There really aren't that many decent people anymore...

I've lost faith in humanity. People are the worst. Example: today a girl at my school got punched in the jaw by a tougher and (i'm guessing) more popular girl. And then all the 'cool' kids were laughing about it on facebook. This just really upsets me, it's not like i'm great friends with the girl who got hit either. Shit like this happens all the time. I've heard about at least 4 fights happening in the last 2 days. The bullying at my school is horrible. It's like even if you killed yourself, people would still talk shit about you. You can't ever get away from it. I feel like the entire world is like this. Or are a lot of people just shitty because it's this school...?

I also have tons more stories about how awful people are around here.

And sorry, i don't mean to sound like a dumbass, i just had to vent. for like the 56th time today..

Sounds like high school.
Not everyone sucks that much, you just have to find the right place. I love the people I go to school with now, at least in the psychology department.

The whole world is not like this, but it can be easy to think so if you haven't had very good experiences with people. As louder-now said, you have to find the right place. There are some shit people everywhere (especially in school), but there are also plenty of amazing people you haven't come across yet.

Don't give up hope

I used to think the same thing. Ive had the most horrible past imaginable with bullying in school + college. Forced me to hide inside my home without a job and college for 6 years. Soon as i started studdying again everthing remained the same. Got bullied, and people where assholes.

However when i started working again, and doing my internship i got surrounded by nice and kind people. I was really suprised by how caring they are. Really seems to be the work environment and age. The new generation age 1-18 is generation nothingness. Most of them are Worthless and hearthless scum. The previous generations and older more mature people age 22+ are usually kinder.

When I was 13 I had biiig poofy blonde hair (didn't understand style, OK!?) top button always done up, chubby, cried if I forgot my homework. I had my toes stamped on and broken by this girl in the year above, all her friends and my class 'friends' laughed! She then poured itching powder down my back and I had an allergic reaction to it as well as all the sore itching! All that happened was the powder was confiscated off her until the end of the day.

I moved schools, grew a back bone. Turned pretty much into an asshole to defend myself.

Life isn't fair, it is harsh. People can be cruel, horrid and immoral - especially in school. BUT there are nice people out there. Sometimes it takes a while for people to grow the fuck up and sometimes grown ups can be just as bad. I'm now a loving mum after turning my life around and I know plenty of others that have

When I was at school I was pretty much the average guy.
Good grades, some friends, talked to everybody in my class... there wasn't much bullying at school and it wasn't devided between the cool and the uncool kids (I always thought this was an american thing)

But when I was around 13 there was this skinny boy me and my brother bullied a lot everyday while waiting for the bus. It came to a point where his mom took the bus one day (it was a regular bus, not a school one) and tried to hit my brother... and a few weeks after that she chased my mom on the street to hit her.

Yeah, I acted like a little asshole. To me it was just jokes like we were used to do between friends and the boy should just grow a pair and learn how to handle it. If anybody (an adult maybe?) had explained to me that because of things like what I was doing kids go home and cry and get traumatized and feel really miserable... of course I would have stopped immediately.

But instead of that, her mom came and started bullying my mom, which only made things worse then ever.

I know I still own the guy some apologies though and I'd take it all back if I could.
