Hey Pandas, Ever Been Bullied? Did You Stand Up To Them?
Let's talk about it, bullies aren't new to the school, they have always been around. Work bully, boss bully, sibling bully, no matter which one I want to hear your stories. Did you get revenge? Did somebody else handle it for you?

i've been bullied several times over the years. in kindergarten a kid stuck his hand down my shirt and he was always really mean to me so i went home and told my grandpa about it and i think they got him suspended or something for a few days. and then in sixth grade, the bully that hurt me the worst. we're even gonna call him by name. dj. he rode the same bus as me, and we had spots on the bus and of course i was right across the aisle from him. my best friend's twin brother sat next to him and my best friend sat next to me. he left us alone at first but then one day this girl threw a paper airplane and it hit me in the shoulder. okay, that's fine, probably a mistake so i picked it up. and it hit me again. and again. so finally i crumpled the paper airplane and gave it back to her. well she had quite a bit of a temper and she was friends with dj so from then on dj would be awful and make remarks about me, like how i was so annoying and little things like that, but then it was about my body. at a certain point my best friend's twin brother joined in with him and they were teasing my best friend a bit too. one day dj called us fat, i don't remember exactly what he said but i remember the brother agreeing and us trying not to cry. that's where my body image issues got so much worse. and we never told anyone because we didn't know how, or we were too embarrassed or something. anyway, i still see dj around school two years later, i don't think he even remembers me, i look really different. which i guess is a good thing. but the fact that he hurt me so bad, that the hurt is still happening? and he doesn't even remember? it just makes me want to punch him honestly.
Was in the first grade. Standing up to them only made things worse. They got more kids to beat me up (daily) and the teachers did nothing. Was attacked on my way home by getting my face smashed into the sidewalk was the last straw and I was moved to a different school. Reason for the bullying: I was not black.
