Hello my wonderful humans,

First, we would like to thank you all for contributing and expanding this sub into what it is. We would not be at 11k+ members without you all. Every post and comment has made an impact directly and has helped in spreading awareness about bullying. That said, we are eager to take on a new moderator for the r/bullying sub.

What does this entail?

We are looking for an entry level moderator to keep this a safe space. This would require daily check ins to sift through the modmail and flagging, but we are open to a more senior moderating role as well.

What do you need to submit to apply?

  1. how long have you been a member of the r/bullying sub?
  2. why do you want to help moderate this sub?
  3. do you have any experience moderating on reddit (or platforms such as discord)?
  4. are you looking for an entry level moderating position or do you want to take on more work?
  5. what recommendations do you have for this sub?

Please send your answers directly to us by the end of the week (Sunday August 18th). We will be replying to everyone and will make a decision by mid next week. Thank you all again and we are excited to grow this community more together!

My daughter's bully gets a special cool chair. The kids he hurt get nothing.

5 Upvotes

Last year, this kid was suspended more than he was actually in school. Sexual harassment. Bullying. Harassment that crossed every line a kid should know not to cross.

This year, he's back in the classroom. And now there's a special, cool chair with his name on it. Prizes he's earning for good behavior — prizes the other kids can't earn.

Meanwhile, the kids he hurt? The kids who show up every day and do the right thing? They get nothing. Not an acknowledgment. Not a reward. Nothing.

This is what schools call behavior management now.

We are teaching kids that if you act out enough, you get prizes. And if you just quietly behave? You're invisible.

Here's the thing — it is not a school's job to discipline our children. That's on us, as parents. It's the school's job to teach. But when they reward the behavior instead of correcting it, they're not managing the problem. They're creating the next one.

And the kids who lived through last year already know how this story goes. They're just waiting to see if any adult in that building proves them wrong.

Life After Bullying As An Adult

7 Upvotes

I have a question to pose to the people here who experienced severe bullying as a child or teenager. How has life worked out for you, do you still carry that trauma and how has life turned out for your bullies.

For me I find I still have that trauma from young, the feeling of isolation, being powerless and it really affected my relationships and feeling of self worth. It took many years to realise I deserve love and respect. As for the people I knew who were bullies growing up alot of them ended up in low level jobs as guards etc. and got into crime.

I myself have a mortgage now and a stable job. I see life way different from the average person though as I see how human beings treat others when they are different and there are no consequences to their actions. I would like to hear some others experiences.

Bullies disguised as ‘professors’

2 Upvotes

F(25) study in a dental college.
Department of endodontics , of my college is a BIG BULLY. Each and every staff there bullies students. I and few other batchmates were having a bad day today and just wanted help from professors, literally all of us were on a verge of breakdown (anyone could tell from our faces), we went there so they could guide us, i regret going there because of what they did. They bullied us with some nasty remarks like ‘you’re ugly atleast study well’ ‘no one will pass you in exams you look this ugly’ ‘atleast take bath’ , they went on to pressurise a fellow batchmate to show the reels he posts on Instagram, mocked and laughed at his account. One of a male faculty, grabbed my arm and shook me agressively and said ‘look at your hair, looks like you dont even wash your face’, my hair was in a bun and just a strand of my hair was out. He then goes on to mock me saying ‘do you even understand anything? Make her understand ma’am (said this to another staff) , i dont think she gets it’. Then started asking about my father’s profession. This went on for good 40 minutes, they judged us, laughed at us, made nasty remarks.
I was on the verge of crying, i have not been doing mentally well, all of this that has happened today is 1 % of what i have been suffering in college, but today is the first time i feel like ending my life, it never gets better

How to stop people being mean without looking like a bigot.

6 Upvotes

I think I am getting bullied at school and there's this group of people that target and insult me in locker rooms, they take turns each day calling me derogatory terms and body shame me for being tall and get their whole group to target me if I say anything. They trip me up and foul me in sports to cause a scene, and 4 vs 1 is not that great, (I do not have many friends yet as well so I can't really go with them.) I wanna get them to stop but if I tell on them, I fear the teacher will not believe me they will escalate the bullying to online platforms and it will destroy my reputation at school. I don't want some crazy revenge plot or some awesome aura farming moment, I just want a calm way to safely diffuse the situation without aggressing any people.

