Jason: Well, the “gook lover” remarks at a church by these hick retards has kept me away from there for at least 20 years. But of course they’re not sensitive or sophisticated enough to see their error.
No! That’s no good! All adults should know that bullying people like that is wrong. No excuse.
I just don’t think that kids are capable of understanding that teasing, bullying, and fighting is wrong.
My brothers and I teased, bullied and fought with each other constantly. It was mostly the middle brother and I tormenting my youngest brother. I asked my Mom about this and she said it was actually mostly the middle brother, B., tormenting the youngest brother and beating him up. She says I wasn’t in on it all that much.
B. would tease T. to get a reaction out of him, and of course T. rose to the bait and attack B. It was never a fair fight. B. then used this as an excuse to kick T.’s ass.
We all had insulting names for each other. One was named “Moose” and the other was named “Tomasina” (insulting his masculinity). I was called Bob the Snob. Later in my 20’s I was called Bob the Knob or just Knob (literally calling me a penis) when people got mad at me. We had a sister nicknamed “Meryl.”
These constant fights and wars greatly upset my father and he called us to these family discussions about the fights at the dinner table so many times that I can’t even count them. He would say, “We failed! We failed as parents!” while my Mom would nod her head somberly.
We kids just thought it was all a big stupid joke. We would say amongst ourselves, “They ‘failed as parents’ because we boys fight? That’s stupid! They haven’t failed as parents at all other than being idiots! Fighting is normal! All boys fight. Besides, it’s a blast!”
We were told probably hundreds of times that this teasing, bullying, and fighting was wrong, but it simply didn’t get into our thick skulls.
When I think of bullying those effeminate Hunt (Cunt) Brothers, joining in with 15 other boys and beating up DN for crying, bullying MD for being an outrageously buffoonish and idiotic nerd, or bullying DS (Dickie) for being a psycho, I don’t remember anyone ever telling us to knock it off.
I think my parents even approved of bullying Dickie because he was such a psycho. They probably thought it was funny watching him chase us on his crutches like that.
No one ever told us not to bully crybabies, flaming queens, or preposterous nerds. Adults didn’t witness most of it. A lot of it was at school, and I don’t remember anyone trying to stop us at school either. We bullied MD out on the playground in 8th grade and that area in 8th grade just seemed to be a constant zone of teasing, bullying, and fighting anyway.
If anyone would have told us to stop bullying these outliers, we would have laughed right in their faces. We simply could not see why it was wrong. I don’t think kids are capable of recognizing that this sort of thing is bad. They don’t think it’s bad. They think it’s fun.
I speak only of boys here. I have no idea if girls are this vicious. My opinion is that boys are simply more or less evil.

We’re almost all bullied on some level. What’s worse is one kid being bullied or picked on by everyone in the neighborhood, school, team, ect. I was never that kid but that has to suck. There was always one or two like this. Bob is right that adults should know better. I’ve seen teachers, coaches, and adult neighbors pick on this type of outcast.
I would highly disagree with this. Well, psycho boys and constant crybabies would be the exception (as targets), but seriously, there’s no justification for the obnoxious bullying kids do. In fact, they do it because the parents don’t see it as wrong. I mean, you’re seriously telling me that the kid’s old man doesn’t think nerds are shit also?
Honestly, pop or mom is normally an obnoxious jerk and often someone is weak (soft grandparents who won’t punish, parent who won’t punish).
