Yeah, I once got bullied by this guy Luis. But then I told my mom and she made it better. jk :)

But being serious, not really. And I'm not the type of person who would take part in that kind of stuff.

When someone bullies you, punish them by terrorizing their car-home-dog.

Any combination of these 3 works.

I had one of those in middle school when I lived in the U.S.
He has no friends because he does elitism...all by himself, his mum was the police officer at the school so he acted all tough and everything yet people used that against him. He was also the youngest in all of his classes because he had jumped up a grade but not any grade he jumped up in, it was first grade! So he acted like he was the smartest kid and boasted about his I.Q. The funny thing was that he had nothing special to boast about, because this was in the gifted classes that he, most of my friends and I was in so we where actually smarter then him, well most of us.
We once had an exursion/field trip for a contest that involved the team I was on that he had forced himself onto through his mum. At the park my friends and I where playing a game where we where throwing the shredded rubber at each other then he joins in but he ends up crying of to his mummy because he was getting rubber shreds chucked at him and made his mum have everyone apalogise 'cept I didn't cause we had done nothing wrong and I wasn't going to say sorry to a little whiny bitch because he can't play a game properly.
He also tried to pick a fight on my friend but my friend actually accepted it and he said that he didn't want to hurt my friend, even though he was wearing one of those tight t-shirts meant to show of your muscles which was really really loose on him.
He also had no idea what laid meant and used it in place of burned in the phrase "you just got burned", very funny too...
He also wanted a ball that me and my friends had in P.E. once and grabbed a wimpy friend of his and said"Thats them..." to him and one of my friends was six feet which was pretty tall at that time so his friend he had gotten had gotten intimidated and was a wimp too.
I should stop before I get carried away.

Luis, just watched Portal of the Damned. I'm surprised you didn't plug it here, or maybe you did and I missed it.

Excellent job. Really a fabulous submission. Too bad you couldn't get it out on time :'(

Sounds good to me man, seriously. Count on me taking you up on that... I'll make sure to buy you the next round too.
I bet we could talk about a lot of shit.

He lives about a minute from the airport on a big fucking hill...

I know exactly where you're talking about. I remember looking for a house to rent in that area with my parents when I was about 7 or 8. My dad suggested I ride my skateboard down the hill we were on and I said "Forget you" surprisingly, he didn't pull off his belt for some reason.
I grew up (the first half) about 5 miles East of there. Nice area, 'cept for those low flying 737's!

If you don't mind me asking, where was the shit school with the bloods you went too? I've lived all over the country and had my run in with the gangs.

Not at all. Like you said, there's been enough time to grow out of the sadness and reflect on a lot of things, becoming a better person out of it all.
It's funny because my first high school, Kearny, (where I got "schooled" in other areas) is actually a really heavy Asian part of town with a whole shitload of Vietnamese gangs, but also happened to be close enough to a few black neighborhoods with a heavy influence of Bloods, and even more fucked up than that, there was even a neighborhood of crappy apartments full of skinheads that went to the same school... my girlfriend's (at the time) brother was one of them. That didn't turn out too well. Those fuckers (skinheads) would drive by my house all high from time to time once they realized I wasn't into their shit. Kind of scary.
The bloods we were just cool with by default... lucky probably. With the Asian gangs there was a cultural/language barrier, the skinheads... those guys were just dangerous to be affiliated with because they were so outnumbered, and kind of unstable anyway. The bloods we never actually hung out with, but we shared weed and we had a few classes together from time to time. We were just the apathetic white kids that were cool with anybody who didn't fuck with us, racial bullshit aside... which there was a LOT of, it doesn't sound like I need to tell you.

Another funny thing, MSN's been showing a lot of prison documentaries... there's a real parallel between prison and public school. Thank god I've never been to the former (A lot of people will die if it ever comes to that... which it never will), but school's just been turned into another god damn institution full of racial gangs and prison violence. What's the point if you can't learn anything other than how to hate, and then that if you ever want to make anything out of yourself, that you've got to learn how to NOT hate? It's like you get built up just to be torn down.

