what was your high school bully origin story?? mine was being called fat in elementary school by a frail white boy named will smith
@gahhhbbiewatts He threw fries at me, 1day fr. Yr. I warned the table behind me to stop (didn’t know who). another fry hit me. I stood up w my half full can of sprite & swung the can like a haymaker into the guys temple. He was stunned, a security guard grabbed me. 2 day suspension. Bully 🛑 d.
@gahhhbbiewatts Damn... Would he do it while singing "Getting Jiggy with it"?
@gahhhbbiewatts @blaireerskine Everyone is bullied. Bullies were damaged before they were bullies. I was poor, tall, buck toothed and a very late bloomer. It made me stronger. We need to teach children empathy, but look how divided we’ve gotten. We need a support system for kids. But how?
@gahhhbbiewatts Mine was my locker partner who wanted to share our locker with her creepy boyfriend. I refused. He reported me to the principal for harassing them when in fact it was him who was harassing me on a daily basis. I usually ignored them most of the time.
@gahhhbbiewatts When I was 13 My bully was 18 & demanded I pay him $10 a week “Life Insurance “ My 21 y/o brother changed the terms of the arrangement for the bully to pay me. He paid once and I let him off the hook. Older brothers, Fuck around and find out! 😂
@gahhhbbiewatts @blaireerskine Typically was teased mercilessly for being an “over achiever”. Wondering how those bullies turned out? 🤣
@gahhhbbiewatts They already knew better than to bully me by high school. A clever HS peer had an M.O - she'd lie to two of us to get us to fight. One day it was her older sister's and my turn. We caught on and gave her a whooping off campus with the whole school watching.
@gahhhbbiewatts @blaireerskine Let’s see-I am Persian/Iranian so when growing up in Germany, I was called a Persian rug dealer a few times and generally shunned. Spent 8 months in California as a 14 year old and was called Nazi and Kraut and Ayatollah (after Ayatollah Khomeini) countless times. Not fun!
@gahhhbbiewatts 5th grade. Very small school. Only 6 girls in the entire class - one a big bully who would decide each Monday which one of us would be the outcast for that week. It was brutal!
@gahhhbbiewatts Last of 7 kids. Everything was hand me down or thrift store/brand. Mocked from 4th - 6th grade regularly. Then it got physical. Told bully to quit it. He pushed me. I went all Ralphie from Christmas Story on him. /bullying
