Well, that's a good point, I suppose.

Yeah, to me betrayal, in whatever form, is one of the worst things to do to someone.

ooh, I have a bad locker room story....
in 8th grade, my first year in a new school, this one kid who was not tough ****, for some odd reason decided he was going to pick on me. He always wanted to pick a fight with me while I was in the middle of changing for gym. I'd have my shorts around my ankles and he'd start with me, shove me around a little bit, I'd tell him to knock it off, that it's stupid to fight while we're both half-naked, especially without provocation. This went on for a few days, finally one day, with my trousers down, I threw open a locker and slammed it into his face...I didn't get **** from him anymore.

Very true - fighting a high school kid would be a cakewalk. Fighting three people, who would be at least my size, would be a disaster if they did the smart thing and all bum-rushed me at once. My only defense to that is to say "Sure, you can kick my ass, but which one of you wants to go to the hospital?".

True...I tend to think in terms of how I would fight someone, not how most people would.

That's a sure method of going to the hospital for a lengthy stay.

OK, OK guys, but it would be better if you could manage to get your point across without hurting people, wouldn't it? Just a thought from this former softcore, (mostly) non-violent bully...

I was the tortured tool of amusement for many of my fellow peers right from Year 2 (it was then that the wretched little brats knew what made me tick) to about year 10 (when they finally decided to grow up). The worst of it being in Year 8. It ruined my schooling as well. My mind was too bogged down to be worrying about school work, and my marks dropped quickly. I was in the honours classes at the beginning of Year 8. Then in Year 9, I was doomed to remain in all the mediocre classes. I could've made it to university, but those scars took too long to heal, and now I am ploughing through an alternative path towards my career choice.
I've learned one valuable lesson here. They are the ones with the huge problems. They selfishly decide that to make themselves feel better, they have to make someone else feel worse. If I could turn back time, I'd handle them differently. Simply saying "Sorry you think of me like that.", then walking away is enough to make THEM look like the fool.
But if anything good came out of the experience, I've realised how futile anger is, and have since been training myself to try and surpass it. I was overly angry with everything all the way through, and then it hit me... nothing was accomplished in such an irrational state of mind. And now that I've learned that lesson, I'm one step closer to true happiness.
