Hang Out and Post

[Naamah D.]

So, after abandoning my Lenny, Chuckalah to adopt a Jetsam I picked up at the pound, I looked up Chuckalah and guess what? She was still in the pound. So I abandond the Jetsam and readopted my Lenny. I transferred my Jetsam to my main account so now I get to have Chuckalah on my main!!!!

[-Ryan]

So my high school's football team is playing the team they lost the state championship to last year in a few hours. :3

 

 

Thats wonderful, Nahemah! :D

[khaos]

@48066: Yeah, me too.

 

Man, all of Geography today was talking about our bullying problems. Some of the 7th grade boys were saying that the 6th grade girls were bullying them (which was not true) then everyone started talking about THEM bullying US. That was true. When we got back because we left on a wrong bell, we started talking about people bullying us in OUR class.

 

Anyways, waitin' for an e-mail. :whistle:

To be honest, it's harder to disown and expect someone to pick a basic-coloured pet in the pound unless it has a really good name (or if it's an LE pet regardless of colour). It happened with my old Red Pteri Nensondubois when I disowned him for Nifuel, someone adopted my old Nensondubois due to a fine name (no numbers, no underscores, and/or no mixed-up letters).

 

Also, I kind of like the name Chuckalah to be honest Naamah. It sounds legendary in my opinion.

[rachiee]

I picked up Bamziy and Warthis, two decently-named, LE, basic pets in the pound a while back and I can safely say that those were my best pound grabs- ever. Especially Bamziy, because I adopted him with 32 HP and as a level 7 pet. I'll probably brag about adopting those two pets for as long as I live :P

[khaos]

From the pound? Wow, lucky. :P

 

Anyways, I'm listening to this song that says crap. Whenever it says crap (I keep replaying it) my mom goes, "Javier..!" even though I have permission to say that word. -.-

[Naamah D.]

I had a bus driver who said crap more than anyone I've ever met. He would be all "(name)!(name)!sit in yo seat(name)!You hear me????!!!! Now I'm sick of that crap! Thank you!

[rachiee]

Yup! :)

In other news, the homecoming dance is a week from tomorrow and I don't know if I want to go or not. I doubt any of my friends will be going (as they generally tend to avoid big social events like that), but I do want to ask this one guy to go- like, just as friends. Nothing romantic or anything.

However, he goes to another school and I'd have to fill out a form if I'm considering bringing someone from another school to go with me. Also, there's always the chance that he doesn't want to go with me. :|

 

*slowly and awkwardly walks away*

[khaos]

*drags you back*

 

Honestly Rach, I can't think of advice for that, other than Good Luck. Sorry. :/

 

There is this kid named luis who is in 7th or 8th grade, HE curses so much. He'd be like, "Aww, (badword) im so (badword) retarded, I left my (badword) book at my house. I'm such a (badword)."

 

Thre is another kid named Luis in my grade, and he curses a bit, too. Like, I'm looking for a spork (:P) and he is rummaging thru the storage boxes from school, and he finds a spork. He goes, "Hey, they're right here. Use your eyes, dumb(a-word)" and he pushes me to the ground for no reason?

 

He bullies one of my closest friends, her friend, and another of my friends.

 

Like one time, I'm going to my locker, and:

 

Me: "Hey Luis, what's up?"

 

Luis: "Shut up I hate you."

 

Me: "Waitwut"

 

Seriously?

[rachiee]

Oh, it's okay. I wasn't expecting anyone to say anything lol :P

When I was in grade 6, the 5th graders cussed a lot more than I did. I found that kind of shocking. I never actually said any bad words back then, I just used them in my stories. *shrug*

...

Well anyway, some people are just mean for the sake of being mean. I've been hurt by too many people like that. It's kinda stopped now, but it went on for two or three years.

And usually if some really mean person puts a kid through hell, they'll never realise they hurt someone so much and they'll never be sorry. I learned that the hard way. :|

Schools say that they don't tolerate bullys, and will find you like a :ph34r:,but they don't. But all jokes aside it is a serious matter, that is out of control, and the bullied person is scared to "tell on" the bully, in fears of being called a snitch, so he has to accept it.

[khaos]

you found out by being put through hell, or by putting someone through hell? Im guessing the first one.

[rachiee]

@48066: I think you just described my old middle school's policy on bullying. They claim to have a "zero tolerance" policy (and they even implemented this fancy-schmancy anti-bullying program) yet it's ineffective and the principals and guidance staff just continue sitting on their arses, sticking their fingers in their ears and saying "lalalala" and pretending like nothing even happened.

Even if I did try and tell an adult that someone was bullying/harassing me, the bullies would get away with not even a slap on the wrist. -_-

 

And yes, the first one.

[The Meepit Commando]

you found out by being put through hell, or by putting someone through hell? Im guessing the first one.

 

 

If your talking to me, than both, I used to be super mean to others in 4th grade, than this kid started bullying me, I felt miserable, so I apologized to everyone I made fun of, and try super hard to be kind to everyone. ^_^

[khaos]

Ouch. What did they do to you, Rach, and when was it?

