Is bullying normal?

What do you think of bullying? Do you think it is the norm? Do you think it is bad? I was a victim of bullying. It was no fun and if anybody has been a victim of bullying plz give me some answers on how to resolve the problem of bullying (without using violence plz)

Without over analyzing bulling; bullies are usually jerks, insecure, and show offs. Hopefully it is a phase they are going through and will grow out of it. The only answer to confronting a bully is to either ignore them (hard); or stand your ground. Trust me, sometimes it still doesn't stop them, but you aren't alone. Best of luck, peace.

well dear defending yourself isnt violence and most of the time if u stand up to a bully they will stop or if u hit em back they stop. they need someone weak not someone strong so sometimes u have to knock the he ll out of one to get em to stop i never been bullied really and really never bullied i just know from seeing it

I'm sorry but I'm afraid there is no non-violent resolution. It's best to give as good as you get, with a bully!

Either ignoring or full face confronting.

Bullying is just evil and comes from insecurities from others.

i think people feel the need to bully other people for attention or when they have a big problem and they need to take it out on someone.Im sorry to say the best way to stop a bully is to stand up to them and fight back....or you can also try talking to them when they are alone that way they wont have the need to show off in front of other people.

i was bullied all through school and my only regret is that i didn't fight back enough. that's the only thing that got adult attention and caused the bullying to stop. violence. but go you.. keep turning the other cheek. just remember, all the time you are being bullied, it may not hurt too much, but it is time you are NOT doing other things, such as socializing and learning how to have good relationships, and when you get into college or graduate from it, you will be at a disadvantage because everone else has been socializing and you were getting bullied. don't dismiss violence. it is the only language bullies understand. and often, it is the only way to get enough attention from the adults around you for them to interfere and do something.

I think bullying needs to stop. It should never be tolerated. I was also bullied. It's bad because the effects are long-term. I haven't seen any of the feelings I've had go away. They are always there ingrained in my memory. There was a period where I would just cry (at night, alone). I'm a sensitive person.

The best thing you can do is to ignore them. I think they will leave you alone. Look at it as a challenge that you must win.

ya

bullying is never normal. usually bullies are bullying cuz they were bullied as well and it get reversed on them.

i was a victim of bullying as a kid and in high school i turned to be a bully ,thats when i realised its all cuz of what i faced and how much pain it gave to me, so i didnt think of the pain it causes ,i only thought of causing it to get revenge.

i got over it later on and i made best friends with ppl who i bullied cuz i found out that bullying wasnt me, it was only from the pain i had .

its common

but never call bullying normal, it mean and causes other people to feel worthless

no its crazy

Bullying these days is NOT what everyone thinks it is.
i am in middle school, and adults DO NOT GET IT! Sitting down and talking to a kid about not bullying is excactly what they want, because they are getting attention. Thats what its about, attention. In the past 2 weeks, 2 different kids have wrote BOMB THREATS on bathroom walls. What happens next? We walk over to the high school and get REWARDED for doing such a good job. My point, bullies will keep doing it if they get the attention included.

Second, The bullying these days is the "modern bullying". Back in the day when you were actually aloud to hit someone without getting ISS(in school supension) the ideal look for a bully would be big, a little overweight, and scary looking. Today, the bullies are ironically the short and stubby ones. This is because they know that when they bully bigger kids, they can get away with it. For someone to tell on someone for bullying them is not only completely lame, but it gets attention on the bully, which will makethem happy. The only way to deal with bullying these days is

1.Find a good friend or Parent(so you don't get depressed)
2.ignore the bully
3.If it gets out of hand, you might just have to teach them a lesson the old fassion way because then they feel intimidated and stop. HOPE THIS HELPS ALL!!
