I had a little problem being picked on in grade school. Nothing to crazy or harsh. Run of the mill type stuff. I have always been on the large side so that welcomed comments here and there. I was an only child so it took me a long time to adjust being in elementry school. I was used to spending time with adults so I was very laid back. It took a while to get used to kids acting like kids. I don't think I was really comfortable in that aspect until middle school.

In highschool I had no problems whatsoever. I had a blast in high school...

WTF is your problem noob? Drop this schtick now or I'll turn bully again.

TheNextStep · 03-16-2005, 09:30 PM

I moved an awful lot as a military brat, so going from "picked on" to "popular" was easy, compared to somebody who grew up in one town all their life - every time you moved, it was a "do-over."

In grade school, I don't even recall any of us being aware of bullies. We were all just a bunch of kids.

In middle school, I was picked on.

In high school, I was popular but didn't go for that bullying crap because I'd been on the receiving end in middle school. At that point, I became the guy that would say, "Hey, asshole, why don't you leave that kid alone?"

**J Diddy** · 03-16-2005, 09:33 PM

Nope, my best friends in high school were huge. I had no problem in high school.

LiL stumppy · 03-16-2005, 09:42 PM

Im not the bully,I have alot of friends but I dont pick on people.Sure I say a few things to the mouthy "nerds" but nothing to bad.And I never ever or never ever wll be picked on.

Inspector · 03-16-2005, 09:59 PM

Mastashake · 03-16-2005, 10:58 PM

I was a long-haired hippie in a country school full of cowboys...

But once I cut my hair and started wearing tennis shoes everyone was a lot nicer to me!

The moral of this story, conform or be an outcast...

Thanks, Geddy!

I was the oldest of alot of cousins......a rowdy group of youngsters with some "fight in the bloodlines".

Until 3rd grade I never noticed much...but around then, I was a smaller kid, got glasses...the thick poor farmboy glasses. At the same time, both of my mother's parents got cancer, so the folks were gone, and Busy. It was also the time that the farm and realestate economy really turned to shit. Small kid, neglected haircut.....broken, taped goggles, duct taped shoe...............You do the math.

I had a really good friend who was big and tough.....but he'd moved that year. One day I snapped. I found out that between wrestling, and some inner Rage thing......I was pretty good at that fighting thing. I made a pact with myself, after my dad had given me the "don't start a fight, but if someone is bullying you, throw the first punch and fight to win".

I did alot of fighting over the next couple of years. Rarely was it really tough kids...Just kids who were a little bigger.

I developed a really protective streak for my siblings and cousins(though we fought)...by HS, Family asked me to Take care of problems with others bullying family.

I never picked on the kids that everyone else did, and usually tried to be nice.......but sometimes, they'd end up stealing or something.

In Jr High-HS there were some guys in the class above mine that were just Raging Pricks when they were together(4-5) and they were actually pretty big and tough. I had some trouble with them that I couldn't do a whole lot about.

I did some fighting even through college and it almost always, without fail, had to do with some asshole, who was "just enough bigger" to want to clown me.

By then, my younger brother was old enough, and truthfully, a better fighter on his feet with a worse temper. Now, its outgrown its usefullness for the most part. I quickly learned that I could count on my brothers if things got ugly. You can't always count on your buddies I found.

My youngest brother, who is now airborne, in 7th grade had a Really big Sr punching him and his friends around........my brother and I ran into him one night, and with a little mild pursuasion....He appologized to all of those boys the next day.
I punched a crazy fugger who stopped me on the hwy in the boonies in the night 3-4 years ago, and about did last year before the superbowl, with some 23 year old, spiked hair "i'm bigger than you" punk.

Maturity started telling me to walk away around 25, because I knew I didn't have to prove anything......For a long time, I didn't think I had a choice......I suppose it was that "little man complex" or whatever. I have no desire for that crap anymore.

In short..........I was bullied some, but I figured out how to stop it, though I never really considered myself a "bad man". Its the willingness to risk a beating, to end bullshit. When you're getting Bullied........It doesn't really hurt that much more to just have the fight, throw the first one hard.

Interstingly enough, the last time my youngest Bro was back........He mentioned that if he ever runs into his tormentor, he's going to smack his ass up...and he will.
