Bullying???
Ok, there is this kid at my school. He is the ordinary "geek" and "nerd." Almost everyone (except like 1 kid) doesn't pick on him.
But i kinda feel bad because he invited me to his birthday party last year and now i'm making fun of him...am i a bad person?
Oh, and he comes up with the LAMEST comebacks..heres one of my favorites from him "Go jump in a pit of boiling snakes!"
So yeah, he is probably the most picked on kid in my grade, but am i a bad person for picking on him?
Oh and i've heard stories of kids who were getting picked on and finally snapped and came into school with guns and shot people.
This kid fits the bill...his dad knows about guns and he has a friend who is wicked good with technology
A big part of this is peer pressure...its like a huge part because if i stick up for him, i would get bullied =(

Look I know what others might or think if you stick up for him but how would you feel if you were in his position? Put yourself in his shoes, Im sure he'd be really happy to know he's got atleast a couple people who dont laugh at him..and you would be too if you were him.
If you don't want to directly stand up for him, then don't do anything..why are you making fun of him? Just ignore everyone and dont say anything to him..
I think you should give him a makeover..lol..I bet a lot of geeky people turned into hott awesome peeps,. Lol that "go jump in a pit of boiling snakes" is something nobody would def. go "ooh" over.. Why dont you send him some websites, tell him some tv shows to watch like maybe yo momma lol..might help his comeback thing; name a couple stores to get his clothes at or just some kind of style of jeans and not plaidy and ties. Hair, music,..etc.
Give the guy some help and save him! Transform him..to a person that everyone will like..and if you really dont want to talk to him because your afraid your made fun of..hide a paper or list of things he should do/change and make it anonymous..throw it at his locker or bagpack or folder or something, it will really help him. =]

You are asking if picking on someone who is different than you makes you a bad person? If you have to ask then there is your answer!! Just quit picking on him and you will feel better about yourself and then you won't get shot when he freaks out or if he doesn't he will probably be the head of some company that you want to work for and you will get the job because you didn't pick on him. Middle school and high school isn't all there is in life. If you make it into the real world after you graduate you will see that picking on somebody like that is not something that people do.

Well the good news is you are not a bad person. THe bad or maybe sad news is that you are not willing to accept other people's differences. Not eveyone is like or near to being like you, but those people do exist and i think that if you truly felt bad for him you would do oneof two things: 1) you would personally stop picking on him and/or 2) say something when others are doing it. More than likely if you are like most people your prode will override and you will do nothing. So in all actuality you really don't feel bad. But that is human it is up to you to become more than a mold.
Source(s): i used to get bullied in school myself and now things are quiet different. I am a sexy mother of two, i have all types of friends. Jocks geeks, you name it and we all hang out. Yeah some turn to violence but some turn to maiking the best out of it. What you need to do if you are worried that he will show up and blow your damn school up then u quit and apologize to him and mean it so that if he does blow school up then you will be alright - StraightforwardLv 41 decade ago
You're wrong for bullying him. He probably feels hurt more from your insults, since he already knew you. You should back off and be nice to him. If he snaps you'll know why.
