i think the world of angst teenagers seems to be getting out of hand lately. sure, we may not like each individual that we meet, nor would we like to see our reputation go down the drains because someone has been spreading rumours about us. but in the first place, THINK. what did you do to deserve it? did you do something to offend? did you deserve it? is it true? what can you do to counter it as a civillised human being? i know it isnt easy to find out that someone's backstabbing or causing you trouble, but fighting fire with fire DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. I'm pretty sure many of the female counterpart have been called degrading names before, whether it was meant or not. but throwing back an equally degrading name does not solve the problem, nor will it force the attacker to surrender. as an individual, i'm sure the only person who knows you the best would be yourself, and knowing that you are NOT what they labelled you, there is no need to waste your time and energy on persuading the attack to change his mind, further more on the attacker itself. like they say, empty vessels make the most noise, thus the noise empty vessels make has no meaning to it. its ok to not make a comeback to every statement made to you; likewise its ok not to accept what people say to you. so in case an attacker tries to cause problems for you, always remember who you really are inside and dont let others provoke you. they are not worth your time and energy, and you're better off enjoying your day than to waste even a second on these idiots. =] so when you encounter a situation similar to this, just take a deep breath, say thank you, and walk off. oh yeah, dont forget to smile ;)! i'm pretty sure that bully wont bug you anymore ^^!
as a reminder to all victims: keep your chin up and remember who YOU are. you know yourself the best, so dont let another person's hateful comment harm you. you're stronger than the winds of the earth, and you have the power to be the best among the best. even at your worst, you're still wayyy better than that idiot which the noise is coming from. =]
