Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Either when you were a child.. maybe while you were in school or on a sports team? Or how about as an adult? In the USA, in some states atleast, bullying is against the law. Yet in England there are no rules on bullying. I'm not bashing England though it's just that I read about it this morning and it's fresh in my mind. [[http://www.jonesborosun.com/story.php?ID=44897]]
In Jr. high I had a friend that wanted me to bully someone she knew because she said this other person had been abusing her. So I went along with her plan, but what I was actually doing was making myself look bad so that the other person would come to "my friend's" rescue! Initially I didn't realize that the person she wanted me to bully was actually someone she wanted to be friends with. When the tables turned and the two of them alienated me I learned a life long lesson.
The complex webs spun by bullies and their cronies are profound. They usually do it so no one else sees it and they end up looking like heros!!
Down with bullying! Down with abusive people!
Have a good day. I'm going to.

SInce then iv had the chance to work with children age 8 & to see one of them get bullied would break your heart. The worse thing is this bulling can stick with a person for life.
DOWN WITH BULLING & ABUSIVE PPL!!!!
I've been bullied on this site, however. How ironic.
I was this tough little thing who put up with no shit from anyone, until I fell in love with an abuser. That's an embarrassing time in my life. I don't know how that happened. The abuse came on slowly. God, so weird how someone can slowly whittle you down to nothing.
Now I am very assertive and stand up for myself and others. I feel so much for those poor souls who took their lives due to merciless bullying. As I said in another post, bullying does kill.
At home the bullying continued even tho the households changed. I think part of the reason I didnt fight back much at home was that I was scared shitless from day one and I carried that one thru til I was almost 30.
I didn't find out for many years about this social structure, and realizing it really helped me. I then found out this domineering head of the school yard, had committed suicide at the age of 22, with 2 small children watching.
So sometimes the bully ends up having more issues than those who have been bullied.
I never bullied myself because I knew what it was like to be on the receiving end. I got shy and never showed anything of myself to other people because I was afraid it would be used against me. Later I learned to open up and 'rediscovered' myself. So I can say I got through it well and it taught me a lot of important values.
Both these bullies are the reasons I quit those jobs after working there long term. I HATE BULLIES!!!!!! I hate mean people. Mean people suck. And I know, hurting people hurt people, but I get tired of that saying, like I'm supposed to understand those that have bullied me. F that. I have my own psyche to worry about. Rant over.
Criminally negligent homicide for his tormentors doesn't sound so bad to me. I guess I overreact but I'm not surprised kids have shot up schools after mercilessly being bullied. Regarding bullies and kids in general, here's what my father says, "Most kids grow up IN SPITE OF their parents." True, so true.
