Warning: This will upset some of you

My last post wasn't meant as a post about bullying itself. I wrote it about where I felt the responsibilities of the school ended. However, it quickly became discussions of bullies and bullying on my LJ and many others, so now I'll write about my opinions of the act of bullying

I get what you're saying. I'm not sure that being picked on helped make me the way I am, since I didn't really learn to stand up to bullies so much as they stopped caring about me. The time they stopped caring is right about the time I decided they could go to Hell, but I'm not sure what would have happened if they had persisted.

Thankfully for me, when I started high school I went from being a shy, quiet insecure dork to a hot chick who had guys asking for her number all the time. It was a like a switch being flipped, really. Middle school = dork who was picked on. First day of high school (hell, even before then since I had band camp that summer...ok I was still a dork ;-) ) = guys I'd never met telling my friends they thought I was hot could they get my number?

Funny thing was, after that, I got a big head and started being an uppity bitch until I moved to Georgia, and realized how awful I'd been to some of my friends who I considered still "not cool enough". It's one reason I have a hard time being petty-snarky IC is because I'm oversensitive to it now.
