POV: High School Drama - Was what I did right?

[DoctorWhofan]

Pfft...you get real........if you stop it at the $160 in high school then you stop it on a smaller scale. If you let it go you may be in for far worse.

Sorry..it's not the way of nature...it's the way of ignorance.

You do not have to be a bully to be strong and survive......but it does require you to be a moron.

When there is a cancer you destroy the cancer not the whole thing...unfortunately humans in and of themselves are the cancer.

They had there chances and have proven one thing and one thing alone....they excel at eff'ing up. If you want to think like an ignorant primate go ahead....I personally think humans devolved from something far more superior out of boredom than evolved into something superior from what was inferior.

Basically noone in this world has a right to even talk to, know, or approach you let alone bully you...people like this deserve the harshest possible punishment possible...and so do the people that feed them by not doing anything....all you do is make the people in this world that don't have their heads up their wazoo's lives harder...and quite frankly I don't think any of us want to deal with it. It's a waste of everyone's time and resources.

Take ignorance like this and throw them in cages where they belong...which btw.......the public school system is not far off from being.

Agreed and adding baby gorrillas are small and cute, and make little messes that are "ok". But they become 500 lbs and now beating the snuff out of your son and now you want to correct the problem?

I wish we could take all these people walking around with weapons who think they need to be all hard core and drop them off in the middle of the Congo for a month. After that, they get a grand tour of Shengdong province for another month. After showing them what the real hard life is all about, they will beg to come back to America and live in one of our ghettos. Think it all looks the same? We drop you off in the DMZ for a minute. Tell my people on the streets I said wuz-aapnin!

Add in some Mogadishu, Port-Au-Prince, and anywhere in Columbia just for grins. There are lots of nice places where their "Thugness" would be laughed at.

A guy I know was shot six times for not giving up his I-Pod (he lived). It's a real issue. People are getting killed for having white ear buds in their ears in the wrong neighborhood.

Addendum to my earlier post: If you live in the hood disregard my post. However, if you live in the hood I doubt you would be asking the initial question.

[Zion_Halcyon]

Hmm, no updates?

Anyway, glad the Dad was involved. Seriously, as I was reading this, I was shaking my head muttering "Stop being so stupid about this! A kid broke the law and stole something from you, and he probably wants to steal your receipt to say he "bought" it! Stop being so **** gullible and a push-over!"

Glad the dad put some courage in ya to do the right thing and go to the officials. This isn't high school drama - this is some bully trying to carve out his territory. Drama is some girl whining about some guy who doesn't want to be with her, to some other guy who would be perfect for her, but she isn't interested because he would treat her nice and she's too emotionally screwed up to be able to deal with that. THAT'S typical high school drama, NOT what the OP reported. What the OP said is a CRIME.

Sheesh.

*steps down off the bully pulpit*

Would really love an update...

1. Never ever let anyone get to you, if you don´t stand up for your self you´ll be a easy target and people will know it.
2. I think 163$ is woth taking a hit for so you should´ve kicked his arse (or tried to when he stepped up)- and not given him the **** ipod.
3. When i was in school there were never any robberys. Bullys yes but no robbing.

God I feel like such an idiot not reporting him the SAME day....

I just never had this situation when my item gets taken in public site...

You should, and learn from your misstake.

[vVAnjilaVv]

This is truly mental! I love it my favourite post since arriving from European shores..... +1!

So are you a halfling, dwarf, elf or Warforged?!

All of the above of course silly.

Honestly I consider myself part of a lifeforce...IMO...human beings are nothing but a bunch of snooty, egotistical, over-arrogant fools who mistakenly think they are the chosen species.....

yet you kill each other, ra** each other, carry disease and viruses like dogs because you neglect your health and fix it with your erroneous technology which further weakens the breed. Sure, humans are capable of great things....they are also capable of great atrocities that puts them far lower than a slugworm on the species list.

And don't get me started on how long they get to live....pffft...I would rather die young and pure than old and corrupt.

And I highly doubt a gorilla will ever come close to being as evil as a human being.

I hear you Chai. I would rather, if somehow you could, just inject 5 minutes of perspective and education into the thugs. They would instantly see that THEY are their own enemy, not the cops not the other gang.
Don't get me wrong, there are some places where I live that would shock you with how bombed out and blighted they are but that's no excuse. Like you said, go to Congo and sip on that for a moment.
Maybe my advice goes too far, but my buddy getting shot down like that was an eye-opener. There can be no half-measures in my book because people are capable of surprising and brutal behavior. Loss of freedom and future means something to all but the craziest people, which are much rarer then a 'thug'. School suspension means nothing. They probably are not going to graduate anyway.
The 'snitch' thing burns my blood. We had a thing a while back where even middle aged people were wearing shirts with a stop sign that said 'stop snitching' on them. I wanted to slap everyone wearing one. I was barely able to stop myself from approaching, seemingly reputable, stores and commenting on their choice to sell shirts that celebrate witness murder and intimidation.
I say snitch away. Snitch loud. Snitch often.

[vVAnjilaVv]

Oh, the irony of this statement.

sorry...I am not being any of the above....just defending myself from a race that does nothing but hurts each other and then defends such actions by saying it's normal and part of life.......nope...not buying into that at all.

Ever see the movie Armageddon....IT ENDED THE WRONG WAY!

You know what...my life is too beautiful to even be bothered with this cr**.......just take all these people, put them in the cesspool they belong in and let them rot........I'm sure they will make good fertilizer. This goes for the people who want to "correct" them too...because quite honestly...they are just the other side of the same coin.

I don't even know why I waste my time in threads like this......I admit.......and it sure is not worth discussing.....doggies chasing their tails.

While there's absoutely nothing funny about bullying, that part made me chuckle a little.



I was gonna mention martial arts training as Kist mentioned. It's not necessarily about just kicking arse, but you also learn self-assurance. The way you carry yourself helps avoid some situations from ever happening. Bully's can read people, and it goes back to that part about them looking for weak targets.

Yeap, a good smirk when he threatens you will usually cause him not to attack you, and likely you can walk away without giving up your goods. No need to talk sheist, as this is what weaklings do to put up a front. Just smirk at him like youre annoyed. A good Qin-Na wrist lock also goes a long way. He can be 6 '7 " and 300 lbs and still go straight to the ground. Here's my iPod, [whump] "ow let go of my wrist" - The more he struggles, the more it hurts. No perminent damage happens.

If you look like a wolf and carry yourself like a wolf, the other dogs will assume you're a wolf.

It's actually a sad statement really. First off that you hold yourself above others, and second, there is always good to be found,no matter where you look. I can't speak for where you have been, but if you have seen some of the things I have, you might not be quite so bitter.

GOOD IDEA.......wait for me!!!!

It's true.......I will love the tree in my front yard more than I will ever love another being.

The tree gives me breath........while a person many times tries to take it away.

I am completely on board with this. My cat definately considers itself a Human Being in a cat suit.

Yeah, when a wolf looks like a wolf and smells like a sheep, sometimes it has to prove its a wolf, and gets help from other members of the pack. Or as I outlined in my other post about dropping people who think they are hard core off in the Congo for a little vacation, you could show the pup what a real dog eat dog world looks like heh.

Or he can go the route of "the pen is mightier then the sword" and get the cops involved. They love this kind of stuff, and its usually a field day for them.

Way too absolutist. I prefer to reserve that kind of judgement for the individuals that require it. Actually the majority of the human race is fine. The issue is that 2% of the population has 80% of the wealth, and wealth = power to screw people over for more wealth. The rest of us are all in the same boat just living our lives trying to do the best we can with what we are given and taking advantage of opportunities when they arrise.
