Member Advice on Bullying

I have decided to give the toy reviews a little rest and concentrate on something completely different. I am going to give a bully's view to bullying and yes I know I may get some stick from certain members but I was a bully in more ways than one whilst at school and it was only when I left school that I realized the damage I had caused. Firstly I feel it is important that you understand the up bringing I had from a young age as I believe this contributed ...
...bear with me as I try and let you into my mind. Please read this entire review as it is important to see where I began and ended up to fully understand my purpose in writing this review. In two parts the first my home life the second the flip side whilst attending school. The Life Of Bazzaoleary77 At Home ---------------------------------------------- My life began on a sunny summer afternoon at a grubby South London Hospital in Lewisham on the ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

Why is it still happening? Bullying is something that people can be a victim to, no matter of their age it happens in schools and in adult life too. Why do people feel they have the right to make you feel bad/unhappy, does this make them feel good? I was bullied in secondary school, by my supposedly friend who thought she was being funny and craved attention from others by making me look stupid! She was nice to me at times and I used to spend a lot ...
...must think I'm mad - well I probably was. She was quite cruel and manipulating which is probably the reason why I stayed at her house quite often. Although when I was at her house she was fairly nice to me, it was only at school in front of other people where she liked to be cruel and would get our friends to join in with her nasty games. I have always been a happy person and an outgoing person; I was a little shy in secondary school because there ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

...that stars such as a member of Linkin Park and Scissor Sisters have come forward with their stories of bullying; it really helps to see people that kids look up to say they were bullied. I think the beat bullying video featuring many popular stars really brought the point across that it's unacceptable but it also shows those who are bullied that they are not the only ones. I've recently seen a feature on Blue Peter about bullying, this shows that ...
...help stop bullying at its roots. I think that schools need to look at building strong and more effective anti-bullying policies, I realise that many schools (mine included) claim to have an anti-bullying policy, but when it comes to practice, either they don't have one or they don't have an effective one. Note: When leaving reviews on sensitive topics such as bullying please try to be sympathetic, constructive criticism is not a bad thing but please ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

I don't even remember how it all started now; it is as if it had always been there like a huge weight on my shoulders pushing me further down, sinking, trying to escape but never managing to. If you met me now you would never know it, I am full of life and confidence, I get on with every one I meet and generally look on the bright side of life. Don't be fooled, underneath I still hurt and try to understand why I was bullied. Who are Bullies? Bullies ...
...easy to spot one. I myself was a bully; I picked on friends and pushed them aside when I was under pressure from others to do so. Even though I didn't want to be I was a bully. Quite often bullies are victims as well; they maybe being bullied by a parent, sibling or another child and as a way of venting that anger they intern bully someone else. Who are the victims? Just as you can't pick out a bully you can't pick out a victim either, anyone could ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

This is not an easy thing for me to write, so please bear with me on this. I have never been a very strong person, but I am a very forgiving person. It all stems back to my childhood, so what better place to start than there. I was a really happy little child, I loved school, Infants school was a doddle, I was always getting into trouble always the loud child. The annoying little brat that you see winding up their parents in the supermarket now. ...
...was. It all started when I went up to junior's school. It was a brilliant school, the teachers were so friendly and kind, I loved going to school. but I changed within a few weeks, I went from the loud obnoxious child to the quite shy type that got on with their work and never got into trouble. I was basically a "teachers pet". The first year went by with no problems, but then suddenly a girl in the year above me took a dis-likening to me. She would ...

It started when I joined high school A few names here and there. Lanky, beanpole, big nose, ugly How could they say those things to me? I was quiet shy an introvert Why did they single me out? The names and words kept on coming I just wanted to give them a clout Eventually the name-calling got worse and worse I felt just like I was cursed I admit I was tall and looked different But there was just no need for their words Bullying is part ...

Deep inside I wanted to show my heartache With the deepest hope that someone would care They made me feel such an embarrassment I knew deep inside I would not share Bullies made me feel you're worthless That you don't matter whatsoever That you are ugly inside and out God they think they are so clever. Name calling punch in the face No matter the time or ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

