(5,067 posts)As someone who was bullied, however, burying my emotions literally made me ill. All the anger at them that I wasn't expressing I turned on myself.
The few times I stood up to them, I actually felt better. For example these girls in my class who always thought themselves, "very special," wanted to have the rest of us sign an apology to our teacher who had just gotten fired by the principal in front of us. The "teacher," was fired because she had just slammed a boy's head against the black board so hard, he fell unconscious and had to be rushed to the ER in an ambulance. We were 12. He probably said something to her that he shouldn't have but there was no excuse to do that to a kid.
When they asked me to sign it, I said
there was no way I was going to apologize to someone so cruel, we did nothing to apologize for and that she deserved what she got. Do you know what happened?
Some of the boys who were always making fun of me, came up and hugged me and told me it was about time I stopped being a doormat and that they were proud of me and they refused to sign too.
It's one thing if someone else is actually sorry for hurting others, and actually apologizes too, but it's quite another if they go on treating other people badly, or associate with people who do, and expect the rest of us to go along just to get along.
Anyone with any common sense should have the capability to see Trump is a vicious person who wants to have other people physically harmed. That's why I will never tell someone I understand why they are Trump supporter, because I won't lie like Donny does.
Democrats aren't perfect but we aren't the ones saying we are going to put people in concentration camps just because they have a different religion or skin color, or they love someone of the opposite sex. I will never be accepting of anyone who
supports those kind of views.
