Bullying

I don't like the other guy who joins in after the boy began telling his story. His remarks feel like he is making fun of the boy instead of really listening. :/ 

Dang that sucks. It's also easier for me to talk to my own gender. I'm asexual so I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea, and I hate embarassing situations and drama.

I'm sorry that happened to you :/ I just can't believe some people honestly. 

Yea people suck like that. I usually just deal with it and move on cause I know I'm probably not the worse case out there. Like there was a guy that acts "gay" and was gay but hasn't said anything about it. The locker room situation for him was terrible. They shove him into the metal lockers a lot. Take his clothes and throw them away to the other side or on top of lockers. Someone would take em and hide em, spit on his clothes etc. etc.. Like it wasn't bad enough for me to call the police but damn. Honestly, I have too many stories about any situation cause my highschool sucked. Some people were even gang-related. It's so bad that there may or may not be an article and may or may not have been on the news where my school may or may not have had a grade fixing scandal.
And hating embarrassing situations? You can repeat that again. I hate it when I'm in the spotlight like why is everyone staring at me I hate this. This doesn't just end with me either. Second hand embarrassment hurts me as well. Like why, why are you doing this stop it can't you see the situation it's hurting me as much as it's hurting you. 

Bullying can be in any form, even if the school already take some precaution, the one who bullying always find a way to attack someone, (children can always be creative, especially if they got to much time).

For example in my school, the form of bullying there is more targeted for mental rather than physical, cuz the school has a harsh punishment for a fight no matter how minor it is.

That why they just like insulting, leaving out someone out of group class chat(so they don't have any info about homework or assignment), etc.
the tragic one that happen in my school is (IMO) is there's this one guy with slightly better grades at school, he poor so he can't hangout with other (mostly cuz no pocket money etc) and no one really like that, so he almost had no friends. And the school is one of the elite school in the city so the student there can get direct invitation to university taking no exam, with the tuition having a discount(of course if you have good grade) and of course there always quota each course (if somebody take the same course they say the one one who had better grade get picked, but history say its not always like that so it's a mystery how they choose someone). And of course the day the school announce who eligible to have that direct invite, everyone who eligible make promise to announce what course they pick so no one pick the same, and this poor guy already announce what course will he pick but after some time someone pick that course and say sorry that they picked it (at this point it already too late to change) and say it his fault to not join the group chat for confirming his pick(while he himself don't know that group chat even exist), do note that when you pick a course you can see if someone already pick it before so they definitely knew he already pick it 1st.

And of course he didn't get chosen he has bad luck, because taking exam and pay the tuition in full is not even an option for him, he had to give up to go University entirely. (Cuz he poor)

I got some verbal bullying growing up, but it didn't do much. The worst was the popular guy tormenting me by being... Handsy. I tried really hard to get him to back off but he seemed to think "no means yes". I had to bring my parents in to deal with him.  Maybe it's a girl thing, but physical violence was rare. It was usually physiological.

Weirdly, the most violent bullying I got was the pre-teen years. Kicked and punched, that all happened as kid. It seems like I was a pushover at that age and that made me an easy target. Children, yikes...

I hate bullying and as a teenager never tolerated it. If someone was being bullied I did my best to stop it or at least wedge myself in there to give the victim a chance to leave. I didn't want the person being bullied feeling like no one cared. That sense of helplessness, of thinking you're unlovable to the point that you can be publically tormented and no one cares.. I didn't want anyone thinking that way when I was around. Even if I couldn't stop it completely, I hoped to be supportive enough that they realized they had value.

Thinking about it, not many people were like me. It seemed like my peers had a sort of "that's just the way it is" attitude. Since it didn't involve them they didn't care to exert the effort to stop it or they were scared of being targeted themselves so they stayed quiet. Sometimes I suspected the watchers were "spectator bullies": they wouldn't do the deed, but they thought the victim deserved it or it was fun to watch.

I was a weird kid though. I didn't want to be accepted and popular among my peers. I thought they were mean and stupid, so if they didn't like me I figured I was doing something right. And the teachers were going to be bias no matter what, so who cared about 'em? Which means I could interfer with bullies and come out the winner in most cases.

But my parents had my back. They believed in the kid they raised and understood me as a person (they wouldn't believe lies from me or others). I was protected where it mattered so I could be bold.

Most kids don't have that. 

