Are you or were you a bully in school?

I'll be honest, I totally was. I don't regret it, though. And I'm curious who else was a bully during school.

No, I was the bullied. Why did you bully others? I always though bullies were a weak, unimaginative lot, having to pick on others to get their jollies.

I guess just to show others I wasn't the one getting pushed around, but rather, the one doing the pushing.

So you were so insecure you had to prove(?) yourself to others. And if you have no regrets, it sounds like you would readily bully again.@Dollar:

@nojudging: Depends if I met someone who just annoyed me so much. I wouldn't keep bullying them if they would ACTUALLY stand up to me! Too many people want to be weak and not even try to fight back.

Were you gettin pushed around somewhere else, either physically, mentally or emotionally? Or more due to low self esteem? (I've heard that's a problem among bullies, why is why some feel the urge to bully others...it's very interesting to know about). Having been one of the bullied, I learned not to take shit from others. If someone starts teasing me in a manner meant to be hurtful, I like to be sarcastic and turn their words around on them. I admit, it's fun seeing someone get mad who is trying (but failing) to make me mad. I think I was born sarcastic, LOL!!

@PeanutsauntieP1982: I was bullied back in elementary school but that was it. After I got stronger in middle school I never had anyone give me shit, I was never hit by my parents in my life, I lived a pretty good life without anyone pushing me around. My self esteem's pretty high.

I understand where yours came from. Question-Why did you bully the ones you did? This is an interesting convo!

@PeanutsauntieP1982: Want to continue this in PMs? I'm surprised I found someone willing to engage in civilized conversation with someone like me.

LOL! I'm curious, and I'm nonjudgmental. I like hearing others experiences, different as they are. Sure. I'll pm you.
