It saddens me to see how our society treats each other. To see how much harm can be brought upon innocent people. Rumors which are usually false leading to harmful conditions and situations to these benign people.These "bullies" crave attention, confidence and the false sense of being "better". People are so selfish that they hurt others to make themselves happy...I mean really, come on. After 3 horrendous years at Cabrillo Middle School + freshman year at FTHS of senseless name calling and bullying, I still cant figure out what fuels this act of meanness. After being called names such as faggot, queer, pussy, gay, emo and bitch, its really quite humorous because how irrelevant their vocabulary is. Faggot is your best comeback.....really.....maybe you need to read a dictionary or brush up on your English.

Sorry i'm a listener instead of a loud obnoxious attention seeker. How do your friends view you, "Yeah Bob is so cool, he makes fun of people and bullies kids because he needs fake confidence." On your college application under hobbies and experiences it will probably be something along the lines of Certified Douche-bag, Professional Name Caller, and Self-centered Fool. Being in the non-existent upper class of school means nothing in reality. It is just horrifying seeing how there are endless amounts of bullying across the nation with lack of teacher interaction and only the bullied kids caring.

This isn't just some people, but about 3/4 of people I have asked about this topic say they don't care or haven't experienced it. These people are almost a part of it, they are siding with the bullied because of their lack of actions.Sorry if this is sort of a rant, but after experiencing such things for most of my life, something has to be said. Stop being so damn selfish and stop your friends, yourself or anyone who acts like this, it will make a huge impact on others.This may have never effected you (lucky), but maybe just put some consideration of thought when next time you are angered and ready to take advantage of someone....

....THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.
