I've always said that standing up for ones-self is not something that we can turn the other cheek about. You can't always walk away from a fight, and you can't always back down. You have to at times, stand up to the bullies of the world, you have to tell these assholes to; “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Do you really want to know why; we should stand up to the bullies of the world? Because one day the person they might be picking on, might be your relative, they might be your children, they might be your friends. So if you know a person whom might me mentally week, and can't stand up to the bullying of a bully...the strong people of the world need to; "get it together, and stand up to those loud-mouths, and tell them to shut the fuck up!" Especially when it is regarding; prejudice (in regards to, religion, race, and sexual orientation).
Look I'm a nice person, but I'm not a wimp; "if I see someone treating one of my friends like shit; just because....they worship a different religion, or just because they are from a different race, or maybe they have a different sexual orientation then those bullies do. Maybe their biggest sin in the eyes of their harasser might just be that they dress differently than them. They may be picking on the wimpy kid simply because he or she is poor...or overweight, it could be all of these reasons. Or simply the bully just doesn’t like this person, but whatever the reason that these idiots have for picking people and my friends. I'm the type of person to tell those bullies to...“shut the fuck up!" But the sad thing is, in a lot of U.S schools and in our society, we have the; "Thank God it's not me that’s being bullied, type of attitude!" Now that type of attitude gets people killed! If you see someone getting the shit kicked out of them, and then you don't call the cops, that person might get killed. Or if that person is being bullied and yelled at by a punk-ass-bitch, and you stand there not saying shit about it, and then that person goes home; probably thinking, no one in their life really cares about them. Later they might go on to commit suicide. A suicide that could have been prevented, if, "you or anyone" had given a shit, and told that bully to; "shut the fuck up!"
We've all done it...we've all turned away, when a friend or co-worker, was getting bullied by someone. Then well go home, and pretend that we feel badly that we didn't do anything for that person. When we should have gotten out a set of balls, and gotten our ass-kicking-juice out, while stopping ourselves from living like mice. All we would have had to have done, regarding bullies, was to stand up and say; "stop-it!" You're acting like a fucking idiot’s! If one of us would have said that, we might have saved someone’s life. Not everyone who is bullied gets killed or commits suicide...like the kid in New York, who wound up committing suicide, all because some rude-ass, obnoxious, little-punks, couldn’t stop making fun of him and bullying him. I didn't commit suicide after being bullied by bullies; an event which occurred for most of my life, while I attended Junior High and High School. Bullies didn’t beat me to death either; but if I would have stood up for myself a lot sooner; before snapping, and punching our High School R.O.T.C Captain's face in, for making fun of my mom, a mother, whom was verbally abusive towards me, for most of my entire life. Maybe if I hadn’t of snapped, and maybe if I had learned how to deal with bullies and bullying…maybe, I might have gone on to graduate from High-school. I might have gone to my prom...I might have, met and married someone my own age. Things I never did! All because of my low self-esteem which was created by bullies!
I was so extensively bullied, that I lived in fear of the bullies for most of my life. When I had a son, I taught him from the age of three on; to fear NO-ONE! I taught him how he needed to handle someone calling him names. I always asked him; “What do you do when someone is calling you names?” At 4 years of age, he'd tell me; "I tell them, shut up!" And what do you do if they hit you? "I hit them back!" Plus my kid’s father, who was almost a professional boxer, would stand my son up, and pretend to punch him, and say; "now hit me back!" My son loved it, which was a huge relief for the both of us, because we knew, that we didn't have a wimpy-kid on our hands. When my son was in the sand-box at the age of 3, a group of little kids surrounded him; they'd hit him and knock him down, and he really was enjoying this treatment. He'd just get back up, and hit them back! I'm really rather proud of him, because, in his Junior High and High School years; other guys would come to him, for protection against the bullies. With the way our world is, we really need to start training our sons and daughters, on how to handle bullies and their bullying. I believe that this type training should start around 4 years of age. Kids these days really do need this type of early developmental training, so that they will have the right tools, to deal with this huge problem! It’s a problem, which could eventually lead to them dropping out of High School, just like I did.
