Kids in school can be complete jerks, I know firsthand.

I have put up with enough crap in school to fill an oil tanker. so I left, I am homeschooled now too.

I am beginning to be glad I have never heard this song...




and yeah, I was jumped behind the school once, me and a friend.

If I recall correctly, we were going to head over to his house for a game of 40k (the day was, ironically, friday, so no real homework) and there is his cliff area that you walk past to get from the 5th grade portable rooms to the parking lot. anyways, these guys (wont say their names) leaped off the cliff and attacked. it ended up not going their way when one of them tripped over a rock and knocked out a tooth, but Ii decided to be homeschooled instead of going to junior high the next year.

I have been homeschooled for...lost count of how many years I have been homeschooled acualy

one of the good things about nepal, is that there is no such thing as a 'nerd' or 'geek' people who have bad grades are considered shameful, while the most popular kids have the best grades.

you are gay? did not know that.

Oh, you meant they labeled you as gay. Well, they did to me too. Because 'who else wants to play with toy soldiers?'


Anyone who is 'uncool' is gay by their standards.

Not sure how they put two and two together and ended up with thirty-six.

Hey, homeschool is not as sheltered as you think. I know more about the world (and the abominations that can reside in it) than a lot of kids my age, I am homeschooled.

But she does need to be able to take more than just some verbal abuse. it took some kid trying to throttle the life out of me to get me to Homeschool.

And if someone is lower on the totem than you, boy is there pressure to harass them. I never gave in though.

About what?

Ouch. That DOES sound harsh.



on the other hand, it really brakes the illusion that famous people are popular.

hell my own uncle was deemed in his class to be the most likely to murder someone by age 20' (cuz of temperament though)

he blew it off by joining the marines.

was this in high school or college?

your location says Colorado though.

(I was born in colorado)

I see.

(no don't judge homeschoolers, and for the kid argument, nobody leaving school has any bearing on kids in the 3rd world, one of the reasons I pulld out of shcool also, was because I have ADHD, OCDs, Dysgraphia, on/off dyslexia and a hell of a lot of other stuff that I am busy crushing Right now)

If she had grown a pair of balls and stuck it out, the kids would have found someone else to stress out after a week. Sounds mostly like jealousy really.......

Sarpedon!...I had no idea...

Actually, the LLC is a homeschool program that has you submit your work and do interviews with a official every month. it counts as full credits.

it actually took what amounted to attempted First to get me out of school

Repeatedly? Oh my. and I was only strangled.

You make funny joke.

being choked is no fun. but every Man has a weakness...and you know where that is.

nah...I'll just put birdseed all around the place.

Private schools can have bad crowds too.

Agreed, lol

Fun fact from a former bully: making things physical is usually the wrong route. Not only are we generally popular with students, we tend to be popular with administrators. It is very much a case of win the battle (maybe) and lose the war.

not true, i can tell you now that you were not popular, you were hated behind your back, people discussed doing things to your regenerative member with a sausage grinder. nobody likes a jerk, they can fear bullies, but not respect them or think them actually cool, they just are too scared for their teeth.

if you actually thought you were 'popular' that is more than a bit pathetic.

dogma wrote:The problem is that, on occasion, said donkey-caves turn out to be fairly accomplished.

I laugh at that. Ever heard of Bill Sykes? he bullied Charles Dickens as a kid and now everybody thinks of him as the Sid and Nancy poster boy.

people like that start high, end up in the gutter begging.

Someone with some humility. Thank you.

Yes, I can point out that in every school I have visited or attended, the bully thought he was a popular person and that everyone liked him, in fact everyone hated him and his dim perception of other people was clouded further by delusions of grandeur and flat out stupidity, which is the hallmark of all his ilk.

including you.

What the hell is wrong with you anyway? You get your sick kicks by tormenting others?
Your poor parents.

I don't think he is awesome. a lot of people hopefully do not think he is awesome, if they do, well than I am clearly on the wrong board. I think I am trying top point out that you cant have everything you want in life by hurting others. its a means to an end, yes, but someday, unless you play your cards just right. Somebody is going to get fed up with you.

I really wish that Dogma would stop all this internet tough guy bisness. for all we know, he could be massively compensating for something with that massively overblown ego of his, or he could be a tiny, snotling sized person sitting at his desk in his parent's basement at the age of forty, getting off on all this fake rep he has built for himself.


or he could just be a jerkoff.

Well, Dogma himself has insisted he is a bully, I hate bullies. With every fiber of my being, they are Xeno Horrificus in my opinion.

He DOES seem to want to make himself look cool. I joined this forum to talk about 40k and take part in a few RPGs. not get in a flame war. but you see, if we do, you, me or him can't win, its like the crusades. both sides believe they are right. Personally, I do not see why you are defending someone who has proclaimed himself to find it funny to visit pain and misery on others.

No.

AH HA! You admit that he WAS a bully. but he seems to say he IS a bully. he said 'yes, I get my sick kicks out of tormenting others' or what amounted to that.

well pardon me. it is kind of hard to detect sarcasm on the internet
