Bullying Discussion

I was only bullied once for a week. I didn't care so much what they said to me about me, its when they brought my sister(who was not there to defend herself) into it that I snapped. It was the beginning of the school year at a newish school. By that I mean the middle school down the road. The moment those kids started calling my sister and I foul names I pulled out my scissors and told them I would stab them if they didn't stop. Needless to say, I got detention. They left me alone after that though.

So, I think anti-bullying campaigns will not help. We had a woman that was bullied come to the school and talk about what she went through. Did it stop bullying in that school? Probably not. I doubt half the people that went to that remember anything about it. Children need to learn that harming others physically and mentally is not an acceptable way to vent anger. It doesn't matter whats going on at home, in order to believe that our fellow man is mostly good, we and they need to understand this. I don't know if this is still the standard, but its what I recall, most children over the age of 7 have a complete understanding of what is right and what is wrong. We teach our children to be "nice" at a young age. Right now, my niece is in her hitting phase. She isn't two yet. My sister and her husband are teaching her it is wrong. So clearly, anything anti-bullying should start from home.

I think I am rabbling now. I do that when its... early. I probably shouldn't be typing since this cursed thing hates buttons. Also, sorry for any typos, my typing abilities dramatically decrease at 2 in the morning.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

People miss a lot of things I say.

It does say could. I also said it was a lie. I would be dead too, along with a good number of other people. Whoever wrote the article I read was an idiot.

I know I use gaming a lot to escape real life. I've been trying to get out of that shell but it is hard...

Well, they said just listening to the music is connected to suicide, the gaming itself not so much. Its all lies though. Listening to game sound tracks lifts my spirits. Maybe I listen to the good ones. I recommend that everyone play and listen to the music of The Legend of Dragoon. Best game ever created. Country music, yeah, I can see it. Most songs are about love lost and other depressing things. I do like the songs about cheating men though. They are funny.

On another note, I find playing Call of Duty and listening to people complaining to be hilarious. People ask me why I laugh when I get killed in multiplayer, I tell them its better to laugh at your failures than to become angry with them. That and it was funny. They thought I was weird.
Apparently the device I'm on doesn't like buttons.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

Was Overwatch calling me an asshole? I was stating nothing more than he did. My opinion. I find his use of language to be uncalled for. As for a reply, think about what you've said. You are telling people who struggle with the decision of whether or not to commit suicide that you do not care for them. That is reinforcing how they feel about themselves. You are part of the problem, simmer down.

I agree wholly with ShonHarris.

Good thing storms don't always last for long. Then they come back. That is the part that sucks. Your flowers bloom then there is the possibility that they will drown again.

Optimism is over rated anyway. When the walls are stripped away, all we have is hope either way. It is all we need, not a sunny disposition. Although it can help.

As a slightly on topic note: I read somewhere that listening to country music and video game soundtracks could be connected to suicide.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

I would read through old posts on a forum that no longer exists due to some nonsense. Everyone was sad that day.

Now I keep a diary. I write in it every time I start to relapse into depression. It helps.. kinda.
Anyway. You know what they say, attitudes are contagious. That is why I've been enjoying Cayenne's personality.. sort of. Always cheerful. Makes me cheerful. I restore my own faith in humanity hoping there are people like him in this world.

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

As always, death is tragic no matter how they died.
While it is tragic, suicide is also selfish. I've thought about it more times than I would like. For me, its the constant reminder in life that I may not have a purpose as described by Mr. Christian. No reason to live coupled with a sense of loneliness, not belonging, and feeling unloved by everyone tends to become more than some people can handle. That is were people decide whether they want to live or if they should die. It is selfish to die, because you obviously will hurt the people you think don't love you. With that is a small feeling is they and the world will be a better place without you. On the other hand, its selfish to live... for the same reasons but twisted around. As a "burden", you would feel that it isn't right that you live and hurt the people you think don't care about you. Then you think about how much you would hurt those people by dying.
Some people decide to give life another shot, see if they can change themselves into someone that would never consider these things. Some succeed, some don't. Some are scared of death and what comes next. Some people, like myself, are extremely indecisive. They live wondering if they made the right choice. For us, this choice is always what it comes down to. The answer is never simple. Its about as clear as filling a glass with water that had milk in it.

This is my experience with suicide and thoughts of. I never reached out to anyone because I believed I would be criticized for feeling this way.

As for speaking ill of the dead, you shouldn't. While the deceased probably won't mind, their families will. By talking bad about someone they lost, you are hurting them more and will probably lose not only respect, but friendship.