(also i am a biological male)

My story and my bully get karma

1 Upvotes

For me karma does exist my school bullies does get her karma. till 6th grade she spreads rumors about me treat me horrible and things she say to me so harsh and means even told me d*e mind you she start doing this since kg 1 to 6th grade and her friends are also bully and constantly hearing these things having no friends at young age i actually want to die imagine a 11 year old thinking about ending her own life teacher don't used to listen or believe in me cause she was cute i wasn't but after 6th grade things start turing everyone understands what she is doing nobody wants to be her minion and want there individuality and the end she ended up alone no friends few of her "closest friend" also say mean things to her maybe this is karma i guess but ya i actually don't say mean things to her i simply ignore her few times my teacher made me sit with her she was like why you are ignoring me not talking to me we are friends right? I was like are you serious wtf 😒 and remind her what she did to me and she start criticizing me like how I used to cry in kindergarten or stuff and start blaming me ( so I was like a bully will never get it that they are bully) i walk away I do make few friends to survive that school and been alone the teachers used to love her criticizing her for her marks and mistakes she made she failed in 10 i move out from that school i heard that she also failed 12th ..

(Maybe i sound evil but whate she did to me she got exactly the same treatment i don't enjoy seeing her miserable but atleast part of me heal knowing that she must be experiencing my exact situation how iam feeling)

And my another bully got Covid (I pray for her recovery though now she is healthy and after she recovers she actually start speaking politely and nicely with everyone)

(Sometimes i think iam being petty holding grudge against my childhood bully and those teachers who didn't took action those are children doing it unknowingly but to be thinking about it i was a child too it my first time experiencing school too and everything these happened the things they say it still affecting me but all I can do is move on and when I get a job i will get therepy)P

What should I do to stop thanking about a person online who has ruined my mental/emotional health?

5 Upvotes

This is like a part 2 of this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Advice/comments/1wi1u8d/life_advice/

So this person, whom I won't name due to them possibly finding me on here, has been harassing/bullying me for more than 2 years because he was associated with a person that extorted me and a person who blackmailed me. I tried exposing them on the internet, but all they did was harass and bully me more and more, to the point where I wanted to commit. The worst part is that they doxed my first name and face on the internet. I won't get into more detail because they will track every social media and post it about it. He even found someone exposing him on 4chan and thought it was me.

Harcèlement scolaire .mon histoire

3 Upvotes

Bonjour je m’appelle Louise j’ai maintenant 16 ans et j’ai besoins de raconter ce qui m'est arrivée.

Alors tout a commencé quand j'étais en 6e. Je suis devenu ami avec une fille qu'on va appeler Clara pour l'anonymat. Avec Cette fille en est vite devenue Super proche. Et elle m'a assez vite partagé que ses parents n'avaient pas beaucoup d'argent et qu'elles ne mangeaient pas tous les jours à sa fin. Moi, je suis pas riche. Mais je suis pas pauvre non plus. Alors vu que c'était ma meilleure amie .Je l'emmenais souvent à la boulangerie. Pour lui payer des trucs.

On était très complémentaires et on s'entendait sur beaucoup de choses. En plus on ressemblait beaucoup aux gens pensaient qu'on était sœur ou cousine. Enfin bref. Un jour. Clara est devenu très proche d'une autre fille. Qui va s'appeler inaya( ce n'est pas son vrai nom encore une fois) on a vite. Formé un trio. Mais tout le monde le sait il n'y a jamais de trio sans duo. Et c'était moi l'exclus du groupe. Clara ne le faisait pas exprès évidemment. Mais Inaya ne pouvait pas me voir. Je ne savais pas pourquoi. Le temps passe et moi, j'en ai marre. Donc je leur parle et je leur dis que je me sentais clairement exclu et que je veux que ça s'arrête. Comme seule réponse j'ai eu des insulte de la part d’inaya parce que j'étais trop jalouse après c'est vrai qu'à l'époque j'étais jalouse. Mais là j'avais une raison quand même.