 

I dont think I've ever been bullied that much, but I have been bulyied a lot.

 

Yeah, my school always said they had an anti-bullying policy, but they never did anything about it. :/

[The Meepit Commando]

I dont think I've ever been bullied that much, but I have been bulyied a lot.

 

 

so did you get bullied alot or not :P

 

oh and it's exactly like that, it's supposedly a zero-tolerance policy.

[rachiee]

It's kind of a long story, and I never open up to anyone about these types of things but I will anyway. It's been left unsaid for too long.

 

In grade 5, I was that shy, sensitive girl who was antisocial, a loner, a misfit and had quite a bit of a temper. About...oh, 60-90% of the grade really loved to watch me fly off the handle about anything and everything. They took pleasure in that and...I just let them get to me. I was only 10 at the time and had no idea to deal with it, and I lost even my most distant friends in the process. I can't even count how many times I came home crying hysterically, how many times I wanted to die or how many times I cried myself to sleep. I've never felt any worse than that in my life.

Honestly, I'll never be able to live my temper tantrums down, even though I'm pretty sure everyone forgot about that. A few of my friends do bring it up sometimes, and I wish they didn't because it's kind of a sensitive subject for me and I can only assume they've never been hurt as much as I have. They were smart and strong enough not to let other people get to them. Grade 5 was definitely my roughest year.

In the first half of grade 6, I went through a phase where I pretended to not let everyone get to me as much and I pretended not to care about what everyone thought/said about me. I took it too far and did/said a lot of stuff that I regret. Basically, I pretended to be a lot of things that I knew I wasn't. I never knew how much I regretted that and how much it affected me until now.

I let people get to me and let me do embarrassing things. That's one of my biggest regrets, ever.

The good thing was, everyone pretty much forgot about everything I did during that frame of time by the time the second half of that year came.

In grade 7, things started to get a little bit better, but it the bullying didn't come to a stop. I was verbally (and sometimes even physically) harassed quite frequently by a few kids in my art class, a few kids in my gym class and a girl on my bus (who was also in my art and gym classes). I was also borderline sexually harassed (for lack of a better term) several times by a few kids who sat at the table behind my friends at lunch.

And by grade 8 it started to die down. Yes, I'm sure that there were still people spreading rumours about me for a little while, saying mean stuff behind my back and trying to make me mad from time to time, but for the most part no one was messing with me as bad as they were in grade 5.

 

Now, here I am in grade 9 and no one messes with me. I never thought I'd say this, but everything is pretty much better. This is probably gonna sound really cliche, but I have gotten a lot stronger and I've learned so much from being put through all this crap.

[The Meepit Commando]

sounds rough, I would be posting 1000 ways I could relate to this by now, but I can't TBH, and, really sorry you had to go through that.

[khaos]

I know how you feel, Rach.

 

I had the same problem in late 5th grade and even now, but at least I have friends to back me up whenever it happens.

 

I've had so many things that were putting a knot in my stomach for the past YEAR or so, and it's starting to hurt.

I remember possibly the saddest moment in my life that still punches me in the gut. If there was any moment in my life I could redo, it would be that moment. I have, like, no one to talk to about any of this, so i got my 3rd - 4th grade "diary" sort of thing and wrote like 4 pages on it.

 

I always think that the person associated with that moment will still hold it against me, because they torture me in all kinds of ways. It's mainly verbal, though. And it's not insults or anything, its telling things that put my stomach in a knot.

She knows she can get anything out of me because I like her, and she just does it to get my secrets out to tell other people. Like one time, I told her something and she promised not to tell, and then 20 seconds later she had told everyone in the class.

I hate it so much.

 

I really can't decide what to do anymore.

 

Anyone, don't give me that "Grow up," "Get over it," "It'll happen in life," crap. I don't want to hear it.

[The Meepit Commando]

People are bad at keeping secrets, srsly if someone tells a friend a secret, half the school knows by the end of the day. o.O

[khaos]

I know. -_- I used to be a big secret-teller myself, but I got over it. I can keep secrets.

 

That's kinda the reason I keep my secrets to myself, or sometimes share them here, because TBH, people treat me better here than in real life. I also know that anyone here can't tell anyone of my friends. :rolleyes_anim:

[rachiee]

I try and avoid telling my secrets to most people because I have trust issues with nearly everyone. I can barely even trust my own parents sometimes. :|

There are only one or two people (IRL) out of six billion others in this world that I can trust with just about everything.

I have told some more minor and [usually] less-important secrets to some of my other friends and not just those two that I invest all my trust in just to get it off my chest.

[The Meepit Commando]

True, I guess xD, also i agree, people here are generally kinder that school people.

 

 

I can barely even trust my own parents sometimes. :|

 

that's not good... :guiltysmiley:

[khaos]

I could trust people with my secrets, I'm just REALLY uncomfortable talking about them.

 

I'm being honest. I never tell my parents my secrets. :guiltysmiley: Mainly because I'll get into a HUUUUUGE lecture.

same, shame on me tbh, but parents give you this feeling that they will record everything you say and upload it online.
