didn’t want him writing in pen you shouldn’t have signed off on the paper agreeing to it.”
The next year the teacher was no longer allowed to teach at that school let alone county.
My mom isn’t a “Karen”
She just wants her kids to have an equal opportunity. To not be bullied by an ADULT in school.
My ‘revenge’ was the best. I never really notice the bullying, I just saw it as rude.
Years later the girl was in a bad car accident and had some change of heart and mind.
I ran into her years after that, she apologized to me for the bullying and my honest to god response was “well, good thing you never mattered.”
I walked away and only realized later how hilarious that came across.
My mom told me, recently, that her high school friend was once invited to a party that didn't exist. She had no idea until she arrived, present and all, and was extremely embaressed in front of her bullies house. Her bully made fun of her for coming to her house at their school. It broke my heart to hear that her friend still gets upset about it every time she thinks about that incident. :/ And that was over 40 years ago.
I worked in a middle school. We had a boy coming to the office crying because kids were bullying him. It took a couple weeks but we found out the “ bullies” were actually his victims who had enough of him. When they were at their lockers he would slam them shut, he would trip them in the hallways, steal their lunch etc. After we found out what was truly happening we gave him detention and he had to personal apologize to each of the kids he bullied.
Once in a while a bully picks on someone they shouldn't have. Sometimes an actually nice person, who prefers to avoid a confrontation... until it goes too far, and they lose their control.
And it is actually scary when a nice person loss it. The rage isn't *just* about what happened on that occasion, but on all the others.
The takeaway? Avoiding a confrontation just prolongs it. The only cure for a bully is to stand up to them.
Sure, the first couple times *both* kids get in trouble... but the adults in charge eventually do notice (no matter how oblivious they are) that the bully is the one common denominator. And one of those victims *might* just hulk the hell out and teach a real lesson.
To this day, 30 years later, I still remember that moment fondly. Cannot even remember their *name*... but the feeling? Priceless.
How my school bullies stopped bullying me: In 8th grade we had a new student come in due to the foster system. She was one of my best friends in the elementary school I went to, and I had no idea if I would ever see her again. That year she killed herself. I was the only person at school who treated her like a friend. Everyone else either ignored her or teased her mercilessly. I told a group of the boys who bullied her that maybe if they hadn't been so mean, she might still be alive and that they may as well had killed her themselves. (I know it's harsh and as an adult now I know there were other things at play in her life). I got called into the office that day because a couple of the boys had been so hurt by what I'd said that they wanted me to apologize and left school early. I told the counselor they brought in as well as the principal that I was never going to apologize, I meant every word I said, and that maybe they SHOULD feel bad.
Everyone was nicer to me the following years and I even got elected Freshman Homecoming attendant.
Good on you! Hopefully those boys took that statement to heart and changed their behavior afterwards!
I have been bullied my whole life, except for grade school. Once pop changed us to, ironically, Catholic school (I was in 4th grade), the bullying started and it hasn't stopped (I'm 55). Back then parents believed in telling their children to ignore it and it would go away. It didn't. My daughter was not going to have the same fate. So in middle school, she and her best friend were bullied by their ex-best friend (male) and they told me. On report card day, parents were encouraged to go speak to teachers and as I was about to park, I saw bully on the corner, talking to some girl. I walked straight to him and asked him if he knew who was bullying my daughter. He turned white and started saying it wasn't him. My answer "good, because that person will not like what I have planned for him. If you know who it is, by all means let them know. Also, let us know so I can talk to the parents AFTER I deal with him myself". Looked him up and down a couple times, scared the girl away, some other words were exchanged and then I went straight to school. I guess he didn't want to find out what I had planned because he never bullied either one of them again. They were embarrassed when I got out of the car but after that, my daughter was never bullied again by anyone. I think it does something to your kid to know that they have you in their corner and they stand up to stupidity before it gets bad. It was not petty. It was effective.
Yes. I'm old, I was bullied in the 90s. My mom was a big believer in "grow thicker skin and get over it". My whole life I've had people think they can step all over me. My daughter was experiencing a bully with a particular girl,( We both went to catholic school as well ). The education is unparalleled. So, I told her that if she gets the chance, to take it. So one day, this girl was talking mad crap on the bus and my daughter stood up as the bus was coming to a stop and she stuck out her fist and punched her. Hard, with all her weight. I was one proud momma. I got called into rhe principals office and we had a talk about what's appropriate, blah blah blah... then i took her to ice cream. I called the monsignor the next day and explained everything, about how this girls whole ass family *down to her damn parents* were picking on just her. And next thing I know there are cameras in the halls and no one told the kids. So, a few days later, this girl complained my daughter was bullying her and said she punched her again, but my kid wasn't even in the building at the time she claimed. This girl clearly hadn't been punched or anything that whole day. They looked over all the footage, and actually found her poking my daughter and getting in her face and pulling her backpack off and stuff... so, the next week comes and what do you know? The girl is gone, and her family moved, and the rest of the family (dad was an emcee for the church, and mom led Bible study and bake sales) had quit volunteering and were kicked out of the church. I guess they really do take the zero tolerance to heart now. Which I'm so grateful for. It made it so my daughters last few years in our church's school, much easier and, better mentally, for my baby girl.
