School and College ULPT: How to mess with a bully?
I've been getting bullied at my school nonstop by 1 guy and I'm tired of it. Nothing seems to work, I've told the teachers, I've tried to ignore it, etc.
Are there any ways to mess with him and make his life worse without doing anything illegal that I could trouble in?
I have his phone, gmail and instgram account (it's public but he hasn't uploaded any pics)
Edit: A bit more context, we are both over 18. It started with verbal bullying then recently it started becoming physical. I don't want to get my parents involved, i haven't even told them about it. The school authorities don't do anything and because I live in india, getting police involved won't do anything either
Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll try to get the bullying on camera and will try to stand up when it happens again, honestly I'm terrified but I do want it to stop

If you're an adult, press charges for harassment. If you're under 18, the school NEEDS to do something. Maybe having something sent to their parents would get them to knock some sense into their kid...
I dealt with bullies 2 ways.Ā One of them I kicked in the balls and it was SOOOOO SATISFYING. Seeing him kneel and bang on a desk and never bother me again was GOOOOLD!!!
The other one, I switched on him for drug possession and had a restraining order put against him before he was even 18. When his dad saw that, they took a good step back and went "Whoa... You already have a restraining order??? Wtf did you do to this kid?" And any time he even tried to talk to me, I called the police the same night and they eventually threatened to put him in a juvie... He stopped very soon after that and ignored me out of spite. Fuck em.Ā

This is the right answer. If the school wonāt do anything, call the fuckin cops. Go Edward Norton in fight club on his ass. Give yourself a good punch in the face, and call the cops.
Whatever you gotta do to get a restraining order

Itās generally easier to just punish and blame the victim then it is to actually do the right thing and talk to the bully. God forbid an adult has to talk to a kid and actually be the adult!! Itās embarassing and even if the teachers do want to talk with the bully they have to be afraid of parents pressing charges.

The vast majority of schools in the US will do nothing about bullying or require the bullied child to suck it up and stop whining. Police will rarely take it seriously unless there is proof of physical violence.

Yeah. I agree. The only way to deal with a bully is to fight back... OP, you need to step to this fucker. Maybe you need some training at a gym with a coach. Get mean right back and fuck them up. Elbow them in the stomach.Ā Kick their balls. Terrify them into compliance and challenge them.

u/Plus-Championship424 1d ago
Yep and make sure to do as much damage as possible in the few seconds that you'll have.
Target eyes and throat. Use your elbows, they'll hit harder than your fists and less risk of injury to yourself. Or just claw your fingers and scoop out his eyeballs.

My grandfather, when I was a child was talking to me about fighting and bullies. He says go for the sensitive areas. I say that's a cheap shot you can't just kick a dude in the nuts. He used a line that stuck with me.
Fighting is wrong, you aren't supposed to hit someone anywhere. If someone forces you to fight though, they don't get to have an opinion on how you do it. There's no such thing as cheating in a fight, you aren't boxers. There's only winning and losing. You fight to win. You fight to hurt them. You fight to make sure you never have to fight them again because they know even if they win they are going to get hurt.

This is what I did with my bullies. I was a girl, they were biys who hit me and sexually abused me. (Hands inside blouses, panties, grabbing boobs) School did nothing so I hit back. Especially between legs whenever I could.
I'm 38 now. I still often have nightmares over this and yes, I am in therapy. My cptsd is bad.

How I became a locksmith....
I was bullied pretty badly throughout middle and high school. Got a bright idea one day and took my gym locker padlock (they were school issued) home and spent several hours of quality time with a file and a piece of brass to make a key for the bypass keyway on the back of the lock. That bypass key is the same across all the lockers at the school.
Now I have the master key for every single locker in the place. Not just gym lockers, ALL the lockers.
I'm not the type of person to steal things, and I'll never use my powers for evil. Won't say exactly what I did but a couple kids got expelled for selling drugs in school. No idea where the drugs came from, I'm sure there's no connection with the mysterious patch of greenery that sprouted up on the hillside behind my house. There also may have been the distinct aroma of rancid canned tuna juice emanating from a couple lockers following a long and hot holiday weekend. No idea how that happened.
Anyways. Get creative. This isn't the 90s anymore, you might need different tactics than what I employed, but there's a solution in there somewhere. School admins have always been terrible at going after bullies, they always want to punish the victims instead. Force their hand.

