Quote from Hanna;1037893:
Josh believes bullying is a first world problem, and shouldn't be taken seriously.
It made me furious because I was bullied relentlessly as a child, and to tell me what I went through wasn't real..?
Suicidal kids are not pussies, they don't need to suck it up.
They shouldn't be expected to just deal with the hatefulness of the result of failed parenting, children who I consider little mistakes that I wish would fall ill and just die.
Bullying isn't a character building exercise, it's not just a part of life.
It's unnecessary and brutal, it causes irreversible emotional damage that can never be bandaged.
Sticks and stones may break bones, but bones heal.. emotional damage does not.
Emily is currently being bullied in school, and I want to kill every little one of those fuckers.
Put them into a choke hold and scream " I WON'T LET YOU DO TO HER WHAT THEY DID TO ME"
I was so angry and hurt as a child, I have numerous mental illnesses that have stemmed from the bullying I endured, and I will suffer from these for the rest. of. my. life.
People who try to justify bullying make me want to go out and try to justify bashing their skull into the fucking pavement.
Being bullied gave me a different outlook on life, i am a complete pacifist, although "bullied" meant more like teasing, i reacted incredibly violently as a kid, i learned from all of those mistakes in my life, and the emotional damage was caused by other factors, so in turn, i adopted the "turn the other cheek" methodology. Sure, i get taken advantage a lot, but i feel a hell of a lot better, because when i snap, i give the absolute best "the reason you suck speech" and it makes ANYONE feel bad for all of their misdeeds, and that in turn, is the best punishment.
Guilt. Powerful emotion that can wreck you for days, weeks, even months, at least after then, a lesson will be learned.
That is my strategy on life, and it has served me well.
And as the video, it really confused me, as i have already heard this time after time. I was not particularly fond of childhood memories. So i will not elaborate.
However, a little insight on who i am for those ever slightly curious.
On that "pecking order", i was a "jester", throwing out helpful bits of info to all areas of the pecking order, i was told by my teachers who actually took the time to get to know me, that i was most likely to succeed in my life if things kept at a constant, unfortunately, that constant vaporized. And by the time i went to college, motivation died.
