"Oh no, now you're BOTH in the wrong ;^) "
This happened to me when I first went to a public school for 2nd grade, and it profoundly changed something in me. I guess everyone has to go through a "life isn't fair" moment, but this was coming from the same people who taught about fairness and trust, not just dropping my lollipop in the sand.
The trick is to retaliate off school grounds and in such a way that it cant be traced back to you.
I have a different perspective.
Let it be traced back to you. But beat the shit out of the bully so badly that no one dares try to pick a fight with you again.
If you're getting in trouble regardless, you may as well make an example.
I can confirm this.lol i'm glad that's a common action. wouldn't call him 'my' bully, but the one asshole kid that liked to fuck with everyone tried to jump me in the locker room in middle school and i tossed him into a locker. had three other people there pull me off him.
Slammed my bullies head into a locker. He never messed with me again nor did anyone else.
In my case it was 2 weeks for the both of us.at that point they might as well just expel you.
Not gonna lie, I cried when it happened.
Reminds me of that "Weirdos" web series. Honestly I'll never be able to understand why so many teachers are unable to identify which students are being bullied. Like you've got this unattractive, overweight, socially awkward kid and they get into a confrontation with some rich attractive kid in designer clothes...why you always siding with the rich attractive kid in designer clothes when 99.999999% of the time they are the bully?
why you always siding with the rich (...) kid (...)Can you really not think of any reasons why?
Kid: Parent/guardian!1!*laugh track*
Adult: Not now!!!
Kid: Parent/guardian!1!
Adult: Not. NOW!
Kid: But-
Adult: -NOTHING!
*later*
Adult: Why didnt you tell me the cat got out/car rolled down the hill into traffic/my hair was on fire?!
When I was in elementary school I would bring my x-men action figures in to show my friends/play with. One day an older kid came over and started asking to play with one of them, and then asked if he could borrow it. He was older, and I was scared of him so I said yes. The next day he came up and just asked to take one. I thought he meant just to play with and so I gave it to him. He went home with it.
The next day I didn't bring any in, and when he came up to me he asked where they were. I said I didn't bring any in, and he told me I'd better bring one in the next day or else.
I told my mom about it that night and how I had to bring in another toy. She came in and talked to the principle and tried to get my toys back from this bully. The Principle told her that I needed to learn a lesson about not giving my things away. He wanted to let the bully keep them.
They're always on the bully's side.
Zero tolerance was a huge mistake.
This made me remember something from way back.WTF
Some jerk slammed my hand in my locker while walking by. I called him a jerk for doing so. We both got in equal amounts of trouble (think sent to the office or something).
School sucks alright.
WTFWTF indeed. It happened during Middle School. Thankfully a lot of the finer details I can't remember now.
My 5th grade bully made school hell on a regular basis. I was good friends with his little brother, though. Then one day, his little brother came up to me and said that his brother died over the weekend after getting hit by a car.
My response was an extremely plain, "OK."
He looked at me weirdly and just walked away. We weren't really close after that ever again.
5th grade got way better after that.
How old was the kid and what did he do to you? Usually at that age theres something going on at home or somewhere that makes them act out. Not always, but often.
My trick was being bigger and stronger than them.
My trick was being bigger and stronger than them.I also had height on my side. I notice a lot of the smaller guys got it much worse.
I was a very short kid for most of my childhood. My mom is 5'3" and my dad was 5'2" on a good day, so I figured I was going to be short just like them. I grew from 4'11" to 5'11" in high school, though. Once that happened, people didn't mess with me any more.
I also had height on my side. I notice a lot of the smaller guys got it much worse.Yeah, thats why I would always step in when I saw it happening, suddenly they stopped when they knew someone their own size would be willing to step up to them. I still got a lot of verbal shit, but it would stop when I started moving in their direction.
My trick was being bigger and stronger than them.My trick was ratting out my bully to the school administration every chance I got, even for the slightest thing. And he eventually got kicked out of school.
lol i'm glad that's a common action. wouldn't call him 'my' bully, but the one asshole kid that liked to fuck with everyone tried to jump me in the locker room in middle school and i tossed him into a locker. had three other people there pull me off him.
best thing is that he never stopped fucking with other people and eventually he got jumped at his bus stop. nobody fessed up to who did it and everyone insisted that he just tripped and fell.
