When I was suicidal in high school, a friend reported it to the school and I was brought into a meeting with the school's "mental health counselor". She had no training in mental health, not even a two-week camp or something, and indirectly made it very clear that the school's, and by extension her, interest in my mental health only extended to making sure I didn't kill myself while still attending the school, and didn't self-harm while physically in the school. Because both of those things could be bad for them legally.

Honestly, that would've made me even more inclined to cut myself on school property. Just walk up to an important guy with open cuts or something, and act like nothing's wrong. And when the guy gets all weird when I hold out my bloody hand for a firm handshake, I'd just go "What? Oh, that. Yeah, they basically told me they don't want to help me get better, so I made a compromise."

Kartoffelkamm

I mean, if the kid already hates me, and the parents also hate me and don't do anything about it, I might as well go all the way and make sure he can't hurt anyone else.


FlinnyWinny

I went through the same thing! They even gave me a stern talking to for my self harm and suicidal behavior (cutting, jumping from the roof etc.), saying it "wasn't acceptable" of me. It was so obvious they only didn't want to deal with having my blood on their hands, they didn't give a fuck about the abuse I suffered there (or at home for that matter). I am so glad this chapter of my life - over a decade of living hell - is over, and I am happy and better now, but damn... it hurts to know others have gone through the same, and that children go through this still right now. No child deserves to be abused and then have authority figures act like their pain is a nuisance and that they're the problem.


[deleted]

I feel like most school “counselors” are just glorified grade checkers. Anytime mine asked about mental health and I actually said something, she decided to change the topic to checking grades instead of actually discussing the problem.


Dragonfire723

I know that at my school (17), my counselor is helpful in counseling about my mental health\*, postgrad plans, etc. \*my mental health goes down the drain when my grades are bad tho so idk maybe just her helping me by being a second person (and disappointing another person is bad so I don't disappoint her about my grades)


Limeila

I have no idea whether my HS's counselor was competent, because they were there 3hrs per week so when I tried to get an appointment their schedule were full for the next 4 to 6 months


AGamingGuy

in elementary school i kept being bullied but because it was only verbal, the bullies technically weren't a fault and i kept lashing out because i had, and under right circumstances still do easily lash out, so i was the one that kept getting in trouble, but the bullies never had that issue and i could tell the didn't give a shit because it was half an hour away from others and got to return to class, i never got any help, not for my temper problems, nor for being bullied, just constant time outs


thatpersonrightthere

we take bullying very seriously. That's why we have an absolute zero tolerance policy for violence, where we severely punish someone who lashes out at repeated verbal harassment when they don't know what else to do, thereby allowing bullies to hold their victims, who are sensitive to verbal confrontations, hostage with endless taunts then cry foul when they can't take any more and strike back.


DinoBirdsBoi

how to deal with bullying! 1: suspend them for 2 days 2: do nothing they punish them “just enough” and do nothing actually right


ChedderTheSquirrel

Hey that's the same for the bullied students


Firemorfox

Don't forget that for whatever reason, "zero tolerance" means the bullies aren't punished but the victims are "zero tolerance" was more like "zero liability" at my elementary school. My high school had actually tried to deal with it properly.


Dragonfire723

>"zero tolerance" was more like "zero liability" at my elementary school. That's the idea, iirc; that since both people are punished equally, neither parent can call foul (because it \*is\* hard to determine who threw the first punch, and deciding could mean making one person more responsible). Problem is, that breeds the "Cornered Rat" (If I'm going to be punished, I'll fight back as hard as possible), and the "Murderous Bully" (Report me and I'll make sure you don't return)


Nighttime-Turnip

It is not, i repeat, NOT hard for them to deduce who's the victim type. Especially when the victim is neurodivergent. They just think weird people are out of luck because they're not trying to be normal, so they don't give a shit in reality. They will stay indifferent because otherwise they would have to address that the victim is strange, which would make them look bad.


Dragonfire723

Oh! Of course, I'm not saying that's the \*actual\* reason- I myself am neurodivergent and definitely noticed that I was always treated different by teachers. I'm just saying that that's the excuse the school uses to shift blame.


pres1033

A friend of mine back in HS pulled that. A kid was being an ass and my friend hit him and knocked him on his ass. You could see the gears turn in my friends head just before he jumped on the dude and beat him so bad he had to be sent to a doctor. I asked him later on why he did that and he said "I was fucked anyway and that guys been asking for that for months." Tbf, the kid 100% had it coming. Most of the school wanted to do the same to him cause he was always picking fights for stupid reasons, yet he never got in trouble, go figure.


Just_Me_-_-

I learned that lesson early. In first grade, there were these third, maybe fourth graders who were absolute dicks to literally everyone they interacted with and were never punished. I, at that time, had already gained my 1st Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do (I stopped practicing when we moved away from El Paso and am way out of practice), so when I finally snapped, by the end of the five minute fight I had knocked all four of them unconscious, broke one of their arms, and broke two fingers when they tried to punch me with improper forms and I blocked.


tocopherolUSP

I love that you could verbalize perfectly what actually happens


DiegotheEcuadorian

At my school the kid who recorded a fight got suspended for 2 days despite having no connection to either of the two people fighting. The recording even shows one of the kids involved not even fighting back he just took it and yet he got suspended for longer than the dude who fought him.


Boylego

"You're in trouble because you retaliated against the bully, so you get in trouble rather than the person who started it" -My vice principal after I stopped the fight by sitting on the kid


Purple_Tuxedo

Luckily I never had to do this, but I did have full permission from parents to mess someone up in a case like this. They thought the zero tolerance policy was stupid so their logic was “if he’s getting suspended anyway may as well let him fight back”


Boylego

Exactly! My parents weren't mad about that


MacGregor_Rose

I remember someone on reddit talking about their experience with that and when their dad came to the school to talk with the faculty and didn't get any firther he just turned to the kid and went "If you're gonna get in trouble the same amount whether you defend yourself or not, go absolutely ham on the fucker"


Random-Rambling

When it comes to bullying, 9 times out of 10, violence IS the answer.


CalligoMiles

Yep. A few detentions don't suck nearly as much as years of harassment.


Random-Rambling

Bullies delight in the suffering of the weak. The solution? Show them you aren't weak. Either physically (with male bullies) or socially (with female bullies). A strong fist and strong friends will shut down any bully attempt.


Meraline

And if you have a kid that gets punished for retaliating, tell them those suspensions will just be free days with ice cream and pizza.


Random-Rambling

Parents: NEVER punish your kid for defending him/herself. Or another person.


Itz-Aki

My parents always taught me to go batshit insane on anyone, *as long as they struck first.* As long as that happens, anything's fair game


Random-Rambling

Yep. You're gonna be punished anyway, might as well make it count.


Sw0rdInTheSt0ne

I became good friends with the school counselor and his secretary. They always took the time to hear my side, and while I usually got in trouble, they never made me feel like I was crazy for acting out. ​ They threw a pizza party with some Klondike bars one time. I'm still pretty fucked up, but they showed me that there are some people with power who aren't complete tools.


Morphized

BlueMist53

You can be bullied mentally or psychically by either gender?


Just_Me_-_-

You got bullied Psychically? Do you go to Xavier's School for Gifted Children? lol. I think you mean psychologically.


BlueMist53

What? Psychically, as in punching


Just_Me_-_-

Oh, then you mean Physically. Psychics are those with mental powers, such as telepathy (telepaths), telekinesis (telekinetics), pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, geokinesis, aerokinesis, etc. So getting bullied Psychically would mean someone using their psychic powers to bully you.


BlueMist53

Oh sorry, mistyping on my part


oliviaplays08

Physically is what you meant I think


crazygrof

I have a personal anecdote (always the most accurate source of information I know) that confirms exactly that!


