High School

Last year, the dumbasses in charge of putting my combination on my schedule put the wrong one. I had to wait two days before anything was done about it. Lazy asses.

Oh, and did I mention that it was extremely embarrassing!?

Since I'm 100% sure they had far more to do than simply give one student their combination, I'm curious what your response would be if you had those insults hurled at you over one single mistake.

When your teacher gives the class a 3-5 page paper that she wants the rough draft off the next day, but doesn't give a specific topic to write about

She's giving you free reigns on your paper, how is that a bad thing?

And lol 3-5 pages, my final essay in college wasn't even that long.

Just as annoying: when the teacher hands out things or explains things, or even both, as the bell to end the class is ringing and expects the students to stay and get what they need.

So then stay?
If it's something that you need for an assignment then why would you leave.

If I was in their position, I'd let the actions I chose to take do the talking rather than the words I wanted to say.

I did stay for that particular day, as nearly every other time. I can only recall leaving in the middle of it twice, both of which came in middle school.

So like the people who took two days to assign you a locker. What do you think they do? Wait for students who needs lockers everyday for half a year?

I would check that attitude before I would start namecalling. Or better yet, put yourself in their shoes, imagine what they go through on a daily basis at work, and maybe you'll learn to be nice. You'll end up with the same thing regardless, only not immediately when you want it.

This is what having five years of crap shoved in my face has done to me. I never did handle it in the best of ways when it first started and I've not done that now. It gets worse with each passing year. I'm trying to change myself, but I have an extremely bad habit of moving without weighing my options. I can recognize that I need to change, but its really going to take some time for me.

 

[The Bman]

Except that the "crap shoved in your face" is over-exaggerated.

Please stop getting worked up over minor things. That attitude will get you nowhere once you're out in the real world. If instances like those make you have anger outbursts and embarrass yourself, for sure it will not make anything better once you're out of school.

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh lord what a crazy day.

I walked into the school pissed off today. Someone, who I've had problems with long before today, decided to say that I "was on my period." That set me off. Because he thinks its fun to make me mad and its funny to see me react to it, he kept going. Even after I sent out several rather aggressive hints to knock it off. We all got back from Votech, and in the minute or so I had before heading to my next class, I threw down for a fight that in all honestly wasn't much of anything. I got hit a few times and I hit him. It all lasted less than a minute. I walked away and stopped at the restroom to check myself out. I was pretty much okay except for a red spot on my face and a sore shoulder, the latter of which still hurts. I just walked to class and that was the end of it, minus a sense of adrenaline flowing through me.

Then at the end of the day walking to the busses, the guy comes up behind me. He tries to egg me on, but I ignore it. He then kicks me a couple of times, with the last kick sending me into the bus, enough to shake it, in an effort to catch myself from falling. This was the last I saw him, and I didn't bother to look at him or even in his general direction. Upon stepping onto the bus, the driver questioned me about it. They offered to write the kid up, which I more than gladly told the driver to do. I consider myself pretty lucky though, because the other guy is in MMA training.

So, with all that being said, I've got a target on my back that is nothing but bullseye.

 

[Slash]

That's when you turn around and beat the ever loving 🤬 out of them.

Only thing is you wait until they hit first. Then you've got the self defense defense.

If I was in the mood for anymore of it, you and everyone else in this thread would know if I was after retaliation, which I'm not.

He will most likely be coming after me the rest of this week. I'm just going to hang back and let whatever happens, happen.

 

[CinnamonOD]

MMA training.

Those guys are just a bunch of showoffs:

-A kick on their crotch and they're down.
-A headlock always work, too, especially the ones you have to hide your face and hands
-If you know you're about to get a headlock, take a deep breath and when you're down, just tickle them.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

just tickle them.

because the other guy is in MMA training.

Pfft, please.... like @AJHG1000 said they're nothing. These are the guys that try to use karate offensively only to get their asses handed to them. They think that just because they know a move or two, they are hot 🤬.

Brush it off.

A REAL fighter AVOIDS confrontation, because he knows what he's capable of. When you grow up and hit the clubs (assuming you will try it out) the guy that stays quiet in an argument and says "I don't want no trouble" is usually the one that will hand you an ass whooping.

Also, this really got me:

....decided to say that I "was on my period."

That set me off.

Why? Why would that set you off?

I love messing with d-bags like him. They think they're tough because they spew slurs. All you have to do is say "...and?" They have nothing for that. Keep saying that, and they will give up. Why? Because they see that they're not getting under your skin, so they back off and try to save their damaged ego.

They don't know you. So why does a slur that has nothing to do with you concern you?

"What, are you on your period?"

