Basically I don't find Shouya relatable since I've never bullied anyone and didn't even had such thoughts/intentions in my life. Admittedly, I was also a loner in school - never hang out with anyone and other students verbally harassed me from time to time but I'd always fight back if anyone tried physically harass me so in that regard I was safe - but that's besides the point. Why characters/people like Shouya even resort to bullying in the first place?

idk if it's count but when I was at elementary school there was a kid everyone hated including me, it was his fault tho but one day he tried to throw a chair on me for some reason. I dodged and beat the hell outta him, after that everyone started bully him harder and I didn't care much since I hate him so I supported them. again idk if it's count I didn't do anything directly to him but kick his ass on that day

I had done it and never once been proud of it. Admittedly I was very young and dumb at the time but nevertheless it was not a reason to bully someone.

As for the reasons why characters like Shouya resort to bullying I think that it could be because at that time he was still a kid and probably did not understand the harm he was doing to Shoko. In the eyes of Shouya, he might think that the things he do is all harmless pranks, but to the receiving end might experience the opposite.

Its been a long time since I watched show so I could be entirely wrong.

When I was in 6th grade, me and two friends chased a kid in our class around on the playground. I thought we were playing tag until one of my friends tackled the kid and pulled his pants down. He then got on top of him and started spanking him, he was saying “Donkey Kong” while doing it.

I had no clue the kid was autistic. All 3 of us got in big trouble for it. I got chewed out pretty badly by my mother and grandparents. The one who tackled and spanked the kid got suspended and me and my other friend got lunch detention. So yeah, I would say I sort of bullied someone.

I've never bullied but I've fought back with the thrice amount of time the person has bullied me. Anyways children usually bully when they're small. They're much different from highschool students who have some amount of maturity and conscience which children don't have. I was bullied like nishimiya because I was found a little different from other people, the people who bullied me back then are now my friends and I kind of miss them too

I have actually ironically bullied a childhood female friend of mine who also had hearing issues like Shouko though her hearing isn't nearly as bad and neither was the bullying which was mainly just boys being boys playing a little too rough for her liking.

Other than that me & my clique used to casually bully fat people in school and this gay/effeminate guy back when I attended church. No regrets though it was good memories

Well ever since I start going to school I never encounter any extreme bully's there was always kids in my class's who always picks fights but they where out of the bubble of my surroundings and I never cared about them there was times when others pick fights with me but it doesn't consider getting bullied cuz most of the time I beat them more I was always better physically and taller then all of the students I mean during middle school I was literally tallest person in the whole school even including seniors so no one ever tried to bully me I sometimes saw some group of kid's ganging on one person making fun of them but that was only on school level and I never give it much thought

I did some revenge bullying to the kid who bullied me. Threw him to ground and started kicking his ass (literally). Also spat on him. So this anime is actually super relatable because I connect with both leads. It's like romancing myself. Innovative experience I'm telling you. I still like your name better though plz no bully.

This is coming from a person who has never bullied someone so I am not quite sure, but in my opinion, it is common among young kids to bully for many reasons. For example, it can be because of personal stress-load (family issues, at-school issues, etc) where children feel that taking their anger out on other kids will relieve their stress. Another reason can be because of peer pressure or simply just wanting to 'fit-in' with students at school. There could be other reasons, but that's all I can think of so far.

Bullying is quite vague as a term because it takes many different forms and to different extents.

I had been once accused of bullying as a kid but from my perspective I was only teasing someone and winding them up, it felt back and forth as we both disliked each other. I was just better at making them upset than they were at making me upset.

In terms of the bullying to this extent I’ve never witnessed it let alone taken part of it. However my eldest brother is a little autistic and was quite badly bullied, he wasn’t diagnosed until he was an adult. It’s just the way kids are sometimes and I think they find it fun and a way to elevate the feelings of being left out. It’s probably natural and from our evolution for humans to pick groups and discriminate and it’s something we have to learn not to do. Empathy is something we develop and we aren’t born with it. An old teacher of mine used to refer to teaching as ‘speaking in front of a room of 30 psychopaths’.

Essentially I think it’s a sign of immaturity and insecurity of oneself. Something abundant in children.

My situation is basicaly the same as you but I remember that one time when I did it to the girl in my class. It was nothing serious but to her it was and few days later I heard she cried so I apologized to her and never did it again.
Edit: when I said I did it to a girl in my class, I meant bullying.

Well I never bullied anyone directly but there had been few instances where my friends try to bully a poor person and I couldn't even stop them & I have to get along with them, so I don't know if this is also considered as bullying someone

Although when it comes to online, yeah there are many stupid people who think really high of themselves and they need to be shown their places
