Neither bully nor bullied. I know it has to do with the region. As far as hispanics go, at 6'1, I'm one of the bigger ones here in the valley. I was always tallest in my classes. I can't imagine that AB would be bullied down here in the valley except by older kids. When I met him when he came down to my neck of the woods, I remember he was not the type I would expect to be bullied. I think I still have a picture of us chilling after the show.
I guess it likely depends on the location, high school, and times. Clear Lake High School in the 80s was a breeze...at least while I was there. I can't recall anyone I would consider to be the bully or the bullied. That's not to say it didn't happen. I just wasn't aware of it. Most everyone knew most everyone cause they all grew up going to the same schools and had their own little clicks. We had some bad seeds but they were usually just getting themselves in trouble for some reason.
I have never been bullied at school. And I haven't bullied anyone either though I could have if I wanted to - many guys feared me. I was a guy that basically decided at any given time who I wanted to hang out with - the 'cool' ones or the dorks. As far as the replies in this thread, Hayesfan's would be my closest when talking about sports. People actually refused to guard me when playing basketball.
Growing up there were times I was bullied and times when I was the bully. In my neighborhood we used to get into fights, with each other, a lot and that carried over to school. I remember in elementary school there were a few bullies, usually Nelson Muntz types, who tried picking on me but I beat them up. In middle school I adopted a crazy persona, that generally discouraged people from picking on me and I also happened to reach almost my full height at 13. In high school I wasn't particularly popular and while a few people picked on me I found it annoying but not particularly bothersome. Looking back I'm less bothered by the few instances where I was bullied but feel bad about the times that I was the bully particularly a verbal bullying of kids who weren't very bright or attractie.
Neither. There was only one time in middle school, some new girl on the bus and her cousin. They kept throwing paper balls at my head, then when I turned around they ducked or acted like they were talking. I ignored it cause I was in danger of being kicked out of school (too many write ups). My friends wanted to kick their asses but I refused to let somebody else get in trouble for me. This went on for like a week, until I got fed up, turned around and yelled "GROW SOME BALLS and do something to my face." LOL Never happened again. Later on I became friends with the cousin and I asked her why they did that. She said her cousin thought I was stuck up so she didn't like me...
Neither. I got along with most everyone and still do. It rarely pays to have enemies. That's a lesson I teach to my son, who's nature is similar to mine.
That reminds me of a girl in 6th grade that a lot of guys made fun of. I said to myself at the time they won't be doing that in 2-3 years. Needless to say, her body changed quite a bit and those same guys were slobbering over her.
The only time I got bullied was on this website named clutchfans.net, my hatred for T-Mac made these guys pick on my gramer and speling.
Yeah, I got bullied in high school some. I was a small asian kid, 5'8" and 125 lbs, not very athletic. Once I got to college everything was okay. I got up to 5'8.5" and bulked up to about 175 lbs. Recently I started taking kickboxing classes to get fit. I discovered I have good hand speed, and a lot of power for my size. I wish I had discovered that 20 years ago
I was neither. Oddly enough I was always extremely small, and lightweight growing up, but I was full of confidence, and like others, used humor to avoid trouble. I got along with most groups. For some reason I was always looking for chances to stick up and help kids who were being bullied. I think I watched Zorro and Robin Hood a million times growing up, and so I loved the idea of helping folks.
I bullied a few dorks around, but probably helped them out in the long run by highlighting their social awkwardness. On a different style of "mental bullying", probably my most entertaining bullying was at Rice, when the Indians and Chinese would get so worked up about how they did on tests, and before they knew how they did I'd claim to have spoken with the professor who said the average was verrrry low, but I did pretty well. LOL that sent them up a wall.
*Bang!* i just killed a make-believe dog through the internet. i guess you're gonna go into depression now.
Yes li'l t, We all know you're really, really not socially awkward, like those other dorks. This reminds of the classic thread in which assured everyone that you get laid "plenty". Really. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=88564&page=1&pp=20&highlight=bigtexxx
