To be honest, before reading this I always thought girls had it way worse than guys but I mean after reading this and seeing how fighting affects the person being bullied, I must say they're both just as bad. Which I guess would make sense since bullying is bullying but I thought I should share a story with you guys from a girl's prospective. This isn't a personal story, but I was there the whole time it happened.
When I was about 7 years old, I moved from Toronto up into butt-fuck-nowhere, AKA King City/Nobleton (you decide for yourself. They're both shit.) Basically, my life ended right there.
ANYWAY, since the first day at school until the end of high school, I had this close friend named Hayley. I've known her for 10 years and we pretty much grew up together because evidently, she had just moved into the same town as me when I did.
TL;DR, Hayley and I knew everything about each other, spent every moment together blah blah girl shit.
Onwards, around the beginning of high school, she got involved with this stupid fucking whore who got her into meth and she started sleeping around with the older drug dealers at our school and she started missing class, not going home, etc. (I promise, I'm getting to the bullying part...) About a year later she was completely dependant on this friend and she had started getting into a relationship with this one guy who everyone knew as "the bad apple".
This kid has been arrested numerous amount of times for dealing all sorts of drugs, he's been in the middle of almost every theft in town (including breaking into my ex's house and stealing his ps3, laptop, father's cash, cigarettes... whatever), he's a douchebag to all the younger kids (probably beating up/bullying many of them).
So yep, this kid was trouble.
TL;DR, she thought she "loved him", they were "meant for each other" because "he loved her, too" and then about a month later, he leaves her. Her whore-bag friend tells Hayley that he loved her all along and now they're together. So in the mind of a 15/16 year old girl: oh my god, I'm going to kill myself, my life sucks.
In the end, she overdosed on all her father's pain medications only to have her mother come home later that day after school to find her half dead in her room.
She's alive now. Unfortunately, we lost communication over the years afterwards and I now no longer see her. But I thought I'd share this story with you guys because even though there was no physical fighting or physical abuse, the mental abuse she had taken over those couple of years finally built up enough to have her react in a way that no one at that age should even think of, especially over such a stupid insignificant situation.
And I lived those days with her until she moved schools about a month after she got out of the hospital.

I always thought girls were meaner and the damage was more mental, and guys were more insecure and the damage physical, but there is certainly elements of both on both sides. If you're being slowly killed by bullying, does it really matter the weapon? Probably not. For my part, I think I came out OK, but my aim is that neither of my 2 daughters are bullies or are bullied.

obviously talking about a time when this wasn't the case. For example 15 years ago, Brampton was a very diff place man.
Thank you for the vid, almost couldn't finish it but I'm glad I did because that shit was eye opening. In highschool I would stand by and watch bullying take place and do nothing about it which makes me no better. I guess I try to stand up for anyone getting picked on nowadays to try and make up for that. The stupid shit you say and do just to fit in with "the cool kids" is terrible.
haha i shit talk bramladesh and i live in it!
To Mandy and Glocky, bullying can be both physical and emotional. I mean all the gossip in highschool is a form of bullying when the person being gossiped about hears it and sees others talking about them or laughing about them. Not everyone makes it through OK, some people carry wounds for life, others make sure they teach their kids better, and that is the best way to fight bullying. Making sure your kids don't stand by and watch is as important as making sure they don't bully others! It's a stage in our lives that can have a lasting negative or positive impact.
To this day, if I see people start fighting or I see bullying I step right in, even at work. I have zero tolerance for it!
