No, No, no. Being bullied is the shitiest feeling in the world. I have had the pleasure of being bullied by my own father.... There is nothing good about it. Now, you can turn your experience into a positive, but that doesn't mean that bullying is actually a good thing.
And to the OP, I'm glad you were able to turn such a negative experience into a positive, but your proposition that bullying is a good thing is utter nonsense. It is not a matter of whether the act of bullying itself is a good thing, to say that is absolutely ridiculous. Rather, this is a matter of "can you turn the negative experience of being bullied into a positive thing?"
The answer to that is yes. But again, that does not make bullying a good thing, AT ALL!
The worst type of bulling D:
Indeed. When other people basically say your beneath them, and constantly attack who you are, its bad enough. But when it's one of your parents.....
But in spite of that, I took this negative and made it a positive. I was able to transform this terrible experience, and make it into something where I had more respect for myself, and take more pride in who I am as a person. Now I'm at the point where when he talks shit like that, I say to myself "what an asshole" and shrug it off.
That's the point I'm trying to make to the OP. It is not that bullying can be a good thing, it's that you can take it and try to turn it into something positive.
