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] DatDudeBV [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] car15 The bully is not responsible for their victim's specific decision to slam them with a baseball bat, but they are responsible for creating the psychological conditions that led them to resort to extreme violence. This is why people do not feel bad for bullies. They are not blameless. They bring it upon themselves. Didn't your mom ever tell you not to play with fire? You never know when it might burn you.[/quote] Ok, So going off of that. You feel its okay that bully victims at columbine shot up the school and killed the bullies correct? I feel bad for bullies. I feel bad for anyone who gets injured by a weapon when they are unarmed. [/quote] Let me spoon feed this for you, kay? Bullies aren't responsible for the actions of the Columbine shooters. BUT, they're responsible for the harassing that turned the victims's minds to be unstable and ultimately brought them to commit these atrocities. Nobody is justifying the use of lethal force against bullies, but they simply brought it upon themselves for messing with the wrong people.
