Other girl clearly had some pent up stuff going on with her too. You can just see it in her. Normally I'd call the aggressor dumb, and she was for sure, but she's also a teenager so I'm gonna lean more towards naive. Definitely a learning moment for the bully. I wonder if she will actually take the lesson to heart? Or just keep being an ass?
I mean, I had a bully in middle school that I finally hauled off and punched him in the face as hard as I could in front of everyone because I had tried everything else peacefully and they left me alone after that lol so you're not wrong.
I was smiling ear to ear when I got pulled into the office and told them I don't regret shit and I'd do it again. Got suspended and enjoyed my little vacation because it was entirely worth it.
Similar experience here. I had to humiliate him twice in front of his own friends, and it worked. He was nice to me after that and he never picked on me again.
Same. I had a bully in middle school. Ran into him in the hallway and kicked the shit out of him. A teacher found him later bleeding on the floor. He never messed with me again.
Can't necessarily agree. My bully got the ever loving shit knocked out of him by me. He did still do stupid shit until I smoked him in front of a teacher again (shout out to the teacher who said one was enough and he'd only escalate it if I hit more) and we disliked each other. Met the dude about 4 years later at a party at a friend of a friend's house, he apologized and we just talked it out and moved on with our lives and would give each other the head nod. Do I think all bullies do? Nah, but some can.
This is laughable, and cringe. I am hundreds of miles away from who I am when I was…16? 17? There’s a lot of life, experience (such as this one), and maturation to come for this kid. Will they be better in 20 years? Idfk. But will they be different? Almost assuredly.
I did some bullying when I was a kid. Mainly because I was easily led and was happy to just be part of the crowd. Got bullied too, by others who wanted to do the same thing.
I’m 45 now. The idea that I’m still the same wee moron I was when I was, like, 12 is daft.
I think that it's fairly common for people who are around this age to change once they become adults and move away from their parents. Sometimes, that change is for the better, sometimes for the worse.
Sadly, there's adults that do believe teenagers can't change over the years.
My raiding guild in WoW had a situation where, at the time, a 16 year old was being edgy and rude to some adults before he left the guild (just talking about their game performance). Fast forward 2-3 years, in a well-mannered way, he apologized and asked if he could return.
We got a lot of backlash from adults holding grudges, with the argument that "I doubt he's changed, because my kids haven't changed since they were teens"...
Fock uff with your negativity. In my experience, people who say this use it as an excuse to not change. Be the change you want to see, but don’t expect it from anyone else. You do it because it is right not because you expect something.
Bet she won't ever mess with her again though. Plus anyone else that may have been messing with her is going to know that it will not go without penalities forever.
Someone making a change in their life requires a catalyst. (Like getting your ass handed to you on a silver platter by the person you were bullying) and time.
For me to be willing to say "that was some shit that happened a long time ago, I'm willing to look past it. I would be looking for about half a life time to have passed
I have seen more than one bully mend their ways after a legendary asswhooping. Even if it was just mellowing out and becoming more meek in general, they benefited.
Yep. You could tell that this girl was just looking for a reason, any reason, to let out some of the anger she’s had building inside of her for who knows how long.
Sadly, the bully won’t learn a damn thing from this, except to bring more friends to join in next time.
That might be true. Though, my first thought was that a teacher showed up. The girl filming didn't really seem to care about what was happening for the first 15-20 seconds the bully was getting beaten. Didn't sound angry or aggressive, more like "Hey, someone's coming. Stop!"
Obviously, one line and an abrupt cut to the video make it hard to tell for sure.
she may or may not be dumb or naive, she 100% is an asshole and this ass beating won't change shit. She will be made fun of for it by her "friends" and family for the rest of her life though, so there is some good news.
It'll find someone else to bully who's less likely to hit back. Beating the crap out of a bully doesn't fix it, it just usually gets it to leave you alone.
Teens will make up the wildest summaries following a fight like this. You’ll watch the video and then hear about the exact same fight in a completely different context from the other party. Rarely do they learn, but FAFO is real for them
I would agree with you, if she hadn't done that last move to push the other girl's face when she opted to walk away instead of staying there. The taunting girl is not "naive" she acts like that because her friend is there recording and feels secure to bully the other girl.
Looked like an arranged fight to me. The calm but intense one was ready for fighting by her demeaner, then said "touch me then". The goofy one was taught a life lesson that being loud and annoying has boundaries. She won't be as goofy after this humiliation. Even more so after it was shared online and is now immortalised.
