You have no idea how i feel right now. This is not the kind of stuff i go around shouting about. Yeah, this is a total off-topic thread, taking advantage over the Space Bar section. I feel comfortable enough here as to tell you my story, so before i tell you what i actually want to, i'll explain to you what i've lived. I'm not using bolds, nor adding any kind of picture. I want this to be a raw as i need it to be.
Since i was 8 years old, i've lived together with a variety of tics (unwanted moves or sounds you can't control) that would appear anytime, anywhere. As to be expected, that seemed to be a good reason for kids to pick on me on school, and i had literally no friends. People would look at me as a "weirdo" when all i had was some strange moves or sounds. They'd make fun of me, put me names, laugh at me or even fight me. Secondary school was the worst time of my life. To give you guys an idea, i planned several times to end my life. You seriously have no idea how bullying can affect you. I really don't know if you ever suffered it, or if you ever practiced it, or if you have a friend that did. I did not want to go to school, i did not want to see anyone of school at any public space. I prayed every night so i didn't found one of them at the movies, or at a soccer match, they'd make fun of me. School time was a real pain: nobody sat with me, everybody threw me stuff, nobody wanted to be my sports partner. Oh dear how could i dare even talk to one of the popular guys, i'd get insulted for even doing so. Imagine, the class' weirdest boy talking to the kid who all the girls where in love with. I was depressed, i had nobody to talk to. I passed through secondary school with a single idea on my mind: finish it. Finish secondary school and finally quit seeing them, quit suffering, begin a "new life".
Luckily, for me, at my 4th year in secondary school i started boxing, and grew up some nice muscles. Yeah, imagine. They never bothered me again. As you may know, bullies are cowards.
The whole point of this thread, and taking advantage we have an off-topic section, is to warn you guys. You must know. If you do nothing, you're part of it. If you ever see a partner under any kind of bullying situation, school, work, sports, please use your voice. Don't let anybody practice any kind of bullying to somebody. If you're a parent, a grandparent, please talk to your kids. In most cases, even mine, kids won't go talk to their parents about it, because they feel ashamed. And the first times they'll lie about it. Insist, help is a must on this situations. If you're a teacher, talk to your students. And if you're bullied, put a stop to it. Talk to somebody than can actually mark a difference. Talk to somebody that can actually give you an answer. Tell your parents, tell a friend, learn a combat sport. It's not too late to solve things. Don't let anybody ruin your moment. You're at school to learn, you're at soccer to play, you're at work to work. Anything that disturbs you must be reported. Don't let anybody step over you. I know there are people on my situation, where i've been. Please, don't stay quiet. Do it for yourself, and do it for everyone who's still troubled about it. Bullying ruined my childhood, and nobody, seriously nobody should live through it. End it now.
I'm leaving you with my signature quote, that represents everything i believe in:
“People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer.” ― Dan Pearce
