akar, srsly. I'm past the point of amusement of hearing abut how you are this badass cool-calm streetfighter. I wish you lived in Florida so I could beat some reality into you.

Oh I'm sure people could, I'm not a cool-calm street fighter. Many people could win against me. But they aren't walking away scratch free.

wow@matt being the only honest person on sen.

Something I wrote in 9th grade on bullying:

==============================================

Meet Billy, Billy is a little 8 year old boy, who is picked on and humiliated everyday by Roger, a bully that attends his school. Let's discuss Billy’s hopeless situation. Some would say he should just tell, but is it really that simple? There are some things Billy should not even consider. Most kids feel the overwhelming power in a tool to be the only way out.

Billy is a relatively shy boy who attends a public school. He does not bother anyone and maintains good grades. He has some friends, but he is still looked upon as a loner. There is another boy at school. His name is Roger. One day, Roger was bored. He decided to pick on Billy the rest of the day. Billy was small and skinny so he could not defend himself against the larger Roger. Roger would call Billy ‘stick boy’ while Billy hung out with his friends. His friends started referring to Billy as stick boy from then on. Roger throws spit balls and slaps Billy in the back of the head during class. When the teacher does rarely catch Roger in the act he either yells at Roger and Billy, or he purposely ignores it. In just one day Billy’s world has been turned upside down. It did not just end in that one day, no, it turns into an every-other-day ritual leaving Billy with very few options to consider.

Billy arrives home everyday with an illusory good attitude and a smile worn as a disguise. He tells his family that his day was good, but sometimes snaps if they try to dig any deeper. On one particularly bad day, he almost caves in, but what stops him is knowing what the consequences will be. If he does decide to tell the first thing he will get is a lecture on why he should have came to them sooner. He will then go through a grueling questioning of what exactly happened. He will strangely have trouble recalling what happened all those times. Roger will be talking calmly, collectively, and lying through his teeth. The administrator will equally punish them with a day of detention. All that crap he had to put up with comes down to a day of detention. It is enough to make a kid go insane. It is far from over though. When he goes to school the next day, everyone will make fun of him for being a ‘Tattle Tale’, and worst of all is that in a week the bullying process will start right back up again. This is what keeps Billy from telling. That is what keeps him from caving in. There has to be a better option than this.

There are some choices that are too dumb to even consider. Billy knows the two things he will never to do in this situation: Suicide and nothing. By killing himself nothing is accomplished. People will remember him, but no one will be grieving other than his family. It is a stupid choice if you are going for broke any ways. Would you not rather go out with a bang? Roger would eventually start tormenting another and all will be lost. Another thing he will not do any longer is nothing. Something has to be done, and Billy is not getting any where by just waiting.

Billy is left with the last option he could come up with. This option is a means of revenge. He is tired of being the push over. He wants to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with. He is going to make Roger and everyone else pay with a tool the size of his scrawny fist. The pushing, the beating, the words, and the laughing, most of all, the laughing will stop. In the end, Billy will be towering menacingly tall over Roger. Roger will be the one crying this time begging for mercy, and in an instant the score has been settled. He will not kill himself though, instead he will take a 10 year sentence. After that he might reflect on himself to see if the 10 years was worth the life of a boy, but with a memory dangling in his mind he remembers “This was my only choice?”

Sadly, many young boys and maybe girls have had the thought of a gun as a form of salvation in one way or another. Something has to be done in order to give Billy another choice. In Billy’s hopeless situation, some would say he should just tell, but is it really that simple? There are some things Billy should not even consider. Most kids feel the overwhelming power in a tool to be the only way out.
=====================================================

Haha great story. Especially the part about where he could of snitched. Cause anyone who snitches will be looked down upon the school and will get their ass kicked also.

Anyways in my opinion is that billy should of took matters into his own hands because being a coward is also wrong. The best thing billy could of done was sneak up behind rodger and punch him in the nuts.

Just because you can bully someone doesn't mean you should. In school there's really no point in it.

