Ok luckily i was never bullied but there was one guy i went to school with for a year that got bullied pretty badly. Now I would have loved to feel piity for him and help him but you just couldn't. It was like he was asking to be bullied. He was quite a tall guy (don't know how tall exactly but minimum 1.85m for sure) and very weird and nerdy. He was 17 years old but acted no older than a 5 year old would have and had absolutely no social knowledge. He would sit or stand extremely near to you, so that you would feel like your personal space was invaded. He would talk very loudly in moments where it was totally unnecessary. He would listen to your conversations and just say something extremely stupid just to be able to participate even tough you didn't want him to and if he couldn't listen he'd just ask what you were talking about. You could tell he was desperatly trying to make friends but his behaviour was just counterproductive. He told me on the second day we met that he had suicidal thoughts as a kindergardener... This is not really something you tell a stranger just totally out of the blue. Apparently i was too nice to him so he started following me around to the point that it got really annoying that me and my friend would try to actively get rid of him by telling him we'd meet at a place and go to a totally different one. The thing is we did this multiple times but he just wouldn't get the hint until my friend told why he didn't eat lunch with that other socially awkward guy and then he left and we finally had lunch without him. Don't get me wrong i tried to defend him at first by telling my friends not to be this mean to him but you just couldn't help him he was just the perfect victim and on top of that he acted like asked for it so it went from the point where i didn't bother defending him anymore to the point i actually joined the bullying (this took almost the whole year i went to school with him). This guy had no self-esteem at all. How would he? He was probably bullied his whole life. He couldn't even stand in front of the class and do a presentation without having to restart every sentence and almost starting to cry. We all laughed at him for that and tried to film him unnotices whenever he had a presentation. Even our french teacher, that actually is a very nice lady, couldn't help but laugh at his presentation, mainly because of his pronounciation which was quite bad. He had a overly strict mom and his dad didn't have the couage to speak up to her. He was freaking 17 years old but his mother still commanded him around like he was 5. She'd prohibit him to play computer games because of reasons like he hadn't emptied the dishwasher and worst of all: He would tell everyone about it exposing even more thing for everybody to pick on him. To be honest I don't feel bad about what i did. I actually tried to be nice to that guy but he could just destroy everything and make you hate him again. I tried. I tried to be nice but i couldn't so I eventually joined because he was annoying.
