Have a freaking backbone! - General

Dude, it's fucking middle/high school. That's how it's supposed to be.

[QUOTE=alex1996arm;24765283]Did you get suspended?[/QUOTE] Strangely, no. The school I was in, didn't even care. They have rules, but they don't keep a strict eye on them. Some guy threw a lot of fart bombs. and the stink filled the entire school. It went away, and no one in the school cared who did it.

[QUOTE=sam6420;24767707]The chick who bullies him practically has a penis. It's creppy.[/QUOTE] Good, then she has a weak point.

I used to have someone annoy me like that, when I would make friends he would know and get in the way. He would quickly make them side with him instead. Thank God he's gone now.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;24768982]This thread makes me appreciate I have extremely loyal friends, even after we fist fight with each other. We are a group of five (it was at once 3, then it became 4,5, 6 , and now it's five again) and we usually manage to help each other in situations. Man, I remember this one time me, 3 of my boys, and my other boy who wanted revenge on a sort of acquaintance of one of us. Well, 3 of us were originally from the same town, which sometimes required fighting to prove disputes, and the other two moved. The other two guys were from those really white towns with all those skater kids and wannabees (yet they were nothing like that). Anyway, one of the guys who used to live in my town moved into one of those extremely white towns, but he never changed. And he sort of made friends (in the lowest way you can acknowledge someone as a friend) with some pussy ass bitch who stuck his ass in the nose of one of our boys at a water park. Being passively vindictive, my friend waited years to get revenge. Years later, we ended up in a situation where we were all together in that town with that kid. So my friend stops him while the kid tries to skate by and and punches him right in the cheekbone. Then the kids flops over to one of those yellow poles in parking lots and my boy busts him the chest again. It was incredibly funny, and our band of five stuck close, because we were behind a Wallgreens (skater kids in that town tend to hang out back there for some reason, and there were around 20-30 of them armed with skateboards, although I doubt most would use them) and a group of 30 has an obvious advantage over one with 5. Even though this kid wasn't liked very well in that area, the opposing group saw fit to try to pressure the "outsiders", outsiders being us. We didn't really have the option to fight at this point, only to move back from the alleyway towards the parking lot, which would give us a better chance. As we got closer to the front, we decided that the one who punched the kid and another one of us would go inside the Wallgreens, while the rest stayed outside to nonchalantly prevent anyone from that group from coming in. What we didn't realize is that the same kid pussied out and called the cops instead of coming after us. They were escorted out by the staff of the store, and both groups and the cops met out front. The cop went to talk to the friend who punched the kid, with the friend who lived in the town's older brother. Anyway, the cop does his regular angry rant while the two groups are stuck next to each other. I couldn't help smirking at the situation because I couldn't believe it would end like this. So I'm against a pillar, just waiting, and the kid who got punched comes up to me. Now just to stop for a second, I feel a description of his current state was necessary. He had a bruised cheek, his face was that of a someone who was crying (including some tear stains and a very red, strained face). I instantly felt like laughing because of the weird ass face he was giving me, but I realized that I should hold it in, because his ape of a dad was close enough to see my face. So the kid says to me in some begging voice, "Why did he do it?! What did I ever do to him?" I stand up, look him square in the face and say "Apparently, you had it coming." He cries out "How?!" "He said you put your ass in his face." He stiffens his posture and says "I don't remember anything like that." Both of us just idly chat about this for a few moments until my boy comes back and told to leave the premises with us. We essentially walk away scot-free and head back to one of our houses to chill. Man those were good times. Really makes me appreciate who I can trust. Holy shit, that's a big wall of text.[/QUOTE] cool story.Just a question,what does wallgreens sell?

The trick is not to be a social reject and [B]be[/B] the popular one. Stop listening to the wails of Death Metal, wash your greasy hair and get busy. [editline]11:32PM[/editline] Or you know, whatever music you listen to.

It's gets better as people begin to appreciate you for personality, and they do eventually. Trust me.

OP you're a bit younger than me, but I know where you're coming from. You have to let them know the shit doesn't fly. They're either with or against you, and if they want to side with some cunt because it's 'easier' then you need to make that choice just as 'difficult' if you get me.

I feel your pain, buddy. :frown: Everyone has some sort of experience like this. And while you may have known them for years and are afraid to lose them, the sad thing is people change... and it may be hard but you'll probably have to find new friends. But I'm sure everything will work out for you. Have fun in high school! :smile:

If I was too subtle in my original post OP, I meant next time they side with him, overlook him, and go straight for them. Bite their earlobe off or something.

And honestly, yeah, they were pretty cool. They didn't run away whenever one of their bros got in trouble, they helped him the hell out. They might not be the stereotype that many of the more unpopular kids, but trust me, they're good people once you get to know them. At least for me. Then again, I never complained about my problems on the internet. tl;dr: Complaining never solved anything, I may sound like a dick but you gotta grow your own backbone and tough it out.

People like this aren't worth having as friends. Get new ones who are actually loyal and not back stabbing ass holes.

Glad I went for the "if you fuck with me, I don't need boys behind me to fuck you up" option.

Many of the ''popular'' people actually are popular becuase they're so damn friendly and open to everybody. Find these and you've hit the jackpot, since most of the times they're great friends as well.

If someone doesn't shower, and he smells fowl as all hell, and everyone's putting pressure on him to shower, should he shower or just keep reeking? I know I might come off as an asshole, but trust me, sometimes peer pressure can be a good thing.

Personally I've only got one friend who I know would [I]definitely[/I] fight beside me, but he's a scary motherfucker and we'll both fight 'til we're burger. The other guys don't side with my opponent, but they don't like confrontation because they are pretty skinny

This is why the "poor kids" at school are normally really nice guys.

I mean, if you seriously think you have to fight a bully to get him to stop, then by all means, be my guest. But in my opinion, fighting and hating each other isn't going to stop him from talking shit, and if anything will only increase the problem. I mean, even if you do beat him, then what? All your problems will go away? It can only get worse from that point on, man.

Next time they need help from you, take a shit in their shoes and go.

I'm in a school full of middle class white kids, and I grew up my first few years in Bethnal, and to say Bethnal was rough is a massive understatement.

Thanks guys for your help,this is what I needed.I got useful info,stories,insight and it will help me through this problem.

[QUOTE=scotland1;24808064]This is why the "poor kids" at school are normally really nice guys.[/QUOTE] At my school they are just ghetto ass drug addicted losers who stab people and don't even attempt to try at school.
