Scratch

Everyone thinks gossip is harmless, but I've been talked about because I wear all black. They think I'm goth, and they've stopped saying that, but when they did say those things about me it really did hurt. The girls in my grade just cannot accept different. They hate my chrome blue doc martens (hard to believe) just because they're not All-stars or Ugg boots.    I'm trying to let it roll right off my back, but the thought that people are making fun of me because I am tall, have acne, and wear Doc Martens at age 11 kind of makes me want to punch someone in the face. Preferably the people who are making fun of me. 

When I got bullied, I hired a Mafia thug to kill them all. Joking.

Fight back.

You have no idea how many times I've been called names, pushed around, spit at, or hit.
I can't take it.
Next ***** who bullies me is going to get hurt. Telling the teachers never helps. It just makes it worse.
Discuss bullying here.

Who becomes hobos?

They do, just think about how they are screwing their own lives.

Same.

Same as in you have chrome blue Docs or that you got teased because you were tall and unpopular and different?

Ignore them, stay away from them, hang out with your own friends, this idiot used to bully me thinking he was cool, cept then i got my mates to start ignoring him then he stopped, he's a bit of a [removed by moderator] still and no one likes him anymore because of that.

Yes, i do - i went to an all boys, Private school - In Australia that's torture, and i went since year 3 to year 7 term 3, pushed around Wait until you get pushed into a brick wall - i lost some memories then (& had a ct scan), spit at Now that's just mean, or hit Kicking the shin hurts more.
I can't take it. Who blames you?  I changed school beacuse of it!   
Next ***** who bullies me is going to get hurt. Yeah, reason i never retaliated.  Broken bones for the bully, weekend detention for me    (in year 2, i deflated a soccer ball by stomping on it[color] Telling the teachers never helps. [color=red] Try getting the teacher to talk to you and the bully at the same time. It just makes it worse. I know, right? It worked better with me there

Bullies, contrary to what adult shrinks think, don't usually feel bad about themselves. That's the problem with counselors and everything. Lots of them haven't been in the situation. Bullies usually pick on people for two reasons; either becuase they are better than the victim in some aspect of life, or they do not like the group the victim stereotypically fits in.
This is why you shouldn't be a sheep. Standing out doesn't attract bullies, it keeps them away. The best way to stop bullying is to not let it happen in the first place.
I'm constantly bullied, but that's because of how easy it is to parody my name. I really think nothing of verbal bullying, because unless somebody's opinion actually means something to me I won't pay attention to it. Sometimes I actually laugh along with them, because it's pretty funny. It gets tiresome, but I really need a lot of time to make a scene and pretend I'm a victim, so I normally don't like to. Especially since adults, as you said, will make a huge deal out of it but in the end there is no real improvement.
The other thing is that when you have public speakers come to talk about bullying, it doesn't work. I mean, I appreciate what they're trying to do beyond belief but it doesn't really help.

Well, I think that was my longest forum post ever. lol

Lots of people don't like me.

It does bother me. A lot.

Bullies just bully people because they want to feel better about themselves. Don't let it bother you, and they will leave you alone. If it gets too violent, don't fight back, but tell someone. If you see someone else being bullied, tell someone.

Surprisingly, I've never been bullied.

...I feel sheltered 

But if a bully did attempt to attack me, I'd:
1. Tell the teacher.
2. If that didn't work, then I'd tell their parents.
3. If  that didn't work, I'm pretty sure bullying is a form of physical abuse, and you can report the bullies to the police. Of course, that might just make them want to get revenge on you...

In my school, everyone wears the same stuff, but I still get picked on alot.

When I was 8, I started fighting back.

The bullies' faces looked like they just caved in.

Now nobody dares to bully me. They tried bullying my friends, but it soon turned out that caved in faces could cave in deeper still.