Enfin bref je me suis fait totalement exclure du groupe. Et pendant environ un mois j'ai traîné toute seule pendant les récré que j'avais plus du toute copine. On est redevenu copine. Puis on s'est redisputés puis Inaya à péter un câble. Et a commencé à m'envoyer des menaces de mort. Oui mdr je rigole pas🥀.

À ce moment-là Clara a arrêté d'être copine avec elle. Et on est redevenu proche. Arrivée en cinquième on était plus dans la même classe. Et je l'ai présenté. À mes nouvelles copines. Comme je vous l'avais dit au début. Clara n'avait pas beaucoup d'argent. Et sa maison était vraiment dans un mauvais état. Je crois qu'elle avait 4 chats chez elle. Qui n'avait pas de litière. Et faisez leurs excréments par terre. Je vous laisse imaginer l'odeur. Quand elle me disait ça et que j'ai vu ça ? Évidemment, je l'invitais le plus souvent possibles à la maison. Mes parents l'aimaient bien elle était polie. Puis elle a commencé à voler mes affaires. Alors au début c'était que des barbies et d’autres jouets​. Puis c'était des pièces de un ou 2 euros. Puis à la fin elle m'a carrément pris un pull. On peut se dire que ce n'est rien. Mais pour moi c'était vraiment beaucoup. Quand je la confronterai elle me disait que c'était parce qu'elle n'avait pas beaucoup d'argent. Mais de toute façon à l'époque je n'avais pas beaucoup de caractères et je me laissais très clairement faire.#victime mdrrr

Fin 5e. Je me suis mis en couple avec son meilleur ami. Et elle a passé en sorte de pacte avec lui comme quoi si on se disputait elle et moi ? Il devait me quitter. En vrai je comprends on était en 5e. Il a jalousie à cette époque là c'était hard. Enfin bref. Vin le moment où il me quitta parce qu'on s'était disputée. J'étais pas trop triste parce que je crois que j'étais pas vraiment amoureuse de lui. Cuit. La 4e passa. Et vers mi-quatrième. On se disputa pour la dernière fois. Mais le pire c'est que c'était vraiment pour un truc de gamine. Je me rappelle plus mais c'était vraiment de la m****.

À partir de ce moment-là, Clara pétain vraiment un cable wtf🫩.( j'ai oublié de dire mais entre-temps je m'étais éloignée de mes autres copines. Pour finalement restez avec une fille qu'on va appeler. Chloé. J'étais pas disputée avec elle. Mais juste on se parlait plus trop) donc je disais. Qu'elle a commencé à répandre des rumeurs sur moi a énormément de gens. Et puisqu'elle avait beaucoup d'influence .Ça a très vite tourné. Au début je m'en fichais. Je me disais qu'il me restait plus que un an à tenir avec elle. Et que, en vrai, au lycée on passerais à autre chose. Spoiler alert elle a continué à gâcher ma réputation au lycée😝 trop fun.

Pour finir mon histoire ma maman a été attente d'un cancer novembre De ma troisième. Ça m'a beaucoup affecté et physiquement, j'ai vraiment chuté. J'étais pas très belle, on va pas se mentir. Je pleurais beaucoup. Mais j'ai toujours fait en sorte. Que personne du collège ne le sache. Sauf ou un jour je ne sais comment mais l'information a fuité. À ce moment là tout le monde s'est foutu de Moi ouvertement sur le cancer de ma mère. Les gens n'ont aucune pitié et aucune humanité apparemment.

je ne raconterai pas tout ce que j’ai subit en détail sauf si on me le demande mais je tiens a dire que meme 2 ans apres cette fille continue de faire circuler les rumeurs..même si elles sont noyés dans la masse de gens ca me procure assez souvent des grosse crise d'angoisse a l'idée de revivre mon calvaires..

je ne souhaite a personne de vivre ce que j’ai vécu sauf a Clara qui a gâché ma scolarité et une partie de mon innocence...

