WOW - Bullying at an entirely new level

[Hobbesarable]

I sometime wonder how I made it out of high school. I got the living sh-t kicked out of me on a regular basis, both mentally and physically. I basically came to the conclusion that anybody with status or power over you is going to use it more often than not. I stay away from large groups. I make sure that I plan ahead to avoid drama. And I always have an out whenever people go off.... And I would advise anybody in a weak position to do the same.

I'm sorry you had to endure that, partner. My little brother had a very similar experience going to school due to his stutter. The other kids would basically brutalize him in any way they could physically and mentally. A lifetime of defending my brother has shown me that bullying has no place in our society. He literally had no friends his age. So, he would hang out with me and my group of friends. Bullying can and will destroy a person's self esteem to the point of suicide.

I was a super dick but I don't remember picking on anyone for something like a stutter. Thank goodness.

I am more philosophical about it. School when I was growing up were a cultural construction to produce acceptable products for a dystopian society. Any physical or mental shortcomings are going to come out at some point. And the mob are going to haze you, regardless. Now schools just a relentless meat grinder where the even the victims are viewed as agressors the moment they fight back. We live in a terrible, chaotic and vicious society. High school is just a mirror of that dysfunction.

My friends and I were on positive terms with the Mexican wannabee gangsters at my school, so I never got messed with. There's a lesson for today's kids, hang out with gang members and you'll be safe.

There was some 22 year old guy in the army that knocked up one of my friends when she was 16 that showed up at the school one day and beat the shit out of one of my other friends in the parking lot though, that was really weird.

Fucking A meant affirmative. As in hell yes.
