Grammar isn't my Slice of Pie. Especially if its Not Pecan.
Toaster This kind of hit me a few times whenever I reflect on my horrible school life (Not as bad as I say, but the negative outweighs the positive) Are Bullies just part of the experience?
I mean, School is suppose a Safe environment were we, the Youth are suppose to learn the fundamentals of little things, that eventually turn into BIG things, and were we explore our interests, and learn to develop social skills.
But then no matter how SAFE the environment is suppose to be, almost no matter what, there is that one/group that has to make others life a living hell and try to bring them down. Either its a teacher, a staff of some kind, or our peers the students. And whats sad, is that sometimes, teachers don't do ANYTHING to help remedy the problem, and just push it under the table, bandage them up, give the guy a little talking to, and thats it.
All of this "If you have a problem, come to me." its BS. It could just be my rotton luck at the schools Ive gone to, but this is why kids have trouble asking for help, cause NOTHING is done. Nothing, until the kid either attacks a staff, or mortally wounds the kids. Or if the kid is just be BIGGEST CRYBABY EVER.
This kind of shit just ruins school or alot of people. Turns innocent people into cowards, or abusive assholes. And (Insert Phrase here)
Case and Point, is this just part of life and we have to learn to get past it?
Or are some schools just making it hard. IDK....

I remember getting bullied in school. Even though I had.done nothing wrong, I was suspended along with the bully. For the third or fourth time, I figured I'd just clobber them, since I was getting suspended anyway. That put an end to it.
And I was a super Nice guy who was PUNISHED for standing up for myself, and the Bully always got off free.
I had a Bloody nose, had my lunch money physically taken from me, just mentally demoralized, and any moment I attempted to do something, I was ignored, and penalized for being a tattletale with detention, and even almost expelled because I nearly killed a kid who finally brought me to breaking point. And the BULLY WAS THE INNOCENT ONE.
I think at that point they finally set up cameras around the school, with audio feed. But justice was still a hit & Miss
Like I said, it could just be my rotton luck with my schools. But I know these things happen elsewhere, even WITH proof that Kid D stabbed Kid A, and Kid B broke kid As knee and kicked his Jaw in.
But the kids caught on camera still get away with it.
But everything else.....I still today apparently have vivid Flashbacks.....
After the German 'middle school' I changed class 2 times and no matter where I was there were always people that bullied me - for no reason at all. I don't want to sound narcissistic, but I am really not 'ugly' or whatever, I am completly average. These people had the smallest reasons to bully me.. so I guess it's something you can't escape from. No matter on which school, there are always at least 3 assholes in class that are bored and look for victims. It's sad but I guess that already a pretty normal part of a kid's life to either be bullied or be a bully. "Eat or be eaten"
And hell, we can do nothing against it. In the end people are drowned in tears because some desperate bullied kid came with guns into class and took revenge...
I was very tempted....but the good in me would never allow it.
And frankly, some of my bullies scared me enough that I though "It not worth Kicking their asses" cause I had it in my mind they would try to save face by coming to school with a gun....
They laughed at me and told me how dumb that sounded....then one kid shows up with a Combat dagger to get back at some kid that told him "Your Mom" jokes.