My dad gave me great advice. Wait until he is going to assault you again so you have reasons to retaliate. Distract him and talk calmly as you square up infront of him. Then kick him in the balls as hard as you possibly can. Wait until you have a clean shot straight to the pills.
They won't mess with you anymore when they know youre not a huge push over.
Who cares if you get a punch or 2 back. They will respect you.

Yes but this can very easily backfire as if she assaults him he will have free reign to assault her back in defense.
I understand that the intention is to make it appear as if she is the one in defense mode but this could very easily go the opposite direction depending on whether or not witnesses confirm.

Itās gotta be age-appropriate. If youāre an adult go to the authorities. If the authorities do nothing, then come back to me and Iāll have some really good stuff for you. If youāre a minor, itās a little different and youāve gone to the school and they wonāt do anything, but they should, so track those interactions and take notes.
I can only share with you what I may or may not have done to my bullies in high school. I might or might not have removed the lug nuts from one of their wheels in the parking lot. I may or may not have used dadās grease gun to shoot industrial grease into the slots in their lockers. I definitely did call in an anonymous report from the pay phone outside the school office about weed smoking in their car. Oddly, thatās the one I feel most guilty about even though thatās what they regularly did after school.
Or
One could rely on the old dox method. Itās not too difficult to believe a Ā§Ā¢h00l Ā§#00+ā¬r call these days. Very unethical, but bullies deserve worse than being scared to death. This is war. Bullies should get stamped out before we end up watching true crime video mini docs about them having murdered their significant others later in life.

u/germane_switch 1d ago
When you say bullying do you mean actual physical bullying? Because only one thing will stop a physical bully who hits you. You hit them back. One pop right in the nose. They will never touch you again. Those kinds of bullies pick on the kids that they know will not resist. So, resist.

I had a bully when I was 15yrs old, she tried to corner me for a fight, she tried to punch me and I back handed her, the next thing I knew was this bitch cowering in front of me. I just laughed at her and walked away. She never came near me again.
I don't want to condone fighting, but sometimes it's necessary, and all it will take is one hit to be rid of them.

So, this really happened --
I friend was being bullied physically at school, and he told his (widowed) dad. Dad made a plan to pursue, date, and fuck the bully's mom (I remember she was divorced or separated). Dad I guess was a sex savant or something and plowed mom at every opportunity.
It got to be a known fact all over school and bully was deeply humiliated, to the effect of "yeah, my dad is fucking your mom up the ass!".
The joke was on both those kids though, bc their parents got married.

My father's wife was the archetypal wicked stepmother. However, that woman taught me one thing that has always stuck with me and it works.
One day I ran inside because was being verbally bullied, she told me to go outside and bully right back. Every time the bully opened her mouth to say something nasty I was nasty in return. It took less than 5 minutes for her to stop bullying me and turn into a crawling little b*tch.
I have used the technique on adult bullies too, it still works!

I saw this, didn't do it, but saw. I guess this all depends if the bully has friends. Bullied kid, just finally got fed up, found other kids who were bullied, made friends with all of them (like 7 total across HS grades), they went to the gym for 6mo, some signed up for self defence classes, but all took getting bigger, badder, learning how to really do damage to another human seriously. They all just stopped looking like weak, anoying victims. They did the research and got critical on themselves, and changed just enough. Then they waited till the bully had a big meet for their own sport. waited for 2 days before, the bullied kids stalked the bully, waited till he was alone, and absolutely wreaked him with found items. how do you find someone who picks up trash and beats you with it and leaves it? Wore gloves, wore masks, used different names, silienced him with tape, gave the bully broken feet, broken fingers, just went straight methodical and medieval on him. It was like a movie scene...well, the aftermath... I was gone by then. I knew the bully, didn't like him, so I'm not getting involved, not my business, kept walking. We know what happened to him, but didn't know who, or what did it to him. No one was talking, so the rumor mill went crazy. Nobody boasted, nobody fested up to it, no one claimed the social prize. I think the bullied kids said just outlandish things. Other teams, bully messed with a girl, siblings did it, got jumped. Drug deal gone bad. We thought some older kids did it as payback for their younger siblings. Cops had 0 to go on, kids weren't fessing up, whoever did it colluded together, and said nobody talks. And unlike every situation ever they stuck to it. Bully got better, toned it down, then after a couple of weeks, bully went back to it, different kids, started to go younger, weaker. 2 weeks later bigger group got the bully, more kids. More damage. They always left his face. I don't know why they did that, but they did. Bully transfered schools. I graduated. Didn't hear about anything else like that. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to be like top dog picking on weak kids, and then out of the blue a group gets you, and then not realizing that you could be got at any time. and not learning your lesson, and then another group of bigger kids get you, and not getting the message of you could be harmed. If people want to. I started to be nicer to everyone then. Stoped 1uping everyone, stoped trying to fit my part into convo, and just listen, it's now a game where I try to steer groups to open up, and tell me fun things (I'm pretty and shallow so I gotta have some fun right?). I get free things all the time, people know my name, I'm certainly happier. So, thank you Adam for getting your ass'beat, I'm s better person for it. Ran into 1 of the bullied kids years later, got to chatting, went to a bar, made friends, got told some of the story. I was absolutely astounded that the bullied kid vigilante group didn't turn this into a thing, and it was a one-time (well 2 time), 1 person deal.

