hello everyone, I know that many people at school have or are beeing bullied at some point. It is important to talk about it at some point. Because maybe you're not the only one suffering from this and maybe something could be done or said to stop it or at least make it somehow better
Yes Yira I was in school. But not in college. That's why I like college better. I'm still bullied by some Zone members! But now I stand up for my slef.
I wouldn't call it bulling as I was never hit,or beaten.But, a few lads made fun of me for always being behind due to countless hospital appointments.When we moved to Belfast, they had a laugh on me for me Kerry accent and slang, also being a Celtic FC supporter, I'd piles of grief heaped on me, for my alligence to what was seen as a catholic team. I made nothing of them, did they think we were clueless living down the bottom of Ireland.

Well, I wouldn't call it bullying, but I have had my share of insults and shit that kids usually throw at someone who's physically, or in my case, visually, different. I was the only kid in school who was blind, and it didn't really phase me at all. I just let it go in one ear and out the otyher.
We were tougher in those days. I got on with the football daft lads,we had some good craic and I couldn't play for whiskey.

I think everyone's put down at one time or another, but it's how we deal with it that makes the difference.
It's still abuse and some people can't always shake it off, when I'm threatened for being paraplegic, it gets to me some days and it hurts, then there's days when I can laugh and say you next eejit.

yes, it's abuse and that's what people need to understand, that it is not their fault and that something can be done about it.
well, i personally am not bullied at my school, but i have friends that are, and i think it depends on how social you are with your classmates, my friends that are shy, timid, and quiet are the ones that tend to be bullied, i am not shy, timid, or quiet, i say what i think, and i dont take shit from anyone, so i think they respect me for that, and i also think it depends on whether you have grown up with your classmates, i started school in first grade at my school, and it goes through eighth grade so i think everyone is used to the "blind girl..." maybe you dont agree with me, but that's how i feel

I also as many have you been bullied in high school. I think though, it depends on how thick your skin is. I think it's all in how you deal with it. My being bullied has lead me to take a soc/psyc degree and help those other students who are blind/visually impaired who get bullied out. They need someone who can understand.
I remember kids beating me up at the age of 4 and 5. I remember how they'd kick me and throw me for no reason and I'd feel like the playground was spinning. I wanted to change school, but I never did, and it eventually got ok. Later in life when I was about 11 I was psychically bullied for about 3 years and a half, from like 5th to 8th grade. Then it all got better. I'm fine now, thank god.
Sorry if this post is very long.
yeah Loren, I do agree with the fact that it does help when you grow up with the same people since like forever that happened to me sometime when I was in school too. But sometimes even social people get made fun off bad as well
I think some are very insensible. They don't even care. I grow up around people with prejudices, and I find people at school my age are very insensetive to it. They mock me and laugh at me because of my opinion. They tell me I am wrong and the world's fair, and it's not important Racism's not.
