Imagine being bullied 24/7 and you don't have the guts to tell them to eff off. You get depressed, nobody understands you, they make fun of you, they call you crazy, what can you do to escape all of this? I've been there, but I don't want to hurt anyone by committing suicide...there's been days where I feel like nobody likes me and I just want to die..it's irresistible, but I keep fighting.

If you are bullied does it give you the right to take your own life because of it?

Odd way to put it, but if you were going to make it a right, I can't imagine it would be anyone's right more than your own. But, that's not really how suicide works in any of its varied forms.​

And you KEEP fighting, Buddy....
Life isnt something to just toss away... once you are dead.. thats IT.... NO more seeing your family and loved ones, you will NEVER see them again... never.
... No more sunshine on your face... no more moms great cooking... NO more NOTHING that makes you happy in life.
Once you are dead, That. Is. IT!... theres NO coming back... ever.
You life WILL get better... it has to. It ALWAYS will...
Just hold ON and believe, because i speak the truth.

That's scary, but at the same time very true

As an educator, I can tell you one thing the vast majority of bullies have in common ... parents who are bullies, too! That's why the problem is so difficult to address. The very people who should be teaching the bullies a bit of humanity don't see anything wrong with what their kids are doing. In most instances, the parents will blame the victim, and many times some form of socio-cultural bias is at the root of the bullying attitude for both parent and child bullies. I've heard a parent on more than one occasion dismiss his/her child's bullying behavior by pointing out an "unacceptable" difference about the victim. My all time "favorite" was the father who told the counselor that the child his son had bullied on a daily basis for months "had it coming for being so wimpy." That, folks, is the true root of bullying.

The way kids are treating eachother today is nothing new.....I was a small girl and I was gang bullied by a group of 6 girls that were way bigger than I was. When I was in school was quite a long time ago. I was so afraid to go to the bathroom between classes, I either had to hold it all day long, which caused me problems, or I would try to get out to go during class, which also caused alot of trouble for me with the teachers. It also created alot of behavioral problems for me at home, but I knew if I told my parents, it would just get worse because I knew how they handled things. I had thoughts of running away most of the time, but there were times when I wished I were dead..... or they were. Had my school years not been so tourmented, I know I would have gotten better grades and certainly had better memories........only my last 2 years in HS were worth remembering....... the bullies dropped out of school and I finally found peace!

We are having a problem with a preschooler right now that is bullying behavior and is just an generally out of control child physically. He isn't so much as mean but obsessed with a certain child and will not stop touching her, her things or following her. He also jumps on the furniture and runs out of the room. His mom told the teacher I work with yesterday at a meeting it's our fault because he has never acted this way before and we are just too nice to him. ( We are not mean, but we are firm and there are consequences in the room) Oh and her fix for when he misbehaves at home is to send him to his room to watch TV.

She just is in complete denial and IS raising a bully and a sexual harrasser

It makes me sad because at this stage he is actually very loving, but just doesn't understand physical and personal boundaries.
