[quote]Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to add this part in.
A week ago, I saw a picture in an old Times magazine of a Syrian man who set himself on fire to rebel to the government. If one sacrifices himself for the greater good of everyone else, I consider that being strong. But sitting on your king sized bed in your multi story house in the suburbs and complaining how everyone's insulting you, that's just plain old weak and idiotic.
Do you like to be hurt?
Life's not always butterflies and sunshine. Kids need to get used to it, the easy way, if possible.
No they aren't. These people are the ones who're going through a lot of emotional turmoil and I consider them brave for even dealing with it up until the point that they did.
They would be brave if they took a firm stand and rebelled against the bullies. If they just whimper and complain and say "oh I'm depressed because I'm being bullied :'(" , then they need to work a little on their self-esteem.
I'm talking about kids. Kids who are bullied by basically entire classes. Yes it happens, and it's never justified.
And you've obviously never been to the Balkans. Or Russia. Kids there are as horrible. I remember my childhood, it was a rough one. I had a switchblade with me at all times, and I've had to use it more than once. I remember hearing my friends and parents always complain about "weak little ****s" because they get verbally bullied. We're here, fighting every day because society's just retarded in the certain country, taking it all in as if nothing's happening, then you hear about a kid committing suicide because "Bullies called me fat/ugly/etc. :'(". Well BooHoo. Grow some guts, and stand up for yourself.
So any average man should be able to live a happy life feeling hated.
Wearing red and white instead of black and white, or vice versa can get you stabbed in certain parts of Belgrade. So, I think a grown man has better stuff to worry about than a little hate.
Ah, looks like I broke him with my words.
You remind me of my best friend. I love you.
When people yell **** at you in class?
Oh please, it's not like your parents never insulted you. Sheesh, what's with people these days.
And how would you feel if everyone rejected you
I was rejected as a child, and I still am. I fit in with Serbians, but I pop out in another country as a "
sycho" or whatever else I've been called. You just have to get used to it.
And whoever says "Oh I have problems and I'm depressed
" you really should start looking at other countries. A lot of people that are perfectly happy with their lives lived through very difficult stuff. Saying your problems are bigger than someone elses is just plain stupid. I'm not saying I have the biggest problems on Earth, and I'm glad of it. My life isn't perfect, I've been in too much **** already, but I'm not complaining. Other's have it worse than me.[/quote]
you are my kind of person