Si certains ont lu jusqu'au bout écouté je vous remercie beaucoup. Je vous ai raconté mon histoire en détail, et j'espère que elle ne vous aura pas laissez de marbre.

So one of my "former" middle school friends keeps grabbing my hijab and calling me "baldie". She doesn't pull it off but she also keeps grabbing my neck. At first it was teasing but now she does it harsly. she is also stronger than me. I tend to be too nice and justify whatever people do, but I told my parents and brother and they said that was bullying. I'm anxious I'm making a big deal, but also I don't like hw she keeps choking me even if its playful..

How to stop myself from getting bullied

4 Upvotes

What is it about me that makes people treat me so poorly? I feel like I get bullied/ belittled everywhere I go. This has been a problem since I was a child. I’m a teacher now and even some of the students will try to do this to me. People ostracize me and/or give me dirty looks. If I’m quiet and pay no mind people think I’m stuck up/mean . If I’m nice I get taken advantage of. I’m sick of it.

they're always calling me stupid names every night time. I think their strategy is for me to not recognize their faces when i'm trying to call for help. also it's another way for them to pretend they aren't bullying me and lying that they did nothing.

What is the worst kind of bullying?

5 Upvotes

Ok, so for starters this is a repost. My last post was in a different community and for some reason it got removed but won't tell me why. Ok, lets start. So I am someone who has been bullied before, both verbally, mentally (even some sexually). But I am curious. What is the worst kind of bullying and why?

So let me give an example of each.

Physical bullying: being punched, kicked, or hit repeatedly by the same kids or adults.

Cyber: mean comments, repeatedly, and threats constantly but it is online.

Verbally: pertains to both in person and online. My example of this is being asked normal questions in a high pitched mocking tone. (I've had to deal with this for the decade in which I've been in school. I've been bullied for the things I do and the way I look. I've gotten insecurities from it.)

Mentally: making you think something that isn't true, making you look like a fool in front of everybody else. (This pertains to my insecurities.)

Sexually: being smacked anywhere innapropriate, hit anywhere innapropriate, asked questions about you that you normally wouldn't give out to others or repeatedly asking questions about your sexuality even though they already know the answer to them. (Mine looked more like this. B: "hey can I be your boyfriend?" Me: "I have a girlfriend." B: "can my buddy be your boyfriend?" Me: "I have a girlfriend" -I had to say that twice. B: "can I get your phone number?" Me: "no." I then proceeded to put my headphones on so I couldn't hear him. In 6th grade I was asked by one of my main bullies if I thought she was "smexy". I told her "ew. No. Not in a million years." Years later when I told my sister this she said "well you should've upped your bullies ego and told her yes." First of all -my bully was disgusting in a lot of ways. She was also one of those popular girls -much like my sister in that school system before we moved, and my bully made fun of me for things like my YouTube channel or the way I looked -pertains to the mental aspect of it.)

So I am curious -what is the worst version of bullying? And why is it the worst version? I'm sure there are other types of bullying so feel free to include them in your answers -if you choose to answer. I just want people's opinions. I am 15F. Thanks!

I was bullied by a family member for years and my parents had no idea

1 Upvotes

This came up very recently when my cousin had a falling out with my brother and my family started talking about how mean they are. Then I kind of said "well they've always been like that, they used to be a lot worse" and lowkey got surprised Pikachu faces.

Because we were close in age and the same gender, we had a very close relationship that gradually turned controlling and toxic. They hijacked me during family get-togethers, held me captive in private rooms, asked interrogating and uncomfortable questions, had me do songs and step-dance routines where I was harshly critiqued, made harsh remarks and judgemental expressions over small mistakes. They grew up in a dysfunctional home environment, and our family MSW stated that they were trying to seek a sense of control that they did not have in their life. I was unfortunately an ideal target being a younger and more submissive cousin of the same gender. Originally they were like an older sibling to me, but they gradually became more controling and then just downright mean.

