One of my friends that rides mine and my sister's bus is a bullying victim. The bully is a girl that has picked on both I and my sister since middle school. Both of us have ignored her, however our friend has already had a rough life, not getting along with her family, friends committing suicide etc...
She already has enough trouble in her life, without the rude remarks made by the bullies (All of which are preppy girls in the age rang of 15-17). You might wonder why I'm posting this, after all what happens in my life is not anyone's business but mine, however I feel that I need to share my experiences.
These girls have repeatedly been degrading and hurtful to both I and my group of friends, doing such things as throwing spitballs, half eaten candy, chewed bubble gum at us, and saying things not limited to 'go die would you?' and 'f*ing ugly b*'. I've got high enough self confidence to let it roll of my back... my friends however are not the same.
I'm writing this as away of asking people to be kinder to others, especially thought not limited to people in my age group. I'm simply trying to help others realize that sometimes you need to think before you speak.
I'm not trying to anger anyone so please don't take it personally when I refer to preps in a bad way, I simply haven't had any good experiences with them. They seem to be back stabbers more than anything else in my own experience.
