Oh belive me, there is bullies. The fact no one bullied you dosent mean that it dont happen.
Its like saying that a stab in the belly dosent hurt, because you didnt felt anything when a man got stabed,or they are jsut over sensative.
I dont want to go back to a time when i got bullied,i preaty much forgot it {or dont want to remmember it}. But peoples does get bullied. Sometimes hard.
Im just so curios, wher are you from, the place wher there are no bullies?
Im from a small town as well, but we got bullies here.
and back to our topic - Talking is always a good idea. it dosent need to be "X did Y to me!". but just asking for help and tips. people close to you, from parents and brothers/sisters to teachers and friends, it alwas good to share it. They know the situation better then we do, they mostly know the bully better. But the 'dirty work' is up to you.
I recomanned - survive. Dont 'lay down with the legs up and show the belly' like a scared dog to a alpha one. always stant proud. Dont be affraid. that what i learnt. When they 'call you', hear what they have to say. I once even hang out with them for entire break, talked and gave a tip to one dude who got in trouble. since then they 'changed' there attitued to me. I dont want to sound Arrogant, but do that as long as you can "lay cool". If you are nervues, goofy or dont have tact, dont try this. you might just becaome even larger goof. and stay away from the 'Idiots', the one who do it to impress there friends and that are truely evil, who enjoy bullieng.
I can spilt them to 2 groups -
The wolves - these just want to feel strong, alphas. This is just who they are, how they were rised. there cultur. In Israel, they are mostly the 'arses', and if ill be "racist", even that its true, they are mostly mizrahi's, from morroco and the rest of north africa, from Iraq adn persia and from yemmen. afcours they are not directly from there, but the son of a son of a immigrant, or even more "son of a son", but yet there is a base of eastern cultur. There are not mizrahi arses too, but they are 'ashkenazi's' {europe origins} who want to hang out with them and 'be cool' {they are even worst, as they come from "good families" and dont have the treat of 'honor' {well the arses version of honor, which is mostly malformed} and need to impress even more}.
these bullies do it to 'show there rank' to the other. and also because hey are not very willing to mature {as they are stick to there small group, not willing to listen to authurity or knowledge}. They do it 'as a joke', they dont understand that they hurt other peoples. for them, they socialise with you.
At the 10 grade, two of them had a fight. then they realise that its not like the 4th grade. one of them got realy injured, broke a leg and the nose. I think that then they realise that they are not kid anymore in that asspect. That a slap to the neck is no longer just a weak slap.
The other kind are the sadist peoples. They dont have to be in a group, but might be. They just like to turtor peoples, in some kind of god syndrome, see how they can make people missreble. They are the ones who will destroy things that belong to everyone, like bathrooms, just to feel that they can do something in there life. They will throw a egg on a teacher to feel the power.
and they are the one who will find victims. the ones who will rob other peoples. who will even **** or beat up in older ages. they just dont have limits.
In Israel, its mostly the russians, who got attracted to thet cultur of arses as well, but with more focus on the brutality asspect. they are the worst kind, as they are very violante, and, [racism again] drink. the russians arses come from Not functioning families mostly. But It not only them. its the kids who got from "bad families". somethims they get bitten at home, by parents or brothers. Or just poor families, and the seed of jealos is the basis.
Sometimes they are just 'dumb'. these kids who do what they want because they want it. They want to belive they are criminals, that they are dangeruse. they mostly dont hang up with other peoples, or go to the edges of the "wannabe gangmembers". They are the crazy ones, who will stab you for standing up. this contol is all waht they have, and they dont want to lose it.
from them you need to just go away. find a way to not interact with them, or interact as less as possible. asking to move to another class in some cases.
I didnt intened to be racist. All abouve are just examples of ill even say stereotipes of these "class". but waht can i do, its because cultural diffrunces and historical events that shape these culturs to be more "welcoming" to such acting. ill love to explane more to anyone who want to know, PM me.
So for you, just find wher your bully stand - does he do it "without knowledge"? does he think he just mess out with you, just "lay"? look how he act with his friends. he might not consider you as a friend, but he try to be social, as he find some interest in you. sometimes he even try to say "im protecting you" by taunting and do other little things. I saw it happen {im not proud of t} when i went to a camp of my youth organization back at the 9th grade. a dude from another region, a american who just came for the camp, was arrogant over me, i wont say bully but he always act nasty on me, with "who care about you" when i talked and stuff. so one day, when he got realy nasty on my, by a chanse these i tagged as 'bullies' from my hometown saw it, and asked me if he bother me. I regrate it up anteal today, but i said yes, and while from no wher 15 dudes just almost lynched him, he told me that tehy were looking for him befor the 'lynch', because "he stole of of the 'gang' seat in the kiosk, and when they ask him to move out he cursed them and told them to **** off". to my credit will said that i stoped them {after he got waht he deserved} and helped him to stand up and walk to the nurse tent.
If you read this, i forget your name, im sorry.
but anyway, that showed me that the first kind are not intend to be bullies. they just act like your a hommie. like you are a low rank at ther gang.
and after i got to know some of them more in diffrunte places, i "upgrated" my rank, so i didnt got bully, like some of my friends. That and the fact i got a cool nickname that everyone knew. teacher called me with that nickname. people dont knew my real name but the nickname goddammet.
The OTHER kind, in another case, you need to avoid as i said. i just moved to anotehr math class, and tried to avoid him. after a while, he just didnt 'remmebered' me, he didnt saw me as a victim, as i wasnt there to be bullied. and about the crazy kids, well, they just walked to behind the gym to smoke, so it was easy avoiding them. You just dont need to get near them or make them angry.
This is my life exeprince. Im hope it will help to whoever need it.