I tried to convey to my parents that I had trouble playing with them and did not want to, but they had thought I was just struggling to cope due to my neurodivergence and felt that cousins needed to learn to get along. Apparently I had not been as articulate with what was actually going on as I had thought, because many years later, when I put all my memories of what happened into a Google doc and shared it with them, they were horrified and apologetic for not having seen how things really were.

I don't hold anything against my folks or even my cousin, but I am disappointed that the situation wasn't handled better. My brother thinks I should have just told the cousin to f-off and go play with him and the others but it wouldn't have been that simple; the cousin would have gotten upset, adults would have been involved, maybe the cousin would have played victim and made me look like the bad guy, we would have been forced to make up, rinse and repeat. Maybe if I had really kept fighting back and running away something would have been done but unfortunately I was very submissive in those years. The only true solution would have been to separate us, which might have looked like not having me go over as often and when I did, preventing us from going off alone together.

I know people say that kids are too sheltered these days, but it really grinds my gears when kids are (indirectly) gaslight into thinking they just need to live with bullying and learn to handle it instead of the situation being investigated and properly handled. We had all these anti-bullying assemblies in my school where they were basically just teaching kids how to live with mistreatment and stand up for themselves. And standing up for yourself is important but it doesn't always work; I have fortunately never been physically bullied but I can understand someone angry enough to punch someone wouldn't just say "oh, you don't like this okay".

I spent all these years thinking I just had to deal with this cousin and that what I was going through was normal and I was in the wrong for not having been able to handle it better.

My friend started an entire hate group against me because I played PS5 with someone younger than me.

1 Upvotes

So, when I was in 7th grade, I upgraded my console from an Xbox One to a PS5. I was extremely excited to finally play with my friends after spending years playing alone.
For the first two weeks, everything was going smoothly. I was adding people, playing every weekend, and there was no drama. Life seemed so good, but unfortunately, that didn’t last very long.
One day, I added this guy I hadn’t played with in years. He was the younger brother of someone in my grade who I was friends with. We started playing together more often, and we would spend hours yapping and playing games.
However, one of my friends started getting extremely jealous.
At first, it started with simple questions like, “Why are you always playing with him?” or “Don’t you think it’s a bit weird that he’s younger than you?”
But eventually, those questions turned into actual bullying.
He started saying things like, “Bro, you’re a pedo,” “Bro, it’s not tuff,” and “It’s weird. Get friends your own age.”
It started to get extremely annoying.
Then, one day, while we were all playing together, that same friend started cursing and screaming at us. Something inside me finally snapped, and I decided to kick him out of the PlayStation party.
For a moment, I felt a huge sense of relief.
But that relief didn’t last very long.
Literally two minutes later, I suddenly got added to a group chat that was basically a hate group with my name on it.
My friend had created an entire group dedicated to hating on me.
He started ranting, cursing, sending voice messages, and even sharing embarrassing pictures of me.
I was absolutely furious.
However, the younger friend I had been playing with started defending me, which helped me calm down a little.
I decided to take screenshots of the group chat and everything my friend had said.
Then, out of nowhere, I received three private voice messages.
They were from that same friend.
In those voice messages, he started saying things like, “I talk bad about you,” “Everyone talks bad about you,” and “Nobody likes you.”
He also continued insulting me for being friends with someone younger, saying that it didn’t make me cool and that it just made me a pedo.
At that point, I was completely fed up.
Instead of arguing with him, I sent him two short voice messages.
In the first one, I told him that I didn’t care if people talked badly about me and that I didn’t care about his opinion.
In the second one, I warned him that if he didn’t stop, I would report him.
And I genuinely meant it. If he had continued, I was actually going to report him.
Eventually, some of my other friends decided to get involved and gathered both of us into a PlayStation party to sort everything out.
After everything that had happened, the friend who had been bullying me eventually apologized.
And for a moment, it seemed like the drama was finally over.
But little did I know,this was the beginning of what would become an absolutely crazy and toxic friendship.
