I just remembered this for some reason. When I was 11 I was beaten up by bigger boys over my political party preference. It wasnt as if it was the BNP or anything. They just didnt believe it was Labour and thought I was just copying my mate in front who, despite saying Labour, got away without a kicking.

Anyone else got any strange bullying stories?

I used to get bullied by a dwarf when I was at junior school. I stupidly made some comment about his dwarfism within earshot and he took it out on me for about 12 months. I should add that he was 3 years older, and considerably stronger, than I was.

My mother got my hair cut into a really awful short style when I was about 12. All the boys used to call me Vanilla Ice. It took years to grow out.


*I'll never forgive my mum for putting me through that*

QUite amusingly m surname is Moran, and for 11 ears of school I was affectionately known as 'Moron', which lead to me telling one of my bosses to 'Fuck off'(and I went home then aswell) and smacking a fellow co-worker in the face in later life for they ignored the two friendly warnings I gave.

My sister got bullied at school. There was one girl that was really shitty to her. They were in woodwork together one day and this little madam hit my sis over the head with the spice rack she was making.

I hunted the little shithead down and smacked her into a locker. Then I was the one that got told off.

I remember back in little school there was a big fuck off bullying showdown between all the girls in my class. They divided themselves into two factions for some reason, and one group were calling the others "gipsy queens" and the other group responded with "teapot heads" this carried on for ages, resulting in punching, hair pulling and everyone crying. One of the lads in the class thought it would be funny to interrupt by making a big fake knob out of grass and chasing them all with it...

When I was 17, someone once tried to pay someone to run me over because I took the piss out of him in front of a girl.

(He was a bit rapey so I felt I was doing a good thing)
Posted by Kitty, 16:21, 31st October 2003:
 
What happened to him??? Was he stamped to death by the teapot heads??
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:22, 31st October 2003:
 
Who? Grass cock guy? Nah.. He was just told by the teacher to pick up all of the bits of grass all over the yard which made up the various grass cocks made. It was like a bloody David Lynch film.

I was purposefully ran over by a moped when I was 9. My mum and dad got the old bill on that sucka's ass!!

I was taunting him telling him I saw his motorbike in the argos catalog.

I once got bullied by 3 kids who thought I was "being gay with my brother".

Thing is, I have no brothers at all.

I bullied some little kid who lived down the road. I called him and a wanker and he went in and told his mum. Anyway his mum came and spoke to my mum and I got told off.

My mum started going, "Do you know what it means when you call someone a wanker?"

I could've died!

:(

When I was 15 my elder sister, who was quite a fairly evil person, persuaded me to fight with a girl. After a exhausting scrap, I walked away around only to be confronted by the girl's identical twin and had to do all over again!

When i was about 15 or 16, just finishing secondary school, i used to get bullied by an 11 year old girl...she used to stick her tongue out at me and stamp on my feet...

Seriously, what was i supposed to do back?!?!

:(
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 16:39, 31st October 2003:
 
I seem to rember when i was about 9 getting very pissed off with one of my friends and chasing him around the school with a wooden stool in an attempt to dash his brains out. When asked if I was okay b a parent the response of "No" and then running after him again was apparently not what the school wanted in it's pupils.

And little girls, "Are you irritating me because you fancy my mate?"

I used to get bullied by a teacher in little school because she didn't like my mum :(

She'd keep me in after school and in at playtime and encourage other "detentionees" to bitch about her.

This teacher's oldest son used to be a Premiership footballer. Poor sod, having that for a mum.

I cant remember ever being bullied...But i do remember a teacher I had in primary school who used to grab me by the ear lobe and squeeze until it hurt like fuck. He was a right fat fuck too!!

My brother went to a school taught by the Christian Brothers (monks & priests), who where anything but christianly. They used to make him stand on his chair, grab the short hair just above his ears and make him jump off the chair whilst they held on!

They don't sound quite as sadistic, but why is that the christian (priests and monks)are always the ones that do the whole beating thing.

Shazbat. I forgot that I got bullied by an evil bastard teacher in junior school. It got to the stage where I refused to go to school because I was so traumatised by him. My mum complained to hthe headmaster, who investigated, and the teacher in question was 'transferred' at the end of term because it wasn't just me he was victimising.

I've never been bullied or know anyone who has been bullied because of their political views. Maybe in Europe or wherever that happens more. In America people bully others because they're insecure about themselves apparently. They pick someone smaller or weaker than them and just bully them because they can. Or Their parents might be the bullying type, and they pick it up from them. Bullies hate people like myself, who stand up to them. They say bullies hate being stood up to because they're just cowards. All I did was just stand my ground, be sure they can here you, raising your voice a little helps. Also some bullies just aren't very smart so using some big words with them just makes them feel dumb. Anyway that's how I always dealt with them. Maybe what I said will help someone.

I just can't imagine it...
"Errr! You're a tory! I'm going to tell the whole school!"
"You filthy liberal! The whole school will know by tommorow. Then I'm beating you stinking socialist up behind the bikeshed."
"You agree with the current government on foundation hospitals? Come on then!!"
"You wanker! You think we should join the single European Currency! Get 'im lads!"

I suppose it's slightly more imaginative than jokes about big ears, being fat or the ever imaginative use of the word "gay" to describe every single aspect of being statistically deviant except, for some curious reason, actually being gay.

Humm you say this but at uni a few years ago we (Terry and I) got into a large debacle involving the whole political party thing. We had the student represntative elections and we didn't know what party affiliation people had, I then heard that the Tory's were standing as a block for all of the seats. SO a campaign was started between the two of us to find out for which party people stood (ie. to find out their underlying policies). It escalated, not helped by a slow news week in the student rag it got proper coverage and we managed to maintain partial Secret Squirrelness. So the whole uni found out about it and come election day there we are handing out flyers when along come all of the Tory's and start to manhandle our flyers away from people who we had givern them to and trying to take our stash of them aswell.

To be fair we were picking on them because they were Torys, but they were known as and were some of the biggest wankers *ever* on campus.

Humm this doesn't seem so good in retrospect but I've typed it now...haha

Got bullied a bit for being a 'sweaty' (ie not listening to TTF and Carl Cox) but not too much as I was over 6' from 3rd year onwards.

I suppose i probably bullied some kids in the early years of high school. Never conciously to make them unhappy. I was just a bit of a twat and a bit big and clumsy. Kind of a Lenny. What I thought was playful and fun could have hurt. Sorry.

Bullying stopped when all the thicko schemie idiots were booted out as soon as they hit 16. One guy used to impress his mates by spitting on my bag and kicking at me as i walked down the stairs. Decked him one day and that was that. Nice one.