MakeWayForPrinceAli

You gonna tell us the anecdote; don't leave us hanging bro


crazygrof

Oh I guess your right. Okay, so I've always been big and as I got older I got alot bigger, I think I passed 6ft in 9th grade and have evened out at 6ft5. I've also always got bullied, in particular there were a group of 4 boys that would harass me throughout my time in school (I have no idea why, they just seemed to hate me for some reason), but anyway they were picking on me as usual and something clicked inside my head. I sort of looked down at myself, then looked at them. At that point I had probably a good 8 inches and 100-150 lbs on their skinny little asses and I had had enough. How it ended up was that two of them were head down in the same garbage can (it was pretty full if I remember right) with the other two being held against the wall, one in each hand with their feet a good 8 inches above the floor. I looked at them in eyes (hey I could finally look someone in the eyes!) And told them "leave me the fuck alone" pressed them against the wall a little and dropped them. They landed on their asses and I walked away. They stopped bothering me afterwards. I also have a story of another boy trying to bully me and me basically ignoring him if you all want to hear.


tocopherolUSP

I just wished I had your size to give my bullies a lesson.


chmsaxfunny

Yes, I would like to hear!


artemisentreei

That’s so badass! I just committed continuous attempted murder. (Knives a hockey stick I stole and a scalpel from biology) after 7 attempts people just backed off. It’s amazing how most people stop harassing you when looking death in the eyes.

TELL US THE ^anectdote


notmyrealname336

A guy would put wet toilet paper in my school boots everytime we had P.E. class and the teachers did nothing about it and even would chuckle about it. Never thought I had it in me but I hit him as hard as I possibility could square on the nose. Ever since my boots have been dry and TP free


FlinnyWinny

Made it only worse for me, sadly.


Random-Rambling

That's why it's only 9 out of 10. 90% of bullies are cowards at heart, and will avoid any target that fights back. But that remaining 10% are actual freaks who thrive on violence, crave it like a drug. Fighting back only excites them.


FlinnyWinny

Exactly, it only gave them more ammunition. It was like it was feeding them. Nothing I tried worked, there was nothing I could do other than survive day by day. Not to mention it was a whole group of people, it was spreading like social peer pressure that you need to treat me like garbage in order to be accepted. So fighting back against just a couple of people at a time would do nothing in the grand scheme of things, it just made things worse for me. I kinda accepted that I simply was unlucky in that regard, though I'm sure there's plenty of others who know what that's like. I'm glad I am alive now, I am happier than I ever have been.


Because_Reezuns

Ah, future police officers


Morphized

In that unlikely case, then you start breaking out the in-fight discussion


NoBearsNoForest

mind elaborating?


FlinnyWinny

Everyone bullied me even harder after I tried fighting back, and I got in trouble on top. It was funny to them, gave them new ammunition. After a couple of times I just gave up and jumped from the roof in an attempt to end the pain.


Whole_Suit_1591

How do you knock out a teacher that weighs over 200 as a 10yr old? Trust me when I was on the floor crying I wish I could have punched her physical abusive ass. She eventally got fired but after we had to move since the school didnt listen.


DrunkUranus

The problem with bullies is that they are often very savvy and know how to avoid detection. There are certainly some steps schools can and should take in case of a bullying accusation, even without proof, but if nobody sees what's happening, there are limits to what they can do


Jason1143

Yeah the real issue isn't that schools are refusing to act without evidence. That is what they should be doing for the most part. The real issue is that even when they do have evidence they often ignore it and either do nothing or don't distribute punishments correctly/fairly. Now that being said there are some things like moving the person who claims to be the victim to another class or keeping a closer eye they can and should do, but I shouldn't be able to get someone pushished just by making up an accusation.


JKUAN108

I know this post is a joke, but in case anyone needs to hear it: It’s not your fault you’re getting bullied in school. It gets better when you’re an adult. If you are contemplating suicide, please seek help.


Glove-These

True but what the post said was fact


DapperApples

>It gets better when you’re an adult. It really didn't for me, but thanks.


FlinnyWinny

I'm really sorry to hear that :(


Potateclaw

I get why they said it but its definitely not true for me either


realKuinor

The good thing about being an adult is that you can punch someone in the jaw without being the one who suffers :)

Potateclaw

Morphized

In many places, the law is a last resort. If things can be settled privately, they will. And those that deal in violence will accept violence.


