Is it normal for older kids to push me around and tell me what to do and make me do stuff for them?

The definition of normality is blurred. If you feel that this is making you uncomfortable then you do not need to tolerate this.

Some kids might feel entitled to boss you around because they are older, but that is no reason for them to make you do something or push you around. No one has any right to push you around, and you should do something because you want to do it; no one has a right to make you do something against your will. If they are doing these things, you might want to talk to a trusted adult or friend about it to see how you can responsibly deal with this situation. If you let this continue happen, not only will you continue being hurt emotionally probably and maybe even physically, but these bullies will think that it is okay to do this to others. By speaking to someone about this, you'll hopefully find a way to deal with the situation so you aren't bothered anymore, and maybe come up with a way to let these people know that it isn't okay for them to do this to others.

yes. Alot of kids pick on kids smaller than them just to "show them whose older". This is normal, however you do not have to stand for this. you can tell them to stop or if you arent comfortable with that you can tell an adult.

NO, it is not normal. For older kids to push you and to make you do stuff for them. So, you have to fight for your self.

No, is not normal and you dont have to obey them. They are no one to tell you what to do. EVeryone is free its style.

Society would claim it as normal but it is morally wrong. It's wrong for anyone to do these things to you. The acceptance of "that's just life" is diminishing and people are realising that bullying shouldn't just be another part of life. With each passing day, more and more people are realising how bullying can affect someone mentally and physically and it is becoming socially unacceptable.

A lot of times this can be true for older kids and teenagers because they want to feel powerful maybe because in their homes they get pushed around a lot.

Normal, yes. Right, no. You don't have to do anything they tell you to, and if they're upsetting you, you have the right to tell an adult.

It is not normal for anyone to order you around unless that person is your mum or siblings and mean well. If you are being pushed around by seniors in your schools or classmates, it can be considered bullying.

No. It's not normal to be the only kid getting bullied or bossed around. Even if everyone's like, "It's just a joke" or "We didn't mean any harm," it's not okay if you feel like you're being hurt or taken advantage of. You can always say no, you can always walk away, you can always ask for help from an adult.