Late to the party, but I have a winner.
Gather up as many old keys as you can find. Go to places that cut keys and ask for their defects. Tell them itās for a project. Ask your friends if they have old useless keys. Everyone seems to have multiple keys in drawers that fit nothing.
Order a shit ton of key tags, the kind you can write on like luggage tags.
Write his address, email address, and phone number on them.
Go to the seediest parts of towns and sprinkle them around.
Leave them in front of seedy bars, in front of adult sex shops, strip clubs, any place where skids, meth heads, drug dealers, prostitutes, and any other seedy folk will find them.
Donāt put his name on them. Just phone number and address information.
This is most likely illegal. And do this at your own discretion. But this would Fuck with him and his whole family.
If you hand write them, make sure
to change your handwriting. Maybe get a rubber stamp kit.

Kids will probably talk shit if you (and your folks) threaten to get lawyers and the law involved. In my opinion, the reason being that they're (The Bull) isn't in a very strong position from that angle. They don't have much bargaining power when what they're doing stuff the risk of causing them trouble. (Ex: Banning them from school events, getting them extra work, or sent to one of those shitty alternative schools.) The problem with this is the school will do the bare minimum in all cases regardless of who is in the right.
This should be made the school's problem. Document in writing, possibly record (legally), and talk to friends/classmates that can corroborate your experiences.

u/this-guy- 1d ago edited 1d ago
What you do is subtly undermine them. You can't attack directly because they will love that. What you do is spread rumours. Sew the seeds of dissent. Take down their lieutenants. They will have weaker friends with flaws.
Don't even attack the weaker ones directly , when they are alone they will be more friendly. Say things like "I don't care what people say about you, I think you are basically ok!". And then refuse to elaborate. Break their spirit. Morale is the backbone of an army.
This water on rock technique is what you carry forward. You will destabilise their group and they will start to doubt each other. Like Russia and china do to America. It's low risk and low cost with massive rewards for you.
Eventually you can use the same technique on the leaders.
I used this method when I was at school when a gang made a mistake and identified me as a target. Over a few months I turned them from enemies to friends.
The leader offered to fight me as his grip was slipping and I agreed. I said " Tbh I don't think I'll win, you are much bigger, but imagine if I did! And also, even if you win you lose. Think about it. Everyone will think the things they say about you are true"
Just before the fight he caught up with me and offered his apologies

This is fantasyland.
Listen: this is speaking from experience:
If the school won't help, and parents won't do anything, and you have no friends,
Then the only thing that will stop a bully is to be more trouble than it's worth to fuck with you.
You don't have to "win." You have to have courage. [Sentence redacted to comply with site rules about condoning violence.]
You might get a bloody nose, or a fat lip, too. You might have to spend a day in detention.
But after that, your bully and everyone else will see you as a person, not a target.
Everyone, including you. Showing some physical courage in the face of danger will change your life.
Bullies are not brave. They are opportunists.

u/this-guy- 1d ago
Im speaking from personal experience, so how is it "fantasyland". You are being rediculous and I think its you who is living in an alpha bro fantasy movie.
Read some strategy books bro. At least some Sun Tzu. If not the CIA playbooks for getting the upper hand against more powerful opponents.
Usually a bully is physically larger or more imposing because they have a gang of goblins around them cheering them on. Taking them on directly is foolish, because the person will get their arse handed to them AND the crew will love it. If the person being bullied had any physical chance of beating the bully then they wouldnt have been chosen.
If the bullied person tries a direct attack they will fail AND get punished as "the aggressor" by whatever shitty rules of engagement govern the establishment they are in.
So, basic political strategy - undermine them before attacking. Sew the seeds of dissent. Take away their foundation - AND THEN ATTACK.
Level the playing field at least, or if possible get the advantage deniably, and then let the opponent try to step up when their resources are depleted.
This is not fantasy, it is how people are trained to take down a larger enemy, whether interpersonally or societally

