What are your thoughts on bullying?
I hate it. I was a victim for pretty much half my school life, for various reasons that weren't completely my fault. You are made to feel inferior, and often feel lonely and depressed. In hindsight though, it has taught me to not show fear or surprise, since that often brought a wave of remarks in my direction, and it has made me sensitive to criticism.
Why do you think they do it?
To feel better about themselves, watching someone else get crushed, or they've got life and nothing better to do.
Do you think cyber bullying sometimes goes too far?
It depends on the situation. Using the internet to bully someone that you know irl to keep your identity anonymous is just cowardly and underhand. If you've got a problem with someone, talk it out, don't make it worse by spreading it all over the internet, where anyone can see. I don't see how it could go too far though.
Have you ever participated in any bullying activites?
Once, when I couldn't handle it anymore, I took out my rage on a girl in my class. Said some pretty mean stuff, I'll admit, though a good chunk of it was true (like the fact that she's got no friends, and the only person that she hangs out with does so out of pity).
If so, do you feel guilty about what you did?
Yes, though only a bit. She ended up crying so much she got an asthma attack, and I got a weeks worth of detention.
