Are there nice bullies?
I think at a certain stage in life, everyone is singled out to be picked on. It's good for the spirit!!
Now, go thank a bully!!!

Don't even get me started on bullies...I hate them with a passion. 
They can effect your out-look on people in general or cause unfair prejudice in you when you're older.
But I'm as confused as Brian; has anyone ever been abused by a nice bully? :biglaugh

I was picked on a lot when I was new at one particular school in 7th grade. It was awful, especially since at that school there were numerous fights a day and if you looked at someone the wrong way about 80% of the school would be against you, your kin, and your dog :gah It was the worst year of my life

Did you know that most bullies became bullies because someobdy picked on them?
I think as long as there is the devil spirit that roams the earth there won't be anyone that has not been picked on by a bully.
Even Jesus was picked on by bullies! :verysad
I think the question should be...
Has anyone not been picked on by a bully?

I practically fought my way through jr.high and high school. That's why I started karate in the first place. It gave me the confidence I needed several times.

So what do we do when bullies are on the rise?

Be right and stand firm. Be brave against your enemies, be generous to the weak.
Jesus told us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). What good does this do? Plenty! First, it helps relieve our bitterness or getting stuck in feeling like a victim. Second, it helps relieve us of the desire to seek revenge. Third, it could actually help them! God knows what their problem is and why they're bullying and God can help them while protecting us.

If you look at who the bullies actually are, it can be very surprising. In High school I was bullied verbally and physically by many because of my race, I even had a group of teens try to force-feed me a ham sandwich. These kids were all from middle-class families. When I would score higher than them in tests it would enrage them and the bullying would get worse. "Immigrant" to them equalled "stupid" and I did not fit their stereo-type and that scared them. The only people who would accept me were the "drop-outs", so I began to spend my breaks with the kids who most would consider "sinners" or "losers" and the bullying ceased.
It didn't do my school work any good, though. Only once in school did I strike back at a bully. It was in high school, but then I don't remember being bullied before high school. I had a severe migraine headache one day that lasted a long time. Just as we were coming out of one class, the bully kicked my heel. It could have been accidental, but I doubt it. He was always on my case, and I have no idea why.
By instinct I spun around and grabbed him, and we grappled a short while. I heard a loud cracking sound, and the next thing he was on the floor looking up at me with a scared look on his face. I was being held by two boys.
The next day someone said something about the short fight, and the bully said that I didn't last very long. He was the one who was on the floor, and I didn't last very long?

I was never picked on by a bully exactly, but I was stalked by an older (30's?) man my freshman year. He would try to give me gifts and stop by school to try to walk me home, it was very strange. He even tried to give me a pendant that was inscribed with a declaration of his love for me. My dad tried to do something about it, but the police said there wasn't much we could do. That summer, he found out where I attended church and started trying to see me there. He told the pastor and elders that he planned on marrying me and that we would be missionaries. They tried to talk with him, but he didn't seem to get it. Finally, he ended up getting arrested for driving into the building of a local news station, he felt that their broadcasting was interfering with his brain and I never saw him again after that. I will say that my freshman year was very difficult, because I never knew when he might show up. I remained afraid a good part of the next year as well, but eventually I just asked the Lord to help me not be fearful and to trust Him. I didn't want to live with a spirit of fear. Overall, I learned from the experience, and God protected me. The Lord bless all of you.

The funny thing is, after you beat the snot out of a bully, he suddenly wants to be buddies!!
There are exceptions. When I was half way through 11th grade some "gang members" broke in my locker and stole my jacket,walkman,and some other personal possessions. A week later I saw one of them wearing my jacket. I followed him outside and when he was alone I confronted him. We began to fight and I got the upperhand. Just then I was picked up by the asst. principle. He knew of my stuff being stolen and gave me my jacket,but disciplined up both for fighting. The next day I was surrounded at my locker by several of them. One guy had a small revolver in his waistband. They tried to force me outside,but I broke free and took off running. I called my dad and he came to the school. They brought the guys to the office and called the police, but they didn't find the gun. I was transferred to another school after that. Stinkin' bullies.
