Snowballs make people suicide? :byodood:
When I was younger (like 13) some chick would flirt with me heaps via text and I started to kinda fancy her. She then stood me up more than 3 times (me being the kid that hadn't experienced it before). Now it haunts me I feel ashamed and embarrassed that I didn't pick up on it straight away.
There was also another case where a girl pretended to be someone else via text and I became friends with this so called person and said that I kinda fancied said girl. She just laughed at me and insulted me. As well as telling her mates.
I've also been assaulted and insulted heaps of times for no reason. I have a partially dislocated jaw (sometimes it locks in place, hurts when I open and close it or makes a ticking sound) all because some guy decided that he would beat me up.
Oh how I love school.

Especially if it's large and icy.
Why do facepunchers not do anything about bullying? This guy thought it would be funny to smash my friends cookie as we were walking out of the cafeteria doors and I slapped him in the face and stared him eye to eye. All he did was yell "DON'T SLAP ME" shoved me lightly, and walked away. He later joined the football team lol. And guess what? He still can't do shit.
What bunch of assholes.
damn, sounds a lot like me. . .
Holy fucking fuck, October 7th is my birthday.
I've got no sympathy. I felt like shit for most of my school career and had brief suicidal thoughts, but then I dismissed it as incredibly stupid and selfish. It's not my life to take away, it's everyone who cares about you who would be affected.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;21731500]It's pretty sad because his Father blames it on computers and the internet, while I agree the internet makes it worse; it seems as if his Father never tried to be a friend and a man to his son. [/QUOTE]
I disagree with your "internet makes it worse" sentiment. If it wasn't for the online communities I visited throughout the end of middle school I'd probably have offed myself. I didn't have any real friends at the time and the internet was a place where you'd find people who accepted you no matter who you were. Now I run headlong into a pit full of assholes by posting on Facepunch but I'm older.
Just kidding I love you guys

The fuck? Are you gunning for dumbs or something? Of course it's your life. Suicide is hardly the right option but saying that your life belongs to someone else is blatantly wrong.
Ugh. Cyber bullying is even more pathetic than regular bullying because most cases I've heard of cyber bullying, it's really just some random kid who wouldn't usually have the balls/nerve/physical strength/connections to actually abuse someone IRL so s/he feels the need to do it online via internet anonymity. A girl in my year suffered from cyber-bullying for much of her teen life and, as a result of it, has a pitiful level of self-esteem despite the fact that - in terms of smarts and looks - she can knock the piss out of most of the girls in my school. Shit like cyber-bullying, where there's no real way of getting back at the person doing it to you, leads you into frustration and then depression, the results of which, when combined with regular bullying... Well, you read that for yourself on the first page.
Really feel sorry for the kid's parents.

[QUOTE=Black-Ice;21737122]Bullying is worse when you have Autism.
Fucking memories won't leave me.
Lonely for three years.
[I][B]3 fucking years.
[/B][/I]Recently in the years of Late Year 9 up to now in Year 10 I've been a very nice guy.
In year 9 when I was a very friendly guy one day a younger bastard decided "I'll kick water at this faggot because I am a badass".
I snapped. I broke his nose in one hit. I didn't even think one second. Just a big punch to the nose. I think I made him shit himself.
(After hitting him I felt like running up to him and just ripping his face apart. I'm not joking. I felt like killing the bastard because I just snapped)[/QUOTE]
I got Asperger's Syndrome, as does one of my younger brothers, what he and I went through probably wasn't as bad as you bully-wise as usually, from Year 3 onwards, I was just left alone with the occasional jibe thrown at me by snobby kids (went to a private school Years 3-6, don't look at me like that, my dad's always had a decent job but we were always far from well-off) who thought being good at football was everything. As a result of this, when I finally left that shithole (teachers did nothing to help anyone, not just me, students were mostly dicks save for the few friends I made etc.) and moved to Northants, my self-confidence wasn't great to say the least. I barely spoke to anyone in the first few months, not even in class, which, to some, gave them the impression that I was a spoilt kid who didn't work. This got me attention from the wrong sort of people, and, in one place, almost led to what would have been a very one-sided punch-up for me. Eventually, I just learnt to ignore them, as in, barely acknowledged their existence, not even when they were right in my face. Trouble is, these people soon turned their attention toward my younger brother (the one with Aspergers, who might I add, has a more 'severe' case of it than I do), and three years ago, it got so bad, that my brother did something not too dissimilar to what you described in your post, only thing was, that he broke his arm when he punched the guy (no he is not weak, believe me when I say that my brother looks like a twig, but he's got serious strength, I saw him bench-press his bed with no trouble at all one time :v:). I haven't actually asked him about it since then, because the guy who provoked him has now left the school we're at - hell, he even apologised for all the shit he put us through - and I didn't want to drudge up any bad memories.
This post's gone on for quite some time now, and the point I hope I'm getting at here is that when I heard my little brother had 'broken his arm in a fight' (which was what I was told by people at the time of it happening). I was scared shitless, I thought that he'd snapped after all that abuse he'd taken and that after this, someone'd get a gang together and they'd come after him. I realise now that I was overthinking and blowing the situation completely out of proportion, but that didn't stop me worrying at the time. Now, when [i]you[/i] snapped, how did your folks react? Were they worried? Scared? If they were, then, depending on the type of area you live in, they should be. As has been said many, many times before: violence only leads to more violence, and the next time, you'll probably be on the recieving end depending on how well or not that guy you hit takes it. It only makes it worse that you're autistic, maybe I'm overthinking again, but you may have got him into the mindset that all autistic people react at violently to that sort of shit as you do. For all you and I know, he might now be telling all his friends about 'what the autistic kid at school did', granted, he might exaggerate or refrain from mentioning a few facts of the matter, but this will, unless someone comes to their senses, lead to a cycle that probably won't stop any time soon.
Just something to think about.

