And I'm ashamed of myself for that. Ironically, we're really good friends these days. She looked past my flaws and helped me to be a better person. She's great :)

I think most people have, whether or not they realize it. I myself indirectly bullied a boy for years before he moved away sophomore year. Everyone made fun of him for being a socially awkward nerd, but I never stood up for him. If I ever see him again, I hope he'll forgive me.

Not standing up for victims of bullying doesn't make you a bully, indirectly or otherwise. This comment just sounds like you are trying to milk sympathy from people for knowing aboot bullying, but you don't want people to think you are horrible for having bullied. On a side note, I don't care if you mean to imply this, but you shouldn't hope for forgiveness without asking for forgiveness. At least try feigning remorse for your inactions.

When I was friends with some people, I got really mean. And we would seriously make people cry everyday. Sigh, I was such a terrible person.

I have and still do. At least now I have the presence of mind to hate myself for it.

Why bother with wasting energy on hating yourself for doing something if you know the behavior has negative implications? You should use that energy to stop bullying people. What good is the presense if it cannot react with its environment?

I've said a lot of pretty cruel stuff behind other people's backs, which is just as bad as being confrontational, I guess.

I kinda can't believe a few people voted no way. They had to have been mean to SOMEONE at some point in their life even if they just bullied family members without even realizing it.

But accidentally offending someone and bullying are different things. Sure I might have said something mean but it was done in the nicest way possible. Some people are just super kind hearted and they can't let themselves act mean towards anyone, no matter now much they may dislike them. It's actually frustrating, because it results in no way of getting your anger out at a really bad person, you just have to forget them and move on.

I'm glad to see someone point this out. It is very frustrating. I can't even stand up for myself against countless bullies I've faced because I don't want to come across as mean to them.

WinnerWinner, I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. I said that I think people must be ignorant of their actions if they believe that they have never bullied anyone before. See?

I admit, I've said mean stuff sometimes about people that I regret, but I've never repeatedly terrorized someone.

I'm really sarcastic and I joke around a lot, so I have probably hurt someone or a few people by it. But I've never intentionally bullied.

Never mind. I remembered the time in fifth grade I started calling this boy a mermaid and everyone at my table heard me and started doing it too and he got really upset and told the teacher on us.

Sadly yes. When I was in 4th grade, my friends and I at the time started bullying this boy because of Webkinz. One of my "friends" hacked into my and my best friend's account. She put the blame on an innocent boy, and I was stupid enough to believe her. We annoyed this kid at recess for revenge. I deeply regret doing this, and I still hate myself for bullying this boy. No one deserves to be bullied.

Omg Webkinz were THE shit when I was in 4th grade. I remember like my friend told me that "I spend to much time on Webkinz and I have to many" and I wouldn't talk to her for like a month. Lol.

A girl in fourth grade was excluded from the entire class because she was annoying and a bit clingy. I had switched classes(into hers) and was told by everyone to stay away. I was with her a bit, but I only focused on her negatives because everybody disliked her. My friends and I would be playing checkers during rainy recess and then once a game ended, she would come over and ask to play. We would instantly start a new game and claim we were still playing. I felt so bad. She was always so nice. The next year, I rode her bus due to bus route schedules, and I decided to be nice. We never became really good friends, but I stopped being rude to her, because for once I realized how nice she was to me.

Hard to say, because I think the definition of "bullying" has changed since I was in high school.

Not really, but all of my friends transferred schools by time I got to 6th grade, so it was just me and 5 boys, who I never really connected with. I got pretty lonely and sarcastic and I like to think my realizing I was gay helped fuel this a bit. Anyway, by the 8th grade I started swearing a lot and taking on the bad qualities of the people around me. There was this new kid who, from the first day, thought he was cooler than everyone and was just plain obnoxious. He was also the kid who would get really really soft all of a sudden and ask why everyone hated him. I started to feel bad for him and just ignored him the best I could. Then, we were on decent terms until he started up again. It was nothing more than sarcasm and cursing until he hit me trying to grab a basketball from the air. It continued to be a problem until were we walking to lunch one day and he was infuriating us purposely, so I turned around to punch him, but stopped. My knuckles just barely grazed him. I had never been physical before. I'd fantasized about punching a person or two, but never did. We just left each other alone, I graduated and got some friends and now I'm nice as ever. Not a proud time, though.

None that I would really call bullying if I was the other person, but I guess what might seem unimportant to me could be a big deal to other people. For instance, once in eighth grade there was a guy who had really long hair, and some people were giving him a hard time about it. One of them pointed out that his hair was longer than mine, he said it wasn't, and I said it was. I wasn't trying to be mean; I just reflexively supported the point the other people had made. Another time there was a girl who nobody liked. I was the only one who was decent to her, so I guess she took that as a sign that we should be BFFs. After a while I got annoyed that she followed me everywhere, so I told her to stop coming everywhere with me. I honestly don't remember exactly what I said or how I said it, so I don't know if I would classify that as bullying.

Obviously we have all said something mean about someone at some point in our lives. Does that really make us bullies?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Hmm... I'm never mean to anyone at school. I mean, I sure as hell THINK nasty things about certain people, but I never say anything. I'm a total bitch to my brothers most of the time, though. Especially my younger one. I call him names and make fun of him and if he gets on my nerves sometimes I'll smack him upside the head - not hard enough to really hurt him, but hard enough to let him know he's getting on my nerves. I suppose that might count as bullying. They're just as mean to me, though; that's how I justify it.

I have. And that experience taught me that bullies aren't necessarily jealous of you. They just hate one or a few things about you. That hatred makes them want to push you down a few pegs. After a while, everything you do makes them irritated. They now hate everything about you. This leads them to pushing you farther and farther down. From here on out it spirals out of control. My experiences with bullying taught me that the best "personality" (for lack of better term) to portray is nice, not arrogant or braggy, but still having that firmness that will prevent you from getting bullied. Also having a positive outlook and finding something good in everyone will prevent you from bullying.
