Dear.. whoever. I don't give a damn who reads this.
I just thought I'd express a bit of my annoyance over bullying. Bullies are cowards, let's make that clear first. After what happened in History today, I find myself ashamed to be a member of 10HE. You would think that by year 10, people would be able to show a certain amount of maturity. Bullying people is going to get you nowhere dammit! Yet it still happens, and the fact that the perpetrators can just stand around and laugh at the after-effect is just plain sickening. How can you laugh at another person's expense? How can you laugh at another human being's distress? Not only does it show a high level of malevolence, but I find it to be completely inhumane. The other thing that I also find myself resenting is the fact that other members of the class did NOTHING to help the situation. "Yeah, let's just all sit back and laugh along because it's so funny. I'm sure no one's getting hurt.. right?" WRONG. If that's what you find yourself thinking a lot, then go screw yourself. You're just another coward. How can we call ourselves friends and classmates if we can't even stand up for each other? At the end of the day, we all go home and retreat to our studying and soon forget what happened, but does anyone think about the victim? What does he/she do when they get home? Ever thought about the mental scarring that they may have copped because of the constant harassment? I find it shocking that out of a class of thirty, not ONE single person besides myself, L-Sama, Tangster & Thaista stood up to help the victim in need. Why so? Was it because the perpetrators were part of the "popular" crowd? 'Cos the only other reason I can think of is "I don't want to get involved" which is complete rubbish. "I don't want to get involved" is just another way of saying "I'm scared", which brings me to my next point. What is there to be scared of? Scared of standing up for someone who is being tortured? Or is it.. scared that the "popular people might hurt me instead.. or think I'm uncool." If that's the way you think, you may as well kick yourself in the nuts, cos if I were you, that's what I'd do. In two years, I'm going to graduate and personally, I would rather graduate with a genuine smile on my face, knowing that my six years were full of good memories and not a single regret. I would hate to graduate thinking "Why didn't I do something? I had 6 years." I don't want to keep going around in circles emphasizing my points, so I'll just end it here. Cheers. |
