Many, many times. I still do actually, it's mostly for my appearance and if they bully anyone else they'll get a straight up smack.
I don't full on blame the way I now am on them, but the shit they say to me and about me is a big reason.
Yes, through out elementary, and it was always someone different, in some different way. Theres this one kid now that makes fun of me for my hours on the game Left 4 Dead 2.... I have 2,172 hours. Keep in mind I've had that game for 5 years and played it nearly everyday.
I didn't get a steel bat, but one day I lost my cool after he destroyed my drawing notebook and kicked his back really hard. He fell on his … moreface and cut his lip. One of the most satisfying moments of my life.
And really, karma got him. Not the "magic" kind of karma, the "be an asshole and see where it gets you" kind of karma. He got expelled from two other schools and ended up working as a bus conductor (I don't know if that's the right expression for it. A guy who doesn't drive the bus, but he works in the bus collecting the passengers' money. I don't know if that's a thing in the USA). Meanwhile, I went to Law School and I'm a lawyer now, about to start my specialization next year
Well, this thread has effectively quelled any intentions I had at reproducing...
Two things suck nowadways, one is that parents will ally… more with their kids against even the teachers, believing their kid can do no wrong, and two is you can't even hit your kids anymore, no matter how much they're acting like little shits. The only thing you can do is call the police, and then half the time the cops just end up beating the kid harder than any disciplinarian parent would and give them a criminal record and potential jail sentence. Because that's so much more productive. That is if they don't shoot the kid.

I got bullied a bit back in 2nd grade, by a guy that- in all honesty-- was pretty fucking intimidating even for his age. But eventually he just forgot about me. I was incredibly thick and naive back then, and every single attempt he made to rile me up just bounced right off me. I basically out-dumbed him.
Then there was this asswipe that kept his sights on me from 4th grade all the way up to... 9th or 10th, I think?
Luckily I didn't have much classes or encounters with the guy, and tried to find the most opportune way to avoid him, or just pay him no attention. Sometimes I'd persuade a teacher to let me go to another room or something to get away from him; the benefits of not being an asshole to everyone I come across, and having a good relationship with almost all of my teachers.
I got royally pissed off at the guy back in 4th grade, and it took every ounce of my being to stop myself from grabbing him by the shirt and just throttling him to the floor. He was standing right in front of me, and I so much wanted to just grab him and smash his face into the nearest blunt object. So, he inadvertently helped teach me restraint... but I'm not thanking him for that, he can still go play hopscotch in a minefield or something,
I was the quiet kid who was cool with pretty much everyone for the majority of my childhood, but I did definitely get bullied here and there. Mostly early on in secondary school, before anyone really had a reputation - come senior year, nobody really gave a damn anymore.
It never really got to me, though. Never really fought back, never really even gave them the time of day honestly. Probably why it stopped. Became known as a bit of a tranquil person, who anyone attempting to bully was probably just an asshat singling someone out for no reason.
I have a couple of spots on my face, which are clearing up and I also cover them with foundation so most of the time you can't see them, but yet it’s basically becoming a human need to treat someone like shit, so I'm not surprised that a couple of flaws got me bullied.
@Abeille I wouldn't hesistate to spit on him and splash water on his face and probably give him a kick, I always humiliate bullies and still do right now.

Bullies usually pick on you because you are smaller than them. That's a fact, I have seen a few very small students (Which is the same age as me) and I felt that they were... lousy, I wanted to pick on them for some reason. But my parents taught me self control.
Bullies are usually wimps. I got bullied a few times before during primary school. I just told them to "piss off" and told the teacher about it. Then they will not dare to bully you anymore.
Your's is truly the iron will, I wish I was that restrained as a kid. I still have the (physical) scar from headbutting my junior high tormentor and the consequences followed me all the way to college.