Whats wrong with bullying. Its the only way to get up the social ladder or people will think your weak. And plus its sets a good example for the police because when a school shooting begins the police know it was because of bullying.
That's the dumbest shit you've ever posted.
I don't considered how thats a shit of a post (well the police part was sort of dumb because i was relating it to something else). Isnt it true that how most people get up the social ladder is because they prove that they are strong and not weak. It's apart of growing up. You can't stop bullying or prevent it. In fact now a days all the super authorities (such as principals, superintendent,head masters ect) are making it worse. There the ones who bring up propaganda like films/ads almost encouraging kids to hurt each other not preventing it.

Even the Canadian Broadcast Board has a reference of what I said and this is what they use in most of their answers to people who complain on bullying on T.V.

Individuals are ‘teased’ for a multitude of reasons. They end up with nicknames they dislike. This is all part of growing up in our society.

It's a bad post because it sounds like a 10 year old wrote it. One of those kids who pretends they're the bomb. To be honest, the only reason I'm writing this is to warn you that all your posts sound like they are written by a 10 year old. But you were right on the "can't stop it" part. I would like to add that fights are normal, but when a kid is physically hurt for no reason; the "bully" is dumber than a monkey. It's really sad to think about though, that someone could be so cruel to hurt someone for no reason.

Wow, he is wrong, bullying can easily be stopped. It is a matter of getting people to use their brain.

Not saying it would but everyone under one idealogy would have all the worlds problems go away.

That doesnt make any sense. Maybe I should now explain my posts better. In my case what I believe would be a good idealogy is if everyone believed in good. Say 1 person told everyone to "be good". Now thats stuck in their heads meaning they must live with being good. In the process they would dispel things of before that were wrong like "bullying". No one would bully each other because it would not be considered "good". Understand?

I would have cut that post down to "Maybe I should explain my posts better." Everything else in it is just ludicrous.

all you gotta do is beat the bullies mentally. find something they hate about themselves and use it against them.
guarantee you they will leave you alone

oh and btw to the guy who said
"you play Starcraft how buff can you be"
playing games doesnt mean you cant beat the shit out of people
its just something that interests you.

Bullying is hillarious, it according to most, happens all the time, when like, if somebody insults somebody in one of my classes, we all laugh, that means it's funny right? You're not supposed to get emo about it or even try to retaliate, you laugh it off, see sometimes people dont actually like you, and if you just accept that though they're making fun of you, it's humerous at the same time, then you're fine, don't try to speak to them on a level of intelligence or even try to speak to them on a level of humour, they may not like you and you may get actually insulted, just accept that you're not good enough, and that it's funny that everyone is laughing at you and not with you.

Hold on a second, you expect me to believe that someone that plays starcraft and posts on sen can do that? Oh yeah... I totaly believe you :).
I don't ask you to.
Stereotypes are lame. No body understands what a diverse/free thinker I am. I didn't know it was wrong to pursue video game interests while training MMA.
I don't play sc anymore. That stopped a while ago. I'm here when I'm bored.

And I would let you hit me in the jaw, we'll see what happens to your hand. I also know to automatically go for soft spots; diaphram and neck.

If you are impling what I think you are that is called fighting dirty, and you will jumped for it. Some kid at my school fought dirty and got his ass jumped by 5 kids for it, so it's always best to keep it clean for your own good.

If you are wondering he kept trying to take out the other kid's eyes and go for his knees, you don't pull shit like that unless it's a life and death situation.

"When will it stop"
Never.
That's the grim reality.

-----THINK OF THESE AS SEPERATE POSTS-----

You guys are perpetuating this, sharing fighting tactics, saying ways to stop a bully.
And I'm not saying I'm perfect, believe me, there are several people in the world [whom I know personally] who I would gladly kick in the teeth.

I hate the whole bullying thing, but it isn't going to end.
You can stop some bullies [Many are all tallk and no bite] from bothering you. Just smack them in the face in front of all their friends. Sure, you may get beaten up for it. But it really is worth it, if only for your ego.

See what I'm doing? I'm contradicting my whole post. But this gets me real angry. Real angry. :flamer:
