Judgements.
One of the reasons that bullying is such a big deal is because people take one look at you and give you a name that isn't even you.
Judgements are made everyday and it seperates the people who need help from those who can help.
For instance, I have a great outlook on life, and my friends always come to me for advice, but when it comes to trying to help others.; I get pushed away.
Only because I'm the girl no one should talk to because I'm shy, and boring.
What they don't know is that people who listen to every detail, observe more and have a greater outlook on life.
So, people will look at you, call you names, give you dirty looks in the hall, but it only shows how shallow they are.
Violence, also everywhere. Whether you see it or not. My mom and grandma both experience domestic violence when they were younger. It isn't the greatest thing to see, when your brother comes home high and starts hitting and throwing things, or to put all your trust in your husband, not knowing his other side.
Shouldn't there be some way for these kinds of people to understand that they need help? That they are hurting the ones that they "love?"
I don't know where this forum was going, and I'm sorry if I didn't make my point clear enough.
Judgements take big parts in Bullying in Violence because people can take one look at you, and assume you're as vulnerable as you look.
Comment as you please, but I think I've made a very sturdy point.
I understand completely. I feel like people take one look at me and see that same quiet girl from kindergarden who doesn't know how to have a good time. But when you really take the time to truly get to know me, Im this crazy, random girl. I used to be really nice, infact i was a huge pushover. And once i got to 7th grade i started standing up for myself. I was humiliated in the 6th grade! All because I didnt want to date this boy! He made people make fun of me, and the sad part was that I turned him down politly. I truly wasnt intreseted in dating at 11yrs old. But anyways, people are going to judge. All anyone can really do is prove their judgements wrong! and never change your self!
wats good i no what you mean people look at me as a teen example of what you should not be. But what they juge is the first thing they see, like i have tattoos but they only express the ways i feel. But they take one look and juge me as no good or a low life thug. So yeah people love juging a book by its cover. and they never take the time to, get to know who there bring down; in other words juging a book without reading the story first. But when someone does that to you just walk away. Or just tell them that they shouldent be so quick to juge someone without noing who there juging because they dont know nothing about who there speaking of.
i understand completley. i went through that at school. i had been involved with the wrong people. i made them mad and so they told lies to everyone they could think of including my friends. i entered intermediate school being popular into leaving with only a couple of friends. now that im in highschool things have gotten better but those people that are there that believed those lies still try to get people to look down on me. they still judge me and call me names but i keep my head held high. wat doesnt kill us will only make us stronger right? that experience taught me to be strong. and even they judge me without knowing me its ok. ive realized its their problem not mine. and the people who have stayed by my side are my real friends and as long as i got thme im content. it would have been nice though to have more then 10 friends =/ because when i graduate ill see the people who hurt me (the main bully too) with all their friends and i most likley will be alone.
I agree with Aussychick14. Im a really fun person with big ambitions. But i've always been the 'quiet girl that you can cheat off of on the test'. With all these popular people needing reassurance of their 'awesome-ness'(yeah right) and all these new trends that if you dont follow them no one will like you type things are getting on my last nerve. DONT LISTEN TOO THEM! THEY JUST HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS (BECAUSE THEY DONT DO HOMEWORK) AND THEY REALIZE THAT THEY DONT HAVE A REAL LIFE! Just laugh at them whenever they insult you and think: hmmm? were you up until 1:00 in the morning-the time you were supposed to be doing your homework- trying to think of mean enough names for me? Msn:broadwaylovesme@hotmail.com. Maybe we could start a bullying awareness website so kids know that there are people out there to help them.
