Well, we do have a class personality who is free of any clique and is friends with everybody and represents the class as a whole due to his genius intellect, quick wit, and overall hilarity.
Yes I'm talking about me.
Kind of obvious... no offense
In my school it's not really friendship groups -- I can easily identify specific groups that people generally hang out with but each person branches into 2-3 different groups and it all interconnects really... The guys who do P.E I get along with, and the group of non-*****y girls (I actually have no real other way of putting it) I get along with... of course there's two different groups of them but still.
Then you have the genuine people -- duller sense of humor than the P.E guys, but more relaxed, generally more intelligent (higher sets in academic areas) but quite honestly seem to be arrogant because of that respect.
Then you've got this off-shoot musical group of smart (they all are, but these guys are a different kind of smart) but hilariously clumsy guys who always have a good time and seem to have more common sense as a result in some scenarios.
All friends -- I "hang out" with none in particular, either... though it should be noted that that's of my own choice that isn't shared by too many other people in my school ^^
As for bullying?
Doesn't happen.
At all... I mean, there are actions taken by a lot of people I know that I wouldn't condone or even agree with that could be in relation to another person some way, but a lot of it I couldn't constitute as bullying. The more severe actions made against people generally have a story behind it (by "generally" I mean always), and the rarity of it happening makes it more of something to solve straight away than a matter of bullying.
'Course... that also isn't solved in the way I'd prefer, but alas, it wouldn't involve me.
Yep. Four times in a row. Anyways, I think bullies will look for any excuse to bully. As shown in this fable.....
Something that I don't know if it holds true, but definitely worth pointing out that I've had times where I would lie, use only some excuses I have or make false ones entirely (that are reasonable) in order to do something personal on my own accord... never to harm another person (hell... that barely if ever happens), but I don't think others would understand. Can I blame them? Of course not, being as I can see a lot of different things and be a lot of different things that people genuinely do not see -- if I did bring any of the scenarios up they would thing I've undergone a complete change of character! (I am sadly a cynical character in real life as well -- trying to change that, though
)
With bullying some may feel justified somehow, others may not think others understand their situation... Others just act that way to give them "the excuse"?
I honestly don't know -- but bullying I've never seen as bad as its heard of honestly, and I can't imagine too many situations of that actually happening.
No... I am not underestimating what it can do or be like -- I've not bore witness to enough of it to honestly know. -- Simply put, I'm speaking from experience.
It's not that I don't believe you, but I would believe you even more if you had proof to such a claim. if I remember right you are a satanist, and most people in america are christian. so therefore, unless you never told them you were one, that claim really can't be possible.
The only reason people in my school know I'm atheist is because they're so relatively tolerant, and furthermore a lot of them claim the same thing. I say tolerant, but I should note there was quite an interesting discussion going around about homosexuality when a certain figurehead in the media was brought up -- a lot of people, and not all that unreasonably so figured that it was a choice and it was quite difficult influencing them otherwise...
That, and the moral point of "there's not really anything wrong with it anyways" always works. I should try and simplify a lot of arguments though -- I always see a moral debate as a subjective measurement of two or more different things, so I should ask "You would value X over Y... think about that for a minute ^^ ".
"HOW DARE YOU BULLY THIS UNDERWEIGHT QUIET CHILD"
*people chasing the bullies*
me thinking:...im not a child but.... ok :3
Quick question -- just how valued is / was your word at the time?
i remember only being in a "fight" once.
Strangely enough (being as I am cynical and outright "weird"
, I've never been in a proper fight with anyone bar my brother when I was much younger... quite funny really.
I don't bring myself to hit someone and engage in a fight -- I see it as a last resort and it's for the most part not worth it... I honestly have no idea how I'd handle myself in one though.
Also.. you've somewhat vague recollections of "fights"... if you can even call them that :P
But the superhero one at the start was kind of funny, if you don't mind me saying ^^
