You might as well remove that remark Kaushi, to expect sense or consideration from this forum won't go well, you'd most likely only be mocked for it, (though I do sympathize for you).

Look, it's not like I'm sitting here laughing at people offing themselves because they were picked on.

But, let's face it...if it wasn't bullying, they were going to off themselves later in life for something else equally as laughably trivial.

Someone get the job they were aiming for, for months?
Car gets stolen?
Clearly the answer to these much more serious life issues is to kill yourself.

Let's be serious here. It's part of life. Get over it.

I supported it to a point, but the thing is that they don't have control over "personal accountability." I know quite a few of people with that kind of problem (I'm married to one), there is no alleviating life's difficulties for them. They have plenty of accountability, but they cannot control whether or not it is disabling to their everyday lives. They have a chemical imbalance that can only be somewhat controlled by modern medicine, but never cured. If anyone claims they are cured of mental disabilities, then I'd like to know how that was accomplished, as I'm guessing Hell go real cold. lol

Bullying in schools takes many forms. The mild forms are what i'm assuming Harrison is disregarding as "shit you just need to deal with and get over." However, in many cases, systematic and pervasive bullying can basically ruin a person's childhood, and there is nothing the kid can do to make it change. The blame shouldn't be placed on the kids, obviously, nor even on the kids' parents, who are probably at fault to some degree for their kid not having friends or being "cool." Teachers need to make sure that school is an environment where bullying is harshly punished, so that kids that are different aren't being tortured while serving their time in the public school system.

So if you're bullied in 2nd grade and become depressed, its because you don't have personal responsibility and want everything in life to be great and go your way. Glad to know you're a complete douche. He was 8 years old.

11 is past my bed time. Maybe you can just remind me now since you seem to have it figured out.

This is the only part of your entire post that made sense.

You still didn't grasp the simple concept though. I'm not really surprised. You're obviously too biased to think this through without frothing at the mouth in bitter anger.

You were bullied in school. So were billions of humans over thousands of years, get over it.

I may have been made fun of but apparently my reading comprehension is >>> yours for it. ... am I really this bored?

Haha Ennoia. I was just thinking that Harrison probably got picked on.

I got bullied a lot in elementary school because 8 year olds doing high school level science projects for fun weren't exactly the 'in' thing. Didn't really have any friends, spent all my time by myself, had 1 birthday party where like 3 people showed up. Middle school rolled around and name calling and not letting me play at recess turned to getting food thrown at me and people starting rumors about me. It continued through my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school until I had just gotten sick of it. I went from being the guy everyone picked on to the guy no one would dare ever cross. Good for the kid that stood up for himself. Unfortunately it leads to people like Harrison who want to play internet tough guy.
