I act strange, well… I understand philosophy, quantum physics and things like that, but I think the other people are harder to get.
I dunno, I think the other people act strange too.
Most of them are mean, arrogant and harsh.For example, if somebody’s got a big spot on the nose, they wouldn’t think twice to mock him or her.If somebody is overweight they’d start bullying.And so on…
I’m so dumb sometimes…
Once a girl “befriended” me and we used to talk about everything, she said things about me but I couldn’t notice she was actually insulting me, she was just having fun, laughing at me behind my back.But one day a real friend o’mine said to me : “Are you stupid? she’s a bicht, she is a snobbish whore and she is just teasing you.Open up your eyes and see what she doing!”
And I just thought, do I deserve? I think I deserve, I should be smarter. ‘-‘

Some people are really smart in some ways and lack in other arenas. When I was in HS, I had next to no social skills – well, even though I was funny and charismatic; I tried too hard, and kids shit all over me to get ahead. That’s the breaks of the HS social structure.
Just mellow out and be observant. In time, your social skills will further develop… and, in the mean time, you can just find really cool people on the internet who share your interests, and yu can talk with them.
Wow, quantum physics in high school.. really? : )
Try not to worry about other people’s snobbish, arrogant behavior, as much as possible. Or at the least, do not turn it to yourself, as if it is somehow your fault. Teenagers do that to compensate and hide their insecurities. It’s actually rather pathetic. Think about it – if they were really THAT cool would they really need to make someone else look bad so they can look ‘above’ them? No, of course. Of course you don’t deserve this – no one does.
You’ll see that this hormonal, meaningless behavior will temper off after school. It is generally considered unacceptable in many workplaces. Not that there aren’t bullies among adults either..but it’s that direct anymore. Some people never grow up I guess. It helps recognizing it for what it is though – a mask for their insecurities.
Guillian, I’ve finished high school, I study for my own to get in an university.I just remembered the time I was in HS.
Well, now that it’s over, why bother going back and remembering it?
Do your universities have entry exams? Good luck in your studies!
Gillian, I heard something really cool about memories : “Whether it likes or not, a catterpillar must crawl before becoming a butterfly and being able to fly.Perhaps, my memories of that time are getting back to my mind because that was the time I was a little catterpillar”.
Maybe you are right about memories Kira.
You were never a caterpillar though. It just doesn’t apply to humans : ) Regardless that it makes a beautiful metaphor. In fact, if I could, I would travel back in time and slap Andersen right at that moment where he decides that his Ugly Ducking story would make a nice little kids tale. Seriously dude, very dumb tale!!!
No kid should ever feel like an ugly duckling, no kid should ever feel like a caterpillar. The fact that schools foster such hostile environments which prompt kids to hurt each other is a very sad, but amendable fact – and all adults have the responsibility to try to correct it.
how would we ever correct anything if we don’t bother to remember the past?
cl.name – because more often than not, sticking to past memories does nothing to help.
Ever heard of moving on? It requires looking ahead, not back. Try it sometime (and no, I won’t be indulging you in meaningless waterfalls of words today neither)
High school… a place where the majority aspires to be kim kardashian and kanye west.
Why are were we so bothered by them?
But, as we get older and (somewhat) wiser, our perspectives change and don’t worry, you will get when people mock you and hey, use sarcasm. Fire sarcasm back. Sometimes it helps.
My goodness, these two took their poor kid’s name from a map. I can envision an endless list of cruel name taunts coming.. and as we well know some children have no bound when it comes to verbal cruelty
Khloe is my favorite Kardashian. You have to have one, and I have my reasons.
i never said anyone had to “stick to” the past.
I say throw out that absolutist approach and learn to discern when memories are useful, without either sticking to them, or disregarding them entirely. Otherwise, you’ll grow up to be one of those people who says bizarre and irrational things, and gives bad advice.
But no, i’ve never heard of “moving on.” Is that new? I’ll just google it. I’d rather not blindly leap into any hip new fad.
Thanks for the warning and advice, cl, but you have to agree that considering your track record, you are not the best person to give advice and warnings. Thusly, I am rejecting your opinion fully and in whole totality (an excellent tautology if I ever saw one).
Now, when you get better, do better and feel better, please do come back and try again. Till then though, try not to pull down other people with you – some of them have problems and issues bigger than yours, and what you are doing isn’t helpful. And mostly, don’t try to do the crab bucket maneuver on me, that will work when hell freezes over.
