Inspired by Rita Z. - Who was the bully in your neighborhood growing up?

[grinningghost]

Our big bully was a very BIG girl (both tall and wide) named Dawn. She would just look at you wrong and you wanted to disappear.

She had us so scared, we wouldn't even want to ride our bikes past her house. And IF we DID, we would laugh and act all cool like we were SO brave to have done it.

I really wonder what Dawn the Bully is doing these days? Probably scaring off the bullies that terrorize HER kids.

Who was your neighborhood bully?

Stephanie!!! She beat me up as often as she could. I got fed up and sprayed raid in her face- no lectrues please my mom spoke to me for like three hours about how she could have gone blind, I know. I was 8 at the time. She forced me to smoke cigarettes because then I wouldn't be able to tell on her and my sister. We did have fun stealing money from her brother to go out to eat! He had a paper route and left money sitting out everywhere!



We had a love hate relationship- we loved to hate each other!

A kid named Kevin, he was in our 1st grade class but was held back so in a grade behind.

I happened to be reading our local paper and saw his obituary. Kind of sad, he'd never had a family, still lived in the same town we grew up in and died young

His name was Tim and he was the son of a very prominant politician in our area, which gave him this incredible entitlement attitude.

I got into a fist fight with him, when we were in 8th grade, and gave him a bloody nose. I had finally had enough of him picking on younger kids.

ME!!!! hahahah im just kidding. i can't really remember anyone who was really a bully in our neighborhood. if the kids were mean i stayed away from them or wasn't allowed to play with them. i had my friends from school that always came over to play.

Probably me.. No, just kidding.

There weren't that many kids in our neighborhood...we lived in a rural area and we lived next door to my grandmother on one side, my aunt on the other and across the street from another relative.

So I would have to go with my cousin Christy. She was the oldest and thought she was hot stuff because her mom was permissive and let her have a Madonna and a Prince tape in the 5th grade and wear tube tops. This was 1984, I believe. Hahahaha...

There was a mean boy on my block named Greg. He never really bothered me directly but he was my age and he was just mean and nasty. He would beat boys up. Turns out he's not very smart, still lives in that town and I've only seen his name in the paper in connection with a billiards tournament at a bar.
His brother was 2 years older and also nasty. Once a stray cat had kittens in our garage loft--my friend and I would check on them every morning--one morning they were all dead. We were really upset and my dad buried them. My mom told me years later that Greg's older brother had hung the mother cat in the alley. He ended up in jail (not for that)--they say kids who are cruel to animals will end up cruel to people .

I grew up on a highway, so I didnt get to play with anyone from a neighborhood, (oh I was so enveious of anyone who lived in a "real" neighborhood), I do remember the two bullys at school, the girl was betty, she picked on me on the bus, after I punched her once she stopped, my mom made me promise never to hit back, but I just couldnt help myself, I reached the boiling point of her actions and she got some of mine, then the boy was Tony. Tony was so nice, after I was in bed and had like 3 operations, he started a rumor around the school, that I had a child, well I confronted Tony in the hallway one day and I said, guess what I am going to show you my nice big scar, it runs from my neck and stops at my butt. You have to do 2 things, promise to stop spreading rumors about me that are not true and when you see the huge scar you cannot throw up in the middle of the hall or I will tell everyone. Well he just walked away and that was the end of him. There was a really bad bully at school who even threw a desk at the teacher. He had real anger problems. His life ended when he killed himself and the girl who broke off wedding plans with him and he killed her too.

His name was Jermain....he would throw rocks from his upstairs bedroom deck at all the kids that walked by. I got nailed once right in the jaw!

A dog named lady. She had me cornered for 40 minutes in a tree once while my mom busy. My brother and his friend got chased and climbed on top of our car to escape her. Mom had to take our dog around to a different door and use her as bait so the boys could get down and run in the house. We were always terrified walking home from school that she would be out.

This was before leash laws. I guess the real bullies were her owners. They denied the problems until she bit several kids and they were told by the police she had to be chained. Then they chained her in the front yard and it was still scary to walk by!
