Going to school, we had to deal with many things growing up. We had to deal with finding a date for the prom. We had to deal with solving that one really hard math problem on our homework. We had to deal with corrupt teachers and peers who let power over their respective classrooms go to their heads.
But probably the worst thing we had to deal with, or face on our own, at least for me anyway...was the plague of bullies.
We all know who they are; those kids who would follow us around, stealing from us, calling us horrible remarks, spreading lies and rumors, punching and kicking us when we didn't deserve it. We've done nothing at all to provoke these people and yet, they throw us around like a bored child with a ragdoll!! What do our peers do in the process? They stand by and watch, or worse, take their side!!!
If we're unfortunate enough to have them on our path home from school, for those of us that walk home, they follow us there and continue their torment. Even outside of the halls of school, we weren't safe!
And if you're like me, there are buttons that they push. Buttons that, when pushed, make all the bile inside us start to churn and poison us. And one day, they push the wrong button, and we get pushed over the edge. If we aren't brave enough to grab them by the shirt, yank them from their desk and throw them to the floor, punch-rushing them within an inch of their lives, we're smart enough to know what to say in a speech that makes THEM feel lower than society makes them.
They have no right. They have no purpose.
And this video is a perfect example of when someone gets pushed too far. Yes, it's from a sitcom, but this sitcom is designed to produce real situations.
Your thoughts are welcome.
