There are fucking people born without legs, blind and deaf people that can be happy with their lives, but someone kills themselves because others labeled them a slut and they are given the "woe is them" effect by the world. Kids who have been forced into war, and watched their entire family die, and overcome to become positive members of society, and then kids who kill themselves because they were called a "faggot". We are glorifying such a minor issue. Its fucking first world problems at its finest. Who in our generation was bullied at some point? All of us? Probably. Its a scapegoat for a weaker, more entitled generation.

Exactly, simply put you are not allowed to make fun of the next person because they take it too personally and may kill themselves. :ahwow:

Being made fun of is bad? God forbid what it was like to be physically and emotionally harmed because you weren't white 100 years ago :badpokerface:

I don't agree that she 'couldn't stand herself'. I think it was more she couldn't stand the taunting anymore....

With your double standard comment. You might want to take a look at who was bullying her. When 1 guy has a problem with another, they fight. When 1 girl has a problem with another girl, she makes the girls life HELL.

So you are saying guys never bully?

Guys are beyond bad when it comes to bullying. I've been bullied my whole life and still get it and I'm 30. I think it's some people have the ability to deal with it better then others.

Bullies prey on vulnerable people who don't defend themselves.

guys are bad, but i think it's more physical and acting tough.

girls i think can be way more mean & catty and psychological. i think in that sense more damage is done.

i'd rather have someone beat me up than fuck with my head

bullying happens at all ages and i disagree a bit because guys can be so much more meta on 'victims' . naturally and biologically, guys are smarter and better at planning strategies and what not so victimizing could be worse.

even at the age of early to mid 20s, i see guys using 'weaker' people. at the older age, its usually resorts to physical as a one-off instance and usually results in both parties becoming strangers. whereas continuous 'bullying' would occur through non-physical actions.

Everyone has different levels of ability to "deal with it" when it comes to bullying. Some people are stronger and some people not so much, but everyone has a break point.

That isn't always the case.

These are just simple examples of bullying. As for the comment about being bullied because "you stick out like a sore thumb" well that too is a simple example of bullying.

There is no definate answer to what will get you bullied. Some people are born assholes and some people are born jerks. They prey on anyone that isn't themselves for any reason that they deem fit.

Some do it to hide their own issues.

Some do it because it is "funny" and they are "bored"

Some people do it cause at their age group they are bigger and taller than everyone else and use this "gift" to benefit.

I remember grade 8 phys ed. I wore a baseball cap and a group of kids thought it would be funny to take my hat and play keep away.
I told them to keep it and walked away.
They were all :fulloffuck: and them moved on to find someone else to bully.

Hormones are running overtime and messing with your emotions and ability to make reasoned decisions. I do realize that kids need to eventually learn that the world is, unfortunately, a cruel place and to be wary of who you trust, but still...

I still dislike the fact that there's a double standard when it comes to people sleeping with people. A guy sleeps with four cheerleaders at once and he's hailed as a hero by the school. A girl sleeps with four jocks and she's villianised as a slut. I genuinely don't understand where the discrepency between the two originated. Girls are just as hungry for sex as guys; it's simply that girls tend to have better control over it, especially once they realize they tend to hold the power. :lol

Frankly, so long as you wrap your shit, I could care less how many people someone sleeps with.

Oh... and kids these days need a good smack on their heads.

This is all bullshit.....everyone jumps around yelling, "Do you!", "YOLO", "Don't care what anyone else thinks", "Be Yourself", etc....but once someone does, they are bullied for it.

I am not saying that sleeping with a bunch of guys is a great choice to make health-wise, morally, ethically, mentally, etc....but I do not think it is a "reason" to bully her.

The thing that irks me the most is that it is a total double fucking standard! What about these guys!? Why is it the girls that get shit on? Guys will stand around and high-5 each other for 'fucking her' and the girl will get bullied, called a slut, bitch, whore, dirty, etc. Really think about that. Why is it ok? Nobody says anything about these 4 dudes hanging around with their dicks all out with each other!.

Why is it ok to bully someone when we can find a reason? Poor, slut, bad clothes, fat, skinny, big nose, bad hair, etc....

Would this be the same is she wore ugly pants to school?

"Well, what do you expect? We all knew those pants were ugly but she kept wearing them. She should have known better that when you wear ugly pants you will get bullied. Its her fault. She made the decision and knew the consequences."

Its all the same thing.

because history. ever since it could be recorded, society has been male dominant and even now. though this generation is changing, i dont think it can change too much too fast considering how long this way of thinking has been true.
