That was my sentiment when having my life made a living Hell by a hateful bully, with no adult helping to stop it.

What I experience in that one year at a new high school was bizarre and brutal, and deeply uncalled for. And changed me forever into someone who does not like seeing peoples victimizing other humans with the disease of hatred and bigotry.

A bully is a bully, is a bully. There may be, however, a distinction between "hate sites" and bullies. I would hate(whoops,will not erase this Freudian slip), to see the two confused. A school bully- the ones that I encountered- honest, were not haters. They simply liked the perversity of making someone cowtow,or suffer.

I know for a fact that in retrospect, if one completely broke down and cried, they sneered, only, didnt hate. Oh yes, they had toadies aplenty. I hope Freepers will bear with me here.

I heard fifty years later, of an engineer fellow, from my own old area in England, took a trip back to the old district. (Northwood, Middlesex). He could only get a drink in a private men's club. He was invited in without a membership. A man took kindly to him and insisted on buying this expatriate returnee drinks.

I grilled him for more- the man was the brother of ye olde school bully boy. This he(engineer) said: " Was a bad family, members in and out of jail, bad reputation etc". He mentioned that the man was a really inebriated, but nice guy now.

No, I think that the quintessential school bully is a separate entity. I have logged into hate sites though- The true way is the educated and diplomatic conservative rebuttal etc to promote the cause best- nevertheless let all fire away. P.S. Got bullied myself and did hit back- here and there. Cheers.
