It might be quite weird saying this but I got bullied at school and bullying made me the person I am today. As a result of being bullied for my skinny frame and big nose at school I decided to grow my hair long, learn guitar and try and make people laugh. In doing this I found my real self and now, 10 years later at the age of 25, 14 stone and 6'3" tall I enjoy meeting my school bullies when I'm out in the pub and smiling quietly when I see them in their dead end jobs, crap, balding hairstyles, failed marriages and 6 kids to try and somehow support.

You, sir, are evil. But I like it.
And it is true, bullying might be of positive effect to a persons life and character. Though...it also might not.
I agree, we go through hell in those bad days of bullying, though look at us now. I became stronger! I never thought i would survive all the bullying that i had taken inside me, but you always have a good side to it all, thats making you a strong person! If you never have these problems your weaker than everybody else. Just the disadvantage of becoming insecure/hating yourself when the bullies have finished, wha hurts. It is known that many have said how strong they became from their most problems in their life, one is bullying.
So i totally agree with your opinion there of how you became stronger because im the exact same🙂I have to say that im probably a let better off than i actually think though, i mean the bullies are generally the insecure ones with the problem and often have more problems than you think they have, probably even more than what you have.
what do you mean there? I love explaining in depth so i may be wandering a little😛
Well it certainly made me think very less of myself, even when i had stopped being bullied. I envy people but rather than bully them, i confront them about how i feel. A lot dont, thats the problem.
I took everything to heart when i was at school, getting bullied. I would never fight, i was forced into fights but im too soft to actually fight.
Oh im the same, i agree. I think about this a lot and how i would be if i hadnt of been bullied. If people fool around now i take it heartly, i still havent realized i will be facing many horrible people in my life, however i know, i have had it, i will hopefully be able to stand up for myself better when im that bit older therefore being bullied has helped in that way. The bullies always come off worse! Fact is, we dont because we know what will hit up in our coming years. But the bullies themselves wil get a shock later on in life when they have been surprised by how people are with the, not realising they were ocne like that.
Though i do say many older are nicer😛

If I hadn't been bullied at school I'd probably have wandered through my late teens thinking everyone was kind and nice and then got murdered while trying to break up a fight in a pub or something. Bullying made me try to be the best at things the bullies were crap at. Art, music etc.
I remember the first time I got my ass kicked. I think it was good, If I never got my ass kicked I probably would have gone through life thinking I was invincable, picking fights with everyone I could. I also think the same about bullying. In a way, it can be good, it shows you just what the world is really like. As long as it doesn't get to the point of suicide, I think getting bullied every now and then is good because it humbles you.
I used to get bullied in elementary, I was a complete social outcast. I never got invited to birthdays or anything. In Jr High, things got better. I still got bullied by a few people, but not nearly as much as in elementry. Now I'm in high school, and I'd like to think my life is pretty good, and that I'm a good person because of what I've gone through.
So yeahh, all in all I agree with you lol. Not necesarily for the same reasons, but I do think bullying can be good to an extent.
