(2,886 posts)Brought tears to my eyes, I was a victim of bullying, no one ever knew, I had no one to talk to. One day I went to school wearing bib overalls and I had red shiny cheeks and all of a sudden they were calling me "Bibs McFem" I never ever understood their hatred for me. I guess I was an easy target ? This was in the mid 60's, cruelty over time never changes. One day my sister and I rode around town on our bikes, trying to raise funds for some kind of charity, all of a sudden I see 2 classmates, waiting for me with eggs, they smashed those eggs all over my head. When I was 12, I went into the kitchen, grabbed the cupboard doors and beat them onto my forehead, hoping something bad would happen to me so I would not have to go back to school. Worst time of my life. I feel for this little guy, bless his heart.

(22,482 posts)My brother was being bullied so my parents decided that he needed to learn to protect himself. They enrolled him in a Judo class. After a short period of study one of the bullies cam after him and using Judo's technique of using the other person's weight and force my brother just flipped him over his shoulder and broke his fall like they teach you. I say this because I want everyone to know that my brother was not the aggressor.
Anyway, that did the trick. The kids stopped bullying him.
