That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. This is nothing more than projection and a very weak attempt at making an argument. Sure, let's blame the victim because they don't possess the emotional stability and self-awareness enough to keep themselves from being bullied. What a crock of shit.
Excuse me, but I WAS a victim of bullying in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. You want to know what happened when I said something to an adult at school about it? Nothing good. If anything, it made things worse because now those kids really had a reason to go after me. And they did.
I NEVER asked to be bullied. Using a third grader as an example, I can tell you from experience that a child, much less a young one, does not possess enough "self-awareness" and emotional stability to recognize they have issues. Furthermore, what makes you think the victim has issues to begin with?
In my case, we had just moved and I was the "new kid" at school. I was shy and that is what made me an easy target. If you think that being a new kid to school and being shy are "issues" then you lack empathy and compassion.
Again, Victims don't start their day out thinking, hmm... I think I'll go be a victim of bullying today. You're delusional if you think they do.
- You COMPLETELY cut off the point I was making, and the parallel comparison.
- You are responding with the same cut-and-dry instant disregard of this opinion I mentioned.
"Sure, let's blame the victim because they don't possess the emotional stability and self-awareness enough to keep themselves from being bullied. What a crock of shit. "
AND OKAY, DID I EVER SAY LET'S BLAME THE VICTIM? YOU'RE RIGHT WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT YOUR STATEMENT IS, AS IF I EVEN REMOTELY WAS TRYING TO BLAME THE VICTIM.
"Furthermore, what makes you think the victim has issues to begin with? "
NOTHING! I SAID THE OPPOSITE!
"In my case, we had just moved and I was the "new kid" at school. I was shy and that is what made me an easy target. If you think that being a new kid to school and being shy are "issues" then you lack empathy and compassion."
I said that the victim may have issues after the fact, we are talking about after the fact, because they may develop issues [I.E Anxiety, Depression] Because of the abuse.
"Again, Victims don't start their day out thinking, hmm... I think I'll go be a victim of bullying today. You're delusional if you think they do."
What the fuck? HOW MANY TIMES DID I SAY IT IS NOT THE VICTIMS FAULT. WHEN DID I EVER EVEN REMOTELY SAY WHAT YOU JUST ATTEMPTED TO CLAIM I DID.
You are an asshole. You misrepresented me in every SINGLE line of that post, and tried to make it seem like I claimed those ridiculous claims you said.
Goodbye. I refuse to respond any more to someone with that much of disrespect, someone that is so angry they don't even think before typing. Someone who calls me delusional, among other insults for making statements that they conjured up in their head.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
