Long story short - when someone didn’t like me I figured they could kiss my @ss. When I left school I never looked back and only once in a blue moon do I think I’d love to lord over them what good life I have now.
But it’s terrible how many people have trouble shaking it off. Very wrong and very sad.
I don’t understand this. when I was in the 7th and 8th grades, I was the one the school decided needing bullying (and badly...once one or two got on the bandwagon, almost the whole school did). I cried a lot, I suffered a lot every minute of every school day, I got no support from teachers and my mom told me to just “brush it off,” so no help there. Never once did I think about committing suicide. I don’t understand this trend.
I don’t know, but my attitude was about the same, there was no way I would ever let some lowlife scum win by default, EVER! Yes I did get picked on and harrassed, but at the same time, I guess I had the fight rather than the flight response in me. As far as the internet goes, IMHO, there’s got to be some way to let people know that hey, do you really want to give up on life and let some lowlife win? When I was growing up, they even told you at the schools that if someone wrote nasty stuff to you to turn it in as evidence. If someone did it on say, facebook, why not do likewise?
It’s sad that people don’t seem to have the shake it off ability that they used too.
