Lets just say that what they said is extremely offensive and lewd. Great just what I needed. I'm curious as to what your father thinks you should do. Father's hate to see their sons get bullied around. My dad is a firm believer in non-violence like myself. He thinks I should say something back to them but not fight. Whenever I say shit back I always feel like I'm just becoming a bully too. So I end up doing nothing about it but just sitting there knowing theres is coming to them.

iluvgeddy05 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 QUOTE (gleamingalloyaircar81 @ May 13 2008, 09:44 PM) Thing is they didnt directly physically threaten me. They just said they would "do stuff to him til he kills himself." I dont know if that could still be considered a threat. You're damn right that's a threat. They don't have to be specific with what they are going to do to you. Any statement that goes like this: "We are going to do stuff TO YOU UNTIL....[insert whatever the outcome is here]" is a threat.

Well all I can say is that by saying something back to them does not entail you being a bully. You are just defending yourself. And they want you to say something back to them. They want to know that what they are doing is aggravating the shit out of you. Don't report them like some of the other posters have suggested. That will only make it worse plus you don't want to be known as a "rat." If you are afraid to physically confront them, then take this suggestion: Have a couple of drinks before class to loosen you up. Buy a flask or something and keep it in your bag. Do it on a day when you wake up and don't give a shit about anything and feel empowered to retaliate. Like a few others have said, once you confront them and call them out, they will back down. Trust me, in general, most do not want to fight for fear of getting their ass kicked. Plus you would gain a certain level of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things that have been done go beyond simple bullying. The creation of the webpage goes to show that these bullys spend a lot of time thinking of ways to torment GAAC. I agree that you usually don't want to report every little thing but this goes way beyond what is "acceptable or normal" teasing.

Tick Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I said in an earlier post should always stand up for yourself against a bully, and i do feel this is a good course of action to make the problem go away. However the landscape in this evil world we live in is changing dramatically from when i was younger. There are groups of derilicts banding together with a mob mentality to cause trouble. They are a bunch of low self esteem losers who are lost in life. You do need to be carefull when dealing with a group of people, and not just one bully. I certainly do not want to offer up advise that would cause you great harm. Be carefull how you handle these kids, and make sure there are adults aware of this situation. I trully feel very sad that you have to deal with this crap in life, when you should be enjoying your youth without this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalorian Hunter Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 If these bullies are cowards deep down, they'll be more afraid of authorities being involved than getting a bloodied nose. A fight is nothing, but once you get the higher authorities in the school involved, which could lead to police, that's alot more frightening. Hope things are getting better with you though, GAAC.

But seriously reporting it, unless one has concrete proof, is going to backlash. More than likely the school authorities will brush it off making it worse in the long run. Plus if you go around in life taking that option, you will always find yourself running instead of confronting situations. Sorry to say, I despise it when people go and tell on others instead of confronting the individual(s) first. I see it all the time even now in my adulthood. Those people who do that deserve what their getting. Gleam take it from someone who was bullied in high school because of his height and his last name (which actually means "f**k" in Spanish and I grew up in Miami). Never once did I go and tell, I faced the situation and either laughed it off or told the person(s) to go f**k themselves...it never resulted in punches being thrown because people knew that I wasn't afraid to stand up for myself.

Sorry, maybe I've heard of a few too many incidents like this that went to far. Maybe throwing a punch was different pre-internet where you met outside the schoolyard after school to have a fight with the whole school watching, but sh!t is different now and takes a whole new angle -- one that ends up going too far many times.

Buy a flask or something and keep it in your bag. Do it on a day when you wake up and don't give a shit about anything and feel empowered to retaliate. Like a few others have said, once you confront them and call them out, they will back down. Trust me, in general, most do not want to fight for fear of getting their ass kicked. Plus you would gain a certain level of respect. Man, I really hope this was a sarcastic suggestion. He is 17 & still in high School and I am pretty sure drinking is still illegal in High school. The things that have been done go beyond simple bullying. The creation of the webpage goes to show that these bullys spend a lot of time thinking of ways to torment GAAC. I agree that you usually don't want to report every little thing but this goes way beyond what is "acceptable or normal" teasing. Standing up to A bully is one thing, but it sounds like there is a group of them that gang up on him. There is a big difference confronting one person as opposed to a group. When there is a group tormenting someone and then they take trouble to create a webpage dedicated to tormenting him it goes over a boundary and the school authorities should be made aware. You got it right Digi. Its not just one person its about 5 main kids doing it and about 10 others just joining in and adding occaisional comments. And even if I did want to fight them I wouldnt be able to. The main 5 kids are the football teams Offensive Lineman and 2 Linebackers. Im an average guy at 5'11 140 pounds. So they're like the jocks, except they're assholes and cowards? That's even more of a shame.... keep on a-truckin' gleaming! Yep. Theyre fricken huge too. Boy, they sure are some tough dudes. . .5 of them to whip one "average" guy. My, what big, strong, studly fellows they are. Such a contribution to society. I hope whatever performance-enhancing crap they take leaves them sterile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not telling the guy to get completely sloshed and go crack some heads open. It was a suggestion to take the "edge" off. If you are serious, then you are a moron. You're telling a minor to have a few drinks while at school and then confront (and possibly get in a fight with) the bullies. Yeah, good plan. At the least he'd get suspended & probably get put on some kind of disciplinary probation.
