RE: Have you ever been bullyed?
Bullied not Bullyed. And yes i have, it doesn't happen much probably behind my back, but hey if i don't here it i don't care, me and my friends roughly hate the same people so we just pick on how dumb they are, because the cool people are usually dumb. Probably at the primary or middle school for liking things cool kids don't like yu-gi-oh Pokemon and kids things etc.

Almost daily in high school... Aside from being one of the nerdiest kids in my class, a lot of people started terrible rumors about me being into nasty things that I really wasn't. Even when I told others about it, nobody ever really did anything. And, in time I just learned to tone it out.

^Better than not being allowed to strike back at all (my school). Seriously, if someone pulled a knife out and we retaliated at all, we'd be suspended at least.

Excuse me, but when the heck did this become acceptable?! In my old school, if someone pulled out a weapon of any kind, it enough got the cops called, the school locked down, and the student permanently expelled! That's not something you tolerate; what are people thinking nowadays? Zero-tolerance policies used to exist for that very reason! Do school admistrators nowadays want kids to get killed? That's just nuts! You should be allowed to fight back.

No. Not in my teen and adult years, at least. I did have one bully in the Sixth grade who thought it was funny to kick the back of my chair. He sat behind me in two of my classes. At first, I just relaxed and set my mind on learning. He picked up on this and started to kick harder. One day, he kicked right between my chair and hit my back. I feel this sharp pain and immediately get out of my seat. I pick him up and throw him on the floor. Got suspended for 10 days, lol.
I also remember in the tenth grade a kid yelled a racist Asian related term at me, which offended me majorly. I decided to just walk away.
Other than those incidents, I was never bullied. I strived to keep myself from being a victim. I tried my hardest to appeal to all social groups. I kept my grades up, stayed away from alcohol and drugs, played for school sports (Football, Basketball, and Track), and I always helped everyone.

I'm decently short for an athlete so people like to try to call me short, but it doesn't really bother me. I'm usually faster/smarter/funnier than the people who even bother to mention things like that. It's just names no one ever tried to physically bully me anyhow, I am a black belt so eh.
In my school, everybody is a nerd. See there is a Russian kid in my class who play with knifes and all that, but he gets as total average like 83%.
Another exemple, it is 30 minutes before the school finishes, then, in class, there is a guy who want to beat another one. He says:"Exactly 38 minutes after the class, you will be down." Wow, who counts the time? Plus, he was just joking. Everyone is just so concentrated on their report card.
Anyway, I don t get bullied by people as I master "the way of what the others think".
The others are just laughing at your reactions, not what you are doing. If you ignore them or even (if you are good), get into another subject with them, that will help you a lot.

Because I don't talk much and tend to stay to myself, I got bullied in middle school and high school. In middle school it was mostly one kid in gym class picking on me, so that wasn't too bad.
In high school, it was a different story. I had a bunch of kids picking on me. It was mostly just snide comments here and there, about how "no wonder you have no friends" (though I have friends, of course) and "what a loser, weirdo, etc." If the people kept it up, I confronted them about it and they normally shut up after that. If it was just a one-time thing, I'd just let it pass.
The weirdest thing I got repeatedly picked on for was bringing one of those tiny "pocket umbrellas" to school for when it rained, and then actually using it on campus when it was raining. Basically, using it for its purpose and being prepared. A bunch of people seemed to dislike me for that, for some reason. xD
I'd have things thrown at me at lunch, the worst of which (and the worst I've ever been bullied) were oranges. Thankfully the kids were terrible shots and I only got hit in the back of the leg. I had my back turned, so I couldn't see exactly who did it, but I went to a teacher about it, who then sent me to a guidance counselor. No one claimed to have seen the incident, but the kids threw things at me again another day and I was able to report them. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I was told what they were doing was pretty much a criminal offense. xD
So... Yeah, I was bullied. But I never let it get me down, because I understood anyone who bullied me was doing it to either make themselves feel better, show off, or they didn't understand me and never got to know me. Of course, being "antisocial" goes against the stereotypical vibe of most high school students (that hyper-social attitude), so it was all the result of a clash of two opposites.

I was bullied alot back in Elementary school. I kept to myself more, and having only like 2 friends, people were just cruel. Then eventually I stood up for myself, and ended up getting my parents called (although they where incredibly proud 
) In Middle School I went passive-aggressive and my bullies just ended up with their lockers jammed and their clothes missing when they went to gym. I even went so far as to steal one of their homework assighnments when I went home with a bruised face after "tripping" during a lunch rush. Nowdays I'm just more picked on as a joke than actual bullying, because one of the more popular kids started hanging out with me.

As people have been saying, ignore them. Bullies bully because they are insecure and try to raise themselves up while bringing others down. If it keeps up, tell the person nicely to stop, and if this does not work, tell a teacher, parents, counselors, etc.
And I think somebody asked why people are such jerks, well, in the middle school level, people are trying to 'set their place' for high school and think they can do this by picking on people. People also bully because they think it will make people/friends/crushes like them more, so they pick on people (this never works btw).
I have been bullied many times, mostly for being so smart and having to wait till high school to have a girl friend (though I'm considering asking a girl I really like out next week anyway). When I do get bullied, I just ignore them and pretend not to care. Also, I don't care as much of what people think of me, which seems to have drastically cut down the times I have been bullied this year. I told myself not care what other people think of me, and it seriously works. If people still make fun of you for race/intelectitual skills/hobbies/umbrellas (you were made fun of for an umbrella? What a sad world we live in) just tell them what does it really matter. Tell them to snap back to reality where it doesn't matter your race or your shoes or whatever. Ask them if that is the most important thing in the life. (but watch out for the smart-a$&es who say 'yes')

I was bullied by one person at lunch break once, and if I did stand up to him he'd probably attack me. Luckily he is now expelled.
When I went out for football in middle school, I was picked on by two 8th graders. It wasn't really bulling, more harmless hazing. But later that year, I blew out my knee and had to quit sports permanently, and they felt bad for giving me a hard time. It's kind of funny cause I'm friends with one of them.
But throughout my school years, I guess I was bullied, but it was really weird and not that bad. They could be friends with me one day, but then be my enemy the next. Though it wasn't bad.... the worse it ever got was when this guy just started hitting me with his hat in the head. I eventually yelled stop in his face, got a teacher, and he was sent to the office. The same guy also called me "Scuba Tuba" because my nickname was Scuba and I was in the band. But I played the clarinet/bass clarinet -_- so that was kind of a fail and me and my friends turned it into a joke. But like I said, the next day he would be nice to me, so yeah *shrugs* He eventually stopped messing with me in 11th grade. Bulling at my school wasn't a big issue cause everyone was pretty much friends.....there was only 54 people in my graduating class.
But let say this, if someone is bulling you and they are over 18(aka a adult), then they seriously have no life. They really just need to grow up.

Nope. People at my school don't really seem to care. People play starcraft in the library, and there's even a magic the gathering club. Most of the kids in school aren't nerds, but no one really seems to care.
