BULLY! 💀

[Different]

I know that at least 95% of you on JV can relate to this. If you're someone who's experienced the feeling of being BULLIED back in grade school, then you understand just how good it feels when that bully finally gets their receipt. Perhaps one of the most profound and traumatizing moments of your life in grade school, happened when someone used to bully you for whatever reason. It can be devastating to experience this feeling because it puts you in a deep state of depression, and it makes you feel like garbage.

Some where along the line, they've saw something in you that made them feel like they're more dominant and superior than you, so they figured they can press your buttons and you'll do absolutely nothing about it.

You know what I'm talking about. They probably picked a fight with you after school because you were a nerd, they used to stuff you in a locker and shut the door, they used to steal your lunch money because they were malicious, they've made you cry and embarrassed you in front of the school, they laughed at you because you were slow in learning, or even worse... they took your crush away from you because that said crush wanted someone at least 6ft tall or they were better looking.

Man, no one likes to get BULLIED, especially as an adult; it can be very devastating because you grow up traumatized and constantly thinking about your past where you were in a helpless situation and didn't know what to do. You'd even go out of your way to avoid going to school, sometimes because you know that damn BULLY is gonna be there waiting on you. But, I'm sure that a lot of people have felt fantastic when they've found out that that said BULLY has ended up getting murdered for BULLYING them back in grade school.

You know what time it is when that BULLY shows up in your presence; you'll do everything in your power to avoid them because you don't want to deal with them. Subconsciously, you're afraid to deal with them because you're intimidated by their look, attitude, and capabilities. Oh, and if you snitched on them, they'll just beat the living shit outta you after school because they know where you live. It's things like this that prevent people from becoming a better version of themselves. But, when you finally stand up to that BULLY, you'll feel better.

Typically, BULLIES don't believe in the old saying "the pen is mightier than the sword", or outwitting someone with their intellect, oh no. They'd rather assault you, physically because they know they're verbally and mentally defeated, so they feel like they need to result to physical tactics; they'll never pick on someone their own size or taller and stronger than them.

This is why it's important to learn self-defense because your buddies, professors, or even family can't always come to your rescue; you can't expect there to be a safety blanket and run to mommy all the time, whenever things get rough. At some point, you're going to have to learn to deal with those issues before they deteriorate to a more devastating situation.

Oh and don't think that just because you're an adult now, doesn't mean you can't be BULLIED anymore. This can happen at work, college, sporting events, anywhere. You'd be surprised to know how many grown ass men and women are still BULLIED til this very day. Until you learn to deal with it, it'll always taunt you in your nightmares, subconsciously.

So, if you're someone who's gone through anxiety, moved far away, developed mental issues, took drugs, or even considered suicide because you were BULLIED, then please don't be afraid to share your experiences with me below. Hell, I'm not afraid to admit that I was BULLIED back in grade school, too... it's a ****ed up situation.
