Today, I had to attend a meeting with my parents, my teacher, and my bully and his parents. When we started, my bully "broke down" and "tearfully" told the teacher that I was the one bullying him, and that he was getting blamed to cover it all up. They believed him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally stood up for myself and beat the crap out of a bully at school, as my father told me to do. The kid and I were called to the principal's office, along with our parents. Inside my father's smirk faded when he saw that the kid's mom was his boss. FML
Today, I bullied a kid at school, just so someone would talk to me. FML
Today, I asked my school counselor in strict confidence for advice on how to help a friend of mine, who has bulimia. When I got home, I found out that "someone" had called my parents and told them that I'm bulimic. They won't believe the truth. FML
Today, I gave a presentation about how teachers don't intervene enough when students are being bullied. Afterwards, I was practically bullied by my teacher for "not choosing a serious topic." FML
Today, I fought back with words against a bully. He cried, and I got detention. FML
Today, I set off a fire alarm in school. I was taken to the head teacher's office, where he said that though he was shocked at my behavior, it was nice to see me being more like regular students and trying to fit in, instead of isolating myself as usual. I was shoved into the fire alarm by bullies. FML
Today, I stood up to the school bully in a fight. Rather than thank me, the whole school, including some of his victims, now treat me like a psycho. Apparently they tolerated him because of his terrible foster parents, so me hitting him was actually way out of line, and insensitive. How did I become the bad guy here? FML
Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML
Today, one of my friends got me in trouble when he called our house and asked my parents why they didn't see us at a school conference. My parents were at a meeting elsewhere at the time, so I didn't bother to tell them about it, as we couldn't have gone there to begin with, and it was voluntary. They're mad anyway. FML
Today, I finally confronted my bully. Too bad it was at my high school reunion and he beat the shit out of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How would the kid even have any evidence to prove you were bullying him if you were the victim

Oh, that kid is a CLASSIC sociopath. While you have my sympathy for your current situation, be glad that once you leave school you'll never have to see him again. His family is stuck with him forever, and believe me, when he is able, he will con and use them and make their lives miserable.

I mean... if you're going to be blamed and get in trouble anyway, might as well give them a reason. Next time you see your and bully and he wants to start some shit, punch the little **** in the throat. Maybe add a crotch kick for good measure. As far as I'm concerned, turnabout's fair play.

Ask people who have seen it, it may be hard but one can only hope. if anything, call everyone crazy and just say "Whatever, you believe him? So there shouldn't be any more problems right? because I've wanted him to leave me alone since the beginning of the year. As long as he stops talking to me and stops bullying me, there shouldn't be a problem, right? Because of course, it was him being bullied, not me. Thanks!"

A couple tips from a former bully: 1. Kids who bully other kids are usually putting on a show to cover the fact that they themselves are insecure. That's why the kid was so quick to start crying when confronted - he was afraid. 2. I know it's hard to see when you're young and trying to fit in, but the truth is that insults are only effective if the opinion of the person doing the insulting matters to the person being insulted. If you don't care what I think about you, then I cannot insult you. Keep looking up, kid. It gets better.

For the bully or for the victim? Because it seems to me that you have no idea what it's like for the victim. I was bullied for most of my childhood (because I was just geeky and smart enough not to fit in, even if I wasn't genius level) and I *still* have severe insecurities because I never truly fit in anywhere (my family moved a lot so I was always the new kid). I nearly committed suicide when I was twelve because it got so bad. I didn't only because I thought about how it would effect my little sister. It's all fine and good to say that the bully is insecure too, boo hoo, but you don't get how much damage can be done to their victims. Victim blaming needs to stop. If you hurt someone, you should pay the consequences. End of story. While what you say about the insults is mostly true, how long can a person hear the same shit every day before they start to believe it? Especially if they're in the situation where they have no one else to tell them otherwise?

But as a continuation from my last point, OP, the only way I coped was to just keep my head down until I got to high school and went to a different one than my bullies. Maybe you could speak to your parents about getting transferred to a different school? If it's possible. I hope for your sake it is. Good luck OP. Remember that there are people out there who have your back, even if it's just in the FML community.

Eric Cartman did this.

The way Eric Cartman deals with bullies is frowned upon in most civilized countries. Anyways, I want to hear from the op what the bullying consisted of. I'm strangely in the mood for getting angry.
