Problems with Life/Emos and Goths discussion

Okay so I'll start off by saying people have it a lot worse than me. Like I have a good group of friends who I know love me and shit, and they're amazing. However today I came home and almost killed myself. I take Prozac to treat depression, and I googled side effects. It could kill me if I took enough. And I had around 50 pills.

But then I decided to call kids help phone and am so glad I did. But I'd just like to know I'm not alone, like does anyone else have these horrible troubles with 'bullies' (I could think of many other words that aren't quite appropriate :D)? I just really need someone to talk to sometimes :/

I have problems with people always calling me emo and making fun of me and just telling me to go cut myself and teasing me for crap. its soo annoying. like in health class we had to watch somethin on beliumic people and it showed them cutting themselves, well this dude next to me hes like "eww how could you watch this then go and cut urself your such a freak!" im like omigod stfu before i punch you in the face.

I never feel included or accepted or fully good about myself for longer than five seconds at my school. Air Cadets, choir and theater are the only places that I'm accepted for who I am. Even the people who are supposed to be my friends exclude me or make fun of me. My friebd Max is the only one who never does.

I make fun of you as a joke :(

There will always be people who will try to put you down. You just have to not let them get to you. You are stronger and more than the words they speak.

I know that it's just hard when they're always in your face saying something... Even if its a joke it still hurts, I'm sorry KB.

I know exactly what you mean, but you just have to prove to them that you are stronger. And it is extremely difficult when you're the one being made fun of. It's so hard to laugh when you're hurting inside. Words are the most powerful of evils, in my opinion. From a mouth can start a wildfire that could grow out of control or out of a mouth could come praises. You can't control what other's say, but you can control what you say and do. The Lord says that he is a shield to those whose path is blameless, so if you're doing right, you don't have anything to worry about, the Lord will be your protector and will crush your enemies

Umm some people on here are atheist (not me but some are).

Thanks for the apology Cassie. I know this is really blunt (or maybe it's sharp... Lol) but I'm not going to say it's okay because your right it does hurt. I accept the apology but I can't keep doing that and I am NOT your personal punching bag.

Yep Cassie is an atheist so thanks for the words of wisdom but I don't believe in God so that doesn't give me much support. Cassie also talks in third person :)

Yep I know now just tell that to all the other kids in the class and maybe everything will be okay :)

Cassie until you start treating other people kindly they're going to treat you like crap. I try my hardest to treat people nicely and I'm still dirt underneath their shoes to them.

Well the thing is, I'm not going to treat people like Maddy and Joenah nicely. They don't deserve it. They deserve to be in your shoes because they're so horrible to you. And Maddy, despite the fact I was crying a couple Thursdays ago, didn't even admit that she'd done something wrong. I treat most of my friends nicely until they do something stupid (Cough cough Max) but there are just some people who don't deserve the 'lets be friends' treatment.

Deserve it or not I give people that treatment in hopes they'll change.

Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise. ~ Cato


If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion~ The Dalai Lama


The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu's dictum:
"Those who know, do not say;
Those who say, do not know."
When the master entered,
they asked him what the words meant.
Said the master, "Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?"
All of them indicated that they knew.
Then he said, "Put it into words."
All of them were silent.

from One Minute Wisdom by Anthony DeMello


Pay no attention to the faults of others,
things done or left undone by others.
Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.

Those are amazing quotes BBAM. I agree with everyone of them.

Well I'm not gonna lie, I'm not the nicest person. And I've given up hope of them changing, but at I'll be nice to the people I care about.

So I guess I'm not one of those people?

No, I'm going to try to be nice to you from now on because I do care about you believe it or not. Trust me, I can be a very mean person when I want to, like even meaner than I am to you...

I've lived through bullying, its something you will always get, I think its very wrong but you just gotta fight threw,

OOh those reminded me of a quote I heard the other day:
If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, the other person still owns that gift. The same is true of insults and verbal attacks.
-Steve Pavlina

Did you know know in traditional Russia, out of politeness, if you where visiting and you point out something in their home, it was polite to offer it to you. And it was polite for you to decline, and them, even though not wanting to give it up had to make sure you sincerely didn't want it.

This of course does not normally apply anymore, but it's interesting to imagine.

That is interesting to imagine.

Hating life. I'm being chirped like every day and I'm near tears whenever I leave. It's getting to me now, and the insults they're saying aren't just meant to tease. They're my best friends saying these.

I get what you mean Bullet, It happens to me too, Message me if you need to talk x

Sometimes in life we hit a brick wall where nothing seems to go your way and you can't possibly see a way around it. But stay strong. Focus on the truths, you are beautiful, you are special, and you can get through this. I know its difficult, I've faced ridicule and cruel teasing, too. But this is just the right now and in ten years those people won't even matter. You'll be stronger thanks to them. These things do get better. Find some new friends that will care and appreciate you. I know that is especially hard, but it will pay off to be around people you love. The people who are insulting you will face their judgement day, just remember the Lord is a shield for those whose way is blameless.

I get bullied constantly by my friend's and my aquintances as well but I've found someone who makes my problems disappear.

No one can make your problems disappear, they can distract you from them. You're the only one that can make them fully disappear.

Well with them it FEELS like my problems disappeared. That paired with the fact that they've backed down for a bit my problems have disappeared for now.

I was bullied all the way thru highschool and I know where eveyone is coming from. It isnt fun at all. I dont think I had even one friend in my school years. I am 43years old and still think of schoolday even now. So a word of advise to the bullies and their victim. It stays with you and remember the golden rule.
