Teenagers are the most idiotic age group out there. At least that's what some people think and I can see why. Today in math class I witnessed one of the worst displays of immaturity. This group of maybe 5-7 people picked on this one guy. Now to be honest the guy does get picked on a lot, but there are times where it goes to far. Well moving on to the story... We will call the victim person B. Today B asked me what universities I got into and I told, granted it was a little annoying because he already has asked me a number of times... Well this other guy overheard the conversation and decides to target B. Now I'll just go ahead and advance the story right here... The guy asks B if he passed his Gr 10 literacy test on the first try. B says nothing and is obvious that he didn't. The guy proceeds to insult him and others join in. And whenever B would make a comeback they would reply with "at least I know english." So B got sick of it and said the reason he didn't pass it the first time was because he's Turkish. One guy asks him to speak Turkish and he does. They then proceed to laugh at him... One guy even saying "That's such a retarded language." Now everything was somewhat ok with me up to this point... I cannot stand it when people make fun of others because of their ethnicity/language. I mean come on.... How fucking immature do you have to be....Well they continued to make fun of B not passing the literacy test on his first try and his turkish as well. B says "At least I know more than one language" And once again the idiots come out with the same response "At least we know english." And his english isn't even that bad... Who cares if you failed the literacy test the first time. At least he isn't a complete loser like you.... It might not sound as bad when you read it, but I guess you just had to be there. B was made fun of during the whole duration of the class and stuck with it. Props to him for not giving in to their idiotic jokes. Well I have to admit something... I do pick on B to, but not this seriously.. Maybe a joke here and there, but he does the same with me. And I did just sit and watch for the class, doing nothing. I guess that makes me just as worse.... The point of this rant is. Learn to give other the proper respect they deserve, if you can't do that then please just shut the fuck up!
Khaos, glad you realize that it is disrespectful but maybe you shoulda stick up for that classmate as well.
it does sound pretty bad but those guys who make fun of it do it for a reason either to make the guy sound/feel worse than they do or to lift their own spirits to find faults in these people who ARE better than them sounds about the same doesn't it cause it basically is next time you should stand up for him you might get picked on too though but i bet a lot of girls, will silently admire you for it
i can't stand ppl who pick on other ppl. i only pick on ppl who picks on me. we just go back and forth. we have to be cool with it b4 we make fun of each other. i had a friend who picked on this one guy and i stood up for him.
well if he really is in a really that bad of situation sticking up for him might not be bad at all it will clearly show ur not a loser like those guys and what do have to lose this may get u some reputaion and all those girls will say to u: 'K ur a real man, lets go out sometime and we do some adults fun'
u should have stuck up with him man. though then again they would then pick on u but at least u know u've done something right. besides their comeback was just sh*t. i mean wat a stupid comeback, 'at least i know english', a clever person will have realised that 2 languages are better than knowing one.
come on K next time stand up for the dude. if it happened to you and no one helped you out it would suck too. but i agree, that kind of behaviour is very childish.
bully!!! that kinder happen to me too tbh but normally i just tell them to fuck off n rest my m8s helps me out n ofc when they starting losing the conversion they always say: "come on then, u wanna start, we take it outside I DECK U! " LOL as usual they never do in the end
i think you should stand up for him, but i disagree with standing up for him right away....i think you should encourage him to stand up for himself first and then when he does that and things still get outta hand...you could back him up. It would better for him. But yea these are something seriously stupid ass kids, picking on others for ethnicities and such...damn immature.
I realize that doing nothing was the wrong choice. It was a mistake on my part, and hopefully I won't make the same mistake twice.
well, Khaotic at least you know now. Sticking up for a person can be done in a peaceful manner. Just a sentence like "Guys, this is getting too far" and then tap on the B's shoulder and walk out of the situation is better and non confrontational. B may not have a great communication skill but it is definitely not alright to belittle another person. If you find him annoying, just steer clear but then again you can be kind and just answer him again. I don't think it is anyone's desire to be irritating and annoying. Cultural difference maybe.
It's nice for you to know that this is beyond joke, but you should have said something back at them, if they pick on you, you can start using your hands and legs =P
wow ... props to him for not getting violent ... i was thinking of things i could say to those retards when i was reading -censored-censored and i understand how everyone says you should stand up for him, but it seriously is easier said than done i doubt there is anyone in this world who doesn't to some degree want to be socially accepted, and sometimes standing up for someone is risking acceptance i don't know of any bullying at my school now, but in middle school there was this group of kids that were just mean to this specific person, and they pushed him around everyday and made fun of him being russian there were a few times i just told them that they were being retards and that they are going to fail in life
There are times for fun and games, but if someone steps out of line that's where the problems occur. But racism is pretty bad and you should stick up for B and go easy on the jokes.
I bet his going to come in the lesson one day with a shotgun and BOOM...those guys... LMAO, yaa those f@gs seem pretty sad with nothing better to do, i hate it when people are racist, i always use " at least i can speak multiple languages unlike your self " that always shuts who ever being racist. LOL if it doesn't SLAP THEM LOL
unfortunately bullying is a part of school and sometimes college life. there is the popular guys who bully and the others who get picked on.
