I agree with Saddlebreed. I've also noticed these "symptoms":<br /> <br /> Seeming really sad or unhappy and refusing to talk about why, sometimes even to there trusted friends.<br /> Showing up at class with red eyes from crying.<br /> <br /> Trying to avoid all questions from the school counselor (although this is not unusual even in people who are not being bullied, at least at my school. My 6th grade english teacher was a better counselor than our official counselor).<br /> <br /> However, Yack, I appreciate the sentiment.

I disagree on most of this.<br /> <br /> "If someone is sloching " A lot of people slouch. I slouch. Heck, I've known teachers to slouch. This is a sign of bad posture not being bullied. A lot of boys in my school did this because they were hiding their phones from the teacher and even cheating on tests.<br /> <br /> "writeing things that put themsevles down" This is a sign that someone has a lack of confidence. Many teenagers do this because their body is suddenly changing and they no longer are comfortable in their skin. And please don't have me go on and on about how the advertising market plays a huge role in this.<br /> <br /> <br /> "If they never ever talked to anyone since a guy told them "something"." Yes, this is a form of bullying. Rumors get spread, people get jealous, but only you can help set the record straight. Talk to a teacher or a trusted adult. They can help you.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> "Blink A LOTaround certain people: your best friend or girl friend" Just because someone blinks a lot around someone, doesn't mean they are being bullied. I blink more then the average person simple because I have a bad eye and it tends to get stressed and painful. I've known people to blink at others they like because they are shy or the sun is too bright or even if they are sick and their eyes begin to water or hurt.<br /> <br /> <br /> "Never makes eye contact" I didn't make eye contact in high school because I was painfully shy and I was taught it was rude to stare at someone. My eyes would avoid another person's like the plague. I tended to look at my feet or the wall when I was talking to someone. Even now my shyness gets the best of me and I don't make eye contact or if I do, I will not hold it. It feels too awkward to continue to look at someone.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> "last but not least: They have thier fist balled when a bullie or mean person comes around" I've never balled my fist up at the sight of a bully nor have I known anyone to do so until they are going after someone. People have a lot of anger inside of them. I've known people to punch a wall or another person because they got a bad grade, they are having problems at home or they are frustrated with something or someone. I've even seen someone punch a glass mirror because they were upset with how a hair cut came out.<br /> <br /> Some signs that I've noticed:<br /> 1. Unexplained bruising or cuts.<br /> 2. Stolen or missing items such as backpacks, lunches or money.<br /> 3. Anger issues, mood swings or acting scared.<br /> 4. Fights.<br /> 5. Being terrified at school; always trying to find out where someone is so they can take a route to class that avoids that person.<br /> 6. Glaring at someone so hard, the background lectures, noises and such completely disappear.<br /> 7. Writing about how you wish someone was dead and the ways you'd like them to die.<br /> 8. Being called names.<br /> 9. Rumors being spread about you.<br /> 10. Making a website dedicated making fun of you.

No this is signs of someone being bullied

o.o<br /> I don't this relates to real life bullies.<br /> <br /> A bully an be anyone, they don't have to write things, slouch, ball their fist or anything.<br /> <br /> A bully could be simply someone who writes notes to someone, calls someone names, or does something that doesn't necessarily relate to what you wrote above.<br /> <br /> <br /> A lot of what you wrote just sounds like someone who has low self esteem, or lazy xD