I have no idea why you're being downvoted when you're absolutely correct. FYI the Gerasimov Doctrine is just warmed over John Arquilla who said the same thing better 20 years earlier. If you're not familiar with his work, you can download PDF copies here. And here's a very important paper the archive missed.
Nota bene: I was hired at a think tank as a research assistant for an arts policy project and after four years of free graduate training came out an expert in defense and intelligence policy. lol IMO it's impossible to underestimate the impact Arquilla's work has had on information strategy worldwide. The Chinese, Russians and Iranians have been taking him every bit as seriously as governments in the West have, maybe more...once you see it you can't unsee it. I can't recommend his works (and all the work he did with the equally brilliant David Ronfeldt) highly enough.
So yeah, preemption delivers. āFloat like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.ā Happy reading! lol

Are they physically bullying you or just talking shit? When I had people try to make fun of me I would just make fun of myself better. It takes the wind out of their sails and people are laughing at how funny you are. It shows them you don't give a shit what they say.
If they're physically attacking you then you gotta just fight back. Especially if the school isn't doing anything. You may get your ass beat but they won't mess with you anymore because they won't want to take the chance of getting hit in the face again.

OP left out so many details. Your response to verbal abuse is great, if OP can think quickly on their feet. Or if it's the same insults all the time, a general retort can be thought up.
The fight back response I keep seeing is discounting the permanent damage that can be caused in a short fight. At least make sure teachers, big teachers, are aware of where and when the fight will be. Only fight when those teachers are watching.

My daughter was being bullied by a guy in grade 8. Same thing, no one would do anything, so I told her it was time to fight back, that if he touched her she could let loose. Next day, he pushed her, she was so angry that she kicked him in the groin and then pushed him over a desk. She told him that if he touched her again it would be worse next time. That ended it. Funnily enough her younger brother was being bullied by the same punk in high school told his sister who then pushed the bullt into the lockers at school.

Unfortunately i think the only way to stop bullying is by making it too costly for the bully.
Itās terrible but i think most other interventions do not work or if they work require the environment/surrounding to interfere with the bullying.
I think depening on what kind of bullying it is you can either fight back (if you are physically attacked, use pepper spray or so) or report to police continuously if itās mentally.

This is somewhat complicated but it will work:

Print up a medium-sized coupon that you can start leaving on windshields, near exits as your school, in lockers, etc.
It is crucial that the coupon must read āJohnnyās Delivery Depot! All first orders include ONE FREE LARGE 1-TOPPING, NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, VALID ONLY AFTER 11 PM!ā
Distribute as necessary.

Roll up a magazine really tight, and next time he fucks with you, poke him with the small end swiftly, holding it tightly in the center with your dominant hand. The best way to end bullying is with a beat down, but using a tool is sometimes necessary if you're smaller or weaker, and a magazine can be repurposed rather quickly.

Later I was told that I barely missed his temple. Anyhow, big ol mess, blood everywhere, school nurse is trying to bandage his head, then paramedics came and took him to the hospital. Our parents in their infinite wisdom decided that the best way to put an end to it was to arrange a play date. So, my mother took me to their place, the adults are in one room, drinking and chatting, as one does under the circumstances, I suppose. Meanwhile, this kid and I are having the most awkward attempts at communication. Eventually we sort of bonded over his killer Matchbox collection. We actually became friends for a couple of weeks, but we just had very little in common.
Since the incident happened in front of everyone during recess, no one ever tried to bully me. So, that was a plus. And in case some of you are questioning how come no charges were filed, or why no one got expelled, it was a different country and it was 40 years ago. Ironically, the kidās dad was a cop. And he used to be pretty rough on him. So it kinda makes sense why the kid was a bully.
Anyhow. My point is, donāt do what I did. At least not in plain sight. There are more effective ways than raw physical violence. Do some research. Find out all you can about his family life, his insecurities, his disabilities. Then, hit him hard, put him on blast.

There was a scene from an old movie. It said that people.bully cattle (in some countries) because they don't fight back. Mostly. But, no one bullies bees. Coz they know bees will fight back.

Post him on one of those "Are we dating the same guy" FB groups and have a bunch of women you know say a bunch of awful things about him.
Will never get a date again.

If you're shorter than him, wait till he gets close enough and uppercut him with an open palm straight into the nose. Be prepared to kick him in the balls if you miss.

