Hey, so im a freshman in high school, and i have noticed this way too much. It kinda hurts thinking about it. Have you guys noticed how if a "popular" student is having their birthday, everyone puts their focus on them. Everyone says happy birthday, and the teachers have them sing for them? But if it is your birthday little to no one even bats an eye, and you might get a few stink eyes...? like theyr'e saying "Whoo hoo, you live another year, no one cares."
I've noticed this since probably fifth grade when I would do the announcements quote of the day in grade school. When the popular kids did the announcements they would get an applaud by the entire class. But when me or any of my few friends I had at their turn only a few of the quiet kids clapped when you came back. They also played the *insert my name here*-touch. Like I was some sort of disease. People would step on the backs of my shoes. people would throw basketballs at my face. Push me over and bully me. I sometimes either feel invisible or like I'm being pointed out for the wrong reasons... I feel like I'll never be successful in life at this point. My parents have never said once that they were ever proud of me and it hurts.

"You deserve to be beaten up by your dad"
Right after my mom said that to me, my tears just started falling, and have flashbacks of my childhood. I want to forget all the memories of my 4 to 12-year-old...
You are really strong for handling all those jerks. Really, really strong. I know this statement must seem ironic to you since you probably believe yourself to be weak. I don't think you are weak. I think the people around you and the circumstances you are in make you believe you are.
The thing with bullying is..., wrong people go after the good ones. It's a pathetic natural thing. And other wrong people join in while the very few others who don't like it still stay quiet, because either they don't want to be targeted next, or they just feel uncomfortable standing up to people who are 'high-tier'. The very fact they are considered high tier is dumb. There are no standards when it comes to basic human morale. And if anyone thinks that some people are 'better' or 'superior' than that's messed up. They are not superior. They are just bullies. Bad people, who want to dominate the good people. Not the weak ones. It's a bit twisted. They just want the good guys to feel weak, when they are honestly not. Like you. You are a good person who was made to believe otherwise. I'm a stranger, but I believe in you. I got bullied sometimes when I was young, because of my skin and at most times, for no reason at all. When you stand up for yourself, don't think of it like a movie or anything. Just tell them that how pathetic it is that they have to go after someone they consider inferior to themselves, in order to ensure their superior complex. And to that, you may be bullied even more. But don't let it bother you. At least, try to let it not. The positive and realistic way of looking at it would be: how it's almost funny that they are trying to take you down like you are some sort of high level hero in a game, just because their huge egos got hurt. Make it fun in your mind. You are not unlucky..., extreme circumstances simply call for extreme measures. Be a lone wolf or something like that lol. Who fucking cares, when they don't care about me. Right?
Umm, just repeating my words so that you remember them. I believe in you.
ReplyPeople are shallow, popularity is game people play, with all the pressure on the "popular one" to stay popular. Your parents perhaps were not given praise, affection when they were young by their parents, so it's not their fault that they are not expressive this way, but know that generally speaking a parent's love is unconditional for their children. Stay positive and focused on your goals.

Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
