Do/Did you ever feel in school that its like a bully or be bullied situation. When I went through school you had to be vigilant because heaven forbid someone called you gay. We were naive, we had no facebook or youtube, so we didn't quite grasp what exactly we were doing but all we knew was that you didn't want to be called gay. Hell we thought we were just simplyu razzing on the each other but bullying was bullying. It was like a hot potato which usually ended up burning the least popular guy in class. I admit that I have bullied and have been bullied badly. I regret I never had the sense to realize at the time that it was wrong and not having the strength to say something. I was just wondering if others had found themselves in similar situations because I think its important to highlight this and for people to learn from the mistakes of others instead of repeating them.

I would like to say no, but, honestly... It is bully or be bullied in most situations.
My high school is small and close-knit, but there are still separate groups or popular and less popular students.
In middle school and elementary school I was bullied and there was no way in hell that I was going through that in high school. I must say though, I only bullied people who would have bullied me.
It was about asserting a "not to be screwed with" rep for me; I just wanted to be left alone.

In middle school, 6th grade to be exact, I was bullied by some fat dude and a scrawny kid that looked/looks like a rat.
Back then, it was quite painful to be made fun of, and not because I'm pan (I didn't really know I was at the time) but because these kids only disliked me because I was small and socially awkward. As much as I wanted to "fit in" I really couldn't. I didn't know how.
Nowadays those kids that bullied me have long forgotten who I am.
One thing I've learned is: whether it's bully or be bullied, it's all just a phase. One must have patience and try to ride the wave. One thing that helps is saying, "I don't care." in a simple, flat tone to any rude comment directed toward you.
Think before you speak, and speak before your thoughts escape you. |