So I was bullied for all but my last two years of school; it got so bad that I was sent away to a special school for high risk youth. Once you spend a year with kids that should probably be in juvie, you change. Cue me returning to public school the next year, having to repeat a year, and coming back very VERY different from the shy, emotional kid that everyone used to pick on. I grew half a foot, I got bigger and I got much meaner looking; more importantly I grew a spine because the special school had kids that made my old bullies look like kewpie dolls.
The old bullies immediately recognized me and wasted no time laying into me only to find out that I bit back. They were spreading nasty rumors about me and muttering behind my back so I walked up and told them to 'Say it to my face'.
Didn't yell. Didn't threaten. Just stated it.
They nervous laughed and tried to pull the whole 'omg it's a joke' card.
Simply stated: 'I'm not laughing. Say it to my face, maybe I'll laugh.'
Engaged full 'fuck about and find out' energy.
They slunk away. Not a word said. No apology. Didn't need one; just seeing the way they tucked tail at being confronted was good enough.
After that I didn't just put them in their place about bullying me, I went after them any time I knew they were pulling garbage on anyone; got a reputation as being a psycho, but it was worth it af.
Bonus: All of them are miserable now. Bad life decisions paid them a visit and I never had to do much more than look scary and wait for karma to take care of the rest.
Sometimes all you need is a good resting bitch face and the will to confront people who bully you; it may not always work, but boy howdy do a lot of them back off when you offer resistance.
I had a few who bullied me in highschool, then in college I became an event promoter and put on shows in my spare times. The three of them showed up at an event and were fawning over me since I was talking to the artists and had a bunch of people orbiting me that night. I wasn’t an ahole and just was kind, but it gave me a real nice “big ego” feeling having my hs bullies acting like that. Unfortunately they didn’t say sorry, but I also didn’t bring it up and tried to have a bit of grace. That made me feel better than revenge would have I think.
I wasn't overtly bullied in high school, but I was largely ignored, which was kind of okay since I'm an introvert and was going through a lot at home. Just a small group of friends. Boys were uninterested. One day a teacher was making a point about bullying and told the story of a girl he went to school with who also struggled socially. He said the "ugly duckling" showed up to their class reunion looking drop-dead gorgeous and all the guys had to eat their hearts out. I will never forget the wisdom and kindness of the teacher that day. He planted a little seed of hope that all this crap will get better. And it turns out that I was just a late bloomer. 😊🌺
Me and my friends were bullied in secondary by another girl. It went on for 3 years and towards the end got to the point where she was threatening to kill us everyday. The school refused to do anything saying she had her own problems. So we ended up going to the police with all the evidence we had of the bulling and almost got her arrested and charged with harassment. Haven’t seen or spoken to her since.
In high school freshman and sophomore years my bully always sat behind me any chance he could to hit me in the back of the head. I put up with it for those 2 years... junior year, the first time he hit me, I stood up, spun around and hit him in the head with the desk/chair combo schools use... he avoided me after that. Violence is not always the answer, but sometimes it is the perfect answer. I did get a week of in school suspension, but to stop getting bullied it was totally worth it.
To my bullies: you enhanced my anxiety and depression and I still struggle with them today. So thanks for that. My parents weren't able to do anything about it because they just couldn't and they believed I just didn't wanna fit in. I almost didn't survive that time and the only way I physically got away from that was by moving (because my mom's job transferred her, not because they wanted me away from the situation).
I only told my father last year that I nearly took my own life on two occasions when I was seventeen because of what my classmates did to me. To this day I don't know what kind of revenge I could have taken against them. So seeing these people getting revenge on their bullies was cathartic. Thank you for sharing this with us! ♥
How dare those so called feral creatures of a human treat you in this manner. I do wonder what teachers receive during their degree training about bullies etc obviously not much. I was always a bit big and had issues from my narcissistic mother she was the bully but living in another country means I can avoid her. Take care and love your life 🌺
I'm so sorry. Wishing you peace and love. 💙
Offer your bullies chocolate laxatives. They'll be too busy elsewhere to bother you.
My biggest bully was my brother. I was 7 years younger and I had him behind my ass all the time, both passive and open aggression. He is still the same just not showing his true colours publicly. I am almost 50 and I struggled a lot. When you grow up constantly looking over your shoulder it doesn´t help much...Growing into a person with reasonable self-esteem is next to impossible.
You’re worth far more than you’ll ever know, thanks for bravely telling your story. All the best.❤
My bil went up to his son's bully and said, "Listen, I heard rumours that my kid is being bullied. You are such a big strong lad, could you watch out for him?" The dude took this task of honour VERY seriously. He stopped bullying my nephew and roughed up anyone who tried for the rest of the school years.
That is... unconventional but its kinda brilliant. A kid with the desire to harm people can easily be persuaded into acting as a vigilante or guard.
