Bullied teen leaves chilling video

It's a shame that this stuff still happens. Wonder why people always feel the need to bully others?

To me the bigger question is why can't this generation of kids handle being bullied? Bullying sucks any way you slice it but it's always been around. I think most everyone has been bullied in one point in their childhood and we all dealt with it. For some reason this new generation of kids can't be called a name without going suicidal.

Because used to you could go home and get away from it, or have a group of friends that never interacted with the people you went to school with. Now days everyone is connected all the time, so that $hit just won't stop.

I was bullied quite a bit in elementary school. It didn't stop until I started punching people in the face. Yeah, I got punched back, but that $hit let up when people realized I wasn't afraid to get punched if that means punching whoever is pissing me off.

Kinda went overboard in high school, though. I wouldn't seek out fights, but if I didn't like you and you pissed me off, I'd have to be pulled off you because I didn't know what 'quit' meant.

Lots of trouble.

It is a shame indeed that it still happens, I have a little sister that goes to middle school and I keep hearing that in her school the teachers are showing students more videos on why bullying is wrong and why it should be stopped. Not sure if it's going to reduce the amount of bullying though.

Some of her examples of being victimized were nothing more than direct consequences of her own actions.

Right but it seems to be a growing trend with this new generation where they just can't deal with basic life issues anymore. It's not just bullying. It's a much larger issue.

Pirate700

On that, I have to say I think it's because we expect kids to be 'professional students' instead of kids who happen to go to school.

My nephews are in middle school, and during they week they have no free time because of homework. Seriously, they've lucky to get enough time to eat, shower and clean up after themselves a bit. It's ridiculous.

Let kids be kids so they learn the other $hit they need to learn. I have nothing against 45-minutes to an hour of homework each night, but when you have that much homework for each class, every night, it's a problem.

Pretty much this. Embarrassing things happen, I remember at a tournament the bathroom lock was broken and my teammates busted in with a video camera. They brought it to school to show everyone, was it pretty embarrassing? Yeah but I thought it was funny and just laughed about it and it was literally forgotten within the week. I feel like people now just like to be dramatic.

Some kids are just a magnet for bullies though, and it depends on the school.A lot of kids get picked on for looks, clothes, not fitting in, etc. Some kids don't have a ton of friends they can get backed up by like I do. I probably have at least 20 GOOD friends who would stick up for me and a whole group of people too. It's the kids that just can't fit in with a group or make some good friends that get bullied, and they really have no where to go when they are.

lol what kind of school does your nephews go to? I don't think I spent an hour a week doing work in middle school and seeing all the kids walking around today and the fact that the U.S. has some of the dumbest kids in the devolped world I don't think kids spending too much time studying is the problem.

Don't even get me started on homework. I've spoken up on getting rid of it completely for years now.

Just the local public middle school. They tell me their teachers spend most of the class going through the book and they take their paper work home to do. This all started when they swtiched from being a Junior High to a Middle School and started 'teaching to test'.

People who feel the need to bully others like that are just scum.

I wouldn't really call this bullying... The girl showed her **** on the internet, some random guy sent them to everyone she knew when he blackmailed her into sending more explicit photos which she refused to do... He ruined her life...

Granted she put the pics online in the first place, so whatever.

Stop complaining about people not being able to handle bullying though... I am in a wheelchair and have been bullied/made fun of my entire life... I have been ostracized from my peers as long as I can remember and just hate people in general these days, I don't like to talk to people, I don't like to participate in things, I just hate people... Humans are social, they want to be included, so when they are cast out by their peers, they break down... The only reason I haven't is because it has happened to me so long that it is all I know and thus I never had any other "good" experience with people to contrast this treatment...

To those saying that kids can't handle bullying nowadays probably never got bullied for real. An isolated prank or normal name calling is not bullying. Bullying is constant harassment. Nowadays bullying can get out of hand more easily because social networks and the internet allow information to spread more quickly and to be difficult to eliminate. Unless you're in a similar situation you can't say how much it would affect you so at least show some understanding and compassion. We should be blaming the perpetrators not the victims.kuraimen

What if the victim has a habit of creating the situations she keeps finding herself in? She can't be totally blameless, can she?

So basically a teenage girl chose to do a bunch of really stupid self-destructive stuff, and now she's blaming everyone but herself.Laihendi

I "handled" it by shrugging it off and developing social anxiety complexes, self-image hangups and interpersonal communication issues. Which most of which still hinder me moving into my 26th year of life. Probably should consider seeking professional help... but I don't like talking about my problems.

What if you have nobody out there that supports you? Nobody that is willing to stick up for you? No matter what you try to do, you reach a dead end and there is absolutely no solution to your problems? Everybody viewed you as a piece of sh!t, regardless of what they do to you personally? Sooner or later, it gets to you.

Humans, by nature, are social creatures. Are certain people not entitled to the same feelings of closeness, intimacy and admiration that other people experience?

If someone is telling you that you suck and it bothers you that much, the issue is with you, not the person saying it. Just get over it, and don't care what someone says to you. If you can't do that, then tell someone. This is exactly what I'm talking about with not only kids being overly sensative today, but also not knowing how to deal with ANYTHING.

Pirate700

My bullying took the form of being cornered in the bathroom by three people, or being held down with a hand over my mouth in the back of the bus while I got punched.

Not much getting over that, you just gotta punch right the fvck back.
