<p>Just a thought. Will it help you in the real world?</p>
<p>Why the heck would you think that?</p>
<p>Being bullied will not help you in the real world, and no, it does not build character.</p>
<p>I don’t know what your experience has been, but I was bullied plenty of times, and all it taught me was that my peers had no respect or regard for me.</p>
<p>Yes, it builds character just like every other thing that happens to you in your life does.</p>
<p>It depends on how you react to it, which will often depend on the individual and the nature/context of the bullying. In general though, I think bullying teaches very negative lessons about human character, which could help in some areas of life but are on the whole quite damaging.</p>
<p>^^ agree. it can destroy you or make you stronger. but you should consider that the victims sometimes turn into the bullies.
bullying is bad. period.</p>
<p>Sure. Like someone else said, every event in your life shapes your characters. But that doesn’t excuse it and it definitely doesn’t make it right.</p>
<p>Bullying builds character. You just have to find a good victim and your self esteem will shoot through the roof!</p>
<p>Do I believe that bullying builds character? No, but I a firm believer that bullying is most definitely a double edged sword. The bully thinks that putting someone else down will make them feel better but in actuality it is detrimental to them as well. And of course the poor victim is usually scarred.</p>
<p>No, but shoveling the walk builds character.</p>
<p>Anyways, it doesn’t take a psyc 101 class to figure out that bullying especially children almost always has lasting negative effects</p>
<p>bullying… sure it changes character but I wouldn’t say building in the positive sense of “building”
would say more of twisting character</p>
<p>bullying doesn’t build character, it reveals it.</p>
<p>no wait that’s basketball.</p>
<p>basketball doesn’t build character, it reveals it.</p>
<p>No, bullying doesn’t build character, whoever told you that is an abusive prick. If it was an adult, ignore them and flip them off. If it was your parent, flip them off and disown them.</p>
<p>Bullying itself doesn’t build character. Standing up to a bully builds character. Don’t take that ****.</p>
<p>Bullying doesn’t lead to more character, it leads to more bullying.</p>
<p>Bullying never ends. It seems once a bully always a bully. Victims as hard as they try seem to be magnets to bullies. I do think one becomes better able to cope with the abuse. The audience or witnesses do nothing sometimes joining in, in an explicit way. Doing nothing is an act in itself.
What truely amazes me is the pure joy that a bully has while turning up the tourture.</p>
<p>Bullying definitely builds character. I know, I’ve bullied many innocent children, and they have all blossomed into withdrawn husks.</p>
<p>Bullying destroys far more than it builds. Take it from an expert on what bullying can do to a person.</p>
<p>mathsciencedude your post made me laugh. I know your not serious and quite possibly you have dealt with it as themathsciencedude in school. It would be nice for the bullied to come through life with humor and financial independence but that is only the case for a small percentage.
This topic and any action to curtail this human trait is avoided. That is why it persists and the victims are shamed from asking for help.</p>
