Was there bullying at your high school?

[-King-]

There's obviously a lot of bully talk the past few months and it's only going to increase after yesterday. So I was trying to think back to my high school days to remember if there was bullying and I honestly don't remember any. Obviously there were fights and people called each other names, but as far as real bullying? Not that I can think of. There were no jocks who just ganged up on nerds. There weren't groups of people who beat up and constantly harassed one kid everyday. None of the stuff you always hear and read about in the media these days.

I can't even think how bullying would have happened at my school. During passing period, there would usually be a few teachers standing at their door just monitoring the hallway so kids wouldn't get picked on there. Hell, there was a gay guy who wore lipstick and lip gloss to school and as long as he didn't hit on any guys, no one gave 2 shits enough to bully him.

I don't know, I may have just been oblivious to it all but I just don't think it happened in my school.

I called her a hoe and told her to stfu then she slapped me. That was all it took. I gave her a right-hook, swept her leg, then pushed her down. When she hit the ground, I started pounding her with my fists. It took the principal and a few teachers to pull me off of her.

I believe she got 1 or 2 weeks suspension. I was back in a few days though because she threw the first punch, plus I had told teachers what was going on prior to the incident. After she returned, she followed me home one day and put a knife to my throat. When my parents heard about that, they pulled me out of that school. Never saw her or the other girls again. Problem was solved.

Truth be told, I had taken quite a few lumps over the years from her. She just caught me on a really bad day and I unleashed.

I'm really quite sweet. Honest.

Sorting sticks are pretty sorry weapons. Hot shots are more effective.

Hell, it looks like even Mo took some shit if that puts things in perspective. Part of growing up.

I grew up Air Force so I changed schools every 1-3 years. When I was in grade school, I dealt with a little bullying, nothing too bad. Then I started high school. I was a short, chubby freshman and I was the new kid. The bigger guys used to bully me a bit, nothing really severe but I got embarrassed quite a bit.
Well, then summer vacation came. I started running and lifting weights. I grew about 4 inches in 3 months too. Next thing you know, I'm 5'10 and 185. All muscle and I was a fast son bitch. My first day I went to gym class and behold, there's my bully.
I walked up to him and I towered over the dip shit. His eyes were like saucers.
"Hey, what's up?"
Next thing he knew, he's got a black eye and he's stuffed in his locker.
That was the only bullying I ever did. A few weeks later he came up to me and said he deserved it and we ended up friends.

I changed schools again and went to a school outside of East St. Louis. It was a predominantly black school so I made friends with the biggest, blackest dude I could find. I never got ****ed with, especially after I made the Varsity FB team as a Full Back and back up ILB.

It was funny though, after I shot up in size and packed on some muscle, I made friends with some of the dorkiest nerds because I knew what they were going through. Nobody ever messed with them after that. I think I did that at three different High Schools.

I wonder if bullying is more prominent in small schools as opposed to bigger schools?

That's how it works out a lot.

I met up with one of the guys who used to torture me in middle school while pumping gas a couple years ago and he was a mean relentless prick. Looked him right in the eye and shook his hand. He looked like he just walked in on his grandma naked working over a vibrator.

Those little twerps from middle school grow up and learn to brawl. Probably partially at least due to being pushed around earlier in life.

Keep that in mind wanna be bullies.

With stories like this it is no wonder why Lumpy fell for you!

All the girls want you.....all the boys want to be you.

Except for one really big black guy in East St. Louis who wanted to marry you.

I went to the same school for elementary, middle and high school. Small Montana school, 30 kids in my graduating class. I was one of the popular kids and there really weren't clicks since the school was so small. My friends and I always stood up for any kids getting bullied. We even had lunch sometimes with the down syndrome kid or the highly autistic child. I grew up with kids who lived in houses made of mud and straw, poor as dirt. My friends and I always made sure these kids weren't being picked on. I am proud to say I went to school with many people with extremely big hearts. Middle and high school kids who seemed to get the bigger picture. If you didn't like someone you just didn't talk to them, you didn't have to say mean things to them.

There was bullying in my elementary school

There was bullying in my intermediate school

There was bullying in my high school

We were 99% white kids but that is how school is. Sometimes I was the bully when I was at the older age and then there were times like when I was a freshman that I was bullied.

That is life.....seems like you can't yell at a kid today without a lawsuit, a bunch of detention, and someone like the ACLU jumping in.

Most kids today are big soft wimpy pussies and no one is going to convince me otherwise.

Think so. My high school had averaged about 1200 students my 4 years.