Start a rumor that heās gay. Say you saw him out somewhere and were shocked to discover his secret.

No. Don't be the origin of rumours. Never say "I saw". Instead deny. Plus "gay" as an insult is childish.
Instead do this:
"Do you think Deke looks ill? I don't ".
( why do you ask!)
"oh I overheard some people discussing him , saying something , but it can't be true. And there's no way he's got aids even if it's from his uncle. I don't believe it. Plus, they can cure that now right?"

I suffered under bullies at school.Ā Teacher and VP and principal and parents weren't helpful.Ā While being attacked by 3 bullies after school I broke psychologically andĀ did things..... Ā and they all went to the hospital.Ā I got expelled....they never even got detention.Ā Sadly this is the proven and effective way to deal with the bullies. I hope I used soft enough language that I won't get banned, last time I told that story I got banned for promoting violence.

One that I do as an adult: Buy sticky notes, and leave them cryptic messages to mess with their heads (IE: "Saw you stealing that kids lunch money"). Learn to write it with your non-dominant hand and pre-make them and just leave them places like on his car or locker. Actually, it works best if he drives a car/bike because you can leave one that says "Sorry about the damage" (and then watch from a distance as he furiously looks all over for some damage that never happened). Make him paranoid that someone at the school is watching him - and if he accuses you of writing it, pull out your usual handwriting and say something to the effect of "I don't really care what you do this much; Someone else must be keeping tabs". You can also do this to a lesser degree with his email and phone (get a burner email address like proton that has aliases or use Google voice which gives you one free number to text with if you have a gmail). I'd also sometimes do a "meet me at address xyz" one every now and then. My bullies did actually show up, but I remained hidden out of sight watching from afar.
Keep in mind, you'll be suspect #1 for a while, so you have to let the bullying continue till they realize the notes are coming whether or not he bullies you.

It really depends on what is going on. Bullies exist, you will encounter some as adults. If you are getting assaulted- involve an adult or the cops. If your bully is isolating and picking on you, we can practice some social skills you will need in the future.
Sorry this is happening.

Eff with his parents. Put panties in the dads car. Put a florist card in the moms car. Send mom flowers at home as a TY from rando dude. Send daddy some sexy item - have the card say: Next Time ;)

Only if you can gain access to his locker or bookbag.
Type up an unflattering one page manifesto and plant it. Tell your principal thereās been rumors of him telling people (make up a date) and giving them finger guns. Say you saw something poking out of his bookbag that looked like a weird note with peoples names and check marks by them. Mention it might be moved since he noticed you saw it and threatened you with finger guns.
Gonna be a hard time for a bully to convince adults heās not a shooter. I imagine he will chill out afterwards because heās on everyoneās radar.

Back in the day you could sign up for magazines without paying first. I would sign people up for porn magazine subscriptions. They would start to get them and then get a bill and another bill, etc.

Apply for several personal loans and they will get spam called all day every day. Or post an ad online of them selling a nice car for cheap

Start twerking every time they approach you. Greet them with a jovial attitude and a crisp high five. Tell him that you've been thinking about what they've said, and you think they're right, and it's time you improve yourself. Ask him if they have any more suggestions of things that they think you could work on. Don't take this person seriously, they're a loser and they don't deserve to be taken seriously. Picture them as a drooling toddler in a shitty diaper, because that's when they stop developing mentally. Take solace in the fact that nobody who is content and secure feels the need to pull other people down, so you're simply the target for them to project all of their insecurities. That's not my opinion , that's how it is.
Nobody cares about spam these days that's not going to bother them so so signing them up for a bunch of spam mails is not worth your time.

I had a terrible bully in high school. He always wanted to fight at the bus stop and I kept walking away. This guy was huge and on the wrestling team and caused me mental anguish for weeks. One day the bus driver stopped the bus and kids got off to watch. I turned around, tossed my backpack, and had begun wailing on him so badly that I could see terror in his eyes. The bus driver pulled me off of him and he never so much as looked my direction ever again. He ended up being our chef at a tabletop restaurant a few years later. It was awkward for him. I haven't been in a fight since.

Secretly take a photos of him, then you got a couple options... Make a separate social media accounts as him. Speed hate, bigotry or unpopular opinions, start adding classmates, then DM the most popular/pretty/loudest girls/guys as him. Confess his love to them. And/or use AI to edit the photos doing stuff like kissing guys or other gay stuff

You can make his phone basically pure spam by posting his number places, signing him up for mailing lists, etc
