Why do kids make fun?

DeafCaroline said:
I cried every day! Then finally in third grade, my brother is who is ten years older than me dragged me into the livingroom and said "you've got to start standing up for yourself. It's ok to fight back." Then he taught me a few moves. If he hadn't given me that pep talk, I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to hit back for I was raised to be a good girl. Gotta tell ya, it felt damn good to hit the biggest meanest bully in the school two grades older than me and knock him flat in one blow after dealing with his cruelty for years. I still smile with satisfaction when i think about it.

Oh, good girls do kick butt. I was picked on as a child because my father was not born in America and had a thick accent. One day I finally had enough of being physically and mentally hurt that I fought the biggest and meanest bully; she was a piece of work. I found out that day that having only brothers and mostly male cousins comes in handy. All the wrestling and fighting against/with them really paid off. I also learned that I had a powerful right hook at the age of 12. No one ever messed with me after that.

But as far as the school situation, I blame the parents. There is no home training about respect for others. That's why there is so much bullying now. No one ever puts theirselves in another person's shoes. This isn't bullying but harrassment and you should contact the authorities to have everything sorted. Good luck and stay safe.
 
you're right about how people don't themselves in other's shoes-
 
Well if "deaf" can be spread like disease, than obviously stupid can too and I think these kids have a serious case of the stupids.

In all honesty though, I think you should speak to your parent and the principle and confront the issue. It's bullying, it's hurtful, it's violent and it's unacceptable and these kids need to know that it's not okay to treat anyone that way. I'm sorry you're having t deal with someone like that.

You got that right! My younger sister had a few friends in grade school then a new girl came to school and my sister became friends with her. All of my sister others friends starting picking on my sister because she became friend with the new girl with the 'big nose' and stopped being friends with my sister.
The thing that was so dumb about the whole was my sister is Jewish but her nose was the 'right' size to be friend with! The new girl nose looked too
'Jewish'! All of this over the size of person nose and something they have no control over. Parents need to teach their kids it is not OK to hurt other kids feelings!

I would go out on a limb and say there is not a person alive that does not have at least one unresolved issue, and the vast majority have many more.

My dad and my brother encouraged me to fight back and I'm glad they did. In grade 3, I was fighting sixth graders and winning. It certainly empowered me and gave me a sense of confidence I didn't have before. and if this meant getting a juvie record or being forced to change to another school, I wouldn't care. There's no way anyone has the right to scare and intimidate me into silent suffering, I won't stand for it. In high school, I developed the stare-down tactic and it was highly effective.

That staredown tactic got me a badly twisted arm in high school. I was certian the guy and five of his friends would beat me if I didn't apololize.

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. I can't believe guys would hurt a girl like that in high school, that's unbelievable. That must have been scary.

A boy who had bullied me al through 7th grade slammed my locker door on my fingers so hard. I ended up with major major bruises on all 4 of them. I didnt tell on him because I had tried before but nothing had been done so I gave up. I lied to my mom saying that I jammed all 4 of my fingers doing something. I will never f***cking forget that day. All because I am deaf. Whatever stupid hearing kids.

The girl you called fat...has been starving herself & has lost over 30lbs.
The boy you called stupid...has a learning disability &studies over 4 hours a night.
The girl you called ugly...spends hours on makeup hoping people will like her.
The boy you just tripped...is abused enough at home.
The girl you call "Jesus Freak"...spends hours in prayer for you.
Post this as your status if you're against bullying!!

Sounds like another cruel bully on the block that just doesn't know how to handle something different to them.

when some people feel threatened, jealous or angry at someone they try to channel it out to make someone else feel worse so they feel better about themselves... making any sense? lol

One day, that one deaf kid he/she just picked on will be that person's boss.
 
yep I went thru same thing back in middle school a idiot hearing kid thought I was a whore.. but everyone got wrong idea and made my 8th grade living hell but at least i gradauted and it's all in past cuz it was back in 1993.. that's when i was like good riddance to union middle school lol.. ;)
 
it is very seems on behavior inappropriate because aggressive and cruel serious frustrated, tell parents or something teacher supervisor strict, because prevent to bully negative because bugging sometimes hurting kids protect to safe risk!

that's ironic... I was one of girls that was called ugly I spend many hours putting on make-up in front of mirror in h.s but now I look pretty with lipstick alone.. ;)
 
smith is right though, talks may seem harmless but some people can get so aggressive with bullying that a kid commits suicide. Better safe than sorry.

You were never ugly. Just some mean spirited insecure bully made you believe you were.
 
One big reason for why people do things like that is because they have this need to make themselves look better. They probably feel inferior in some ways. So, they look for someone someone else to make fun of so. In turn, that someone else begins to feel inferior (or look inferior to everyone else)... making the "bully" look superior.
