How a Bully Saved my Life
I used to be a pretty nerdy kid back in high school. I was into playing video games and not sports, not working out, dressing poorly and being awkward and shy around girls. Being hopeless like this of course a bully took notice of me and began to harass me. He would call me names and shove me down and push me around. It was like torture.
Anyway I got tired of his crap so I started working out, flirting with girls, getting into sports, and improving the quality of my life a ton. I began to finally live life and if not for that bully I would still probably a skinny nerd playing video games all day. I am glad that bully entered my life.
I know bullies get a lot of hate in the media when they say "oh they are killing our children" when bullies are just a normal part of life and growing up and facing adversity. So I just wanted to put a positive spin on bullying and how it builds character and toughness.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garem [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DatDudeBV and I have no sympathy for weak willed people who kill themselves. They are pathetic and selfish. [/quote] So if someone suffers through four years of daily physical and psychological torture, then finally snaps, they're weak? Someone who put up with a bully who constantly tormented them for sparse amusement is selfish? You need to rethink your definitions.[/quote] If someone lets something happen constantly for four years, I'd place part of the blame on them. They should take the initiative somewhere along the line to try and solve their problem, whether that be getting help from an authority figure or doing something themselves.
