Mmmmmhm, every day until I hit about 11th grade, then I started feeling good about myself and magically my ears repel negative comments about me.
Most of them anyway.

Middle School: - A group of guys, one didn't like that I corrected them in class "you're think your a punk or something, huh?". They slammed my iPod against my face, glass got in my eye, destroyed my books, backpack, cut off my a lot of my hair-broke the scissors. Later they would spend a lot of days trying to tear up my homework and beating me up. I told no one. Eventually they got caught when they threw me at a teacher's car, they didn't know that the teacher was nearby (one of the only cars left in the parking lot)
High School: Football Team hated my guts.They made fun of a kid that was gay, and I replied that "how are football guys not gay? No straight guy would make pants that tight or wear them either." Every time one of them saw me, they tried to beat me up, take my stuff. They threw things at me: sometimes paper balls and spit wads and sometimes rocks, mud.
then in middle school, i got my first boyfriend and kids would hassle me about being a "f*ggot", but even though that didn't happen as often as the gringo stuff, i think it hurt even more... idk why tho
but everything is cool now. i can't really say this without sounding like a douche, but i'm pretty popular (or infamous, more like) at my school. it's fun to have a lot of friends, but of course there are the losers who hate on you just cuz people like you, so they spread nasty stuff about you around, and that's the furthest extent of bullying i've had to put up with since high school started, which is pretty mild compared to the stuff before.
* i have no idea why i wrote an essay long response, but it felt right x)
KNOCKOUT!!!!
Bullies only bully the weak. Fight back and they leave you alone, even if you get your ass handed to you. :)
I do applaud your level of ego though, you think your deductive skills are so good that in three sentences you know how weak I may be.
Sorry, I know you weren't talking to me,
just wanted you to know what my favorite Dinosaur is :3
So perhaps the original question should have specified, or I should have specified at the least, which definition of bullying we're talking about.
Are we talking about bullying 20+ years ago when I was a kid, or are we talking about this new definition that's cropped up?
When I was kid bullying was being pushed around, picked on, spit on... bullying was physical.
This new definition these days, where teasing someone for wearing knee high socks with shorts (which I have experience with as well) is bullying was just kids being mean because... well, because kids are mean.
So the case in point was an occasion where my daughter had forgotten her glasses and swung through about 50 pitches in batting practice. The short stop and second baseman laughed, had a few things to say, and ultimately sat down. Both were corrected quickly, but she considered it bullying under this new definition.
Ultimately yes, physical violence, or the advocating of it, is pretty darn weak in view of the new definiti...

Ultimately yes, physical violence, or the advocating of it, is pretty darn weak in view of the new definition. There are better ways. Under the old definition, the remedy is the same though. If you take it, it'll continue, they will continue to push you around and spit on you, but if you fight back they'll move on to someone who'll take it. Under the old definition, bullies want victims, anything to prove their superiority over another. The possibility that they could be proven otherwise on their own level, however remote that possibility might be, doesn't sit well with them.
Anyhow, to answer your question, Micha stole my answer! :)
And I suppose you are correct, but I always managed to solve physical bullying the same way I solved verbal bullying; intense psychological warfare.
nope...i was pretty much nuetral.
