Intensity has been really sucking lately.I think we need some more intelligent conversation here, and I DON'T mean more arguments. Expressing opinions, maybe some debating, yes. But arguing over stupid shit and being nasty to each other all the time has gotten very old.

People can also live miserable adult lives without having ever been bullied.

i was never bullied physically, but it was an all girls school, and they had really nasty little ways of bullying. i remember a couple of instances vividly: during Housecraft (it was a long time ago...), we had to take it in turns to do various tasks. when it was my week for drying up, they soaked my tea towel in the sink, so it took me an hour to finish. doesn't sound like much, but when it's dark early, and you're on your own in a dodgy area of the city... another time, they put snow in my school bag. we had to use fountain (ink) pens in those days, and so you can imagine the state of all my exercise books.that sort of subtle bullying is just as bad, i think - it works on a psychological level instead of the physical (although i think physical works on the psychological level as well).

The way I see it is that you're only going to feel down if you allow others to impose their standards of living onto you. This works if you have low self-esteem and are lenient when it comes to criticism.
For me, the bullying at school pretty much ended when I fought back and hit the bully as many times as I could before I was thrown out of that class.It was worth it.
it's hard to fight back when the bullying isn't physical. i never thought about fighting back, anyway.