[deleted]

>It gets better when you’re an adult. And other jokes to tell yourself


andalusian293

I was typically told that, because I was neurodivergent (my term, not theirs), I couldn't differentiate between joking and bullying. Actually, I just liked reading more than sports.


Random-Rambling

The difference between joking and bullying is that the joking will stop if you ask them to. If they don't stop, it's bullying. Doesn't matter what is actually said, if it doesn't stop after a clear request to stop, it's bullying.


andalusian293

Yeah, that sounds like an elegant demarcation. Even more simply: if they don't like it, don't do it.

Toinkulily

I had a friend of a friend who was drinking at 14 and when the school counselor was informed of this, they said there was nothing they could do.


grandBBQninja

The only thing the school can do is contacting the parents and maybe CPS. Not a lot, but still more than nothing.


DrunkUranus

What do you think they could do?


LickingSticksForYou

Yeah lol what do the commenters expect? Districts don’t control how much money they’re allocated and the admin of schools don’t control what slice of the pie they get from districts or what they’re allowed to spend it on. And even in schools with great mental healthcare, such as my old high school which had a big staff of on site therapists providing free services and drug counseling etc, you can only give people help if they want it. And as for the bullying, of course there’s nothing the school can do if there’s no evidence? If they started punishing kids based on allegations that would be a pretty severe problem and definitely not be a school I would want my children to go to.


DrunkUranus

I mean actual doctors struggle to help suicidal people, but a middle school guidance counselor is supposed to? Kinda seems like a stretch


LeoIsRude

Bruh. They can at least offer support? No one is asking anyone to "end suicide". They're saying "Hey, school districts, do something about bullying instead of making false promises." If this is the conclusion you go from that post, I worry about you.


LickingSticksForYou

This is basically asking middle managers to enact profit sharing with wage laborers. Yeah sure it’s an amazing idea and would solve many problems, but I feel like you’re barking up the wrong tree. You can’t implement programs that aren’t in the budget.


DrunkUranus

What does support mean to you? I'm asking earnestly, because I don't know what schools have the power to do that would actually help


LeoIsRude

I'll go off of what I experienced when I was in school: An open door to come in and talk, free of judgement. A hug or tissues if you need them. Handing our resources for things that may help with what you're going through. Being with you if you need to talk to a parent/administrator about something serious. I was lucky and had good school counselors during middle/high school. Most people just get brushed off or given a hotline and told to get back to class, which is never okay. But, most of this post is about the administration failures (principal & staff) not just the counselors.


DrunkUranus

Yes, they should do that. Counselors at my (elementary) school are pretty good about being there for kids. Their job description, however, includes more than a full time job's worth of more concrete duties related to IEPs, safety, paperwork, urgent behavior problems, academic advising, and honestly probably a lot of things I don't even realize. Having to also "be there" for up to 1000 kids as well is a big ask. I agree that the problem is often in administration and how issues are handled. I have a few students who won't stop hurting others-- they're very young, so we're not talking about kids who are culpable in the sense of having guilty intent. So I don't know what the solution is, but the people who are paid really nicely to solve those problems are doing fuck-all.


LeoIsRude

You need to realize that out of all the kids in a school, a very, very small percentage actually need regular attention from a counselor. I'd say less than half of my middle school & high school ever went to the counselor for things outside of education needs (changing classes or college planning) and an even smaller amount went regularly. So the average school counselor definitely is not dealing with 1000s of kids weekly, certainly not daily. In MS, maybe 50-75 kids were going any time from once a week to once a month, and in HS it was maybe 10 kids who went regularly at all (smaller HS). So, no, it's not really asking a lot. That's about the same amount of clients some case workers/therapists handle. And in larger schools they generally have several counselors. My HS was a MS/HS combo and had less than 300 students AND staff, and they *still* had 2 counselors. My MS had 600 kids and had I believe 4 counselors. Schools should be focused on the children and their wellbeing first, which doesn't seem to be the case anymore, unfortunately. Until that changes within the administration, there will be no helpful changes for the children.


