There are also always those people who are being ridiculed and taunted because of ethnicity, religion, interests, and/or family and friends. Most of the times, I think that people are simply looking for reasons to taunt others. It's like pointing out someone else's flaws to avoid notice of your own. Though when being a bully, you also stimulate fear amongst your fellow peers.
P.S., it isn't the socs; it's the soces [it acts as a sort of acronym for socials, the popular crowd].ILuvBookz13 wrote:IN REPLY: Very well said, Jess.
It's true, people often demoralize others so that they are entitled to feel better about themselves. It is usually enabled by a rough home life, whereas your parents rarely pay attention to you and abuse you. People who are bad, come from people who are bad.
It's funny how we are entitle to our own religions and interists in the U.S., and yet there are so many people that will abuse that right and consider people that aren't EXACTLY like them dumb or stupid, and bully them. People are cruel, there's no doubt about it.
