What you do
You hate me
then I hate myself
What did I do to you
to make you do what you do
You started a rumor
like you always do
through the halls
that I cry in the bathroom stalls
Now every one
laughs at me
when I pass by
they say all I do is cry
You hate me
then I hate myself
what did I do to you
to make you hate me
the way that you do
All the names
that I get called
make me feel like I'm about to fall
away, from here
You don't know a thing about me
you never have
this year
so why
why
do you treat me this way
What have I done to you
You hate me
then I hate myself
What did I do to you
to make you do what you do
You started a rumor
like you always do
through the halls
that I cry in the bathroom stalls
Now every one
laughs at me
when I pass by
they say all I do is cry
You hate me
then I hate myself
what did I do to you
to make you hate me
the way that you do
All the names
that I get called
make me feel like I'm about to fall
away, from here
You don't know a thing about me
you never have
this year
so why
why
do you treat me this way
What have I done to you

How I dealt with a bully....
"Schaffer was his name..."
Short and scrappy with many friends that egged him on.
He continued to torment me endlessly day in and days gone.
Spit wads and rude remarks and threats was just the beginning.
He was always at my heals like a rabid dog continually biting and nipping.
His hair was cut like Moe in the 3 stooge's. Maybe he symbolically
wanted me to be his thud. I hated this menacingly wee little
conundrum. His days were drawing final as my plans would set sail.
For it was on that afternoon in Social studies class. The teacher refusing none the less put my right in front of his chair.
I begged the teacher this was a bad idea. But he shrugged his shoulders and seemingly didn't care.
So this bully behind me kicked the back of the chair then my butt.
I finally got out of my chair and yelled pointing my hand in his face
I have finally had enough!!!!
He got up!!! And was ready to prove his so called Ninja fighting skills
which were of course a smoke screen. I pounded his face so red and his swollen eyes would tear and gleam.
unfortunately the principal caught us he was walking passed the door.
It was my immediate suspension but this proved the loser I never had fear of him anymore.
(Last I heard hes very over weight biker and be glad to finish the job on him...but im an adult not interested in Jail....heheheh)

"Someone Helped me with a bully it was cool...."
This fellow the bully's name was Stanley Synyder.
Big and fat a troublesome slacker...
He use to give me much grief in the old Jr. high days.
Threatening to beat my ass if I didn't give him lunch money
and great praise.
He was what you called a super duper Senior of middle school.
Held back far to long but the admin was afraid to shove him away
and overrule.
Somehow he finally made it into high school not sure how.
They probably faked his grade point average to get his ass
off the ground.
This story has a really great ending... He tried at one last time
to get me in trouble with a great Football player named Carie Baily.
Telling him I called him the "N" word which I never did. When he approached me he patted me on the back and said I know you would never
say such a thing. I answered "Hell No your an awesome Football player everyone loves you I think your cool!!"
Then he went to Stanley and in front of everyone in the main hall had him lick dog crap off his boot!!! After that I didn't see much of Stanley around the school grounds...
(Years later I had seen him he amazingly had no hard feelings lost a lot of weight and seemed a better person)

School Bully
There was a school bully -
who goes by the name Billy
All the girls like him
although dehins sya goli
because he is so pogi...
All the boys hate Billy -
because he stings like a bee,
and all they can do is flee
far from his evil ways
as fast as tutubi...
One day Billy met his fate -
a product of his own follies
He saw a bigger Billy
giving him his own dose of sili
cowardly went home, a bubuli...

Bully Boss
Feels like a wide open space, the other side of this bed
Can't stand this reality so I choose my ego instead
Arrive at work and enter with a strong proud stride
Don't let them see I am scared and lonely inside
Here everything feels right, they are all under me
Makes me feel I could rule the world eventually
I have already picked out my victims, my stepping stone
My footprint on their head helps me reach my throne
A person of importance inside the walls of this place
My failures are many but at least I won this race
Personal life is empty so i get drunk on these powers
Validate my existence for these eight hours
I take from the world what I was never given
Disguise the child as someone who is driven
Feels like a wide open space, the other side of this bed
Can't stand this reality so I choose my ego instead
Arrive at work and enter with a strong proud stride
Don't let them see I am scared and lonely inside
Here everything feels right, they are all under me
Makes me feel I could rule the world eventually
I have already picked out my victims, my stepping stone
My footprint on their head helps me reach my throne
A person of importance inside the walls of this place
My failures are many but at least I won this race
Personal life is empty so i get drunk on these powers
Validate my existence for these eight hours
I take from the world what I was never given
Disguise the child as someone who is driven

He probably lives at home with his mummy and dad
Writes poems about relationships he never really had
Logs on to that site it's all he has in his life
Lifts himself up by causing cyber strife
Tragic and pathetic, a waste of good air
Sadly adult bullies are everywhere
Best not to bite back when these rabid dogs bark
They will create an inferno from the smallest spark
Claims his arrogance is honesty but we know what is true
Despite all your rage the real loser is still you
Maybe one day he'll get a life and leave others alone
Real talent never sits on a self made throne
He probably lives at home with his mummy and dad
Writes poems about relationships he never really had
Logs on to that site it's all he has in his life

Tragic and pathetic, a waste of good air

Best not to bite back when these rabid dogs bark
They will create an inferno from the smallest spark
Claims his arrogance is honesty but we know what is true
Despite all your rage the real loser is still you
Maybe one day he'll get a life and leave others alone

Cyberbully: A Victim of a Bullly
At school he is a walking dictionary
who likes scrabble and monopoly;
He is the laughing stock of everyone -
a victim of bullies having fun.
What no one really knows
he is the dreaded cyberbully;
With his mastery of words,
and Photoshop expertise -
he rules the cyberworld!
Oh my golly, what a cyberbully -
a victim of a school bully!
Each one getting their own
dose of medicine...
I guess it's just a passing fad
for every growing lad.