Why does that piss you off? Are you a female? No. So why does this concern you?

The only opinions you need to worry about are that of your immediate family. The quicker you get that through your head, the better.

The quicker you learn to be indifferent of people's opinions the more successful you'll be.

^ This.

 

[Johnny1996]

Okay guys I'm sorry that every little freaking thing gets to me like crazy okay? I'm sorry that's how things go for me these days. I'm sorry that its been five years of me trying to make things stop or be better or whatever as a result of bullying and depression and I've not gone about it the best of ways. I'm sorry that I even have to type a letter in this thread anymore because its the same thing every time. I'm sorry guys. I'm not trying to get attention I'm just trying to talk about things when and where I feel the need to. I'm sorry I even have to bother the people in here with it.

It doesn't bother anyone in here. We're trying to help you get passed the situation. What is GTP? It's much more than a community. It's a family - literally (the Koios family, Famines, etc. (sorry for not mentioning other families in here)) and figuratively - we're here for you.

I'm just pissed that a little prick like that got to you. BECAUSE IT'S ONLY HIGHSCHOOL! You've got so much ahead of you. You're not going to let this guy get to you.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Ehh...


There's a large sense of grow the 🤬 up, honestly.

This week, they're selling candy bags for 2 dollars each. I went to get one, and guess what song was playing there?

Last Christmas.

But it was just a cover.

Wrong thread, amigo

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Yeah I saw that when I scrolled up and went back a page or two... I'm just trying to help him out.

This was posted in the WHAM! thread as well, right?

 

[Epic B]

Yes. But it did happen in high school.

 

[CinnamonOD]

It still belongs to the other thread

 

[Astroboy2215]

Today was a very great day for a monday, checked my grades before grades closed this Friday and if i keep my current pace, I'm looking at honors again, and maybe even high honors! This got me really excited. I also mustered up the courage to ask the girl I liked out, and she said yes! I couldn't of asked for a better Monday!!

Just take a quick chill pill. Getting mad at people for messing with you isn't going to solve much. Understand that bullying occurs outside of high-school, and it's something you'll either have to stand up to or at-least try and ignore it. Workplace harassment, ect. is a problem in many jobs.

I got bullied a-lot until I started threatening to **** **** up. I was kinda quiet, a lifter, and heavy enough to knock that bus you hit over. Although I was nice, people knew not to start crap with me. Let people know that you're nice, but not a pushover.

A REAL fighter AVOIDS confrontation, because he knows what he's capable of.

Exactly, and sometimes, quiet people **** stuff up unknowingly.


The next time you get in a fight in high-school, play this song through your phone before it happens. As a result of it's absurdity, everyone will be on the floor laughing.

NSFA=Not Safe For Anything.

Such a terrible song that I have to share it.

Good luck :3

 

[Johnny1996]

I'm not really all that strong at all, so even though I'm the older one compared to him, he has the advantage.

As for the song, if its "NSFA" then that probably includes high school.

Even though you aren't exactly strong or even muscular, you still can fight back. My friend who is really skinny can punch just as hard as I can due to his super bony hands. Take a simple self defense class.

That song is just that terrible.

If the idiot does anything physical, only then am I going to fight back. He might, and even though I'm quite modest and laid back for a teenager (especially one at my school), I'll just deal with it however I need to.

 

[Aesthetics]

I've never had to fight anyone (yet) and I plan to keep it that way. All I do is if someone calls me names,or start shoving me around, I never retaliate, or show any anger, because that's what they want to happen. I just say "whatever" and walk away. After a few times they usually leave me alone.

Anyways, my attempts to get into a good college is made much harder now, since I live in what's now the "least educated" city in America.

Keep the hard work up and it'll pay off. 👍

And based on everything you have recently shared in this thread, you're the one who painted it there. You're intolerant, aggressive, lack resilience and egocentric. The other guy might have thrown the first punch, but if you just calm down for thirty seconds and stop taking everything so damn personally, this wouldn't be a problem. You need to learn to live and let live, and stop keeping a running tally of everyone that you think as wronged you. You might not be able to change others, but you can change the way you think, act and behave.

Reminds me of myself.

The best thing I ever did during my puberty was quit getting offended by every possible slur. The change of attitude would eventually get me a bunch o' friends, and made the rest of the schoolyear more enjoyable by a ton.

 

[Astroboy2215]

Well, my school has decided to let us out early, since there is going to be a nor'easter. Not looking forward to the drive home, the call also messed up my art class and in the case of an early release block one gets out at 8:15, they called it at 8:35. Sort of throwing my day off, but atl east they are letting us go before it gets too nasty.
