From A Different World - Forums

On a side note.. I would like to add that I am a VERY good listener. And if anyone needs to talk to me about anything or just wants to vent or needs a punching bag, I am always avaliable. C: I have a tender heart for broken souls and do my best to make the world a better place one smile at a time.

Ok... I guess it's time I posted in here.

My parents divorced when I was 1.
I have a photographic memory that only works with thing's I can read, or see up close and study for a few seconds.
My girlfriend lives 10 hours away. My best friend lives over 3000 miles away.
I met my girlfriend on Facebook.
I cannot smell almost anything, unless it's either right under my nose or my brain makes me think it. (Today in yearbook I smelled Tacos all hours.)
I'm a bibliophile (I LOVE to read.)
Once, when I was grounded. I had to read either the bible or the dictionary, and I read them both. (Only half the dictionary a-d)
I am what people call "Jack of all trades master of none".
I'm extremely good at listening, and helping with people problems.
I am studying to be a psychologist because of my personal experiences.
I can set my mind to something, then only half finish it. Major downfall of mine.

That's all I can think of for now.

Mics, I have the same memory as you, I just never knew how to explain it, so thank you!


And soul, don't be worried. I was bullied in middle school, but I actually got into a fight with the main bully, beat him, and the others left me alone. DONT TRY THIS. But now I'm actually friends with most the kids I thought were my biggest enemies... So you never know...

I did most of the bullying when I was in Jr. High. I sort of told Deth a few stories about it. It was nothing intense. It was mostly whispering homo-erotic things into people's ears, shutting their locker as soon as they enter the combination and open it, and flipping people's binders. I also did a few things along the lines of hiding people's things in the toilet, and calling them the wrong name (Jon, Steve, Billy) We ran a system sort of the same as Dazed and Confused. If you're a 9th grader, you got to pick on the 7th graders. And when the 7th graders became 9th, they did the same. It was never anything insanely mean, like beating people up for no reason, but I never had the problem of being bullied. If someone had a problem with me I would get in their face about it. I was never taught how to stand up for myself, I just did it. I've been into more than enough fights when I was in Jr. High, including slamming a kid's face into a locker for throwing something at me, and multiple counts of fist fighting. I've lost fights, as well as won them. Winning them gives you the respect of the adolescents, and losing them loses the respect. But, getting my butt kicked taught me not to mouth off as much as I did. I went to an alternative school for my entire high school career and absolutely loved it. Got into only one fight the entire time I was there. And it ended up being me attacking some kid, but that doesn't matter He deserved it. But I shaped up quite well, and I learned a great deal there. What I was in High School is what I am now. Fat, lazy and full of friendship.

The trick to defeating a bully is to confront them. Stand up for yourself. The worse thing to do is to ignore it, or let it go. They'll just keep doing it. School fights last 2 seconds and then are broken up almost immediately. Hopefully it never has to go to that, but that's how it is. I know it sounds cliche that I'm telling the victims to stand up for themselves because that's what everyone says, but from a bully's point a view...if someone stood up for themselves, I would normally leave them alone.
