Bullies need to be hit with a shovel D:<

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

Ok, so a few weeks ago, this bully was talking his head off during art. Everyone was being quiet. I asked my friends, "Should I tell them to be quiet?" And thei like, "Yes please!" So I say to ther bully, "Be quiet please, we're working here." Suddenly he starts throwing lame disses like, "You're so ugly when you went to he grudge's house the grudge ran away from fear." I was drawing a nice couger, didn't look to good cause all we had to wrk with was cuetips and paint. So he starts insulting the couger "That couger looks like a dog! Atleast I don't draw cougers that look like dogs!" Me: "And you can do better?" Him: "I don't feel like drawing right now." Right. Well he keep throwing disses till he upsets me. I do acually start crying at one point. before that though, I went to tell. "Tattletale!" He called. Me: "It's not tattling when you're verbally harrassing me." Well after i start crying my friends goes to tell on him. Poof, he's gone to the office. One more strike and he's out. He's being suspended alot these days. He even got his butt handed to him by this bully-like guy (You'd think he's a bully but he doesn't pick on people) Well the bully got so mad he took his own CD player and smashed into the ground. Poof. Suspened for starting fights. In conclusion: Bullies need to find better hobbies or be hit with a shovel.

Eh, possibly.

A lot of the time they bully people because they feel they are inadequate.

I'm good at finding out what they're problem is and shoving it in their face, so I'm left alone.  It's a good skill and has earned me many friends.

Of course...I guess you could also be compasionate and sympathetic...but where is the fun in that?

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

I'm not as old as most of you, and non-constructive critisism and flames have always upset me like, alot. Ignoring never works for me, cause I usually break down in the middle of trying.

[Nurahk]

I wish I could understand better, I've always had a high tolerance for this kind of thing.

It's a fact of life that bullies will always be around, not much you can do about it.

Just remember you are better than them

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

Right now I'm trying to find out what his problem is.... He has HORRIBLE grades but I'm guessing he doesn't care. He has an Xbox.... Um..... I don't really know much about him. Whenever anyone dissaggrees with him, he starts a fight.

[Robinmagus]

He wants attention. Negative of positive, it doesn't really matter. But don't listen to me, just got suspended from school today for fighting. Though I'd like to think that it was "self-defence"

[Nurahk]

Play more, Robin, I want to call you Talad

And that's the gist of it, that's why ignoring them has such a good effect a lot of the time.

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

Acually, everyone in class knows I can't take it for long, which is true, so he doesn't shut up, and sometimes theres little giggles at what he says, which encourages him.

[Robinmagus]

Then file for verbal harassment if he's keeping it up. Before though, confront him, and make the verbal harassment report a serious possibility in his mind. If he keeps it up, I guess you'll be giving him his last strike.

Well then I think you need to work on you, not him. It's not your job to be responsible for his behaviour, you're responsible for yours. I'm not saying that you should let everyone walk all over you and never do anything about it because you're "not responsible for their behaviour", I'm saying you should concentrate less on what you can do to make him back off, and concentrate more on why it bothers you so much. I never had a problem with bullies because they knew I didn't give a proverbial rat's behind for their bullying. I never got in a fight, not because I'm chicken, because I never had to. I was never bothered. It's in your attitude. They didn't not bother me because I'm a "kung-fu fighter" or anything like that. I'm a geek and never hid it, but they knew that I was in control and they couldn't intimidate me. I'm not saying all this to puff myself up, although that's admittedly a pleasant side effect. I'm saying it to point out that you should work on yourself and the way it affects you rather than trying to make him stop. Even once he's out of your life, you're going to have negative influence and bad situations, it's a part of life, and you're not going to be able to "tell" on everyone and everything to make it go away.

Damn Dr. Phil good going. I agree!

Happened to me a bit in high school, once in art class actually Pinning them to a wall by their throat usually makes it stop (although that gets you in trouble too). I'd leave violence as the last solution though.... How supportive are teachers about this kind of thing? What would the reaction be if you told a teacher that you're going to throw a chair at his head if someone doesn't stop him (I'm serious)? You've got to do something. Unless you can do what Phinehas said and make yourself able to ignore him, then it's not going to stop unless you take some other kind of action.

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

I try to ignore him. Lately I haven't been getting into any fights with him. He picks on people that say or do something he doesn't like. So he won't bother him untill I ask him to be quiet or disaggree with him on something. My friends are now discouraging me to tell him to be quiet, but just cause he isn't picking on me doesn't meen the problem is solved. I know a few karate moves, but sure aren't going to use um' any time soon. I'v come a pretty long way since two years ago, when I got mad/upset at anything. I'll probobly not care a bit by next year, because I do understand their doing this to feal big and make others feel weak. One of my friends(one of the strongest people in school and the tallest guy in school) even called him a wimp. I'm kind of I wimp too, since even though I'v got skill, I'm always afraid to fight. I blaim teachers for that xD. If I wasn't so discouraged about that type of thing, I'd punch him in the face. I always perfer not to do things that get me in trouble. I am a geek, a techno geek in fact. I don't really mind, some people even envy me. Basicly bullies at my school don't use that kind of thing. They just use lame disses. I just belive they follow the code of C.O.O.L.(Constaped Overrated Out-of-style Loser.) If I ever hear someone call themselves cool, I'll laugh in their faces.

EDIT: Also, according to the teacher, if he bothers me one more time, he's in trouble. Big trouble.

Damn Dr. Phil good going. I agree!

That's Dr. Phin, to you. Or, in this case, Dr. Matt.

Me=amateur psychologist.

Also. Gyerfry, without being condescending it sounds to me from your last post that you're not so much dealing with the bully as who you are as a person and how you act and react, etc. etc. This is all fine, and it shouldn't bother you, since everyone goes through that sort of thing. Just try not to do anything stupid till you've got it all figured out.

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

Um, K. But I still wanna hit him with a shovel xD.