You probably won't, college is far better since everyone just minds their own business. Or if your working it's probably with adults that are above drama(hopefully). There will definitely be an occasional ass hole here and there tho. Other than my social life having no female friends(I've basically given up). I think I'm doing fine on luck. Excluding all the group projects and tests I'm going through.  No crazy but nothing interesting. Just bidding my time reading all the novels I find interesting. 

Bullying does happen quite a lot, I don't know if it is to the extent of as novels, but plenty of people I know have been bullied pretty badly. One person I know had his face stuck into the toilet or other times pushed into the bushes.

So is the severity of the bullying in novels real? Probably, though the only difference is that novel bullying make it out to be like bullies have no life other than bullying the MC, that isn't the case. Often time bullying is triggered when the bullies are in a group and the crowd mentality triggers them to take it out on the poor sap who happens to be there.

Otherwise, most of the time the bullies wouldn't even pay much attention to the person they bully.

Actually, I was also technically bullied in school, but not often since well, I didn't care. So they lost interest pretty quickly. That and they kind of knew I let them get away with it cause I was stronger then them.

The only time I remember being bullied/seeing bullying on an almost daily basis is in karate, but that is mostly because we were in a locked up changing room and there is this whole "pecking order" in karate. So it'll be like upper classmen would bully the mid classman and lower classmen by punching them out till they squeel, but on days upper classman is away, mid classman bullied the lower classman. Kind of like a cycle. Of course when I became an upper classman I didn't bully anyone, not because I'm so virtues, I was just too lazy. 

I was never really a gossipy person, and stayed away from toxic people. I played up the quiet shy girl and made people feel bad for bullying me. Did I get bullied? Ehhh, a little, but I was a cringy little kid. Name calling, laughing behind backs- that kind of thing. I don't really think any of those kids were bad people though...they stopped if I ignored them or just silently stared at them. Once I laughed when someone called me a nerd because- lol really, that's so cliche...nerd's not an insult.

Unfortunately, I have seen worse bullying to other people. It's worse for guys I think, physically at least. Girl's might get it worse with shunning, name calling, and gossip, but this one guy told me some guys tried to kick down the door in his stall when he was in the restroom. Like, who does that?!

There was this other girl who transferred from a special ed class who got bullied because people said she was dumb....hehe, she beat them up though. Got suspended a couple times, but she was just shunned afterward.

I never hung out with the crowd that did it, and I'm naturally shy and reserved when I don't know people irl. These are just excuses for why I didn't intervene though. I never mistreated her, and I tried to get along with her the few times we talked...which was only once haha...I carry a bit of guilt still..

I rarely saw violence honestly, but I also actively avoided it. My cousin says it happens all the time, and the stories she tells...sigh, I'm just glad she's really intimidating, charismatic, and has loyal friends to back her up. She really can't stand bullying, and stops it when she sees it *admiration*. 

Mostly name calling, fighting, teasing and some extortion but most end up in fighting in my school. Its mostly ignored unless someone bleeds or the commotion got too big. Since it does help children stand up for themselves and take things with a grain of salt.

I suppose extremes does happem somewhere but dont know much about that.

Im still calling crazy when someone made an advertisement about bullies are the victim and we shouldn't blame them. That was a balloon floating in a needed cage if you ask me. 

Well, kids are a victim of their living situation. It could be their parents treat them like that so they emulate it. Or it could be they are used to being kicked around and want to be the other party for once...or they could be taking their repressed feelings out on you. Tons of reasons, the world isn't black and white. Sometimes it is just because it makes them feel powerful or they're sociopathic, but I think that's rare. It doesn't excuse it by any means, and it sucks when you start sympathizing or empathizing with them.

This actually happens fairly often in light novels because the MC transmigrates into a villains body. 

Yea that happened to me the first time I used the bathroom in school so I never used it again. The repeated kicking on the stall gave me a heart attack man. That's why I try to never use public restrooms now. Even if someone knocks on the door to ask if someone is in it, gives me anxiety.
I think it might be worse for guys though if I stared back at them while they are doing something to me. Some goons confronted me in the hallway once by blocking my path and just started talking so much shit and I was just staring at him. Probably a bad move cause he punched me at my chin and then pushed me down.*blahblahblah* After that, I couldn't really look at people in the eye anymore. If you ever saw me irl you'll never see me looking at your eyes. I'll look everywhere else if it's the table or the sky w/e it takes.
This probably made my social skills even worse tbh. I don't have any female friends so I literally can't talk to any girls. And if I do have to talk to girls I ain't looking at them in the eyes I usually keep my head down. And hey guess what? Girls kinda don't want guys looking down on their chests.
