Anti Bullying

Maybe bullies need the bullied just as much as the bullied need the bullies.

Is there a support group you bitches can join, or is this your only outlet?

If you want to be taken seriously don't make posts like that.

But... the posts you have made, on average, make some good points. We don't want a society of people who can't walk on their two feet, who can't do anything in life because they're too weak-willed or fearful. So some friction is good because it builds resilience. On the other hand, too much friction can kill or harm. Not everybody has the same tolerance for friction. We have to find a middle-ground and there'll always be exceptions to the rule. The balance is almost always somewhere in between, though. I think it's a mixture of both humility and reservation and self-confidence and toughness. Nobody can go through life being a jerk and stepping on everyone else. Nobody can go through life locked up inside themselves or too afraid to do the simplest activity. So when trying to understand this issue we need to be wary of the extremes and try to find a balance.

There're lots of walls I can't break down and yet many break them down every day without breaking a sweat. I admire that. I don't want to be weak. I don't want to be afraid of walls or left to simmer in my anxieties. I have some sympathy for people who can't break down walls. Sometimes I get angry at others who can't break down their walls because I see it as pathetic and self-destructive, but then I put the spotlight on myself and am reminded of my own failings. Anger rarely achieves its intended affect unless we're already most of the way to doing what we need to do. Screaming at someone with angry words helps not if they're not already most of the way there. If they can't get angry themselves to get them over the last few hurdles, then packing on more of it probably won't help. So the best we can do is help them better understand what they're afraid of and how it's not threatening to them. Help em to figure how how to overcome it and win. Win one for humanity.

One person out of how many in this thread gets the point?

That's pretty bad, guys.

I was the one defending those being bullied, but awesome way to assume the exact opposite.

My stance on this subject changes in no way because I have a propensity to defend those weaker than I. That's a survival instinct most people are born with and ends up suppressed these days for various reasons. Kids are suspended for defending themselves now. That's more of a problem than bullying ever was. Did anyone stand up for you?

You even said yourself you learned to stand up for yourself. What would you have done were you never bullied? You'd probably be a weak-willed pussy as an adult, incapable of handling life's hardships, or at least some of them.

This recent bullshit about bullying pisses me off. Billboards on it even...fucking billboards. Pathetic and disgusting...

Actually I'd have continued being a nerd and ended up going to college to land a job making more money than God. Instead? Chicks were finally willing to take their clothes off in front of me and I stopped caring about everything else. It's ok though, the fact that you have to have a picture of yourself with a firearm as your avatar just shows how insecure you are as a human being. Don't try to deny it, you'll just make yourself look like more of a jackass (if that's even possible). Remember, guns don't kill people, losers who try to act cool on the internet and pretend they don't care what people think about them do.

I do have to agree though that the punishment for simply getting into a fight at school is fucking retarded. Yea...let's have the kids who need to learn to behave the most just not be allowed in a structured environment so they can learn fuck all about getting along with others.

Also, Rilkean, call me.

Oh, please tell me more forum-Freud. I am in need of another psychobabble breakdown from someone who can't get over the fact they were picked on in high school and still bitch about it as an adult.

Only thing you need to know: he posted a picture of himself sporting an Affliction(tm) tee. Literally everyone who dresses like that has an iq under 90 and is a horrible person.

[Harrison]

No idea what an Affliction tee is, but that shirt was a Christmas present I wore probably a handful of times before I stopped wearing it.

Also, I'd like to hear more of your method of extracting IQ from clothing trends. My interest is piqued!
