I don't see any bullying going on in my school, then again, I only hang out with one or two people- maybe we just don't attract trouble with people. Everybody has their own little gatherings- I proved too "extreme" (offered to pay for some senior trips by shooting nutria) for one such group, but other than that I haven't had many problems.

Then again, I have had to take a few people aside and get them to stop screwing with other people.

Our disciplinary system is shot to hell, though. If I act in self defense and CURSE, for Chrissake, I get suspended for use of language. Who HASN'T cursed when they were in a stressful situation like a fight? If I act on someone else's behalf, and I get involved in a fistfight, I'm screwed again. I'm glad that the only fight I had in high school occurred off-campus.

I had problems with people in elementary school, but that stopped after I took up weightlifting and got myself in excellent shape. One of the guys that gave me trouble became a good weightlifting buddy of mine.

90% of the kids in my school back then lived in projects across the street. I got called cracker and whitey on a regular basis by people who thought they were hard in SECOND GRADE. I was stopped in the hall once and told to get on my knees and empty my pockets. The only thing that would get them to stop was violence, so I used it.

Better than that kid who stabbed someone in the neck with a pencil. Now that was crazy.

Edit: Now that I think about it, elementary school was WAY more violent than high school. Probably because I lived in Pittsburgh back then, but I'm going to HS in upstate NY.

are you joking?

and deerslayer you offer to shot nutria a lot it seems...

No, I'm perfectly serious. For some unknown reason, in the middle of class, this kid stabbed the one in front of him with a pencil as hard as he could. Really messy, though I don't think he did any permanent damage.

wait you saw this firsthand?

Yeah. They were a few desks over. Fortunately neither of those kids were my friends, so I didn't have to get involved.

wow, did the kid who did it get in trouble?

I'd assume he got in trouble, but I didn't check up on it or anything. I don't think second graders can get in too much trouble, unless they do something truly evil...

like stabbing someone in the back with a pencil as hard as you can isn't something truly evil haha...

But then again if it's not, then what would be truly evil?
