Little guy

Why in the world does every one pick on the little person or the person who is less known or quiet the most? someone please explain cuz i find this soooo pointless.

Personally, when I was in school I was bullied by a number of people, guys or girls, for a lot of different reasons and one of those reasons were because I was shorter than they were or relatively the same size (still am shorter than all my friends even now, lol). I think that I was bullied because they assumed that I was "weaker" than they were and thought that it'd be "easier". However, usually after the ~first encounter~ with me they soon found out just how wrong they were. Haha, not saying that I was physically violent or anything, it never came down to that nor did I believe that it ever had to, but I did verbally voice my disapproval, I let them know what I thought about it (as being sad, wrong, shameful, etc.) and about them (as being piteous, pathetic, etc.). Of course, every now and then I would come home from school crying and not even want to go to school at all, but I never let them get the best of me or change the way I felt about myself. I stood up for myself and kept my head held high.

Well, first off because they're obviously shorter than the bully or perceived as an easy target.

Second, the quiet ones seems more defenseless and shy. Being quiet means that they'll probably won't say anything or do anything and that might be true for some people but of course, some judgements can be incorrect.

And, not all "little people" get bullied. There are "little people" out there that don't get bullied because they have confidence in themselves and are extroverts. I think the main thing on how to not get bullied is just to have confidence in yourself. Stand tall and look at the person as an equal, eye to eye.

We are animals don't forget.

Smaller=weaker in alot of people's minds.

Okay...all that i feel is true....but at the end of the day some people have mentalities of animals and don't care. i'm not a violent person and im quiet but this is my senior year in skool and im really trying my hardest not to get suspended (ive never been suspended in my life) and get on to graduate. im trying not to have my priviledges taken from me. And every other girl has a thing or two to say to me

And it makes me want to be violent. But i know in the end it won't be good because consequences are going to come with it.

Well, obviously what those girls are doing to you are working. They want to get on your nerves, they want you to worry, and be scared. Don't let it get to you. I say just try to ignore it and live your life.

But, if things get out of hand you should tell an adult. I know it sounds "lame" but sometimes you have to ask for help and there's nothing childish about that.

And yes, after high school you don't really see much bullying in college.

ANB i agree with you i know that once i get into college things should be much better. In all the years that i have went to skool from elementary on up i had a few people that i didn't get along with. And reading and writing helped alot with my confusion and me getting upset.

Bad Romance it's just not one girl but it's plenty of them. possibly 6 or 7 of them. ANd if it was just one than i could easily brush this off my shoulders without a second glance but it's beginning to build up even more than before. It's basically and everyday thing where people will have their insignificant comments. And that's when i have a issue and i feel like i either have to say something or fight to defend myself.

Its human nature... To make ourselves feel good we look down on certain individuals, groups etc... We're insecure creatures at heart... But there are some people fight that urge...
