Today, I finally stood up to a bully who had been messing with me for over a year. His response? He picked up the chair I was sitting in and threw me across the room. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after years of torment and relentless harassment, I finally built up the courage to stand up to a bully. I got a detention for swearing at him. FML
Today, I finally stood up to the guy who's been bullying me for the last 2 years. Even though he's been caught in the act several times, he never gets punished, so I figured I'd get away with gut-punching him. Nope. An hour later, I was suspended from school. FML
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 finally confronted my bully. Too bad it was at my high school reunion and he beat the shit out of me. FML
Today, I finally worked up the nerve to quit my job after being tortured by my boss for months. My boss responded by throwing a hardcover textbook at me and hitting me in the face. FML
Today, I fought back with words against a bully. He cried, and I got detention. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I bumped into a guy I bullied for years at a bar. He was actually cool and laughed about it, but my stupid drunk ass kept urging him to hit me because I felt bad about it. We went outside and he thrashed me. At least we're friends now, I guess… 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, I bullied a kid at school, just so someone would talk to me. FML

I was bullied horribly, and you know what I did? Realized that grade school/high school is just a small part of my life that wouldn't matter later. And I was right. Two years into grad school, and I'm a perfectly functioning adult who understands that kids - gasp, surprise - aren't always the smartest or most empathetic bunch. I know it sucks. A lot. And I hated it while it was happening. But you have two choices - either be the bigger person and understand this won't matter forever, or be a bitter, obsessed person forever.

Stop being a jerk. I have been bullied since kindergarten and Am now entering highschool. What you think is funny isn't and it really hurts. If you wanna laugh some more go pick on stupid people like you instead picking on the OP!

Maybe she sat down after standing up to him to show she was finished and he got even more pissed off

#92 shut up
rowBuhahNo 1
@97 Being bullied sucks. A lot. if you are telling 92 to shut up, I would be willing to bet that you have never experienced this kind of thing. Myself, OP, 92, and probably everyone else who has commented on this post has been bullied. If OP is allowed to rant and you don't say anything to her, why should you get to bitch at 92? If anyone needs to shut up, it's you.

My first thought was that the argument involved said chair and OP'S refusal to move, that's one situation where you could "stand up by sitting down"

#5 with bad decisions come bad consequences. Don't want to risk extreme retaliation? Choose not to be a bully.

Ok, you guys who are talking about bringing bats to school are obviously kids who are being bullied or have been bullied before. The internet is good for being able to act big and bad tell people to do stuff like that, but in reality that's probably the worst thing you could do if you have any hopes for a future.

No, I believe it was advice. Bad advice.

I have been bullied and am still being bullied and if you bring a bat and try to threaten the bully you will get into even more trouble.

don't pull a wang-chung and bring a gun to school. just impregnate his girlfriend (by any means necessary) and make sure he thinks its his. his life will be ruined. you win

Bringing bats etc to school probably isn't good advice, but neither is the "be a better person and realize it won't matter for long" as you're sailing into the nearest wall chair and all. Quietly taking your stomping isn't really an intelligent way to "deal with bullies"

I applaud for your courage.

Maybe he LITERALLY stood up out of his chair to the bully?

I agree with #4, you couldn't have been "standing up" to him very well from a chair. No wonder...
