I threw this onto a topic in the ED about bullying and it kinda sums me up a lil and also life in a broad aspect. The topic basicaly asked for my opinion on bullies andweather they effect people deeply or not. Here was my reply...

Well I'm 19 now, from the UK so I left school at 16. In school though I kind of seemed to fit in with just about every group in school, from the slightly nerdy computer loving people, up to the drug taking 'gangsta' groups. I don't quite to this day know how, but it's like I had an arsenal of faces, dialects and basicaly characters that I'd use with each group, I could swich between reading C++ and tagging a wall in a second. whilst this was happening I'd be on both the side of being the bullies, and the bullied, though never realy included myself with neither, always being able to talk my way easily out of situations, though I learned much just from observing.
I believe that no matter what happens in schools, bullying will never end, as if it did it would symbolise an equality in life that is non-existent, such as the majority of the bullied in schools are because of their knowledge. It is then those that go to college whilst the bullies get dead end jobs. This is a way of life that will not stop as far as I can see. Bullying/ peer preasure effected bullies are just annother test that we must all undergo in life. Like most of lifes tests it is character building, so regardless of weather the bullies know that they are effecting their victims deeply or just being an annoyance to them bullying is just a factor of life. Just like the status in work (ie. having a great job, sporty car and huge house as opposed to scraping in money from a low end job and renting a 2 bed appartment for a family of four) this is just annother system in life where dominance is shown, people are tested and characters are built in people.


And thats about it, just thought I'd give who ever reads this some insight into me, who I used to be and what I see in the world. Rather than seeing individual people with individual problems I like to look at a broader picture, look back over time, judge things against what I have witnessed in life... so on so on.
Thats me though, I'll post sommet a lil more helpful at some point ^^