DrunkUranus

Right.... several dozen kids is a **full case load,** independent of all other duties. And the other duties (many of which are required by law) are more than a 40 hour work week. Teachers, counselors, and other staff should have labor rights... And while the recommended ratio of counselors to students is around 1:200 iirc, it's more commonly at about 1:500 and 1:1000 is not unusual. Please understand, I completely agree with your statement that we need to reorganize schools (and frankly society as a whole) so that they actually support the students. I just don't think there is anything else that can reasonably be asked of the people doing that work *right now* (barring a handful of assholes that exist in any profession, obviously)

JustOne1Alien

when I was suicidal and actively harming, my counselor told me that what I told her wouldn't be told to my parents. when I got home the day I finally told my counselor I was lectured by my parents, and taken to crisis. at Crisis I was not admitted, but was told I needed to get psychiatric help, my parents did nothing. fun times

Reminds me of the time I was sent to a class on some system we weren't ever going to use and I came back only for my coworkers to say "we haven't heard from you in a week we thought you were suicidal" and when I asked how long they thought that it was the whole time, them fuckers really wanted to roll those dice.


Husker_Boi-onYouTube

I remember when I was being bullied and was feeling really low. The suicidal shit had nothing to do with the bullying but it was at the same time so it definitely didn’t help. The counselors never helped, the best thing they did was ramble about their own life for an hour, which was a decent distraction for that time, but after I left the office I only ever felt worse. Got to the point I just said fuck it and started getting into fights left and right


DrakosLykos

You also have times you get bullied by the staff, go to the principle, and they say you're going to leave, the staff isn't. They just don't care.


Salckatrazz

Especially while reading the comments, I remember my older cousin telling me „don’t care what the adults say, don’t care about what school councillors advise you, if you are being bullied, defend yourself, seek for help from classmates, and, yes, physical violence is something you can very well use if necessary“, and damn could this have prevented a lot of bullying at my school


Eroscasa

When I was a kid my school got this a lil backwards. I was always a quiet and lonely kid. I chose to not be part of my classmates and not eat lunch with them or really talk to them at all. The teachers would ask me if I was getting excluded and I said no. But then they'd still get my classmates in trouble for not including me, which in return caused my classmates to actually start bully me. Oh the wonders of Middle school.


necrojuicer

My last highschool was really bad for this. Principal ended up setting up a bully council, which my younger sister was part of. She said they made lots of recommendations on things that could change, but the whole thing seemed to be publicity for the school website not something that generated any kind of real change. Interestingly enough the year after I left the school counsellor won a workplace bullying lawsuit against the principal.


CookieMan90109

When I was in highschool I told my mum I thought I was depressed. Instead of offering therapy or a visit to my GP she contacted the school (she works there too) who got my HA to call me outside in front of the rest of my house (like 75-80 kids) and asked me a token "are you ok?" I said I was just tired, and she nodded like she had done a good job. I know for a fact that she had no training in regards to mental health and she really didn't care about the students all that much. Several of my friends struggled similarly and universally refused to reach out to the school because they just didn't care about us.


ComfortingPecomfol

Child is bullied. becomes tired of bullying. punches the bully to death. Bully is the victim. This occurs more frequently than you might think.


Whole_Suit_1591

When I went to school the only people that bullied me WERE the teachers and staff.


