Bullying - With Experience

Greetings. This is one of those Threads which I have been meaning to start for a very very long time. Adults and "People with Children" are welcome to Post and/or "Vent", equally. Please feel free to write anything... and if you can, end it with some resolution/positve hindsight/result.

This is a bad Topic, which I am fed up of seeing sidelined or not fully discussed. "Being Bullied At School" is/was also actually a part of the "Diagnostic Criteria" for ASCs! Please share here experiences, and how you did or would have dealt with them. The more shared, I honestly believe, the more is learnt, if this is is discussed openly and without reservation, Thank You.

I shall begin with only a few things. Advice for dealing with Bullies includes "Ignoring them" and "Laughing them away". This advice does not work, as they either give chase, or they think that Bullying is being *enjoyed* by ALL concerned! 

Thanks for any replies in advance.

  • I was badly bullied by another employee in  one job. I couldn't deal with her at all and after she verbally attacked me in front of other people one afternoon I finished the shift and never went back. I didn't even realise I was being bullied - i happened to read an article about bullying a few weeks later and realised what had been happening. She was so clever at it, I just thought, because of her constant criticism etc, .that I  was useless at my job. I'm afraid I don't have anything positive to end with except to say that I think I would recognize what was going on if it happened again and be more able to stand up for myself.
