History Main / BullyBrutality

Related to KidsAreCruel, TeensAreMonsters, and BulliedIntoDepression. Compare NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, a common weapon in the bully's arsenal for this trope. Contrast with SchoolBullyingIsHarmless. Sadly, this is TruthInTelevision; some RealLife bulles have been known to [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence brutally beat, maim, disable, or even]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath kill their victims]]. That being said, Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease

* Buggs from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten|2017}}'' is generally just a standard BarbaricBully, but he'll outright beat the protagonist to death if you refuse to give him half your money at the start of the school day or if you provoke him by bringing up his DisappearedDad (though Ms. Applegate can put a stop to the latter).
* ''VideoGame/LostJudgment''; halfway through the game, Yagami and company secure a vital piece of evidence into their case, which turns out to be a video of a bullying incident recorded in secret by one of the key players in said case, [[spoiler: Jin Kuwana]]. In the video, they see a gang of bullies harassing their target, with the leader punching and ''dropkicking'' the poor victim before stripping him of his clothes, causing the boy to soil himself to further mockery from the bullies. As they watch, Sugiura comments that the kids in the video are the absolute worst he's seen.
* In ''[[VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles Shadow Lake]]'', a tough-looking girl follows the boy who found an artifact up to the school's bell tower and tries to bully him into handing it over. In the struggle, he's knocked over the railing and falls to his death.

** In ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E16ByeByeNerdie Bye Bye Nerdie]]'', Lisa meets a new girl named Francine, who proceeds to bully her, making the episode one of the few times Lisa gets the "constant NoHoldsBarredBeatdown" kind of bullying throughout the show.. It's revealed that Francine bullies her and any other nerds due to their pheromone, which Lisa would dub "poindextrose"; Francine can otherwise be nice to Lisa if either her nose is covered or Lisa has her pheromone be covered by a different scent.

* ''Manga/JuujikaNoRokunin'': The 5 main antagonists pick this trope and run with it. When the bullies were [[EnfantTerrible only 10-12 years old]], they started to pick on the [[WouldHurtAChild also 10-12 years old]] [[TheHero Uruma]], with the ''explicit goal of [[DrivenToSuicide nudging him into commiting suicide]]''. And when Uruma changed schools to avoid them, [[UngratefulBastard despite being forgiving to the point of not name-checking the bullies to school authorities]], the ringleader [[BigBad Kyou Shigoku]] '''proceds to cause a car crash that kills Uruma's parents and beats Uruma's younger brother into a coma''' ([[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior have I mention these dudes were like 11]]). And when Uruma comes back some years later to get revenge, you would expect that at least one of these guys would show remorse for their actions or grow into normal-ish individuals. Nope. They ''' ''all'' ''' grew up to be delusional criminals and sociopaths that hurt other people [[ForTheEvulz for no other reason than to watch the world burn]]. [[TheHunterBecomesTheHunted As a result, no one feels sorry for them when Uruma kills them in his quest for revenge.]]

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'' has Kiritaka [[SadisticChoice blackmailed into jumping off a cliff, or else his bullies will upload]] a [[YourMom falsified sex video of his mother on the internet]]. [[CruelAndUnusualDeath It doesn't end well for him]]. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Most of the bullies balk at the fact that Kiritaka got himself killed]], but only because [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk they don't want to get arrested and try to flee the scene]]. However, the ringleader, Okaya, only laments that "[[{{Sadist}} he let him win and escape]]". Then, to cover their tracks, the bullies leave behind a suicide note that matches Kiritaka's handwriting, hack his Twitter account to post several messages hinting at suicide, and overall make it look like he was DrivenToSuicide due to AbusiveParents. His mother, [[MamaBear Mari]], does not take it well, both [[ItsAllMyFault before]] and [[DrivenToVillainy after]] learning the [[NeverSuicide truth]].

* Chris Hargensen of ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'' fame. Aside from tormenting Carrie over her first period and pouring pigs' blood over her head as a prank, it's noted that she's committed such horrible things as stuffing firecrackers in someone's shoes and nearly blowing her toes off just because the girl had a harelip, among other mistreatments of "misfit" pupils. The principal of the school even flat-out tells Chris's father that, with all of the things she's done, they could easily have her thrown in prison.