For years upon years now I have been bullied. Of course it hurts to be called names but anything beyond that is even worse. I have to admit that before last week, I never use to get hit or shoved. It was always just verbal abuse used on me which is obviously a lot easier to deal with than physical. I don’t believe that people realise at the time just how much pain and misery they are causing to a persons life when bullying them. In this op I am going ...
...is enough for others to realise just how serious this issue is. Thursday morning, another boring day ahead of me at school. After I was washed and dressed, I sat down to my breakfast in front of the TV. Nothing out of the ordinary, I just thought it was another typical weekly day, which it was – at that time! Walking to school with Christine we had the usual chit chat and as we entered the school gates, the day had begun. At the time I never knew ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

~~~*Intro~~~* Now its a common knowledge that bullying in schools occur everyday and that measures have been taken to try and stop this from continuing. You can even buy blue wrist bands to show your support to 'Beat the Bullies' but what happens when its not in the playground? What if it was in the work place and you can't go and tell a teacher? What if you can't even go and talk to your boss about the abuse your suffering.........because its your ...
...I got there*~~~ Last March I was just getting ready to do the last couple of months of work for my A levels. I'd worked hard for the last 18months, had filled my UCAS form out and was getting ready for uni. I think looking back now that was the problem I wasn't sure what course I wanted to do and because I wasn't 100% something clicked in my brain one morning and I just didn't want to go! It really was that simple, I woke up and thought I can't ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

...the real bullying started. Another member of staff (who we think was close to some sort of episode) started to pick on Rebecca, myself and a couple of other members of staff. I dreaded coming into work. Home life wasn't much better, my then boyfriend expected me to wait on him hand and foot even though he got home from work over an hour before I did and went to work over an hour before he did. He was constantly niggling at me. I was so happy when ...
...replace it straight away. I could escape to the laundrette for some peace and quiet. I looked forward to the nights he was out, yet came to dread his footsteps on the stairs when he came in drunk. He helped himself to whatever he wanted out of my purse. I felt like things were spiralling out of control. I couldn't talk to my family about it. They hadn't wanted me to move said 'it felt wrong' and that I 'belong here'. I wasn't on great speaking terms ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

I'll get it out of the way at the beginning - I was bullied. Quite badly actually. But there we are - sh*t happens. It all started when I was 8. We were friends. Good friends. She used to come round to mine, I used to go to hers, we'd go swimming, make dens and generally be little girls together. It wasn't just her and me; there was a whole group of us. We really did have a laugh, as eight year olds do. One day it changed, she changed, and with ...
...to anyone, which made me feel silly if wanted to tell a teacher. Little snide comments, about how ugly I was, how no one liked me, how she thought my mum was a cow and dad was gay. It was all a bit upsetting. She spread rumours about me, telling people that I wet the bed (which was not true, but eventually happened as a result of all the bullying) I had nits, I stank, I'd said this about someone, I'd done that to another. I was made to feel like ...

...organisation's paperwork for each individual member (medical stuff as well). Now this organisation has more than 300 members who were going away so as you can imagine, there was a ton of work to be done to make sure everything was in order. Now my husband was not the only clerk at this unit, in fact there were several who could have helped, but when he asked for help, he was told just to knuckle down and get on with it, especially if he wanted a ...
...tasked with training a new member of staff, helping another with work she needed to do before she went on a course, and doing 3 other jobs at the same time. I must stress at this point that the 3 other jobs were actually jobs given to people 2 grades higher than my husband is, so he was actually doing work he was not trained to do. I was being told by his hierarchy (at social gatherings) that he was doing such a fantastic job and would more than ...

Review of Member Advice on Bullying

This is my story, of the abuse I suffered and the lengths someone would go to to make my life a living hell. It took me to the brink of suicide, yet after deciding that I couldn’t let this person effect my life, I did something about it………. ~~~~~~~~~~ Imagine the torment of knowing that when that bell went in 10 minutes, you would be in for a period of pain and self-hate, knowing that you would be left far from happy and extremely depressed. That’s ...
...looking at the clock, hoping that the handles would stop and the fear go away, but it never did. Why I was the target is something that still puzzles me, yes I wasn’t the most physical and I didn’t put myself about, but I was far from unpopular and had a likeable persona that generally rubbed off on the people around me. It seemed that one person however, had issues with me that ran deeper than any personality ever could, taking offence to anything ...

MY EXPERIENCE. Before i go any further, this is really the first time I've shared my experience in this matter with anyone, I've really kept it to myself, afterall i dont wanna really share horrible things like this with others. At the time i couldn't see a way out of this situation, luckily things worked out OK in the end. and nothing too serious happened. SECONDARY SCHOOL. Things all started for me at secondary school, aged 13/14, it wasn't ...
...taunting, trying to get you to retaliate and throw the first punch. Sometimes this cant be the worst form of abuse tho, it started off with the odd taunt, but then seemed to get worse and worse. Looking back now, and knowing what i know now, its dawned on me that this behaviour is very childish and silly. Having a laugh and taking the Mickey out of your mates is different, they know you dont really mean it, and that its just a laugh and a joke, ...

When most people think of bullying, the playground is the first thing that springs into most peoples minds. Although it is now becoming more recognised so many people are being bullied every day in thier homes and places of work in so many different ways. Domestic violence is a form of bullying, and by this I don't just mean the physical beatings I mean the scars left behind long after any (if any) physical scars have dissapeared. I write this ...
...mine was from my own parents, mainly my mum (not that she deserves such a title). I recall being told as a young child that I wasn't wanted, being chased up the stairs with a knife, being locked in my room for days with hardly anything to eat, having an asthma attack and being told that I would have to wait until their favourite programme had finished before I could be taken to hospital. As you can imagine I no longer talk to my parents but even ...

Ever felt like you to have no where to turn? Enclosed in yourself with only you and a diary to write to. Feel like you world you live in will reject you for who you are? Would wonder who you might meet, how you will turn out, what would your parents say.... I felt like this all the time I was a teenage gay. My Story. At the age of 12 I started questioning myself. I didn't tell anyone my feelings because I didn't know myself. I always took part ...

Bullied because my voice hadn't dropped, I didn't start puberty till I was 15 and most of all because I 'SEEMED' gay. 'Choir-boy, batty, queer, poofter, gayboy, arse bandit'. They were just some of the names. My brother occasionally joined in however he would follow like a sheep so to ...
