Well… fuck you too society. Fuck you too.
Everyone ever was bullied. It has nothing to do with society. HUMANS like putting each other down specifically to make themselves feel better. It’s inherent, and I bet most of you have bullied someone without even noticing it. Our generation is arguably the least bullying out of every one that’s come before it.
I remember reading a statistic a while ago that said that 80% of gay students were bullied, and I felt like spitting imaginary coffee all over the table that such a wonderful place existed where only 80% of a minority was teased when everywhere else I’ve ever been 100% of everybody goes through shit.
The important thing here is to focus on what TYPE of bullying. Bring awareness on what sorts of things will fuck someone up for life… What sorts of things will hurt a child beyond repair, and what sort of stuff is just teaching us how to have thicker skin than all that. You need to be alright with hearing negative comments, that’s part of what makes you a well adjusted adult. The word “Bully” to too vague. “She pushed me.” “She told me I was fat.” That’s shit you can deal with. Just don’t be friends with that person.
Shoving someone down stairs? Not so great. Chasing someone making animal noises whilst calling them a fat pig? Not so great.
I dunno, maybe I’m wrong, I just find a bunch of people being proud to be victims of something screams of self ingratiating pats on the back.
It’s good when people who have been raped or gone through severe trauma talk out, because it’s astounding how few people are aware of the prevalence of these issues, and the effects they have on our lives…
But when hundreds of thousands of people are adding a little tic to their dash to make people feel sorry for them for something that could of been anywhere from being told once that you’re ugly, to being held out of a third story window by a group of jeering little shits.
Well, it’s bitchy as fuck of me to say any of that, but I still want to post it. =\ It’s an honest opinion though people will likely be pissed at me for sharing. Whatever it’s my dash.
The point of this sort of shit is to a) point out that it's a widespread problem, and b) show the people who’re going through it right now that they aren’t alone or unusual in being victimised.
Bullying is a form of abuse and like most abuse is a pattern of behaviour. "Someone was mean to me one time because they don’t like me very much" isn’t bullying, and I’ve never seen ANYONE say that it is but you.
Also can we not play the “REAL trauma” game because it isn’t helpful to anyone.
