The thing about bullying in my school is that you could either beat the kid up(which will get you in trouble) or you could tell a teacher (whch will result with them calling you a wuss and letting them bully even more) Personally, I frigging don't know what to do.

Insult Dr. Javelin for trivializing your situation. It'll make you feel better.

Insulting me makes almost everything feel better. I should patent it as Javelin Therapy.

(don't worry I don't mind insults)

You could have them pay you for it.

INSULTING ME NOW COSTS MONEY

MY INSULTING YOU BACK IS COMPLIMENTARY
 
Cartoon Network is doing a thing about bullying:


Don't know if it'll help, especially with their current "image" of themselves.

This enforces the "don't fight, tell an adult" idea of dealing with bullying.
 
I find it sickening when people say "tell an adult." That DOESN'T work, it never has, and it probably never will. You get branded as a nark and that directly results in being bullied more. Weren't the people who promote tattle-tailing ever kids themselves? Don't they know the social consequences of snitching?

Even more disgusting is that bullies will tattle-tail ON THE PERSON THEY'RE BULLYING as another method of bullying, except they don't face the consequences of being called a snitch because all of their friends get in on the smear campaign.

In my experience, everything I've mentioned happens as early as 4th/5th grade, and then all the way through junior high and beyond.

Apparently, all the bullies in the commercials have the mind of Swiper the Fox.

Adult or Bystander: Stop!
Bully: Okay, I'm sorry! I now know the error of my ways.
 
Reminds me of an episode of Animaniacs, where Skippy had a bully, and since the network was breathing down on Slappy for using violence, both they and Skippy's guidance counseler encouraged your standard ways of dealing with bullies, namely ignoring them, talking to them, befriending them, etc. The bully was pretty stupid, and needless to say, none of the methods worked until Skippy finally went to Slappy, and they basically blew him up with fireworks and turned him into a doormat in the process.

Don't forget the Adventure Time episode "His Hero", where Finn and Jake try to use non-violence to help people, but they botch it. They later save an old lady with violence, and she says that they should help people with violence, because that's what they were born to do.

and don't listen to old people.
