(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); What is your view on bullying? Have you ever been bullied or have you ever bullied another. Do you think it is right or wrong?

I definitly think that it is wrong. Nobody can justify repeatidly taregting one person for verbal and physical abuse in the workplace or school. With the technology available today, it can happen to someone 24/7/ Cyberbullying has opened up the door to something even worse. Bullying can have serious effects on a persons self-esteem. As seen in the past, suicides even result after serious on-going bullying that the victim wanted to escape.

If you are being bullied, talk to someone. It really helps

It is most definitely wrong. There is no justification for attacking people verbally and physically. With the addition of the internet, bullying of the cyber persuasion also exists. That too is wrong. Hurting people for whatever reason is simply wrong; mostly because the person being hurt wouldn't have done anything. I can say this confidently because I have been on both sides of it. Do I regret bullying a few kids when I was 10ish, definitely. I didn't really realize after a few months of being a bully but I may have done some serious damage. The good news is though, when I realized what I did was wrong, I did what I could to rectify my wrongs. All except the kids who bullied me first because me attacking them was just good ole vengeance.

I was bullied from 12-15 years old, old and new groups of people. I was introverted to start out with and it caused me to pull in even more to the point where I only had a couple of friends. My Middle school and Freshman years were the worst years of my life. Drove my grades down, problems with family and such.

Sophomore year, the bullying started to stop, although I was still bullied. Last year was the first year where I didn't have the problems, they tried but I had a lot of people grow to know me for who I actually was which developed into a lot of friendships, friends who helped pick me up. That in the end ended a lot of the bullying problems for myself.

Last year and this year of school are the best years of my life so far, even in elementary school, I had issues with bullies. Something I hate, but I do have to admit, once you are done going through the hell you may be better or worse and in my case I think I developed traits that have made me a better person socially, stronger in fact, although I wonder what my life would have been like if I never did get bullied. I used to be one of the most optimistic yet realistic persons you would know, one of the nicest kids. Now I have a darker/morbid mind, realistic and pessimistic yet I still have fun.

Was getting bullied worth it, Yes and No. :/

I can't change the past, so this is the life and mind I have. I am trying to change it but when you face hardships of the past, your life is never the same. There are 3+ years in which I missed out on because I became so depressed, the 3 years that was the change between kid to teen/adult that I will never truly get to experience.

Bullying is usually done by no lifes to raise their self esteem. Back in Grade 7, a guy started bullying me, in the first weeks I was really a kid and didn't know what to do. But one time I told him to meet me in the School's Garden after the school day ends, I beat the crap out of him and my mate recorded it using his Mobile, I still have it to this day, makes me proud that I managed to end bullying myself. Infact, I was capable to bully him back, at least by posting the Video on internet, or showing it off to everyone, but I didn't.

I was once bullied by words, and I also beat the guy and let my mate record it. So yeah, I've two epic wins against bullies.

However, a group bullying a single kid can be really miserable, as he can't fight back...of course. To be honest, I blame Schools for not taking serious measures such as immediate kicking for bullies with no appealing.

As for bullying myself, I never really done it, my friends used to bully a kid by beating him, making him cry and crap like that, but I never participated in it.

Not trying to be a prick, but if someone suicides because of "Cyber" Bullying, then I won't feel sad for him. REGARDLESS of what, he could of just turned that screen off, and got out of it unlike real bullying.

A person might get depressed if people bully him on Facebook, but suicide for it? That's so far and idiotic.

Bullying is extremely stupid and the people who do it are extreme dumbasses. I have been bullied before along with my girlfriend. The whole situation was completely stupid and he managed to make just about the entire school hate us. People who commit suicide take everything way too seriously. There's no good reason to hurt yourself because of what others think. I got over what everyone thought about me and now I'm living a completely happy life.

Of course it is wrong,
I have bullied one or two people before, unintentional, i just thought of it as having a laugh, but then i realised that, when my mates joined in, and it wasn't me doing it, that it did affect the person, now i've made up for it, and glad i did so,
i have never cyber bullied though, i just find it as pointless and the lowest way to do it.

It seems quite rare that a bully is strong, or 'hard' in school terms. They usually do it to make them feel better about themselves for being weak by picking on someone who shows as weaker. More often than not bullies can get their ass kicked, we've all seen it on videos. I've beat a bully before. Well, I say beat and bully, but what happened was a guy was calling someone I know names, so then I guess he was a bully, but the other guy was a cool person. So I intervened and stuck up for him, kicked the bully a few times in his stomach and he walked off crying. Next thing I know he's with a teacher trying to find me, I told them what happened and he got in trouble and the teachers thought he was bullying me, LOL WIN. This must have been a good 10 years ago though.

But like I said, more often that not bullies can be beaten. If you get bullied, take up some martial arts. However DON'T take it up for the sole intentions of learning just so you can beat the bully. Take it up for self defence, to build up your confidence and to get fit. Then when the bully starts on you, give him/them a few chances to back off or you'll beat him. He'll come at you, you block, he does it again, you block, warn them again and beat his ass. That's what I would do, but as long as you don't use your martial arts skills to become one of them and only use it in self defence or organised, legal fights there isn't a problem.

Bully is cruel and wrong. I have been subject to bullying my whole life as I'm overweight. It still hasn't really stopped till this day, but it has died down majorly. It died down because my brother and his friends went up to the kid and told him to stop. The first time 4 of them went up to him, and he just kept saying shit. Then a whole group of them went up to him and cornered him. From that day on, the kid hasn't said anything bad about me People have talked to others as well, and I also lost weight so that may have also affected the bullying

Bullies sometimes say they're joking, but even if they are, it still hurts. It ruins your self esteem and confidence, and that's why I used to put myself down a lot. I will admit I have bullied people in the past, but I usually even tell them that I'm joking. Sometimes I don't even mean it. And whenever I hurt someone, even if I'm joking, I feel bad.

I do think schools need to be more harsher against bullying. Nobody deserves to be bullied, it's horrible. If you think something bad about someone, keep it to yourself.
