When I say Ignore I mean the very definition.
When I did / do deal with it, it's not really a matter for me - I see the idea that they finally left me alone an oppurtunity if anything.
Yes, I've learnt to always look at the bright side of things, as shown on Page 6.
Do you never talk to anyone in school?
I do, but quite frankly I wouldn't care less if they decided to ignore me, the first reason would be that it wasn't my fault and is really theirs.
The second? Call me arrogant but it's their loss, as said (also on Page 6) I like to be independent, it's another oppurtunity.
The third? It's another oppurtunity for simply relaxing, thinking, doing whatever, just having a walk - I chose that before having the possibility to talk in the Hall in my school with friends, because it was pouring down outside and everyone was in, I wanted to just relax for 5 minutes.
GoblinD, the silent treatment is no big deal I think. If some kid doesn't want to chat with me, then fine, screw him.
Basically my first point.
It is not as if he can muster up 100% of the populace to ignore me. I've never seen anybody people hated that he couldn't find someone to talk to. [Maybe in a smaller school, its true?]
Even then it can't be too much of a big deal if someone is capable of doing that.
Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to agree with this. High School for me, has been ridiculously easy.
A bit too easy, especially when my maths teacher put up a number like this:
"12,684,294,172,186,502"
He asked us if we could name this number, and I don't think he expected me to raise my hand and say "With the American numbers (A british billion = 12 Zeroes, an American = 9 Zeroes, the American version is more widely used, even though I live in Wales) it is twelve quadrillion, six hundred and eighty four trillion, two hundred and ninety four billion one hundred seventy-two million, one hundred and eighty six thousand five-hundred and two."
He was gobsmacked, everyone was like "What?" and I was laughing.
My bro-in-law was laughing as well since he was right next to me and had NO IDEA wtf just happened lol.
Moments like that make me laugh. :>
Besides math/science courses, I think it is impossible to really judge anybody's intelligence, all the stupid kids aren't stupid because they happen to think any slower, they're just stupid because they make dumb choices and then wonder why they can't understand anything in, lets say English, after not having read the book just because they were too lazy.
It's fundamental stupidity, in some cases. However I do have to say reading books etc is a pain.
Not that I've had to do it, extended work hasn't been too much of a problem although quite honestly I can understand that reading a large book is very annoying and even unnecessary in a lot of cases.
Though in my school, there are enough smart kids/better grade getters so that it isn't like any kid with an A is left out.
Where do you live?
I think my mum's way for dealing with a bully has worked-fight them back.
It generally does work but in some situations it isn't a good option. In mine for instance it would show a radically stupid change of character and a very unnecessary act considering I'm on no bad terms with people, really speaking.
