This is sick!

[aimeeandbeatles]

I read this book. In the book, it says this overweight boy was bullied so much that he hanged himself.

But in the end, the author of the book blamed the boy. For "listening to his peers". WTH???

How can you ignore your peers when you're forced to sit in the same room as them... and when the teacher doesn't do anything!

 

[Phlegmak]

That's not sick. The book The 120 Days of Sodom is sick.

 

[Synobun]

Since when can teachers help anyways?

 

[JZ_UK]

Was the guy a fire and brimstone Christian or of the 'law of the jungle' persuasion?

Generally, you don't blame the victim... but one can disapprove of the course of action, in this case accepting the abuse of others and taking their view of the value of this life...

Well, obviously the bullies themselves should recieve most of the blame, but the kid, and any friends he had deserve some too. IMHO the teachers don't deserve any, teachers attempting to intervene really just make things worse in my view. So I believe they should only intervene if asked to by the kid or parents.

I know people call me evil, and disagree with me but in my view there is only one way to deal with bullies. Push back just as hard, or harder than they push you. Be active, and bully those who bully you. If you need too, fight it out with them, even if you are smaller/weaker.
I believe that the pain of getting mauled in a fight or being in trouble for one, is nothing compared to suicide, or having a friend commit suicide.
When people bully you, I' not talking about bei8ng laughed at a little, I'm talking about true continuos bullying. Then they are attacking the very core of your being, and fully deserve retaliation. Now I don't mean load up a glock, and shoot up your school. I mean walk up to the bully swear them out, and spit in their face. Then if they try to hit you, destroy them or get beat up trying.

How can you ignore your peers when you're forced to sit in the same room as them...

By ignoring them.

 

[Slaughter]

By ignoring them.

By punching their jaws until they can't speak. In group, bullies are strong, but alone you easily take down one.

Source?

(Rather than "this book", why not share with us the title and the author?)

Because no one can force you to do something you don't also decide to do yourself?

He obviously wasn't too fat: the rope held.

 

[Kozmos]

His willpower was weak hence obliteration.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

for one, I can;t remember the title. It was a while ago. Something to do with the real world.

The author seemed like a Christian, but then said money is success... ???

You don't seem to have a very good understanding of...the world, do you?

What happens when this is simply not an option? As in, the strength disadvantage is far too great?

You have a point, I think its time we find ourselves a better education system.

Im by no means a genius or anything, but all I remember from school is them going over the same stuff over and over and over again. They have to go by the pace of the slowest kid in class.

I was bored out of my head, I just sat there and did time and drew. Mostly skulls, I can still draw some killer skulls. Besides kids are bastards, the last thing we should do is to trust them to be around other kids, man.

I think the home schoolers are on to something. I dont mean the fundie bungholes.

You fight anyway... You'll probably get your ass kicked, but you will be able to protect your mind, and that's what this is about. A real man will fight it out even if he has no chance of winning, because as long as you stand up for yourself you will always be able to maintain self-esteem etc. In the short term you do the best you can, but inevitably get beat up. In the longer term you lift weights, and start taking martial arts
When I was 13 I stared down a kid who was 17, and about twice my size. He could have beat me up if he wanted to, but he didn't. He picked me up out of his chair (Which he'd stolen from me and my friends basicaly taking the table we had set up at for his friends.) But I was lucky, and didn't really get hurt. The point is you stand up for yourself like a man no matter what, and I know what I'm talking about.

Take a cheap shot - a good one. Like an unexpected kick to the nads. Bullies go down fast, so you might even escape unharmed. Anyone who fights fair is a moron. If someone forces me into a fight, I have only three possible targets: eyes, nads, and knees. Generally, blinding someone or badly breaking a knee would be excessive - so nads it is! I'll even grab em and squeeze until the bastard cries for mercy or they pop and he passes out. Of course, if it gets to the point that they pop I probably should have just broken a knee, but oh well.

QFT! War isn't fair, you should win at all costs. Though, I would say your list of targets is far to small. Strikes to the face, stomach, and throat can be quite effective as well. There are plenty of body throws in the martial artr I do that would destroy anybody who wasn't trained to fall from them. Finally there are so many wrist, and elbow breaks ignoring them is ridiculous.

In the end, hit whatever they leave open

I'm not trained in martial arts, but I can grab nads like a 2$ whore! I once saw a 250lb muscle guy talking crap at a little guy. The little guy grabed the big guy's nads. The big guy went to his knees FAST and was in no condition to retailiate after the little guy let go. Even the next day, the big guy didn't do anything - his spirit was broken.