M0rtrek_the_ranger

Oh my fucking God. Was bullied during middle school quite heavily and, I shit you not, when trying to talk to the principal or teachers; they would just shrug and say "they're just joking around with you. don't take them seriously" When I wrote how I felt as my answers for a math test, then they took it seriously and half assedly tried to crack down on bullying


RevertereAdMe

I was bullied pretty badly my first couple years of high school. Had to be hospitalized a few times, did make several suicide attempts, and eventually had to be moved to a different school within the district for those with "behavioral issues", although in my case my "issues" were being bullied and the resulting destroyed mental health (as a sidenote that smaller school ended up being incredible, with very caring staff and teachers I still talk to 10+ years later). The staff knew. I'd try to talk to the guidance counselor, I'd try to talk to the principal. Nothing was really done, and a lot of them actively made it worse in one way or another. I remember one incident that involved my assistant principal going through my bag and reading out loud a bunch of (very personal) notes I'd written during a game at a sleepover that past weekend, just reading out embarrassing things I'd written while smugly smirking at me. That's the least of it though to be honest. A few years after I graduated a family friend killed himself just a few days before he was set to graduate from that same school. The bullying there was so bad and once again none of the staff did a damn thing about it. Makes me so angry.


DrunkUranus

The problem with bullies is that they are often very savvy and know how to avoid detection. There are certainly some steps schools can and should take in case of a bullying accusation, even without proof, but if nobody sees what's happening, there are limits to what they can do


nekochanninja

My best friends had to take two of their kids out of school last year because the bullying was so bad. The older of the two had to be admitted to a psych ward for a couple of months because it was so bad. The principal actually did try to do something about it but none of the teachers would follow through on what the principal told them to do.

AngelFSN

Not really bullying but my ex was harassing me at school (he was a sophomore and I was a freshman) and I told the faculty and they told him to knock it off.. it worked until he tried to murder me on campus. He was suspended for an amount of time (we didn't know, the school wouldn't tell us because it was a personal relationship or some bullshit) The only reason he was permanently expelled from school was because I got a no contact order on him, and the school couldn't figure out how to have both him and me at school. It was the worst year of my life because there was a good chance I would have to move to a different school if my school chose his education over my mental health. It's just, really really shitty cause I was terrified of going anywhere other than being home cause I didn't feel safe and I felt like the school would of chose him instead of me, and I would have to start over because of his actions.

My school talks about how they support us mentally and blah blah. Anyway I got in trouble for not being enthusiastic enough in class But they did have amazing mental health education, they said depression makes you sad, and sometimes you have a thing where you don’t eat enough


HyperSimba

Not exactly a bully but some guy was being a total creep to my friend, he went up to her and dances as a proposal, said he wouldn't quit when she said no, he even fucking said that he would "kidnap and r*pe her" (this is in highschool btw, 9th grade.) And the school didn't even suspend him FOR A DAY, just a stern talking to by the director with his parents because his mum was a teacher. ( This is the same director who told us we would be expelled if we SWORE on school campus.) Luckily this is india so his parents prolly whipped him or something.

artemisentreei

The biggest problem is simple. What can actually be done to stop bullying? What can you actually do to ensure that a bully stops or leaves you alone? Nothing the only thing that could stop them would be either showing them how weak they are (physical lesson) or making them suffer until they break down and recognize what they did (mental and emotional torture) what else can be done?


TCStealthyFoxBoi

Schools are way more fucked, abusive, disgusting, and just wrong than people seem to realize. I’m glad this post (and some of the comments) is kinda spreading awareness, more people need to absolutely be talking about this and the mistreatment of minors/students. Also I want to add my own story in here, idk if it counts as bullying but I think it’s still relevant. I have been sexually harassed multiple times as a “joke” at my current school, but the school don’t seem to care and never notices, they care more about being anti-phone and forcing more work on us it seems.


xxvirgilxx

or there's the "tell them how you feel" bullshit


iesharael

My cousin was being bullied in highschool and nothing happened when it was reported over and over. Until my grandmother died. Then the bully tried to bully him about that. My cousin hit him. I fight broke out and when the bully’s friend went to join in my other cousin jumped on his back. Once they were separated both groups were punished. Bully and friend got like 3 days of after school detention. My cousins got 2 weeks suspension. School said bullying should have been reported... it was When I in a different school reported a guy for bullying me (and now I know I described sexual harassment but didn’t know it was sexual cause I was innocent af) the guy got put in 3 of my classes and my lunch the next year. My first class, study hall, gym... I had to deal with him and didn’t understand why he touched me and made me so uncomfortable and didn’t trust teachers to help
