Questions: Dealing With Bullies


Prince Imrahil

386 views

There has been a rash of students killing themselves after being beaten down (both mentally and physically) by bullies in school. Most of these suicides were LGBT (or perceived to be LGBT) students, which is why they were targeted. My question to you all is how did you deal with bullies when you were a kid (whether you're LGBT or not)?

Wow, this is sorta humbling reading this stuff. I had to google your initials there to see what it stood for, guess I'm a bit behind the times. I went to school in the 80's/90's, so didn't have the social networks as well. I hung out with everyone, jocks/"nerds"/band kids etc. I never had to worry about the bullying thing, that may have been in part though, due to the fact that I have 2 older brothers, and we are each spaced 2 yrs from each other, when we were kids, if you fought 1 of us, you fought all 3 of us, lol. I always was the guy who broke up the "bully" fights though. I hated seeing bigger kids trying to act tough by picking on smaller kids. If more of todays kids would stick up for each other, I think this problem wouldn't be so rampid. Don't look to the teachers though. Any of the adults that are on here can tell you that cliques exist in the adult realm just as much as the teenage realm. There are just different requirements such as wages per year, yacht clubs, golf clubs, etc. I guess I got lucky growing up an Army brat, moving around, I never felt the need to conform to any 1 set of social standards, figured I wouldn't be there more than a year or 2 at most anyway, lol.
