fuck me
it's been an hour or so and I'm already traumatised by the new qotw.

There's some nasty tales of bullying, but some of the revenge is pretty chilling.

I'm in two minds
If I'll read much this week.

...it's a harrowing subject to read, I think I'll be using /all to weed out the more difficult posts.

nice to see someone use the word "harrowing" though
perfect for the task

Whilst it is indeed an apt epithet
it always calls to my mind a 'comedy Chinaman'

'Harrow evweebodee!'

:/ Same here. There's some horrible things.
It's not going to be a week for happy tales I think. I'm also not too sure wether I realy want to dust off the memories from my wonderful time at school. At least we haven't had any tales of anyone being bullied to suicide yet. Give it time though. I might put aside a pack or two of prozac in case I read too many of these.

*Rocks back'n'forth as memorys, that if happened outside of school, would be considered "assault [with a weapon]" come flooding back.
I think I'll give this one a miss.

Can't say as I blame you Mr Gonz
This QOTW is in dire need of irreverent humour.
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Wed 13 May 2009, 14:28, Reply)

They could do one about meeting people on the internet.
They'll be a whole bunch of "I meet 100 naked lesbians who all wanted to have sex with me and my pubeless body" and the "Everyone I've meet from the internet is a CUNT, haha, see you tuesday guys.", but there probably are a few interesting stories there.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:36, Reply)

I'll not post too many.
the massive one I posted was a very brief summary considering everything that's happened.

I think I have a few funny "get one up on the bullies" tucked away but I don't know. Sorry if I made you want to go jump.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 13 May 2009, 14:29, Reply)

your tale does suck
and being still stuck there makes it worse obviously. Once you are out of there things will be much better. Hang in there.

Most disturbing have been the delayed revenge ones though. There was a bit of child-abuse revenge, which I can understand at least, but some of the others chill the blood a bit.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:33, Reply)

yup
read that one - made me shudder.

Some very nasty stuff. This week is going to be pretty grim.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 13 May 2009, 14:40, Reply)

it certainly is
a lot of the questions we get like this make me feel a bit weird in that I never had any real problems as a youth, family is all fine, no bullying etc.

worst I had to deal with was being kind of fat.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:42, Reply)

Yeah, no stories for me this week. Again.
Didn't get bullied at school.
There is a guy I bully at work, but it's not that funny. Or interesting.
That's about it.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:42, Reply)

I'm not scared of you.
Because I know that I'm better than you.
So if anything, I'm bullying you with my existance.
( Cawl, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:44, Reply)

delusion
because I know that you're not better than me, and deep down you know it too.

so really the roles which you laid out there are reversed.

you're the taker in other words.

Yeah, I think i'll stay at "off topic" for the next week.
or do some work.
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:45, Reply)

all of these stories make you wonder where the so-called authorities were.
I was little in school and bigger lads usually threw their weight around but I never hesitated to go to the school principal and get the fucking geebags expelled.

Does that make me a snitch?

Do you think I care?

Fucking pricks.

I'm probably paying most of their doles, mind you.

Trouble is
For every school like yours with a decent anti bullying policy, there's ten that just like to pretend that it doesn't happen so the school looks good to perspective parents. Then you get to add snitch and grass to the various greivences the entire class holds against you.
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Wed 13 May 2009, 14:57, Reply)

to be honest, the level of bullying, at least in the media has increased tenfold in recent years -
I may be showing my age but the principal of my schools' 'bullying policy' was to beat seven shades of shite out of the bullies, at least in little school.

In big school, they were expelled, full stop - never come back again.

You want to attract prospective good students? - Tell them that.
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Wed 13 May 2009, 15:00, Reply)

Yep.
It'd do wonders for all areas of schooling, not just bullying if headmasters where allowed to actualy expell kids. At the moment it's very hard to get a kid chucked out unless they actualy stab someone or set fire to the school. And even then.....
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Wed 13 May 2009, 15:05, Reply)

that's fucked
Talk about teaching them impunity for their actions...

It's exactly this kind of measure keeps the prison system full, wouldnt you say?
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Wed 13 May 2009, 15:19, Reply)

I don't know about the prison system as such,
But yes, it certainly doesn't help that we're raising kids in an enviroment where there's no concrete consequences for their actions. It seriously isn't doing them any good. It must come as quite a shock when they hit the real world.
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Wed 13 May 2009, 15:23, Reply)

Urg. I posted my tale.
I thought it'd be cathartic, but to be honest I'm just angry again now. Hrm. Think I'll have a cigarette and try to think of a bullying related pun!

A somewhat grim pearoast, but fitting.

( girlinthehole, Wed 13 May 2009, 15:30, Reply)

I've posted
But it's a story of one of the very few times I managed to avoid being bullied. I've suppressed most of the other memories.
