Read an article on yahoo that said much more of it goes on in middle school than h.s. and elem. I remember seeing this too. Why do you think this is?

If you're trying to generate discussion, this is a shitty way to go about it.

Most bullying happened to me in elementary school. However, to answer the question...

I don't know how it is in other places, but in my county, the kids from several elementary schools graduate and go on to a unified middle school. So there's a lot of strangers meeting for the first time. That's probably the main reason. Also, the middle school and high school students ride the bus together. I'm guessing that's because some of the older high schoolers drive. When you're just starting middle school, those high school kids can be pretty intimidating.

I think it's just easier to get away with, kids aren't taken as seriously.

Much as violence by women is laughed off, violence by kids isn't treated seriously, completely ignoring that the target is also a child.

Combination of puberty messing with your predatory instincts while still having the mentality of a child. Basically we turn into annoying "alpha" dogs who need to be slapped in the nose and learn their place.

Most my bulling was in secondary school(high school) and it was much more worse then the 'kids being kids' bulling in primary school before that so from experience I'd say most bulling goes on in secondary school. Still kids tend to get a free pass for most things so it wouldn't surprise me if this article is correct.

were you kinda small and scrawny? I don't remember very many of the really tall or bigger guys getting bullied, but then i read that michael phelps said he used to get bullied a lot, i just didn't see it

Lanky and I'm still lanky. I wasn't one to do anything back though save for one or two times so that probably gave a green light. With that said me and my family had trouble with these of these folk out of school too in short so maybe not.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were true. That's an age when people are finding their own identity. Some people desperately want to feel superior, so they treat others as if they're inferior.

yeah do those bullies ever stop unless they get their ass handed to them first? I've heard people say before that by doing nothing you're attracting even more bullies to you. And wwinter do you think most of your bullies or bullies in general grow out of it and turn out to be productive and good adults?

I wouldn't know as I haven't done anything first however the times I stood up to some of them have made said bulling a little less.

Absolutely not. Case in point one of them actually got deported back to Jamaica despite his Farther murdered in Jamaica. This guy also served a 27-month prison sentence for an assault involving him using a baseball bat on another man and served a five-year youth custody sentence for firearms offences all after he left school. Probably a lot more than this under his belt too. I feel bad for his kids more than anything. Not his wife and she knows very well what he's like. Probably before even having kids with him. Still I see this as karma.

A lot of these bullies are either too secure in their family's power - they can get away with things because that is the nature of their family.

Or it's just the opposite, and they don't have any source of control outside of bullying.

Of course, some people are just inherently rotten.
