A Demon Full of Scars

So little per page/chapter and constantly with the "to be continued", which we really could do without.

I almost stabbed someone when I was being bullied.

 

I say "almost" because my teacher intervened and because the bullying stopped after that.

My thoughts on bullying: It's prety bad imo, but I've never been bullied before, despite my introverted nature. 

The MC from the manga "Handa-kun" is basically my life. I have a few close friends and then a bunch of other people who respect/fear me.

My stance on bullying: totally unacceptable except when I do it. Then it's just fucking hilarious.

Just wanted to say that bullying is weird. A cruel, perverse and utterly twisted side of humanity, but also a thing with so many shapes and forms that it at times seems to be its own opposite. It is weird not because of the fact that it is hard to define, but because of how broad that definition is.

Some people deal with bullying through violence, some with the help of words, and some do it in their own unique way. Neither one is necessarily better or worse than the others, because bullying is so broad that there simply isn't one single solution to it. Take this as you will, because even if I see things like this you don't have to.We all have the right to choose, and if you believe in your choice then stick to it. I can only hope that you will choose wisely.

Also, I hope everyone is having a great day!

People that engage in 'psychological warfare', as you call it, in school are going to be, almost to a man, incredibly cowardly. They are fine as long as they receive no pushback, but as soon there is a real threat of being injured, almost all of them are going to lose the stomach to continue. Those that don't? Paper trail and baseball bat.

 

As far as going to jail for beating up bullies with a bat, why did I mention a paper trail? If there are records of you complaining about being bullied by named individuals, and the administration does nothing to help you (and lets be honest, they aren't really going to help you), you are now a victim that was driven to those actions out of desperation because those in charge turned a blind eye to your suffering. That's a seriously strong defense. And if your country would still jail you, leave that country, because it's shit.

Just act like i did in school and act like ur mother f**king crazy and people will learn that theres no point in messing with you,... bullying is like a game, the problem is the bullys hold all the best pieces and you just have a pawn. Thats why you flip the table jump across and bite your opponent while singing god bless the queen and you can bet they wont wanna play with you again lol

I was talking about "all the bullies" because you mentioned it in another comment - the one about psychological warfare. your advice for this was: "Talk shit, Get hit". I concluded that there will be rumours after hitting one person and you would go ahead and hit all the people who talk shit. that's who i'm talking about. they might unite and start an act of revenge.

leaving the school would just make these people move to another target. it won't make them stop.

and using a bat also won't work because afterwards you'd be send to prison accoording to the law of my country, even if the person you hit bullied you. so using a bat is no option in my country. even the threat of using a bat is against law. the only way to solve this problem would be either make the school deal with it or an advocat.

There is no "all the people you hit with the bat", there is just the bully/bullies, and if you are being actively targeted by more than 1-2, then you should probably just leave that school. Unless, of course, you are leaving a 'paper trail' of complaints about being bullied by the various individuals, and are comfortable with using some form of force multiplier to cripple and maim the offenders when the administration fails to do jack or shit about the situation.Crippled bullies have a hard time bullying anyone.

though you won't make any friends with this method. in the end you'll be as lonely as before your act of violence or maybe even lonelier 'cause the people who supported you might turn away because you are too scary....

isolating and ignoring a person is also a form of bullying....

 

countries which have death penalty don't have lower crime rates... so even the ultimate (violent) penalty won't make people stop.

what if all the people you hit with the bat will unite against you? that's why I agree that violence just incites further violence. you'll just make further enemies with this method and it won't solve anything.

 

It's not about making friends, it's about making a bully leave you alone. But even then, unless you are dismembering the bully and eating his fingers like french fries while everyone watches you, very few people are going to suddenly have a quailing fit and shun you because you beat up a BAD GUY.

 

Uh, the death penalty stops the fuck out of whoever it gets used on. Permanently. You're trying to use society wide crime stats in a discussion about school bullies. There is no "all the people you hit with the bat", there is just the bully/bullies, and if you are being actively targeted by more than 1-2, then you should probably just leave that school.

Can't wait till shit is going down!

Violence only incites further violence if you didn't violence them hard enough to make them not want any more of your violence.

The trick is to find the biggest guy you can on your first day, then slap him as hard as possible. He will look stunned for a moment. In that moment, follow up with a punch to the jaw and a kick to the groin. He will fall. 

You have just earned yourself the achievement as the baddest mofo in school.

I think you should watch last Explosm short.

Chris how many bullied, weak sociopaths are in this comment section?

I think you might have psychological issues.

Violence incites further violence, don't let other people control your actions.

Settling problems with words is definitely preferable, but we are talking about bullies here. 1: Bullies never listen to reason, and 2: Bullies aren't people.

While there are certainly going to be a few, most people are not going to maintain the same level of rumor spreading and malicious pranks after having physical violence inflicted on their bodies, because the precedent will have already been set: Talk shit, Get hit.

Personally I dislike bullying both in real life and in manga story, but I have the need to read it to know how the story unfold mmm...

Does not do much for verbal abuse and psychological warfare.

That didn't work very well in Higurashi When They Cry, and it doesn't work well in real life, either.

 

Very few bullies are devoted enough to their craft to keep fucking with someone that has hit them in the head with a baseball bat.

Stopping bullies is easy. Bring an aluminum bat to school. Go ham on the bullies.

I never really encounter bullying in my school days (or I just didn't realize), but is it really that common everywhere mmm...~?

It depends on the country and type of bullying, but a simple estimate would be that around 10% of students in most first world countries have been subjected to bullying of some kind. Note though that this number is a really bad estimate, and based purely on eyeballing some statistics from different countries and sources. So don't rely on it at all. 

   Then comes the type of bullying, because thanks to the introduction of social media we have gotten a whole new avenue for bullying. There was a case in Sweden which got rather famous surrounding that kind of harassment. A 13-year old girl committed suicide after being forced by an older guy to send nudes over the internet. It turned out that the guy was also forcing other children to do this, and the whole thing is one of the many reasons as to why the government here has decided to clamp down on internet bullying/harassment. I don't know if you consider that to be school bullying, but social media has had a tangible effect on young students mental health.

   I might write something about "normal" bullying too, but seeing as my sources regarding it are not really that good right now I will have to hold off from doing so. Instead I will say that it is simply too common, and things like the amount of transgenders who have killed themselves because of it are tragic.

If I remember correctly though they didn't specifically say/show what he did to the bullies in the movie, which I understand why considering that they probably wanted to make it a more family oriented movie but that was one of the major reasons they wanted ender as the commander to lead their army.

lol i'm reading those books right now and his method certainly doesn't have the bullies coming back