Good god did I really post all that? Jesus christ, I should've made a thread or something :v:
Why don't people just say fuck it and throw fists? Get beat down or possibly win fight and become hero > Kill self.
I get bullied occasionaly, I just deal with it and ignore them. As long as you have your mates then it'll all be ok.
Most, if not all people have been bullied at one point in their lives. You just got to remember your better than them. You've got better shit to do than hang around getting crap from them tbh.
Sometimes it's not that simple of course.

Yes but after awhile of getting called that, you start to question your own sexuality. That's when problems start.

Some people just can't handle it, i got throught the stage of bullying by being modest and keeping to my good friends. Eventually though i snapped and finally retaliated in the last month of my compulsory education (the bullying was over a period of 3 years). No one said anything after that. I think the fact that i put up with 3 years of it was due to the fact that i was modest and had self-control. To be honest i could honestly say that i fit the British stereotype of "Strong sturdy oak", i find it hard to talk about emotions now. Bullying seems to have affected me, but for better or for worse i don't know. I feel really sorry for the kid, a polish lad hung himself here a few months ago too, it's an unessecary waste of life.
It's horrible to hear about these stuff, especially since the kids are usually 12-15 years old who commit suicide. When you're in puberty you're developing your mind, your personality and everything around you is there to form you. Kids at these ages are extremly vulnerable and if you're bullied in this period your confidence and self-esteam will be extremly low, you start to hesitate on yourself and your place in the world, your mind breaks down and you suicide. People who say stuff like "He should have punched those fuckers in the face like a man" probably don't know the situation. Suicide is not something really natural, it's not something you do cause you're just having a bad day or getting a few insults, it's because you're breaking down, you're losing your mind. You don't see a way out, you start thinking you're not good enough to live, you're a freak, and you suicide.
Theses sort of stories are supposed to put off the douchebags that do this, but I know people who are inspired by this and try harder to actually force them to suicide, which sickens me.
This story kind've relates to me because I myself, am a late bloomer, and sometimes gets picked about it. But nothing really happens because everyone in my entire school knows me, because from what others say, I'm really funny and doesn't really give a shit what others say. If its cyber bullying, then they don't have enough Testostorone to speak infront of the person because they know they're going to get their ass beaten. And rumors are basically the same but seriously, only girls do this and giggle and what not...
These stories make me feel sick. I used to hang with the "cool kids" back when I was in middle school myself, and some of my "friends" used to pick on this lonely Asian guy in our class. I never bullied him with words or physically myself, but I was part of the crowd that watched and did nothing.
Fortunately, those people are no longer my friends. But I still feel shame when I think of my school years.
I get bullied in school for being over-emotional. I fucking hate it, because I can't do anything about myself. I have a few friends and one of them is a very good one, standing up for me. I've been suicidal too, but you, Facepunch, have kept me in a positive mood most of the time.
I haven't "snapped" yet, but I feel that it isn't too far from happening. I really wish there was something I could do to stop myself from crying so easily.
Another thing that has kept me from losing my mind is music. I like to write and play music, and I can play a few instruments quite well. I'm not surprised that most of the songs I listen to are aggressive. I've never actually been bothered by internet bullying, but then again, I usually try to be anonymous so that I would be liked instead of being bullied.
I love you Facepunch. You've saved my life.
Edit:
This song really describes my life.

I've seen a film on this in my guidance class.
The boy who called him gay bullied him, became his best friend, then bullied him again.
Rough.
Never kill yourself, you have so much to live for, even if your school years are tough.
