Bullying isn't a pleasant experience, but its sort of just part of growing up and can't be avoided. Would I suggest kids go bully others to establish dominance in the social hierarchy? No. However I think sometimes it's beneficial for some kids, it was for me at least. In elementary school being bullied taught me to man up and stop taking shit from people, it wasn't nice to deal with at the time but overall it resulted in me becoming a stronger person. There's situations where others need to intervene though, however in my case it was minor enough for me to handle myself.

So in other words stop being a fuckying crybaby and grow a pair, it'll build character if you can handle it without tattling (unless they're trying to beat you to death or something then yeah man up is the best option).
And for the record I don't condone bullying for the purpose of establishing social dominance, but I do condone handling it as an unavoidable part of life because kids are dicks and people can be dicks.

I wouldn't say it's accepted, but it happens. Not physical though. Just people saying stupid stuff that only insecure morons would be offended by. Like, "You hair ain't on fleek girl" or "You got no shoe game dawg" and the infamous "You're ugly". My friends and I tease one another, so we (especially me) can take idiocy like that.

This is considered bullying now apparently. Not having the same redundant shoes or hair style. Many of them deserve it. They have crappy personalities, annoying, or are seriously awkward.

What's funny is that the type I listed are considered "unique". What's unique about having the same hideous sense of fashion and acting thuggish? Strange.

Yes, to an extent, people should be able to handle criticism and an insult. I was going to therapy for years during school to help with my bullying problem and, honestly, I think that is what every kid really needs more other than the unwise words of stupid kids. Therapy and criticism is acceptable in school, extensive bullying is not. The stupid thing is that kids aren't going to Therapy unless they are being bullied which is bullshit.

I was bullied during school since grade 4, I was the scapegoat in every social situation and the only one in the grade to get bullied. It was so bad my whole grade had to get counseling: we had three Therapists and a Councillor to talk to every kid about their problems it went on for days.

Just on my last month during school I was relocated by Child Services. I contacted one of my friends in primary school just after my graduation and she told me that everyone thought I killed myself (and joked about it lol) - the teachers tried to get contact with my mother, who refused to talk and they had no idea what was happening. Sometimes, I wonder if they believe I'm dead.

@NostalgiaJazzAdmirer were you bullied as a child? Would you care to share your experiences? We're all friends here.

IDK is it like how disagreeing with somebodies opinion on the internet is now 'trolling'?

I mostly got into verbal fights where I gave as good as I got. There was really only one instance where I was bullied by somebody who had the upper hand (because the person was at least 1.5 years older than me). It was by this girl who looking back, was really fucked up & I wasn't her only 'target'.

In my experience the easiest way to deal with bullies is to immediately stomp the shit out of them. Any means necessary. Bullies like to bully, not fight. You hand them their ass back to them once or twice and they'll leave you be.

Please don't threaten @NostalgiaJazzAdmirer with physical violence on my behalf, I appreciate you standing up for me but I think I can dig deep and find the strength to cope with this on my own.
