Bullies
I was an unpopular kid at school. No, I wasn't a cunt, I wasn't annoying, I was just shy. I kept my head down, got on with stuff and generally tried to stay out of trouble. But I was quiet and wouldn't fight back. THAT'S why I was unpopular.

So a lot of the posts on this QOTW really bring back some bad memories for me. Like the time someone came up behind me and smacked me over the head, sending me to the ground. As I got up and walked away with what was left of my dignity I heard someone say "He deserved that!". Cunts.

Stealing my shoes was always popular, for some reason. Almost every DT lesson seemed to end with me being shoeless.

The one I was most impressed with though is the time I went out of the classroom, foolishly leaving my bag unattended. (Imagine that, eh? There I was thinking my personal property would be left alone. So naive.) By the time i had got back they had unscrewed a wooden support post (it was a temporary wooden classroom) put the loop of my bag through it and screwed it back down, thus trapping my bag.

So when I read stories on here of the sheer level of cuntery people are capable of I'm not surprised. Many bullies justify their actions by saying "We were only having a laugh". Yeah, maybe. But when the person you're playing the "prank" on isn't laughing then you're a bully, plain and simple.

I totally agree
and I can relate to it too.


We had lockers at my school, I had one as being a victim of cunts I thought the £5 a year was worth it so I only had to take what I needed after each lunch break/after form etc etc.

One day, went to my locker and some twats had kicked it where the lock was and nicked my P.E kit and some of my books, I found one or two of the books on the stairs going back down and my P.E kit was only returned to me after a teacher found them playing catch with it, caught the bag himself and noticed it wasn't theirs.

It's great what other people think is funny whilst causing misery to others.

I really enjoyed that school, it had some ace teachers that I got on really well with and alot of them were those fun teachers that made learning fun.

Only, having cunts constantly harrassing me throughout the lesson led me to act up in an attempt to intentionally get kicked out so I didn't have to go near them.

Got expelled in the end.

Teachers
Are less than useless when it comes to bullying. They can't be on your side 24/7 (and anyway a lot of them want an easy life and will actually act indifferent if you report it).

But the very act of reporting it leads to more bullying, only more insidious bullying. Like I had a "friend" who used to steal my pens. Every day. Now how do you report this? You can't say "sir, he keeps stealing my pen?" can you? But how do you explain that the fact that because he's doing it every day, and I have to come up with ever more ingenious methods to stop it, I'm close to breaking point? Teachers are usually only interested when it becomes physical, but subtle psychological torture is much worse.

I used to get bullied like hell for exaclty the same reasons....
...went to an all-male comprehensive school too which was tough. I was considered a swot for 4 years, during which I was beaten lumps out of and constantly made out to be gay etc by...well basically the thick kids of the class. During the 4th year though I become good buds with a guy called Shane and met up with a load of peeps outside of school, where I actually learnt some well needed confidence.

Last day of the 5th years (and of the school), literally all the bullies lined up in front of me. One of them, a lanky streak of shit called Steven says "You gonna miss us Jeccy?" and smirks. Me smiling says right in his face "What, you bunch of cunts? I'm fucking loving it" and walked off while they were trying to work out if it was an insult or not. Never looked back :D
