re: Did you have a bully when you were younger?

When I was 8 or 9 we were getting bullied by a couple kids that lived down the street from us. One day it came to a head, we'd had enough. My brother and I met them across the road from their house with sticks in our hands. They dared us to cross the road, so we did and met in the middle of the road. We whipped their arse with those sticks and never had trouble with them again, we became good friends after that.

That taught me a lesson at an early age to never put up with bullying so if you tried me, you better be ready to fight because I never backed down or took shite from anyone.

My middle daughter was getting bullied at school and came home crying about it a few times. I had heard enough and told her if she came home crying about it again, I'd give her something to cry about. I told her the next time the girl got in her face to hit her as hard as she could right in the nose.
We had warned the school this was happening and what the outcome was going to be, but they did nothing to stop it. Well lunch time they were in line in the cafeteria and the girl started in on my daughter. She hit the bully as hard as she could in the nose, blood went everywhere. That was the last time my daughter was ever bullied again.

I had a kid that was probably in 9th or 10th grade I was in 5th grade - I didn’t go to school with him. In fact I don’t even remember how I met him, but that bastard used to hit me so hard I’d have bruises on my arms.
Why would an a-hole bully someone that much younger than you?

When I was in elementary there was big kid that would bully me. He also rode my bus. It was never really too bad. Now that I’m older and know causes of bullying I can understand. That kid lived in the worst looking run down rv. I know his life was probably horrible when he got home. Age Definitely changes your perspective.

if she came home crying about it again, I'd give her something to cry about.

—20th century response: Great job, teaching her to stand up for herself
—21st century response: So you bullied her into hitting another girl? You brute.

I had a brief moment around 7th grade that I wanted to bully someone. I picked a fight with a kid and he broke my nose.

One of the best things to ever happen to me.

nah i was 6' 170 in 6th grade

I got bullied once. It was in 6th grade. It was a large black kid in my class.

We were in science class one day and the dude was sitting in the back throwing erasers, rubber bands and whatever else he could find at people. One of my friends snitched on him. The teacher said if he threw something at you then leave a note on my desk after class. Stupid me wanting to back up my friend leaves a note. The kid saw me place something on her desk. He walks over and picks me up by the neck with one hand and tosses me 5 feet through the air.

The dude got a 3 day suspension for it, but they stuck him back in my classes for the rest of the day. The dude just stared at me the whole time. All my friends planned my funeral during our lunch period. After that day we didn't have any further issues. I learned my lesson and he's probably in jail somewhere. I learned to not snitch unless it's a life or death situation.

Yes, 3 that I remember.
1 is in jail for life
1 is now a preacher
1 is now a cop

Absolutely true.

In 6th grade, I had an 8th grade bully. Mostly just pushing and threatening me anytime he saw me. Jr high was 6,7,8 grade. One day on the bus he took a clean shot as I was heading to the exit. I remember thinking it didn't hurt like I imagined it would. He moves on to high school. 2 years later, as a freshman, I walk into the restroom and there he is. As a junior in high school, he looked like he hadn't grown an inch since he was in 8th grade. I was much bigger than him, and the scared on his face was enough for me. Many years later, as adults, he has bought me a drink whenever we run into each other.
