Bullying

50 pence is a shit rapper.

Two parts stupidity, one part obviousness. I was bullied a lot until I snapped, then I was just avoided.

I was bullied in school, only beaten up once, that wasn't too bad. The years of fear and verbal abuse made my life hell.

50 cent don't know shít bout shít.

In fairness tis true but it would be very close if yours didn't insist on nearly every fella that calls over blowing their load in that 5 gallon drum she keeps in the corner, What does she plan to do with it when it's full anyway?

Oh no. Your wit has bested me. Curses!

50 Cent.................. load of crap, both he and his stupid rap music

It's been said over and over again and it's easier said than done but, smacking your bully a good hard box (preferably in front of others) can work wonders.

Did for me.

That's generally not the reason kids start bullying other kids. Usually it's just because they're different in some way or a "nerd." But if a kid doesn't fight the bully once the bully's begun, obviously the bully's more likely to continue.

However, we sometimes get romantic notions of standing up to bullies. Not that it can't work, but if a big guy is picking on a scrawny kid, there's probably not a great deal the little kid can do with a punch.

As others have said, the bullies aren't often physically tough. These days especially, with the numerous ways bullies can pick on kids without being physically near them, fighting is less of an issue in terms of bullying.

Also: 50 cent + words of wisdom ≠ sense.

Would a bully not prefer a weakling who doesn't fight back to a weakling who does fight back?

I wouldn't be so certain about 50 cent being a moron, don't judge a book by it's cover. He appears to be a shrewd business man if you dig deeper.

I'll put my hands up and admit I'm no expert on 50 cent, I'm just going by the odd tweet of his I've come across. But he has to have at least some brains to get where he is I suppose.

Some bullies might prefer a weakling who doesn't fight back, but I can imagine if the kid poses no physical threat it probably wouldn't matter to them.
In fact, I can imagine bullies deliberately picking on a weak kid they know will try to fight back, as they could get a good laugh out of his attempts.
I think what's more important in selecting a target is that they're weaklings, not that they'll fight back or not.

If a "sharp collection of words" stopped a bully in his or her tracks anytime they tried to create hassle, then I'm sorry but you were not being bullied. There is a huge difference between someone trying to bully you and someone actually bullying you. It takes a hell of a lot to stand up to someone who is bullying you. I mean real proper bullying, not the usual playground crap that goes on.

But the thread is entitled bullying

Bullying is repeated instances of things happening, usually over a long period of time. One exchange is not bullying. It could be attempted by a bully, but if you can stop it immediately then you're not a "victim of bullying" so to speak. I think the term bullying gets thrown around a lot and is a much more serious issue. Kind of like someone feels a bit sad and they say they're depressed if you know what I mean. It just dilutes the seriousness of people who are actually depressed.

I guess what I'm trying to say - bullying does not mean one or two heated exchanges. I apologise if it came across as belittling, hopefully the above clarifies.:)

EDIT: Just wanted to ad - couldn't it be said that suggesting all you need to do is stand up to a bully is belittling what victims actually go through?

It depends on the situation. In general its better to nip it in the bud as quickly as possible. Bullies tend to be insecure people.
