Whats Goin on ....

I got bullied from grade 7 until the first few months into grade 10. I never fought back or did anything about it. For 3 years the same kid and his friends would pick on me. I was the only none white kid at my school until grade 10. My sister joined the same school eventually. She had started wearing a headscarf just before she joined the school, it was her choice even though my parents fought with her about her being too young to wear it. One day she came to me during recess crying; the kid Jonathan ripped her head scarf off and started making fun of her with his friends. All I saw was red... I found him by his locker with two of his buddies. I walked up to him as he's pointing at me and laughing, calling me paki and other shit. I kicked him in the nuts, grabbed him by the hair, and bashed his head into his locker repeatedly until a teacher pulled me off him. He had a concussion, lost some teeth, broke his nose. There was blood all over the place. The kid transferred to another school, since his parents couldn't do anything against me. I was an honor student and a nerd, teachers loved me, and I never caused any problems while their kid was nothing but problems. He had detentions booked 4 months ahead... I didn't even get detention for bashing his face. No one ever fucked with me or my sister again. What's sad is no one ever stood up for me, or helped me when I was being bullied. I went home enough time with bruises on my body, and I wouldn't say a thing to my parents. Unfortunately the problem never goes away until you speak up, or someone finds the courage to stand up against the bullies and put a stop to it.
Bullies exist because their parents are failures. Failures as parents. It takes a lot of courage to make a video about it and post it online for all to see. It's also a cry for help, and I hope someone who is in a positon to help him hears it.

I was bullied as well. I was not born here in Canada - I was 'the foreign kid' all through school, the only one from my country (tiny country in east Europe).
No one could pronounce my name, and no teacher bothered to call me by my English name, made fitting in quite difficult. Not to mention parents who have a poor grasp on the English language. We were not welcomed by the people in 'steel city' - viewed as the foreigners that were taking all the jobs away from the Canadians. Sadly that attitude trickled down from the parents who met my parents at school functions and birthday parties to the kids, and then onto me.

Some actually did stood up for me and i have respect for that person ... the only brown guy in Toronto with a turban ... not easy getting by. Things may have changed i can't say. I have suffered through kindergarten and till grade 8 ... i found teachers racist also just laughing at you. I got by ... i don't know how but i did. I was a shy kid scared to ask for help.

What you talking about? There's close to a million brown guys with a turban in Toronto.

I was bullied as well, until, holy fuck, I had an epiphany, that years of playing rugby, and working outside with my dad, had made me grow up to be one tough, mean mother fucker.
I beat the. living. piss. out of 3 of them in junior high, to such an extent, that one of them was in the hospital for many days, I was suspended for a month (to which I had to work with my dad more), and made my dad very proud.
The one dude who's face I stomped never talked to me again. I went full psycho, like come at me beast mode, bro. Flipped a switch.
I didn't gain any cred for it, but they left me alone when I was in the computer labs, which, to me, was my favorite(safest) place to be.
My dad always said, I was never allowed to fight anybody smaller than me, because thats what defines a bully, but this was one day it was alright.
To this day, I still yearn the feeling of absolute power over another human being after crushing this kids face with my fists. All y'all mother fuckers glad society exists.

I've been to about 5 different schools around Toronto, not a single kid was wearing a Turban. I actually barely ever see anyone in the TTC or in the downtown core that has one.
EDIT: P.S. tap-a-talk!!! This shit took me like 5 mins to write!!!

About 40 million, but ya. Now a days, I'm the oppressed the most. White man is at the bottom of the food chain :/
But anyway, to add to people's story, I've never been bullied, nor did I ever bully kids. I've always been (fortunate, no doubt) popular, and I've been friends with the 'nerds', black kids, asians, jocks, little 'gangsters' etc... Never had no problems. I gave a lot of respect, and earned a lot because of it. Lucky, I guess... good parenting.

When I lived in TO many moons ago, for grade 3 and grade 4, the Italian kids picked on those of us "from the base" (Downsview) because they thought we were rich. I fought... a lot. My folks put me in Judo and then we got posted to Ottawa for Gr. 5. Then I got picked on for not being a hockey kid... funny thing, hockey kids aren't so tough without their gear.
I will save you the details, TL;DR version: whether it is bullying or anything else, if you do not stand up for yourself and (not or) tell them you do not like how you are being treated, you will always be treated differently that you would like. As an adult at work, this applies 100% too. Can't face the bully? Tell your friends, family and appropriate authorities. You can't be helped if people are not aware. Unfortunately, most people believe that it can't happen to their kid, or at their school/neighbourhood. Not until it stares them in the face. If either of my kids ever bully some one but once, they'll answer to me. Pointe Finale.

Saying the white man is being oppressed is fucking stupid. Sorry BJ but that could be insulting to anyone who's actually been oppressed/bullied for being non-white. There isnt a single white kid that has been picked on the same way.
I've been in a ton of fights most of them totally stupid and childish. Never picked on anyone or was bullied. This has mostly to do with the fact that I'm white, and taller then the avg.

Actually, I have seen white kids get bullied cock. If you're from Europe and have a different name and accent, it's enough grounds for bullies to go to work. After I kicked the kids ass who bullied me throughout highschool, 4 friends and myself created a small group of students who helped new comers from other countries integrate into school life and helped create an environment where they were not judged , where they were helped with tutoring (I was in a Quebec French highschool, the tutoring was VERY needed), and assisted with other issues when coming from another society, including bullying. By my last year in highschool, we had 15 people being tutored or helped in one way or another, and a few of them were europeans who faced bullshit due to different names and accents.
I see your point, but when you're one or two white people working in a company where they got 50 brown people, including managers and supervisors it does happen... and yes I've seen it here in Canada. Maybe it's not physical bullying like in high school, but it's bullying nonetheless. You think anyone will take a white man seriously if he goes and calls his employers and co-workers racist and bullies?