Edit: That came out way more horrible than I meant it. What I'm saying is that at a certain point simply yelling at your kids or taking away TV time doesn't cut it. And I think it's somewhat hypocritical that we're so horrified when somebody his their kid, yet we allow police officers in schools who sometimes grab these kids and slam them to the ground. I'm certainly not in favor of wailing on your kids or anything more extreme than a spanking or a slap across the cheek.
Original: Of course you can. But unfortunately, physical force is a recourse that sometimes needs to be taken. You give your children love and support, but after a certain time 'oh, gee, you know what you did was wrong, don't you?' simply doesn't cut it anymore. After all, what is law, what is the state? It's all physical force being used to stop people from engaging socially deleterious behavior. We hope to inculcate in our posterity the idea that they be altruistic, or at least abide by the rules necessary to respect the rights of others. We try and inculcate citizenship and morality, the same as we try and inculcate respect for others and altruism in our society/children, but when those do not work, violence has always been a backstop. You want them to act of morality, but when that fails, they need to be made to act out of fear. That's precisely why I'm contrasting parental violence with police violence, because it's an exact parallel to state law. We've somehow condemned the former while being simultaneously permissive of the latter, but a slap on somebody's cheek is going to do far less long-term damage than getting tasered and having a police record. And don't try tell me forcefully putting somebody in a small cell for years on end isn't violence.
Theres this one kid now that makes fun of me for my hours on the game Left 4 Dead 2.... I have 2,172 hours.
It could be worse
You could have 9318 hours of TF2 (100% not me whatsoever)
Yeah. Mostly elementary school and middle school though. Nobody really gave a damn in high school though. I was picked on for a variety of reasons. In elementary school it was just little things. Mainly people making fun of me because I was the shortest kid in the class. In middle school, some kids spread rumors about me that I was gay (I'm not by the way. Not like there's anything wrong with it anyway) And it was all because my voice hadn't dropped yet. Isn't that great logic? I was also very socially awkward growing up and found myself struggling just to have casual conversations with people. I also struggle with ADD and that's resulted in some pretty embarrassing moments in which I didn't know the answer to a simple question in class or if I'm unable to comprehend what people are saying. In high school, I still suffered from these problems (except the voice. It dropped by then), but that's when everyone stopped caring and just did their own thing.
This may sound weird but I am not sure. When I was a second grade, I went to this Mexican school and at first everything went was fine, made some friend,crushes and stuff. But then about few months later my "friends" didn't want to hang out with me and started to make me do stuff I didn't like. Also there was this one time a dentist came to our school and made us brush our teeth and they gave us a liquid which we weren't supposed to drink it but I did anyways cause I didn't understand the instructions and people statred making fun of me for it (including my "friends" and my dump crush) and everything thing I did form forwards. They also called me ugly (I thought I was cute at the time) and other insults which made me scraed to go to school. I never really consider this as bullying at the time because it wasn't like everyday.
Yes. Lots of times. When I was at 2nd grade, I didn't have any friends and I was spending the school breaks alone... And some of my classmates were hitting me, punching me and insulting me. Luckily for me, things got better for me and now I have like 200 friends at school ^-^ As for those bullies, I actually became a friend with them and we left our differences in the past.
Yep, started in my 6th grade. I hated it. I hated the school for it. Then I realized that it was the students that made me hate the school. And of course when I was in high school it continued. I remember in my Physical Fitness class people were throwing stuff at me. People made fun of my name. I was alone for a while. And it all still comes back to me in my memories and dreams. Thank god its all over now. I'm in college now and there are a lot more nicer people there. I have good friends and not once I have been bullied

Those aren't the only passive ways to discipline a child????

I'm honestly not for this unless those children pose a rational threat to the police officer or another student.
I'm certainly not in favor of wailing on your kids or anything more extreme than a spanking or a slap across the cheek.
If a parent did have to take it up to where they needed to use physical force, I wouldn't agree with any face contact. A slap on the wrist or bum should do it, not the face.

Well he is a veteran, so chances are he has gone through hell.
Oh no certainly not. I worked four years with criminal justice (as an intern), not ever again.
whats wrong with your appearance?

That was so satisfying to read. Go you, girl.
I can only picture George as Nate, tbh.
Because you can raise a good kid without using physical force.
It could be worse

I misread your reply. Anyway, I just wanted to say he was not native, thats all. Lol
Same
I'm the talkative kind of guy, whenever someone tries to bully, I crack a joke and all my friends laugh, which sends the asshole off on his way.

I wouldn't let anyone bully me. I won't let it happen.
I'm a strong independent man who don't need no bully.