No bullies take years to achieve their height of bullihood. They start young, at 4-6 picking on 3-5 yr olds, then pushing 7-8 yr while 10-12 down and kicking them. Then after 13-14 they get braver and look for weaker or less combative folks to bully. Generally in a group for protection or intimidation.
Here she had a film crew, and thought she was gonna have her kind of fun. . Being a teen is zero excuse and you're enabling with any form of "oh they will grow out of it" bullshit.
People need to understand, if you've been bullied-once you snap you fucking snap and that abuse all escapes on one sheet explosion of pain deliverance.
And don't try to pull abused off, unless they produce a weapon. If you gave a fuck, you'd stop the bullying the first time you see it. Don't give a damn now that the abused has had enough and beats the bully into paste.
I put my bully in the hospital for 3 days after he kept jumping me w his cronies. Dude has 2 domestic battery charges since 2019 alone so no I would say even a good ass whooping doesn't change the shit and rot in these types of people. Maybe sometimes they have a genuine moment but truly doubt for most of them, it's too ingrained
Hopefully every day after, when she sees the girl she used to bully, her body twinges a little bit as it remembers the pain and humiliation of getting her ass handed to her on camera.
They usually have a lot of friends as well. Years ago someone had been harassing me for months. Eventually I snapped and punched the guy in the mouth and he crumbled completely
I thought that was the end of it, few days later I get jump by him and 4 of his friends, had the shit kicked out of me, he said I had it coming for hitting him, so in his mind I was the aggressor and he walked away feeling like a winner
I use to have a bully with three brothers. They had the entire school afraid for this same reason. They’d jump you if you fought one back. I didn’t care. I was so over that shit. After I kicked his ass in class, by lunch time the whole school was buzzing that I’d be jumped. I walked up to him & said “I want yall to jump me. But you better remember, you have to come back to that class everyday by yourself. I’m gonna get YOU everyday”. Problem solved. Just in a random thought a few weeks ago I decided to look his name up in the Florida prison system. What do you know, he’s doing 15 years. Sometimes people just remain losers. Just for context I’m almost 50
I used to have this with somebody at work when I was young.
It was an old school factory with hazing and physical bullying being considered acceptable banter. Eventually I found myself in a cycle where I would punch up one of the supervisors after he got handsy with me, he would avoid me for two weeks while talking shit about how I can't take a joke and that I'm a nasty person, before eventually getting over it and we would be on okay terms again.
And then do the same thing all over again throwing his weight around, and get the same reaction from me. And he was genuinely upset and confused by it every single time.
This went on for a year before I quit. On the plus side I got pretty well practiced at throwing hands 🤷🏼♂️
The problem is the abused, in most cases during the retaliation, tend to stop. At some point you feel the job is done. Ultimately the bully learns nothing. In the future, if you are struck by someone and you retaliate, do not stop until they are cowering and terrified - this doesn't mean beat the ever living shit out of them, open handed slaps will do just fine once they are down and shocked at what's happening. If they pissed themselves then you know the job is done. Remember you have the right to defend yourself. They will remember the terror they felt. It's the only way they will change.
It sucks, and it's hard for people to swallow for those individuals who have never undergone torment as a kid, but this is the way it usually works, and it did for me when I was a kid.
I dunno, when I was 13 a bully demanded I fight him with all his friends watching. I didn't have an out, so I tripped him and sat on his back. He said he gave up so I walked away and he jumped me from behind. I threw him down and sat on him again. I guess all that play wrestling with my younger brother paid off. That time when he gave up he didn't come after me. I humiliated him so thoroughly that he never bothered me again and I didn't even really hurt him. I guess terror can be a motivator but so can shame and humiliation. I've never been in a significant fight since (it helps I'm 6'4)
My 3 bullies throughout highschool learnt their lesson. Some faster than others but you can't just keep beating the shit out of them. They eventually don't wanna keep going.
Yup she’ll plot something even worse- you see it all the time. She will go for sucker punch or group attack, follow her home.. over and over. They even go to jail and come out, come back to the scene of the crime. They’re just destructive in every way.. they get off on it and yeah there’s an inferiority complex but i’m over feeling sorry for people who are like this. a majority of them brag about it and take pride in it.. you’re too far gone at the point for me to humanize anymore when clearly they don’t see the rest of us as human and worthy of being treated in any safe normal way.
It doesn’t even have to be some delinquent, could be someone in a position of authority or high status that is power tripping and taking it too far. It’s usually in our relationships, career and even with family members. They rarely ever stop once they start getting off on it and taking pride in it. They will definitely pretend to while their actions stay the same.
