34, I accidentally thumbed you down :( forgive me!

I ain't one to hold a grudge. :)

well on the bright side, you could sue the school for harassment

To 34- Of course OP can think for himself. Have you never been to highschool before? If the kids there are mean enough to make this suggestion and then the teachers dumb enough to actually go through with it of course the kid will get picked on for not helping out charity if he says no, of course it's not going to be picked on by everyone but he's defs going to cop it from the kids who suggested it in the first place and also from some others, it was a lose lose situation for OP. Yes he could have stood up for himself because he did not have to put the bag on his head and yeah your suggestion of telling everyone to **** themselves and just leave isn't actually a bad one because hell those assholes deserved it. But if OP has been picked on a lot it is very hard for someone like that to say no especially when he sees that the teachers are all for it too and hell he could have been told if he didn't all the money pledge would have to be returned I'm not saying that is what happened I'm just saying it's possible. Also what do you mean bully nonsense? are you saying bullies don't exist? are you saying it's the victims fault for being bullied? what exactly do you mean by that? because I tell you it's not nonsense.

sue the school and get that 500 for yourself, that is disgusting

42, I'm gonna come out and say it right now. You sound like an outright pansy ass who was picked on all through high school or wasn't very popular. And NEVER stood up for himself. Of course bullies exist. What I'm saying is that stupid bullying like this IS NOT a big deal. It toughens people up for the real world. Had they beat him up and taped a bag on his head I would be flying out to this kids town to murder the people who did it. Do you know why? Because I'm not a ******* pussy and can actually stand up for myself. This kid had a choice. He chose to be the bitch and now suffers the consequences. The world is mean. Get over it.

I have been to high school. I went from the little faggy bitch freshman year to the most popular kid in school by being nice to everyone, but putting my goddam foot down when needed.

I'm sorry for saying the "f" word, it slipped out and I didn't mean it as an insult towards homosexuals. I was explaining who I was freshman year and its a common slang term.

No one deserves to be picked on. But if you refuse to stand up for yourself from time to time again it's hard to make that case.

America sounds like the arsehole of the world, with the people inhabiting it being the shit... Some of the posts on here, unbelievable how shallow and petty you are! Way to go to teach kids against bullying
