I love bullying people

Bullying is just a way people try and think better of themselves. Gives the a feeling of power and superiority when the victim doesn't do anything about it. Even the common friend-to-friend bashing serves the same purpose. It's really not that big of a deal. All it takes is for the victim to stand up and 99% of the time the other person will back off, even regarding the size.

i just think bullies are a big joke chances are there realy like little girls with armour round them

chances are they won be the ones to get an education the kids who are picked n are more likley to get better jobs and such whiel the bullies just waste there time TRYING to look tough and making an ass of themselves

I think Rott is right. =]

I think they bully because they feel a sence of insecurity. They know you are better then them so they do whatever they can to make fum of you and embarras you. I know cause I get bullied every day in school. They make fun of you then try to become friends, and then stab you in the back by making fun of you again, then wanting to be friends.

I think it does satisfy them to bully you, they get alot of props and good comments from their "Friends" saying how well they did.

So you wouldn't mind if i came and stomped all over your face because i think you look ugly? Because that's how it typically works in the school. Odd man out. The victim isn't necessarily physically weak, just psychologically. People see this, and jump the fuck on him/her. I, for one, could probably (keyword PROBABLY) have taken most of the bullies in a fair one-on-one fight, but it so happens that i'm a peaceful person with rather low self-esteem. That, and they would all be too cowardly to take anyone as strong as themselves on face to face. Either ambush or clusterfuck, yes sir.

@Rott: You're right in most things you're saying, but standing up to the bullies didn't work the last 27 times i tried in primary school. The only reason that i got any respect towards the end of that hell was because people matured up slightly, and realized that it was somewhat cool to be intelligent. Or maybe because they were getting bored after several years. Tried all the tricks in the book, no lasting results. Ignoring, raging, telling them off, insulting them back, telling both teachers and parents, you name it.

@Shook

I would mind, but that doesn't make it any less part of a natural occurence.

And when I say "weak", I am referring to all forms of weakness, including physical, social, or psychological ones.

I'd say it does. You'd have to look far and wide to see any non-primate animals bully one another for kicks, and destroying the victims psyche at the same time. Animals fight because they have to, bullies pick on other people because they feel like doing so. There's a big difference to those things. You should also mind that natural is a very elastic term; it might be natural for goats to chew voraciously on anything looking remotely like grass and furiously ram their heads together to establish dominance, but if you saw humans doing the same, you'd likely think that they're completely bonkers.

You're assuming they do it for gratification. I'm saying they do it for dominance, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a pack animal that doesn't partake in what you call "bullying".

Remember me being in one of these groups. I was able to get out before they started to do some actually bullying as I heard that they did a few years after I left.

In this group there was this "leader" if you want to call it that, everyone want to make themself look cool infront of this person, it was this person who always kept throwing fuel onto the fire, no one went against him becuse then they would be attacked by the rest of the group becuse they wanted to get some type of status.

I didn't ever like to be in this group since they valued action over thinking about things, this can be good but not when these actions meant fighting over things, physical fighting.

I once said no to their demands to join them when they went bathing. Then during a few months I was completely frozen out, they didn't talk to me, I was suddenly this "fucking idiot". Go against the group and your social life is fucked, I got dependant on them.

Luckily I had some old friends which I hadn't been speaking to over a few years, better friends.

I still don't understand it, many "members" of this "group" was people I knowned for such a long time, even since I started kindergarten, but they changed so much when this "leader" came. They followed his every move, I think they was to afraid to be left out. I know that the so called leader had major problems at home, maybe he felt he could get some type of dominance in school which he couldn't get at home. I do not know.
