Re: What is a bully?
I'm sorry but 'bullying' was a serious issue when I was younger but now it's used so often out of context it has become a joke. For instance, if I tell one of my kids off one of the others whispers (thinking I can't hear) "BULLIED!!!" How can serious issues regarding bullying be addressed when minor incidents are regarded as bullying?
I still don't get it! :confused: |

Where is the line drawn?? How many times as when u were a kid u got told off for tittle tattling/tell taling on someone over a very minor incident of little name calling but then theres a kid with a serious sytematic mental & sometimes violent bullying that says ..nothing nor admits about it, suffering in silence. There must be a line between ?:confused: |

Re: What is a bully?
Being honest with someone about not getting on with them can't be bullying but if someone keeps making the other person's life a misery then that surely is.

Re: What is a bully?
Good thread Tinks.
Sometimes I wonder if it appears as if I am a cyber bully on here. If I think I'm right, and someone else is being rude, or patronising to anyone, I will use everything at my disposal to get the better of that person. Is that bullying? I don't know. Like I'm sure lots of people on here, I could tell you how I was bullied as a child up to about the age of eleven for being a 'puff'. After that I used humour as an armour and it stopped. I realised if people didn't like me, tough titty. Also being 5 foot 11, and built like a brick sh*t house sort of helped. What I'm proud of most in life, is at about the age of 14, I went against my classmates mob rule, and protected, and physically stopped the bullying of other kids. Bullying can take many forms, but to me always shows a weakness on the bully's part. |

i suppose if someone were overwieight and a person repeatedly referred to it for the purpose of belittling them orto make them feel insecure or hurt then yes but if a person were to refer to it once with no intention of causing any hurt (ie just making an observation) then no i guess what i'm trying to say is for it to be bullying there has to be the intent there to cause either repeated physical or mental hurt. |
