So yesterday I was talking about this subject with some friends, and I thought of creating a topic to discuss "bullying".
For those who don't know what is bullying please visit this link
So:
What do you think of it? And why.
Have you been bullied? Share your stories (if you want too)
What would you do to stop bullying?
Thread rules:
Forum rules apply.

And if possible please justify your answer for any of the questions that were written up there.
Thank you and have a nice day.
PS to mods: If there is a thread talking about bullying I'm sorry, please lock this one then. If this thread is in the wrong section I apologize, please move it to the right section.
This isn't really about me as a bully or a victim, simply a bystander I guess. You might call me mean for being a bystander, and not helping the victim, but the consequences would be tremendous, and the victim says that he's strong enough to take care of it by himself. He is not.
The victim is a sixth grader, around 110 pounds and maybe 4' 8". He is terrible at P.E.. and his skin has numerous freckles and blemishes. In this world of vanity, he already is a very obvious target for verbal blows against his features, and his physical faults. Besides that, he is very innocent, and often says things that other people misinterpret, things that perhaps a 5-year-old may say. Example:
One day he comes up to me and a few friends. He thinks that we are his friends because we are among the few people who do not bully him at our school. He asks Colin, "Hey, do you want to roll down a hill with me?" Colin says nothing(for what can you say?). The victim (I don't want to reveal his name for he is a very serious flash gamer and he might be here on AG) then lies down on the grass sideways and literally rolls down one of the smooth grassy hills at our school, shouting "Wheeeeeeee!" in the process.
Very rarely he has been abused by physical force, but he is very sensitive to injury, or he simply has a tendency to exclaim at extremely high pitches at even a slight physical discomfort, such as a thrown pine cone or a light punch by a peer. This discovery was immediately taken up by some in his classes during lunch and break for a few days, but soon even they got tired because it was much too predictable. A pine cone, thrown with a 12 year old's medium-level force makes him keel over and yell with all his might. However this might be a defense mechanism as the staff who patrol the school for mischief and shenanigans have come to his rescue on multiple occasions.
If you have been with me so far, I applaud you, you must either have a long attention span or a lot of time on your hands.
i meant physical bullying when i said me and my friends bully each other cenere. yes fist to fist not just verbal. i know its usually a loner but in my case, its the most popular
i am bullied somethimes mainly verbal which i dont give anything about somethimes they make fun of me cause i have a lazy eye and see not much depth because of it not that i care to much for people who do that The people dont get that bullying me is sense less cause i dont care you cant break me i think people that bully are the weak people if you think its cool to bully theres something wrong with you
The victim is a sixth grader, around 110 pounds and maybe 4' 8". He is terrible at P.E..
Lol sounds like me in 6th grade. I didn't get picked on too much, but I did a bit. I had just switched schools too so I didn't know anyone and was very shy. Not my best school year, but I still had fun.
I've never been bullied nor have I bullied anyone else. I think it's just causes people to start believing in hateful comments such as: You're fat, You're too tall, etc. I'm usually easy going so I guess that's why I don't get bullied.
I was bullied a bit in elementary school for being too smart, but now I have Xbox Live and I'm friends with all of the jocks, so I'm apparently cool now XD so, the lesson here is that wasting time playing video games online will solve all of your social problems!
Well, when some really trippy guy comes in who is a stereo type, such as an asian man, I find it ok just to say 1 or 2 "insults" or "jokes" like "herro man you shellin shitty wok chicken or nooooooo?, but it doesnt matta cuz its fourrr fity"
BUT beating on someone every day and when its pretty gay stuff like taking their money or other shit it becomes reallly gay, so yeah "bullying" is a prick thing.
Still, in all my life i have yet to see a kid being bullied who coudnt do anything, like cmon if your small when someone tries some funnky shit just grab something n hit him with a book or anything (not a knife). w/e though thats just something for another day.
