How did YOU deal with dickheads making your life miserable, we've all likely encountered one or two?

I remember back in high school if someone bullied me a punch up was inevitable. Just cause a mad ruckus show 'em you're not scared and try and land a few good punches. It show's 'em you're not scared and can put up a fight, it was my old man's advice.

I took it literally, had a guy who was bullying me on the bus, he was fifth form I was a fresh new third former. Lasted for about a month, name calling etc.

One day he got off at my bus stop and kneed me on the hip and pushed me into the ground. Kids on the bus were (mainly his mates on the back seat) were laughing. Next day I took 1L of week old yoghurt and a cricket bat, but I found out he went off for a week long soccer tournament. Kept bringing the yughurt and the cricket bat with me everyday for another week and bang one day he was getting on the bus. This time I got off at his stop. He knew immediately something was up. Name calling starts and threats etc, I take the cricket bat and I stared running after him! I was still fuming from what he did a week before. He got scared and started running away, I caught up quickly and ankle tapped him with the cricket bat and he fell down pretty hard. Put my shoe on the back of his neck and took the 1L of "green/yellow" yughurt and drowned his face and school uniform with it. Told him if he keeps fucking with me I'll set him on fire next time (don't know where that came from but it felt good). He never bothered me again... ever.

I found out this guy is a cop now in Wellington. Saw him in a mall with his girlfriend and there was a bit of eye contact but he looked away.


Fucking bullies, although they help you in a way find out how to treat assholes. I heard for women bullying is much more severe, all the psychological shit they do one another...

Watch out. Some people on here think gangs are ok. And that we should morn for dead gang bikers because they ride motorbikes.

I grew up with bullying at school from all sorts of different people (including teachers).

Standard punishment for bullies should be a steel toe to the mouth.

Make it difficult to spout shit after that.

I read that article earlier today and it sparked a bit of a 'discussion' here at work. Almost everyone had a story to tell but in each case the bully was dealt with pronto and the situation really WAS resolved.

In this particular case the school say that they have spoken to the student(s) involved and as far as they are concerned its all ok.

FFS. Its obviously NOT OK and since when is the word of a bully to be taken at face value?

Seems to me that the school teachers/headmaster/whoever the hell is supposed to be giving a damn about the pupils should bloody well grow a set of balls cos by doing next to nothing they are enabling the bullying to continue.

After being attacked in public by groups of bullies from my school on two separate occasions I now hate meeting new people and suffer from mild agoraphobia. Big groups of people make me quite anxious so I'll do anything to avoid meeting large groups of new people at once. It makes partners work Christmas parties and the like very difficult. Public swimming pools scare the shit out of me, I tell people because I'm scared of germs and child piss but it's more likely the above to be honest.

All of my kids are and will be well trained in how to handle and defend themselves. They will have my blessing to unleash on anyone bullying them or anyone else for that matter but by Christ if I find they've been tormenting some poor nerd similar to what their dad was, there'll be hell to pay.

As long as you don't smack them!

not likely to happen as there is an endemic culture of management bullying of staff in the education sector so they really don't know how to do it any different.

Managers cant help themselves they just need a good kick in the ass from the union every now and then.

Sounds like the principal has his head in the sand. It's bound to escalate and will probably end badly. :-(

My daughter has been bullied before, by boys and girls. With the girls it was psychological, so I told her to be mentally stronger and just ignore them, they're just looking for a reaction. With the boy it was physical so I told her to knee him in the nuts.

Both times the school didn't really do stuff all, the bullies just deny it and if no one else see's it, they take their word for it.

I think as a parent you have to educate your children about bullies. Tell them the best way to avoid trouble, is to walk away. When that is not an option and you know you're going down, hurt them as much as you can.

My son was getting bullied, came home from school a couple of times in tears. Spoke to the scholl about it twice, but nothing was ever done, it kept happening.

So I sat him down and explained to him that next time it happens thump him. Under no circumstances will I tolerate you starting it, never hit a women, and never bully other kids.

Three weeks later I got the phone call from the school, turns out he was getting picked on in the school grounds at lunch, so he thumped him then ran away. They found him hiding in a class room. Princepal said to me when I got there that they dont tolerate violence, and the parent of the kid that natty thumped wanted to lay a complaint. Told her to pull her fucking head in, as it was all ready on record that Nat was getting bullied from this kid.

Nathan was still pretty upset when we got in the car. I just said to him I was proud of him for standing up for him self.... he has never hit any one since, amazingly the bullying stopped to.....funny that. I never encourage violence with my kids, but some times they have to fight there own battles and stand up for them selves.

I got bullied a heap as a kid, due to my awesome lazy eye and my once epic coke bottle glasses
I learned to stand up for myself and not to intimidated by the pricks, went for the throat, problem solved Violence is not usually the answer, but, in those cases it was better than being kicked in the kidneys, glasses being broken etc

[MSTRS:Me]

Violence is not usually the answer...

Then what was the question?

The one constant with bullies is they are almost always cowards too. Which is why when you deal to them in like fashion they leave you alone after, or want to be your friend.

But cyber-bullying is a different thing altogether. I don't know how that is best dealt with. Perhaps a physical smack works there as well (if you KNOW who it is, that is)

Then what was the question?

"Are they my shoes you are wearing?" was a fairly common question in Wainuiomata when I was a kid...

[Crasherfromwayback]

in Wainuiomata when I was a kid...

Funny. I first went to school in Wainuiomata, then Naenae College. Defending yourself was a regular thing!