But count on that beer man. I'm probably one of the easiest people to get ahold of, so let me know next time you're down here and we can share some stories. Good times!

This rejectable woman got pregnant and freakishly had 5000 babies.
She needed a plane to transport all of them so she used a big jumbo jet.
One day, on their second flight, the planeexplded over midair and all the kids were shot into the sky and they all landed in different parts of the world. They became adopted and lived lives as the original mother did, rejected.

more stories?

That explains soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, those rejected kids mother must of had some genetic modification to be able to have that many kids that become rejected.

More plz,kthnxbai

The most bullying experience I had was when I was in the U.S. and I was the Australian kid at the two schools I went to, one of the incidents ended in me trying to strangle some prejudice kid. It was really annoying though because everyone thought that Australia was a third world counrty where everyones uncle is Steve Irwin and we say groineys(no-one new how to say it properly...) 24/7 who ride kangaroos, plus no-one woould believe me that Canberra is the capital of Australia.

Did the kids make fun of your accent too?
I really hate the australian accent unfortunatley.
When i got back from spain, i found that the australian accent was extremly annoying because i had to get used to it all over again. I had also lost part of my australian accent and i sound a bit like a spanish person trying to speak english. But i enjoyed my time acting all spanish. It was fun. I was also confused as a spaniard by other spanish people. And when my mum tried to explain that i spoke englsish, they would think i spoke both languages.

I did get made fun of my accent sometimes because I drag out the a's in words that they would say faster, EG. fast, past, shaft and other words.
I kinda like how my voice is now though, it's a hybrid and it doesn't sound like it's a bit southern ( I lived in Florida) or does that annoying thing that most American accents do ( I call it curling). It also doesn't seem to be much like the normal Australian accent and I doubt it will be because I talk in my own slang and stuff like that.

I'm trying to avoid the loser who might go somewhere in life, he's obsessed at being the most proffesional kid in the school that it's so annoying, he's so obsessed that he made fun of me for the size of my tablet.
He brags about his corporate website, his NASA super computer with 859623 monitors and his tablet that's too big which he places on his giant wooden desk.
I think he's trying to make me jealous but it isn't working because he doesn't need half his crap.

Next time he tries to insult you because of your hardware, tell him that you're just that much better because you can make better graphics than him with worse hardware.

Ok but he only uses his tablet for image editing and I have to say that he must of wasted a lot of money on it, the only thing that I actually would get jealous over is software cause I'm using PhotoShop 5 and Studio MX but they get the job done fine for me and I'll be getting a bunch of graphics programs off my aunt Penny next year because she does graphic design as a job.

Handbrakes PHAIL. It's all about positioning near the curb and turning your wheel so the car rolls into the curb to stop it.

Well I'ma plug this flash because I feel that it's underrated and it's worth watching.
Fitch and Jove 7.
It's best if you watch some of the earlier episodes.
This was the first flash series I came upon when I first visited the Flash Portal with an account too.
Oh yeah don't post too much while I'm asleep because this thread is faster then the Flash Forum and I hate having to catch up on posts.

Nah not really. Only during the first year of high school. I wasnt very tall (still aint with 5'8) and weight like 110 pounds. The guy who bullied me was actually pretty funny and never got fysical so it wasnt a big deal. We ended up being good friends later on since we both liked alternative music and had a strange sense of humor.
Nowadays i sometimes still get annoyed when people think of me as a 17- 18 year old since i look pretty young, when im already 22. Especially when i go out clubbing and have to show an ID. But since some ladies seem to be attracted to my 'boybandmember type of look' i'm quite cool with it. I'm definitely a lover not a fighter lol

It's completely the opposite for me. Mostly no one at my school knows any english, and when someone find out of my page, he went all "Diego has a webpage in ENGLISH" and then everyone started calling me nerd. >_<

And they still do because im the only one that gets a A+ on english in the whole 9th grade... :P

wonder why it would be.

It's actually quite a long tale. It all started with videogames. ;D Games are in english, so it was either learn it, or die from boredom. I have NO idea how i went learning however... I still sucked at it two years ago. Then i started going to forums and crap, and that's what perfected it. :D

At least, I consider it perfect for me.

