Guys.. Bully is really familiar with us. couple weeks ago I watch a Bully project on youtube. the video captured all the bullies that given or accepted by someone. It is an issue around many schools, sometimes I just really wonder what a school does in overcome this problem, but i also want to know about your own opinion. what you're gonna do if you are someone who got bullied by your friend, will you forgive them who being so meant to you ? as Jesus prays to forgive those who sin againts us.

please speak your mind.
 
Well, I have never been bullied as far as by another person of my own age, but I have been sexually abused. It has taken a year or so, but God helped me to forgive him. What he did was wrong, but we are all human and we all sin. It wasn't him that did something wrong, it was Satan.Satan stepped into our church and into our youth program since he was a youth pastor. It has been very hard, but I am healing more and more everyday. I thank God so much. I started out as unforgiving, but God has used it to be a great testimony for me to use to help grow the kingdom.
 
I am so sorry to hear that. But you must have a big heart in dealing with this. I am proud of you dear. God will heal.
 
Jesus teaches us to turn the other cheek, but I have seen people do the exact opposite. It is sad to see someone take an eye for an eye. Personally I am forgiving of anyone for anything. Yes, i may still be upset, but i never hold a grudge. I try to be as Christ-like as I possibly can, whether that be to stop those who do bully or help the bullied forgive.
 
you are right, many people can forgive other because they think the pain remains forever. But to forgive is a cure to ourselves actually. to release all the burden and be good model for others just like Jesus when He died for our sins. Please encourage all the people you know who've been hurt by others, dear. But forgive doesn't mean we let the bullies happen but we must do the action to stop it..

Proud of you dear.
 
God has used this storm in my life to create many great things. He has led me to help other young women and I am so excited to see what my fututre holds :)
 
Bullies intimidate, scare, bring fear, and are not what God wants in us, and in our characters.

I was bullied as a child, by schoomates, and as a young adult by many boys who thought the Lord seems to feel, that I am a grown woman, and need to be having sex with them and fulfilling their desires, and that is my one and only job in life.

I am sorry, the Lord gave me, and all females, authority over their own bodies, and if we have respect for ourselves, and do not get forced or victimized by a man's bullying, then we are better for it.

One mean boy, pushed me and left scars on my back for years.

Does God ever see who is good and bad, hardly.

People are so judgemental, and their thoughts, and opinions, and a whole bunch of other stuff ruines perfectly good lives.

Condemnation or correction, or reaping and sowing should never come through a stranger, who is not permitted by God to do this, but it happens, and it is all wrong, and I have trauma that will never be healed. I have tried to heal it with reading scripture, doctors, church, prayer, and in 5-8 years it has not healed. So, now I trust, that life will move on. But do I get accepted in a world and community where everyone is strong and able bodied, and monetarily wealthily , and even doctors can't fix all medical probelms, NO. I feel the least someone could do is realize, she can't benefit me, and can't fulfill my needs, so why not leave her alone, I am only making life worse for her.

That would be the normal, healthy, way to respect another human life, but I live in a evil town.

People are crazy, insane, and then try to make others that way.

Similar to paralyzed humans, disabled, elderly, but when you are young and not up to others par, they want to throw you away, ignore you, put in a hospital for no allowable reason and make you suffer, as if they were able to inflict that pain, and not be held accountable to a God, because they do not know God, have no conscience, and want others to live that way.

We all usually gravitate toward that which is compatible and similar to our lifestyle and goals. But what happens when you have had a severe accident, and life will never be the same? or born unable to run, or highly recommeded not to, for bone health and a hip problem, it doesn not make sense.

Hardly anyone has compassion, and the world is SCREWED UP, way more that most of us know, or have ever wanted to know.
 
I was bullied once. He did it in class. First time for me. And I sat there and was quite while he did it. I did not fight back. But shortly after I wrote a nice note to my teacher telling him what happened, and that if he doesn't do anything I would contact the office.

Well, at the very end of the day, the guy comes up to me and apologizes like he is nervous. I found out that someone I knew had dealt with him. I don't even know how it got out that fast. Turns out the principals don't deal with the issue. Thy try to make it seem like it is my fault. Like, ''maybe they were just playing.'' And they just had it in the news about how the schools were cracking down on bullying. NOT!

Shortly after, a little boy was bullied by a big kid, and he took a baseball bat and killed him with it. Then they go do the bully campaign again.

As an adult, I still do the same thing!! lol. I don't fight my own battles, I let the Lord do it, AS HE IS THE HIGHEST PRINCIPAL!! Sometimes I might just complain, but I will never ask God to do harm to anyone, that is evil. But I can tell you some stories about how he has fought on my behalf, without me even knowing it.

May Jesus bless you.
