i heard about the constant suicides of the kids that are bullied. i have a few things to say.
I was bullied in elementary school ( cure of ares and St. Cecilia) and all through high school (Glen Este and Scarlet oaks) so i can relate to those kids. but in all honesty, i didn't have to commit suicide because i knew in my heart what was true and what wasn't true about me. the bullies in our lives are a learning experience. ok, you're being bullied and it's dragging you down. How are you going to over come it? suicide is the easiest but the least beneficial way of over coming it and learning from the experience. we are here on Earth to learn certain things from patience, to discipline, to one of the virtues that God gave us. The people in our lives we chose before we entered this incarnation. bullies are a common occurrence in everyone's life. If you do not conform to their standards then you are bullied into submission. I was called everything in the book. yes, i was called a gaywod, fag, stupid faggot, you name it. but i know i am straight. they drag and tear you down even mentally and not just physically. i was also told i should be shot, i should kill myself, because i was different from the pack. I shy away from stuff that others like. for example: if bully joey jimbob says that coogi googi goo was the hottest thing since sex, i will go with starter shoes, T-shirt and a pair of jeans. when they start bullying me into getting their "style" i told them to Back off.
although the bullying was horrendous,but i had an edge; I took martial arts all through it and know that i could mutilate those bastards anytime any day of the week should they have laid a finger on me. It boosted my confidence in me, and taught me that bullies just want attention and will drag you to hell to get what they want. I am one of those kinda guys that will make friends of my enemies and enemies out of friends.
but what i wanna say was i have been bullied by those who think they are all that and a bag of chips. every one will encounter a bully in one time or another or are currently being bullied as we speak. my questions to the bulliee are 1 do you know what's true about you? and How do you plan to overcome this bully or bullies? and what will you have learned from the experience WITHOUT COMMITTING SUICIDE?
and my message to the bullies out there is this. watch your back because this will come back and bite you on the ass.
in other words, whatch who's ass you kick because that might be the ass you kiss in the future. this may not make sense now, but if you bullied a geek that is now your boss, or potential boss, he/she might remember that day in high school when you picked on him/her, that swirly, that rumor you spread about her. so who's really on top? is it worth it to bully someone you dont know? all i will say to the bullies is: expect the unexpected.
One last word to the wise, just be yourself and don't let anyone tell you what you need or ought to do. YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND DON'T THEM NAG YOU ON IT!!!!. It's ok you be yourself but we as a society are under the impression that being youself will get you ridiculed, publicly humiliated, bashed by the mass media, and so on and so forth. I consider myself a geek and a scy-fi fan I love it; every bit of it; I also like designing new ideas that can help not only those in need but also friendlier to the environment. call me a geek you say it smells like loser, i say it smells like a future billionaire if i play my cards right.
