My3LilMonkeys replied: Neither. It seems like where I went to school there really wasn't much bullying at all.

mckayleesmom replied: I think alot of reason I wasn't is because I had older siblings ...one that went to school with me.

MoonMama replied: Neither.

A&A'smommy replied: I was neutrual

luvmykids replied: At the time I felt bullied but it was really just kids being kids in that mean way some have....in first grade a little girl told me she hoped I got cancer and died and I just couldn't believe it. But to me bullying is worse than that so looking back I'd say neither.

Nina J replied:
omg, thats insane..

MommyToAshley replied: neither.

Danalana replied: I was bullied. I had the audacity to be born with an abnormality, so kids (wonderful like they are when it comes to other kids with differences) would tease me and ask stupid questions. It got better as we got older, but it was still hard and made me extremely self-conscious. I am as far from a bully as one can get I'm very tender-hearted and am always for the underdog--I hate bullies. Sometimes I hear what kids say to other kids and I just wonder who the heck is raising them. (/soapbox)

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Both I suppose. I was bullied until I started to fight back

hopefulmomtobe replied: Hmmm I was very assertive and strong willed which made me seem tough, but I was nice to everyone. I am still that way to this day, I have the "Dont ticked off Wendy" look about me I guess...so people say.

I swear, I am nice though...but I am not afraid to speak my mind or stand up to someone!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I was bullied so badly in grade school, it carried onto Junior High and then right into Highschool. It was the same group of girls and it didn't matter how many times I told the teacher, nothing was done. I was in the same Girl Guide Group with one of the girls and the bullying didn't stop there either. I used to cry all the time and the teachers didn't do anything. My parents told me to confront them or ignore them. Hard to do when there is a group of 5 or 6 girls and you know if you confront them you going to get physically hurt. The bullying severly affected my self esteem and I never really felt as though I could do anything. Years later my sister ran into one of the girls in a bar and she punched her in the face telling the girl that "this is for my sister." It was a very lonely time for me, I had few friends and pretty much stayed to myself!

lisar replied: We picked on the cheerleaders. Where I went to school (and I am not saying this about all places) the cheerleaders were stuck up little snobs and thought they were better than everyone else. So we bullied them around cause we knew they couldnt fight.

hopefulmomtobe replied:
Somehow I knew we were going to be the "tough ones" haa haa

lisar replied:

I am not a mean person now. Well sometimes.

hopefulmomtobe replied:
Oh I can be. I am the only person that says what others want to say. You know what I mean?

Like - there was this lady in a 10 items or less line with freaking 20 items, some of which were fruit that the cashier was having to look up and get prices for...then the lady wrote a check...everyone is line was ticked but wouldnt say anything, except for me of course...I looked dead at the lady and let her have it...somethings I just have to say! "Freaking brilliant people in this world, I tell ya. Read the dang sign lady! It says 10 items or less for a reason. Thanks for holding all of us with up. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to read that sign! Good grief, some people...they just dont have any common sense. It must be hard walking around all day being an idiot."

That is pretty much what she got from me. She kept appologizing, she felt like a dumba** and I wasnt letting her off that easy either.

but, really - I am nice..ha ha

lisar replied:
Okay I am like you, but I dont think I am that bad. I tell people what I think. Most dont like it but they will get over it. And I dont care what people think of me. KWIM?

hopefulmomtobe replied:
Good Lord, put us together and the world better just look out! LOL Us and our tequilla! LOL

boyohboyohboy replied: I was bullied terrible my junior and senior year of high school.. I was not a fighter, and have never been in a fight, this girl whaled on me, and all I did was cover my head.
I lived in a tiny town, and to this day I have no idea why this girl hated me, but I am sure she still does.

hopefulmomtobe replied:
awww, that is sad. I'm sorry. I would never hit someone, that is just ignorant to lash out like that. Poor thing. If someone ever hit or bullied my child, I would have to do something about it. I have talked to a couple of parents before. I guess I am more of the personality of not being shy or saying how I feel but I would never want to hurt someone.

Calimama replied: Neither. In high school a lot of people thought I was stuck up, but I was trying to distance myself from drama so I wasn't friends with everyone.
