If me, along with 31 other classmates of mine can go through bigger problems than insults, I think all children in the world generally could.

The sad truth is, 1 teenager in the US alone takes their own life every week just because they were bullied over and over and over again. Only some people can just wipe it off their sleeve, most people take it on a more personal level over time.

Today I got bullied, which is a first for me. I was walking with my girlfriend and a group of 5 African-American's through a bottle of juice at me and my girlfriend. It didn't hit us but the cap of the bottle fell off and we got kind of wet with the juice. I turned around and all of them stayed starring at me and one of them yelled "say something!" and others were saying "come on do something!" I thought of say something but I knew all of them would jump on me and what are the odds of me taking on 5 people, i'm no Chuck Norris. I can't stand people who only say and do stuff when they're in a group, but when it's just them by themselves they don't do nothing.

For some reason I stopped reading after that point...

Anywho

That's pretty much kids everywhere. When they're in groups with their friends, they don't really care about manners and stuff like that. They insult, yell, become violent. I never did understand why. I was always the same, in a group or not. Meh, I don't really know.

because being part of a group builds confidence and also provides more protection. you are naturally more safe (or at least feel that way) when with a group of people (you trust).

it works a different way too... if all of them yell and are violent you feel the preseare (ugh cant spell this one) to be the same unfortunately.

You're actually lucky they didn't get annoyed that you didn't say something since that's what usually happens.

What I've always thought about it is it's mob mentality and that when one person has an idea and everyone else kindof thinks it's a good idea then the fact that the rest of the group thinks it's a good idea (even if they're a bit unsure) then it increases your thought that it's a good idea and you prolly end up doing it.

I'm lucky since I've never been able to feel peer pressure so when that happens I'm usually the one keeping my distance from them and looking for cops.

im lucky too since i never really had friends that acted this way. i guess all of my friends are different/special/weird one way ot another.

I was bullied when I was younger, and for me it helped to just let the bully pick on me, without reacting. But if he punches me, I hit him back. I promised my parents I wouldn't start a fight, but I sure will end it. Since I was bullied, I will not stand for it and if anyone picks on my younger sibs I make them regret it. No one messes with my family. Bullying is wrong and more needs to be done about it. Teachers tell the kids to report it, but it isn't. Mainly because the kids are scared, but it needs to be reported. Sometimes teachers don't do enough about it though and that sucks.

Reporting anything short of murder or serious vandalism to a teacher is idiotic. You're hardly helping yourself, more people will dislike you for telling on whatever. I remember growing up, there was a kid in class, weak little thing. Everyone liked him the first month of school, then he started telling on stupid little things. A teacher loses chalk, he just snaps in a millisecond and points a finger to the "thief". Same would be with complaining about bullying. Let's take a class of 30. In that class, there's 1 bully, and 1 being bullied. The 28 other students have been bullied, but pay hardly any attention to bullies, so they don't really care. The one that is affected by bullying more than everyone else tells on the bully. Everyone dislikes him because he told on something everyone else has been through already.

I have to say that I agree. At least where I come from, you need to be able to handle the situation you're in on your own. For some odd reason getting a teaching involved in problems between students only gets the students mad at you. THe reason kids are scared to report bullying is because they know they be rejected for it (unless they're young small girls, beacuse seriously, nobody ignores that).

True. Thank you for that insight.
