What does the term Bullying mean to you?
Treating someone in a way which each word is placed just so the person you're talking to feels awful.
Have you been bullied in the past?
Yes, even though I always ignore the nasty comments.
If yes, do you know why?
Well, because of my condition. But I honestly never bothered to answer those idiots. There had been times in elementary school when classmates would huff everytime I would announce I couldn't attend a school trip or project or whatever because of it, since of course such brainless kids don't take conditions seriously, do they? All they care is to complete the required number of students so that the trip is not canceled, and since I don't help, I'm the arrogant evil one. I've even been bullied online about it, from specific people I thought I could trust but got proved complete jerks.
Have you bullied in the past?
Sure I have. I think everyone has done it, with no exceptions. Like others have stated above me, sometimes you're doing it without even realising it.
If yes, why?
In specific cases, the reason is just because. As a kid, I was rather shy and weak to answer to comments like those. But after I grew more mature, I started taking my blood back. No boy would dare to comment on how me or my friends act in senior school, because they knew what would follow. Bullying comes along trolling as well, for me. I would bully little noobs to make them look stupid for my entertainment, I still do it. I do know it's cruel, but it's how I was treated myself when I was younger.
Why do you think others bully?
People who bully often are obviously unsure about themselves, and want to prove they're strong by making others feel weak. Being jealous is a reason most people bully, as well as to try to make themselves feel "cool". Derp.
Why do you think kids feel better when they bully others?
For the same reason stated above.
Are the administrators / school disciplinary / assistances / teachers actually helpful? (In General) Are the administrators / school disciplinary / assistances / teachers helpful in your schools / schools around you? (In your area)
In my area, not really. And that because kids don't often refer to adults, teachers or parents, when being bullied. That is because telling them only makes things worse, and I can't disagree with them. You only give a bully another reason to continue by telling an adult. Most kids that have problems often refer to a friend or a relative in their age rather than adults or teachers, at least here.
Are parents doing too much or too little to help?
Personally, I think parents shouldn't mess with their children's relationships, except if the kids want them to. Kids should learn how to deal with problems by themselves, and realise that their parents won't always be there for them later in life. I would say parents can be of some help, even if they shouldn't, in my opinion.
Can violence solve violence?
Everything should be talked out. Violence doesn't help in any way. Even though mostly boys in my area don't want to understand that.
WARNING: The following two questions may be considered sensitive to some!
Do you have any helpful ideas that may reduce bullying / suicides due to bullying?
Nope. Bullying comes along other things in life. People should learn to deal with it.
Do you know of anyone who comitted suicide due to bullying?
No. In my opinion, you're obviously.. eh, how to say it nicely. You're just too depressed to suicide just because someone was not as kind as you wanted them to be.
End of sensitive questions (Depending on who you are / what you've gone through)!
Have you seen others being bullied? 1. If yes, did you help? If you did not, why? If you did help, how did you help? 2. If no, why not? Do you regret not helping?
Yes I have. Well, I don't always help when I see people being bullied. As I stated above, I think people should try to deal with their problems by themselves. I've always been there to help friends though, as well as little helpless girls.. How did I help? In some specific cases, just bullying them back and making them look stupid solves the problem. If they're too stupid to get your sarcasm, just curse at them. If you have the right personality, you can scare them off. And no, I never regreted helping. Some people actually deserve it.
Have you seen a good friend get bullied?
Quite a lot of times. We help each other in such situations. Not such a big deal. People in my country don't take it THAT seriously. You're bullied? Bully them back. Simple.