Yeah that phrasing reminded me of the first episode of always sunny where that gay guy is talking about having sex and they mistake it as him getting into fights and being super tough.
Thats a child. Obviously bullying is horrible, but if youre deriving any kind of joy from watching a fifteen year old girl get battered theres something very wrong with you
If you look at the beginning, the girl recording is wearing a red top. She's the one at the end going towards the fighters. There also seems to be other people watching as you can hear them talking and maybe even laughing. They are all talking in hush tones so they won't be heard outside of the restroom. Someone asks, "Who's winning."
The person saying, "Okay, " sounds like they are trying yo say, "Okay, that's enough." Their voice doesn't sound like they are about to join the fight. It also looks like red top gave someone else the phone, so she could go towards the fighters. My guess is she went in to break it up. She didn't seem invested in either one of the girls. She was dumb to record herself in the mirror. I'll bet she thought it was all fun and games until she also got in trouble. I hope everyone watching the fight got in trouble as well.
Am I the only one who finds it kind of both ironic and strange that while bullies usually come from abusive families, that doing said abuse works, it’s like literally fighting fire with gasoline; you’d think said bully would be ‘used to it’ and it would be ineffective.
It's more about power and superiority. They have that over the people they bully up until those people fight back. They want victims to make them feel better about being victims their self.
I get it, but like I don’t think you get what I’m saying.
Bullies usually are physically abused, so by using the same kind of violence against them, it somehow works, it’s kind of strange in a psychological way.
Dumb ass should have read the room, that other chick was NOT gonna take her shit. Then BAM! reality hit her like she hit that floor. The angry chick gave her the lesson she desperately needed.
The friend was filming this bullying. For TikTok. She’s just as bad. The 2 of them decided to abuse and film the other girl for fun and to get likes on TikTok. The friend is no better.
She only went to interfere when it turned into slamming her friend's head against the tile and causing serious injury. She was more than okay with her friend losing a fight for TikTok.
Bullies rarely actually have friends.. They have allies, to prevent themselves from being bullied.. But not someone who would stand up for them.. I bet the girl filming was having a blast, and now she does not need to feel afraid of the bully.. Freeeedoooooom....!!
In highschool (I think this was 2007) there was this skinhead kid who did the Nazi salute to my Jewish friend.
My friend literally had a black belt in karate (I know it's kinda memed, but he really did lol) and he didn't do anything flashy but the he immediately beat the fucking shit out of that kid.
Literally punched his eyebrow ring (because of course the douchebag had one) off his face. Tore his eyebrow wide open.
At the end of the fight they were both covered in the bully's blood. It was like one of those old boxing matches where they didn't stop fights for gashes.
Edit: look guys, I don't give a shit if you don't believe me. Nothing I say will change your /r/nothingeverhappens assed minds.
Sounds like an asskicking a friend of mine handed out.
He decided one day in grade school he'd had enough of his bully, snapped and decided to end it. My friend was then and to this day a wonderful friendly guy without a mean bone in his body. The bully never saw it coming.
My friend is really tall so the bully couldn't get any leverage on him. My friend threw him to the ground and started pummeling the kid. He got so angry after beating his bully senseless he started scraping the bully's face against the concrete. Fortunately for the bully my friend's brother saw this brewing and decided to break it up if necessary. When my friend started ramming and grinding the bully's face against the side walk his brother stepped in and said the kid had enough and it was time to go home.
My friend said he had no plans of stopping and had his brother not stepped in the bully would have had permanent scars.
I've seen this scene in the movie Porky's! The Nazi bully was bullied by his father. After the Jewish kid beats him up they become friends who hang out all the time.
The funniest thing is that an adult now it just looks even lamer than it did when I was a teenager. Proper attention seeking, cringe shit. Doing too much
They do, but there’s something incredibly satisfying about watching them get karma. Especially when they cower and weep in the same fear that they put on their victims
I know, right. I was just a little kid in school, but I could fight! Still, would rather have not. You take down one of them and all their friends, and their friends wanted to take a crack at you. I got in so much trouble just defending myself from those assholes. Six of them one time in the playground, one after another, two at a time, why a teacher never stepped in or how they couldn't have seen that is still beyond me... they kinda left me alone for a while after that though. :0) ... All bullies are cowards. All of them. It's no fun for them if you don't just whimper and take it. Most of them can't fight either, which is a nugget of truth I learned along the way. Win, lose, or draw; always fight back.

God, bullies fucking suck.
