I have always been impressed by that. Is there really that much bullying on Japan or is that a manga only thing?

In general i can't understand that bullying thing, i had always been a bipolar guy, i'm as polite as i can be and i try to go unnoticed since i like been alone. But if someone thinks he can play around with me i transform him into a bloody piece of meat (that's the standard here). I just can't understand people who won't stand for themselves, even if you were to lose (and that is hard since the people who bully others tend to be the most pathetic muscular guys who think going to the gym make you good at fighting) there would be the respect you owned, the others respect might be worth nothing, but the self-respect is important.
I can't stand seen a MC been bullied, it makes me want to jump inside the story and beat the crap out of everybody 🤣 Am i the only one?

I think that's what these mangas aim for.

Lol. They probably do right? Can't help thinking a good beating would be a better solution that ending up been "friends with every body" "and holding hands towards the setting sun" tough.

I'd say bullying like that exist but I'm not 100% sure about Japan but in Korea there's this thing called wangta where pretty much you are the loser of your entire class and everyone will go out their way not to talk to you, look at you, or even acknowledge your existence. They will avoid you like their life depended on it. I'm pretty sure they have something like that in Japan but I don't know the details on it.

There was this child in my class on elementary school who was left alone by the rest of the class, i can't even remember why (i never pay much attention to anything, i don't know if i ever knew), i was there for him and could't care less what others would tough, i had bad fame due to my aggressive behavioured so nobody messed with me anyway, i didn't even like him that much. we didn't have much in common, but seen him all alone make me feel his pain, he was a nice guy. Why should i treat someone i don't know like trash if the real trash is the people who think they are better?
Any way, the guy moved to Spain a few years later, i feel proud of what i did, and i think we should all stand up when we see some one who can't.
Ignore those who deserve to be ignored, those who seek attention by stepping on someone, be there for those who shine the least, give them a hand. That's something that would make you proud of yourself.
Now i'm not a kid anymore, even if i wish i could, i won't be able to help them, no the kind of help they need the most. If by chance you see someone going on trough something like this try and give him a hand, that's all...

I kind of let my self go with all that, but i really feel it.

You did a good thing, and sadly not many have the courage to do the same.
In Korea, if you get involved with the bullied kid, you become one as well. The situation is a little different in Asia because most of the time due to extra activities, after school tutoring, and things like that, you're in school more often then you are at home.
So the classmates you end up with are a big deal, because they're like your second family. Also, changing a grade or anything doesn't help most of the time if rumors about you have spread around the school about being a wangta, you may be forever alone till you graduate or until people are actually mature enough to stop it.
Bullying is such a big problem, shame nobody has done anything about it for so long.

the thing i've always wondered about is when in manga there's a really popular guy that a lot of girls like, the girls seem to make a pack saying that the guy "belongs" to everyone and no one should date him. and then, of course, he gets a girlfriend and all these girls start bullying the girlfriend. does that type of stuff really happen in Asia or does manga just make that up?

Nah.. i think when you are bullied it's most likely 5 vs. 1 or something like that.. so no one would help you and think will become difficult 'cause youre alone..well i wouldn't try fighting these guys then and looking for a way out..
but you're right. most of these guys are pathetic! if you're meet one alone from them, they wouldn't try anything, because there scared, huh? most feel great to win a fight with a group vs. 1 person.. really pathetic!
but most of them wouldn't try to bully someone who fight back.. like i said those people just bully someone to feel better

(if i ever meet those people again who bullied me i will crush them (learned selfdefense after that).. sad that i didnt hate the courage to do so back than..)

This topic has been covered in Does this really happen in Japan? If you want to talk about bullying in general here is a thread for that.

Sorry, i searched Bullying for topic name and found nothing so i tough it wasn't covered. After this post i'm not writing any more here.

If the are too many guys there is always the option of going against a wall so they can't attack you from the back or aiming for the "boss" and knocking him out, the others get scared if you do (when i say boss i mean the guy who "start" the problem)

NOTE: When i say knocking, in case you are actually taking this advice, i'm not asking you to think you can make a guy pass out in one clean hit, aim for the eyes, the neck, genitals or use your elbow in his nose (if you go for this use it upward, picture your self trying to make his nose go up in his cranium, for a maximum chance of serious damage) or the back of his head if you get the chance (close to the beginning of the neck), Knees are also good options.

The last solution would be running and then hitting the first one to reach you (this works out well too)

Me too, it happens in shonen too when the main guy gets too close to the "School Idol" (concept that also seems laughable from my point of view), like if all the nerds of the school own her.
