That is a good one.. Violence is not the answer, they are not worth it

The people in my school can be right bitches and dicks..Typical teens i guess but, some are just horrible and nasty

I've been dealing with bullies since first grade all the way to ninth grade. It doesn't get easy for you when it seems that everyone's mission is to spread rumors about you, lower your self-esteem and call you out on every mistake you made. But that eight years of verbal abuse has taught me a very valuable lesson about bullies and that's you have to be comfortable in your own skin. Let me tell you, playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, one of my favorite hobbies a couple years ago, OUT IN THE OPEN during lunch time, where everyone could see you, was just an invitation for jocks to hassle us and for a while, they did but I went through that stone-faced, not once being etched with a glimmer of self-doubt, fear or worry. Once people started catching on that I didn't give a flying fuck what they had to say, I was pretty much left alone. That or they just got sick of doing the same old thing and moved on to someone else but the end result is still the same.

Yes i agree but, i have to do alot in school and that makes me mix with alot of people i really dislike....
Yes i agree with the net bit.. Take it on the chin and just try your best to not get annoyed..I act like i am easily pissed but, i don't take it too heart lol

I can see where you are coming from, but I guess it's different for me in the business world. For me, I don't have to get along with everyone; I just have to excel at my job. My status between me and "Mark" is irrelevant so long as when we're paired together that our work outshines those opposing us. Being the responsible adult means putting my differences aside, even if I think Mark is a complete sexist, long enough to accomplish my goal before moving onto the next task given...

If you really are required to be that socially cordial with all others around you, then my heart goes out to you; people are too fucking stupid for me to like the majority of them so I can't imagine what I'd do if stuck in the same situation.

Sorry K2 but when I read that I thought you meant that you were in 9th grade for 8 years... I had to re-read it a few times to get what you were saying lol

I had bullying problems from P4-6 and i realized they were just people that were pissed because i did well..
Then when you have a slightly higher intelligence than the other people in your class once you reach Year 8... You are a prime target ..Some people dislike me because i do well.. I am not being big headed..
Yes they do and when you prove them wrong by not being affected anymore, they stop but, they will still have snide comments but, they are just pathetic themselves

I got a good chuckle out of that. Thanks for the laughs.

I hate sexist people.. When you are in a business environment it must be hard
It is just people need a slap in the face, you are not smart, you are not pretty, you are nothing more than a pathetic, worthless, drama queen/kings, that think you are better than everyone

In my opinion, bullies are like fishermen. They cannot wait to see how many fishes they get to reel in with their new bait and brag about their haul to their poker playing buddies before Friday night. They'll sit their, perched upon a rock, cast their lines and wait, hoping that their efforts don't got to waste. For the fishes, if there's anything that Dory from Finding Nemo has taught us, it's to just keep swimming. Disregard them, ignore them and eventually, when all the mounting pressure of failure and disappointment is too much for them, they'll have to reflect on how much time they've wasted on their endeavors and trundle on home with an empty cooler.

Ouch man, that's a hard one. I've been a smoker for going on 12 years now and I am at the point where I need to quit as well; If not for my own health, at least for my kids. "They say" that the second hand smoke that you carry on your clothes can help assist them in getting respiratory infections, which my kids have been getting a lot as of late.



You would not believe how much this simple act will help you in your love life. Getting rid of the porn helps you to have a healthy connection with your mate that is outside of a strictly sexual craving standpoint. Porn with males has the effect of either causing sex with your mate to stop/become less than because it's never what you see on the screen, or it makes your expectations of what your mate should be willing to do unhealthy in that you expect them to act like people who are getting paid to do those acts you watch. Once I knocked out consistent porn viewing, I was able to understand and appreciate what a healthy relationship was supposed to be.

Well the reason I'm doing it is because...I feel bad whenever I do. I feel like I'm cheating on my girlfriend and I don't want to do that. So I'm going to do my best to kick the habit.