If everybody, including the entire world, keeps turning a blind eye to bullying, kids will continue to drop out of school, or in some cases commit suicide. No you can pass anti-bullying-laws to stop bullies! You can't ask the bullies to stop! Why? Because as soon as you turn your back on those bullies; guess what those-little-punks will be doing? He or she will be doing exactly what they were doing, before you told them not to do it; they'll go right back to bullying the wimpy kid! Why? Only that wimpy kid, and nobody else, can really stand up to the bullies, but their friends could help them. Although; it’s really not any friend’s personal responsibility, to have to jump into other friends beefs, with other student’s A.K.A bullies. We all know that the wimpy kid won't do it, simply because, he wasn't taught or trained, that it's OK to stand up for yourself when someone is bullying you. The wimpy kid also won’t really understand, that no one else will usually stand up for them, because most of their friends have been taught the "as long as it's not me attitude. So why do I have to stand up for this person?" That's exactly why I taught my kid, to always stand up for himself! To always tell rude assholes to shut the fuck up! My mother tried to teach me; what Jesus taught everyone, which was; "turn the other cheek!' Do you really want to know exactly what happens in today’s society; when you turn the other cheek? You will continually get your ass kicked! Getting a beat down, whether it's verbal or physical...totally sucks! No one deserves to be treated that way.
Look! If you don't learn how to stand up for yourself...then don't expect anyone else to do it for you! Because guess what? Most people…but not all the people in this country or the world act like a bunch of pussies. There really wasn't a nicer way to say that. It's always someone else, who has the fight, has the war, or is the one with the problem. Most of us in the U.S expect our Government to handle all our problems regarding social injustices. Guess what a cop told me one day? A cop told me; that if I had a stalker, and he was really harassing me, and I had (at that time) a restraining order. That I should go and buy a gun and shoot him...because the Cop's said, “we won’t be there in time to safe your life! He went on to tell me; "it only takes 8 seconds to kill someone!" Really…all it takes to kill someone, is the pull of a trigger, and “bang you're dead!”
I realize that my life and the life of others are very important; "so when we as a society or any society, don't tell the bad people; to shut the fuck up! Some really horrible things, can and have happened to people, because, not one of us had the balls to tell those idiots; "to knock it off!" No one told these bullies; "you’re wrong! That person is nice! Stop hurting them!" No one stood up for those people! Not one person took a stand, and no one cared about their welfare! This nation’s bully-mentality isn’t an exclusive problem here in the U.S., it is happening all over the world. As long as there are places, where people won’t stand up for themselves, there will always be room for bullies. Bullying around the world has happened to women, to Jew's, to African-Americans, to gays, and just happens to anyone; whom doesn't fit into what that culture considers "normal." Can anyone tell me what normal is in 2011 soon to be 2012? Let’s all stand up to the bullies of the world and let’s all tell them to, “shut the fuck up!”
It really saddened me when I read on Facebook, that the bullies whom had pushed that kid in New York, (who was gay) to commit suicide; “went on to bully his sister?” WOW! If I would have been there, I would have thrown my shoe at that kids head, and if he wouldn't of shut-up. I would have thrown my other shoe at him too. I don't condone violence, but in a violent world, sometimes the only choice you'll have, is to resort to violence. Now if his sister would have socked the bully in the face. The bully that was responsible for her brother’s suicide. I would have cheered her on! Bullying has to come to an end! As a parent you have a responsibility, to teach your kids to stand up for themselves! Your kids shouldn't have to be afraid to defend themselves against bully’s either. Why? Graduating from High School, and going on to college, is a really important thing to be able to do and bullying should stop you from being able to do that. Plus we as a society really don't want to see any more kids committing suicide over being bullied. When all it would have taken to stop those bullies, was to tell them; to knock-it-off and shut-the-fuck-up! I really hope that one day; schools in the U.S. will stop turning the kids whom defend themselves from bullying, into the bad guys. I really believe that if you are bullied, you should be able to stand up for yourself, without the fear of being suspended; like I was, for kicking our High School R.O.T.C Captains ass…a beating he totally deserved!
