Welcome to Gaia! ::

Crap that made me so curious but I... will... not... probe...!!!!!!!!!

WAT

=(

*hugrose*

It took me a few reads to understand but...
If I'm understanding right...
*actually not very sure if he's understanding right after Rose's next post but will not probe anymore*

What a b*****d!!!

It's okay to be like that... it's completely natural for your mind to block things out. I was threatened by a thug who was threatening my friend at school once, and I had to write a statement about it... and I kept having brain blanks while I was writing it, and for weeks afterwards...

God, that was such a c**k-up. I was humiliated in front of the entire senior school when the headmaster called us all in to talk about what had happened... and I was the one who got told off, because apparently I'd "hurled abuse" at the thug (because I shouted at him..). I was just like "wtf" while he (headmaster) raved at me. He conveniently ignored the fact that I was too scared to come in to school for days afterwards... and then to come back and have that... it was like a nightmare.

I should mention that the thug was actually an international student, and everyone knew that the reason he was defending him is because international students pay an absurd amount of school fees... but y'know, I guess it doesnt matter what other people thought, since my classmates all turned against me while I was being persecuted...

I'm not a person who gets very close to people or trusts people very easily, and things like that throughout my life have made me that way.

Aw okay, night night =)

Sounds familiar. A friend and I got suspended and yelled at and humiliated after a fight in school, even though the other guy started it by attacking my friend.

The Vice Principal had everything terrible to say about us defending ourselves, but told the police to forgive the aggressor, because he was just having a bad day.

As for Rose, I don't remember much about what happened with myself and my Bio's either, I was there but it's like I just heard a story about it. I tell myself it's better that way, cause it doesn't make me who I am. In that vein, I'm missing a few years of my childhood as well.

Yeah, it's like these institutions just want to save face >___> and they do that by trying to cow the victims - the people who'd make trouble.

The whole situation with me was, we were in the classroom waiting to be dismissed.. we were only about 14 at the time... and the guy, who was four years older than us, stormed in and cornered my friend (who is not really a friend, but there you go) because the guy had ripped part of his (my friend's) uniform earlier and he wanted to stop him from telling the teachers (lol). So yeah, he cornered him and started yelling at him, really up close in his face, and then eventually he hit him and then tried to storm off.

So the rest of the class and me were standing there watching it happen, and all the while I was thinking "what the hell, why isn't someone doing something? this isn't right" - which is something I often think. I have a very hard time just sitting by and letting injustices happen. So I couldnt just let him leave, and I shouted "You b*****d! Leave him alone!" Edit: And only that. How does that count as hurling abuse? >___> rofl

So he turned on me and I shrank back against the wall - I swear, I've never been so scared in my life - but then luckily people seemed to jump to life and two of the boys restrained him until a teacher came.

What happened in the end was the issue of the headmaster's treatment of us, the victims, became more important than what had actually happened, which is stupid, and my friend's parents were threatening to call the police on HIM for trying to pervert the course of justice. So then he called all involved into his office and made us all shake hands with eachother (I swear, that was terrifying, too, being in such close quarters with the thug - I was shaking), thus pretending everything was fixed and fausting the blame off himself.

So yeah, that's one of my tales XDD;
