Have you guys ever experienced bullying in your life? I mean as a victim?

yes.

Yeah, not physical though.

Yes. High school was harsh

Yes, unfortunately.
Since I was 5 I have been insulted and also sometimes hitter.
The worst was that the teachers didn't believed me.... And they were always saying that I was stupid and I would never done something in my life. That continue until I was 13. But until 16 I suffered of depression and had no self-esteem, thanks to my best friends I passed that fase but it was really terrifying.

P. S. I'm 20.
And sorry if my English is not good.

Me too. Not physical too, and happened for almost 8 years. I never thought the scar was deep at all, coz until yesterday i was alright. The thing is, i could survived for almost 8 years, because i didnt really feel anything. I mean, i was fighting back at them who bullied me and it consumed lots lots courage and strenght. But, not in right pace. It changed me so greatly, to the point that i almost hate myself. Like there is a big and deep hole in my chest, and everytime i see my face in the mirror, all i can see is hatred. Yet i am acting like i am kind outside. I am acting like i can reconsile with them, but deep down, i hope i can be stronger, like those strong boys in mangas i read. They really kick some asses who dare to mess with them. I feel weak, and i hope i can be a boy too, who know how to fight properly. Too bad, i cant.

Ohyeah, physically too.

i guess everyone is bullied at some point in theor life depends on where u live .. asian countries dont have it as worse as westren but bullying is everywhere. would u believe i got bullied at university .. its not that only teens have to face it . but most importantly , these are important years when one become stronger and more independent ... they dont have tp stay silent and wait for it to end .. take action .. inform ur parents or teachers or seniors who care .stamd up for urself . because if u let them eat u they will... ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ and most importantly if u cant be brave , just act brave no one can tell the differe ce ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Yup. High school was pretty bad. Girls in my class would throw crumpled paper during class. Get my assignment and shamelessly copy. Talk loudly about me during class breaks (whenever they have the time really). I did not realize it at first coz whenever I talk to them they would be all smiles. A good friend told me about it and I cried a lot coz i never thought i could be hated that much and that way. So I decided to just stay out of their way. The bullying did not stop but I did not care about it anymore. I got busy with my own plans for college (scholarship and part time jobs) and my extra curricular activities (mangas/animes as well ). I still see some of them whenever I'm in my hometown but their opinions and criticisms weigh less than the stack BLs I want to read.

I can somewhat relate to you mu-chan. I pretended that I could reconcile with them but I know I was just lying not only to them but to myself. What they've done to me is just so wrong. I can be civil with them but never chummy because at the back of my mind I know they can do it again. I was just lucky I have few good friends who helped me through the whole ordeal.

Sorry about your situation.
When I was in 3rd year of highschool (we have 5 or 7 years here in Argentina, depending on the type of school), I was bullied by some random dudes from the 4th grade.
I'm a boy, and I was 15 years old back then.
Afortunately, a group of girls accepted me in, which made me very happy, even though I already had company with me.
I knew and still know how to defend myself due to Boxing classes (I started when I was 13) but i'm not the agressive type, I prefer to solve things talking.
I didn't really mind the bullies since I already had told my parents about them, and my mother went to school as fast as possible to talk about it with the school staff.
A few weeks later, the bullies had stopped approaching me so constantly and I got closer to the girls in the group I mentioned earlier. Also, this has nothing to do with the subject but there was also a dude called Andrés (Andrew), which I really wanted to get closer to since he seemed pretty shy. With a bit of time, I invited him for lunch and such and we became more and more closer that we noticed we liked eachother. That guy is currently my boyfriend and i'm really glad to have him next to me, along with my family and some friends that had no problem with our relationship.

unfortunately yes... in primary education (school) it was really bad (the daughter of the teacher and also niece frome the headschool) 9 years till 1st year of high school! but then the boy's became bullying and harassment me because i was still a virgin till my 19 years old so yeah it was fucked up to say i hate people bullying other people a lot!

Girls can be so scary.. Right? Your experience is similar with mine, umm but mine was scarier. They told me they hate me in front of my face, yet i dunno who they are. And that was the first time i met them too. After that, nightmare begin. At first, only 5 persons, then before i realised it, all my classmate, even my homeroom teacher became my enemy. I thought about it for years, why they hate me so much, and suddenly other friend from other class told me. They just hate me, no reason, that i didnt do anything to them, they just hate me out of blue. Thats all. She said they told her. And at the 3rd years, all i knew is all students in my school know about me, and avoided me. Yesterday, i just knew, lots of them scared of me, didnt know the reason thought. But my mom said, thats because i always fight them back.

i can related this one! i was 9 years bullyd and then a point turned and i really hit the girl very much because i was sick of it to be the victem and also to be culprit nobody believed me the teachers either because she was the daughter of the teacher of my school and a nice from the headschool so yeah they didn't believe me at all and nobody wanted to speak up fore me too so then one day i really hit her really bad haha :) and i must say i felt relieved :)

relate*

You are my hero! I wanna beat them to pulp like some badass. But my regret is, i couldnt do it in the past coz lots of faces i needed to protect. All about reputation. Too bad.

It started in primary school ... there was one boy who hit me and also insulted me, so i told my teacher that i wanted to sit with another person, but she did nothing ...

Middle school wasn't that bad ... but they sometimes insulted me ...

High school first year was the worst ... we had joined classes in english and one boy always threw my books from the desk... i told my teacher what he was doing (but well ... she always saw it ) ... but she had no courage so my parents noticed i was often crying and talked to the principal
At the same time there was a guy who always bowered me with pervy stuff ... thank god he had to repeat classes after 2 years ...
And the rest of the class was also saying some stuff ....

So what happened? ... i was shy at first, but started talking back (honestly, i'm not that proud of myself because of that) and they stopped after some time

Now i'm someone who always treats people kindly and they often took advantage of me, because i had decent grades ... i always noticed afterwards ... like in middle school : all my "friends" didn't even bother talking to me on the streets , although they were always asking for my help when it came to school issues ...

I see myself as someone really weak
(Sry about my bad english and this long reply)

I find it interesting that you're asking that question on here, when we all know books, manga, anime, comics and videogames are the most common methods of dealing with bullying.

I used to chubby when I was in elementary so I was teased a lot during 3rd-5th grade and I used to talk back to them and sometimes demonstrate my martial arts techniques on them and then on 6th grade I matured a little and ignored them instead, turns out most of the guys who bullied me had a crush on me.

Running from reality, you mean? Or just as a way to gain some courage to fight? Actually i always imagine myself become a boy, and as one of cool strong deliquent i read in mangas. I wanna fight back. But too bad i am not a boy, but honestly i have sharp tongue. And for past 8 years, i learnt it can be more terrifying than punch itself. And, it was a good experience too. Words are more powerful , they said.
