I was bullied in elementary school and junior high and high school.
I think things have changed though as there is more awareness now and people are more willing to talk about the fact that bullying happens and the consequences of it, how people feel because of it.
I never said anything to anyone about what was going on.

If I think back there were few times that could be labeled bullying by todays standards but I think you cannot prevent it 100% anyway. There is always going to be a bad apple somewhere in there.
I was quite oblivious to bullying to be honest, I lived very much in my own head and just didn't understand some of the barbed comments aimed at me at the time. I think I was just lucky like that. I ignored stupid people and had this ironclad view that you had to protect the weak, so I always tried to intervene when someone was bullying anyone I perceived as a victim.

- Latest Review: Not Fishy Enough by Briton Kolber
So most days students hung with their friends and kept to themselves (except of course when we had some kind of school event then it was just one large group). I don't recall having witnessed any form of bullying myself but I was kind of anti-social and didn't talk with many outside of my friend group so I can't be sure about that.
Seeing the comments here it seems everyone has either witnessed or faced bulling some form or another.

- Latest Review: McDowell by William H. Coles
While I haven't experienced much bullying at all, I have attended a couple of different schools, and the bullying problem is definitely a lot more prevalent in some than in others. In my first elementary, the teachers did not particularly care how we interacted with each other, and there were kids that would try to injure me (nothing serious) for arbitrary reasons, if they had reason at all. The later elementary schools I went to, on the other hand, took these things very seriously. Some people bully based on looks, some on grades, some on hobbies, etc. It all depends on the specific environment and the people in those environments. Once the tone of a school or social group is set, it's pretty hard to change.
