The nasty boys on the bus were both called Josh. Though my brother and some of my closest friends were also called Josh. So just a popular name at the time!

Well it's not 'absolute rubbish' that I can't think of any boy bullies at school, and happily my DS never encountered any at school either. And I still maintain that girls have more complex relationships than boys... And obviously boys are capable of bullying, I just have only personally encountered girl bullies.

However, I suspect that modern tech means that bullying is generally quite different to what it was when I was at school because it no longer needs to be done face to face.

We absolutely had boy bullies… they bullied one other boy so incredibly badly that people would probably call me OTT if I were to describe it on this thread.

BUT they usually stuck to bullying other boys. Some of this poor boy’s tormentors made it clear that they didn’t like me. But the worst were a few mean remarks, laughter etc.

were they nice to me? Nope, not at all. And I disliked them, they made me feel on edge etc.
But it seemed more of a “taking the opportunity if something arises” / cheap shots but not necessarily a clear bullying campaign, if that makes sense.

I did just remember that one boy bullied me for a few days in primary. I probably didn’t give him the reaction he was hoping for and he moved on. It was fairly mild all things considered.

(I must say that I was never the victim of a real bullying campaign by a classmate, except for maybe in kindergarten…)

Karen, Christine, Julie, Val, Stephanie.And Dawn, but she’s dead.
Secondary school… picked on me cos my Mum died and called me “Little orphan Annie”

I have murdered each one many many times over the years.
I couldn’t fathom their evilness.
They we’re 2 years older than me.

Never Forget.

Alex and Gabi
Spent a long time flying under their radar.
They were the ringleaders of a notorious little group and one day they turned on one of their own - vicious.

Wasn’t bullied.

So quite the pointless reply then.

Coffeeisnotmycupoftea · 04/05/2026 16:40

Sharon. She was supposed to be my best friend but treated me like shit and completely turned on me.

My mum is 83 and up until a few years ago (she now has advanced dementia) she would still talk about the two girls who bullied her when she was a young teen.

You never forget no matter who many years pass by.

Hilary at grammar school, the queen bee with her little coterie of drones (dronesses?). So poisonously sweet and wholesome, and thoroughly toxic.

Marie and Tracey

Is anyone else trying to guess the ages of posters from the names?!

Actually, thinking about it there were loads of girls at school who were dreadful bullies - but I can't think of a single boy. Why is it that boys have much simpler relationships with each other? Girls seem to have more complex relationships are meaner to one another which is just sad😔

God the boys were the worst I’ve realised I didn’t mention boys names on my first post though. Jonathon and Archie and Joseph were the worst

I've just remembered two more that tried to bully me Marianne & Kerry but I stood up to them & left them crying

Staceyeatscarrots · 04/05/2026 16:23

I was a bully but I didn’t realise til recently. I was bullied by my mother and my siblings and Karma got me with a life of mental illness.

Charlotte. Horrible girl. So unkind and so spoilt.

Debra and Catherine

NoisyBuilder · 04/05/2026 16:10

Rebecca.

She's still awful & just plain mean - spiteful as ever with her equally horrible mum & sister sniggering along like snuffling pigs.

When people leave shitty little, mean-spirited, unhelpful responses on threads here where people are asking for help, I automatically assume it's her.

Flourshiba · 04/05/2026 16:05

Vicky. She was eventually expelled but not before making life hell for lots of people including me

I can’t say I was bullied really just a few nasty comments from a Fiona which I managed to close down pretty quickly. Her ds and my ds both now 24, have been really good friends since senior school. The nasty comments have never been mentioned, lol

MrsLFii · 04/05/2026 15:59

I was never bullied, but Sammi-Jo (violent aggressive cow who’d punch people for looking at her ‘wrong’… or breathing near her) and Chelsea (absolute bitch who had snide little comments to make about everyone all the time, the type to really chip away at someone until they can’t cope), and Bradley (again, violent aggressive bellend), were the worst in my year at secondary. Primary was a tiny village school where everyone was lovely 😅

Absolute rubbish. Boys get horrendously bullied by other boys too.

Well it's not 'absolute rubbish' that I can't think of any boy bullies at school, and happily my DS never encountered any at school either. And I still maintain that girls have more complex relationships than boys... And obviously boys are capable of bullying, I just have only personally encountered girl bullies.