Anyway this whole bullying issue, you only get bullied if your asking for it. If you keep your comments to yourself nothing happens, dont go out looking for a fight. I dont get bullied or ever have, i never got in a fight or anything. Pussie you say? no just not an idiot. Get in a fight with a big gang of people and youl end up worse.

Ooh, controversial :P

You have a point, though. I got bullied at primary school and the start of secondary because I was a dick. As soon as you appreciate that, stop acting like a victim all the time and appreciate when you're being a wanker things look up. People don't just pick on you for no reason; they do it because you're an irritating little cunt.

I agree that you get bullied if you're asking for it. But there are some people that will buly everybody, no matter what. When I got bullied from this kind of people, I try to laugh at them or try to be really flegmatic, not giving shit about it. That's what makes them angry, when they don't succeed at bringing you down.

You've never been bullied so you wouldnt know then... nobody ASKS to be bullied thats the most hypocritical thing ive ever heard. You think people want to be made miserable, gimmie a break.

I think that the art of bullying/being bullied comes down to individuals who have nothing better to do than to snipe at easy targets... they look for people who are weak and easily swayed. I agree with you in that the best thing to do is not reliate... i was bullied a good chunk of my life and never got in a fight or anything. I was extremely miserable though. And thats what they want you to be, the key is not letting it phase you. The worst thing you can do to a bully is not be phased by their efforts. If i had to go back in time being where i am and being who i am now then i'd have a better attitude about it and wouldnt have let it make me so miserable because once you grow older, nobody has the time to dwell on how cheap your clothes are or how short you are... its definately a temporary storm you have to live through. Had I recognized that when i was younger i'd have felt alot better, but as a young person you dont see it as ever stopping and you get so depressed about it. I like to think that every dog has its day, and some of us just have to wait a little longer but in the end its worth it.

People making me feel like shit for so many years only inspired me to work on my art and find power in other mediums of communication and it was worth it because now i am doing what i love to do and i am respected for it. So the lesson is just stay your course and know that high school is just a temporary thing. Let other people fuck around and dwell on being the most popular for 4 years or whatever ... let em have that, when its over nobody will give a shit everyone moves on with their lives. All your beloved popularity and power is gone when you have gone on to college/real life.

Ok, so maybe i havnt ever experienced it so i dont know but what i do know is that there are really big geeks/nerds in my school who dont get bullied and thats because there not cunts, annoying people. Boasting how good they are.
The people that do tend to get bullied and are nerds are mainly people that show-off and generally piss people off.
There are also the other bullies that just pick on anyone, like yourself for no particular reason, and they probably dont realise what they are doing to you. They just want to act big, these are the faggot-bullies. The ones that call names and slowely pull you down emotionally. If you react to this it starts to get physical.

I don't really have a lot to say about bullying because i've never been bullied. 'Stand up to a bully and they'll leave you alone', you get told that alot and I think it's true to a certain degree.

Chavs are different. Or just people like that. Say if you walk past a group of them and they start mouthing off, it's different because it's just that they don't even know you. If you stand up to them you're gunna get your head kicked in, so just keep your head low and 'jog on', as you do.

a child under 18.

I thought you had to be 16 to legally have sex. I also thought it was 14 for boys, 16 for girls but maybe that was just a rumour.

I think people who are bullying are not self-confident and they want too feel like they are better than others. Nobody usually bully people who are different, weird, but have self-confidence, because they do what they want to do and don't give shit about what others think.

I don't know if this was already asked before in this thread - what do you do when you're not making flash movies or games? Do you have any other hobby?
I'm on computer a lot, usually making flash stuff and being on newgrounds. But I feel like shit after a few hours of sitting in front of computer. So I go skateboarding and I feel much better after it. I just want to say that you feel pretty bad if you're doing just one thing all the time. At least I do.

If you read the rest of the article, it says that is illegal for an adult (21+ I assume) to have sex with someone under 18, even if they are 'legal' in the sense of being 16 or 17. Good law, I'd say.
