my mam and dad would never normalise bullying as a way to toughen me up - "call people all the names you want, as you'll get called names too...." that's one step from being a sociopath. |

as i always say, i was tiny at school, i think i was so soft the lads looked out for me and didn't let me get into any meither. A lad called Stephen Foster who went on to be European Boxing Champ for his weight division was one lad who always looked out for me - and i still see him now and again in Salford and we always have a chat. He is a top bloke. Other lads weren't so lucky, one lad, like your mate, was gay. One of the local salford lunatics found out that this lad was knocking around with his girlfriend at our school. Said lad got £#%&!ing leathered one lunchtime in the yard after the local lunatic jumped the fence. Did a proper job on him. I always, always felt sorry for him - how he came back to school and got on with it all after that is beyond me. other people got the same treatment. I dunno, i've taken stick and i am alright with it, but other lads and people just can't take it, and they shouldn't have to. Quote:
i just found he was on dodgy ground with it. i get we can't tell people what to say and what not to say, but at the same time... we have a duty to protect people who can't take the grief. Boyle and his treatment of Adlington was not on - she didn't go looking for it, she's a young woman... picking on her like that? give over - it did her in. |

I was severely bullied at school years because i had a stutter. Still do but not as noticeable. Made my high school years a living hell. Was absolutely relentless. Had some people break into my house when my family was away. Broke in, smashed up my house and smashed all of my signed United stuff and framed pictures worth a few bob. This all in the last year of school and the blokes who done were in my year - they even mocked me about it but police had no evidence. Only started enjoying life once I left school and went to college. Decided to not take any shit from that moment on and have probably had a chip on my shoulder since then but I've suffered severe depression and anxiety which I am have managed to control. Still have nightmares with the @#%&!s from school in it. Probably why I get so defensive on here at times from the shit I get on here from the usual suspects. As you say, why should people have to take it? You don't know what people have been through or how things will affect them. |

It’s probably the trickiest part of being a parent. Being watchful for this stuff without hovering and not allowing them to learn to stand up for themselves. It’s not easy. |

True that. Got a daughter and another nipper on the way- definitely gonna teach them that if they get hit, hit back twice as hard. As you say, kids are @#%&!s and if you show weakness, school can be a horrible place. Also going to know what signs are to look out for, too. |

i had a lad train my in gym a few years ago - a thrash metal lad who was easily 6ft 4 and 16 stone - a monster he asked me could me and him spar in the ring and i said yes he didn't throw a punch and covered up - i've never hit anyone hard but he even flinched with patting shots. turns out he would regularly get started on by groups of lads on nights out, so much so he couldn't face any sort of physical challenge. he was conditioned to be fearful and never stand up for himself. sad to see someone so mentally condition to jack in when things get on top despite having the potential to back himself and fight his corner. |
