You might wonder why I'm taking this so personally with Mikey. It's not like this hasn't happend to me before, so why am I making so much of it this time? I'll tell you. It's people like Mikey that made my highschool life a living hell. Yes, I was a dork. I was unpopular. I didn't fit in. I had very few friends. Not because I wasn't a nice guy, no, that would be too easy. I was as nice as they come.
Some people just find it necessary to take every person that is less fortunate than they are and make fun of them, put them down, and just be mean in general towards them. It's people like Mikey, who choose not to like someone just because they don't have cool hair, that cause countless people to commit suicide every year. It's people like Mikey, who decide that someone is not cool just because their parents don't have enough money to buy them new clothes all the time. It's people like Mikey, who have been making fun of less fortunate people their whole lives, who need a reality bite.
I've dealt with people like him my whole life. I've been called a dork, gay, fag, preppy, pretty-boy, tool, nerd, and just about every other word out there. Funny, cause most people call me gay right after I compliment their gf. Makes sense, eh? I've been made fun of because of my psoriasis (look it up). All by Mikey, and people like him. Highschool, a time for most kids to grow up and find themselves, was the time when I had to avoid people in the halls so I didn't get made fun of again.
I may still be a geek, or a dork... but I'm not in highschool anymore. I'm not the same little boy that was afraid to stand up for himself. I have grown up. I had thought that after highschool some of those people would also grow up, but I guess it just doesn't happen that way. This is my last post on this subject, because I don't wish for it to continue. It started because of a stupid reason in the first place. But I'm promising this to everyone right here and now: I will not put up with everything I had to in highschool. I will not be made fun of without me standing up for myself. Remember that.
