This why you don't want to step outside anymore. Honestly yes. Between the 3 hours I waste between coming and going to uni, the stress of the crowded trains/buses which is uncomfortable and also makes getting sick even easier(and I'm one who easily gets sick by herself too), bullies at class and occasionally meeting weird and unpleasant people...I just wanna stay home forever and never leave anymore. That's how I am. Forever at home.

Have none of you guys even heard of frats? Most of them are just collections of bullies lol.

I don't remember having to deal with bullies my first time through university. Goes back in my 30's, I haven't really noticed any bullying, either. I might just be lucky, or they're just not stupid enough to mess with an old guy.

I never noticed any bullying, everyone seemed to get along with everyone no matter what their interests were. Even playing games was something everyone did, most of the sporty guys played a lot of WoW or just new games in general
Obviously not saying there's no bullying, just that I didn't notice any. They've had some news stories about it recently and it brings up the issue of bullying over social media with some examples where people talk about their experiences.

No one bullied me in high school because they thought I was crazy. :) I got bullied a lot in school due to my size. It effected me so much that I would bully my twin brother. Now that I'm older and a bit bigger I regret taking out on my twin. I know I effected him and it stuck to him now that he is older, but now I tell him I love him and stuff and I'm glad/hopeful that he can stay positive!

I think our organization 'friends' helps a bit but obviously can't stop it all
Really shitty things do still happen and the schools need to get better at seeing it (parents too and I think social media should take some responsibility when the person is underage)

Oh yeah kids made fun of me when I was <12 but I kicked their *** so they stopped, it also didn't happen when we changed schools at 13 (it's like going from middle school to high school, mine didn't offer higher than grade 6 so had to switch). Seems like they grew up a bit.

So I was playing Terraria and went afk for a while and came back to this. My 3 year old son said to me "There were monsters in your house." These screenshots were taken after I'd already done a lot of repairs. Apparently a Blood Moon occurred and he decided to try to fight them off with all the sticky bombs I had in my inventory...

In high school I was the kid everyone thought was insane and would kill them all at any time. I would get random people that would come up to me and ask if I was okay. Didn't exactly help that in middle school I got accused of planning a Columbine either. Fun times!
Btw it was false .... ish. I mean who doesn't imagine murdering a bunch of idiots every now and then?!

Maybe bullies isn't the right word, more like annoying people who harass me. It's not as bad as it was in highschool, I don't want to go into details about that but they made me suffer some rough stuff that signed me for life.
I was just hanging out with this group from my class, trying to blend in despite my usual hurdles with social interactions, until this girl(who was then followed up by her buddies)started harassing me cause to her I'm too quiet and that's absolutely unacceptable and should be punished. After a while of this I've decided to just distance myself so now I'm always alone again...and they started calling me Elsa.
Nonetheless getting targeted is never fun, and now that I think about it, it started out tame in hs too..

He was also well dressed. There's an italian saying that goes "A dress the monk does not make"(basically don't judge the book from its cover). This deeply saddens me.

Sorry, couldn't help but think of:

Nonetheless getting targeted is never fun, and now that I think about it, it started out tame in hs too.. Did you ever try to "fight back" if you felt targeted? I understand that it can be difficult, and it might negatively impact your attempts at blending in, but sometimes you want people to "cut the crap" so to speak.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
