I am honestly getting sick of people around here being the most sarcastic and immature dicks ever and then claiming "I didn't change, I just grew up. You should try it sometime." and stupid things like "Well, my class is more mature than this class", when you OBVIOUSLY have done NO growing up AT ALL. So many people I am friends with at the beginning of this year wouldn't have even JOKINGLY joined the facebook group "I'm nice to the weird kid so when he finally snaps he spares my life" because it basically says "I see a kid that really needs a friend and I just act semi nice to him so if he brings a gun to school I might not die", THAT is changing, you have CHANGED. How pathetic can it possibly get? I am not claiming I am mature at all, I for one like to enjoy what little teenage childhood I have left. I just don't act like I'm some mature person all the time while being the exact opposite of that. How do the people I am talking about not even realize the damage sarcasm does to their victims? I see a couple of people I can name off the top of my head in my own school that sarcasm is a daily torture for them, and everyone acts like it's all hunky freakin' dory with them. When I see this happen I see the pain in their eyes as they just sit there listening to their "friends" bash them in every way possible, and the smiles on their completely oblivious "friends" faces as they say any hurtful comment for a cheap laugh that they will forget in thirty seconds and their victim wont forget for days. ““Sarcasm” comes from a word meaning “to tear flesh, like dogs.” It means to be brutal. Have no mercy. Be vicious. Go for the jugular. Tear flesh the way a dog would.” Is this how a friend treats a friend?

 I've talked with these victims before, I'm not even a target of this pathetic torment and it pisses me off beyond explainable extent when they talk about how they are treated. They all pretty much say "I just put up with it..." and ask me to not try to help. I've offered to be the narc and complain to the principle for these people specifically, so I can take whatever pathetic insults that would come from it instead of that other person, but they deny every time. But don't even DARE say "they know we're just joking" and try to shrug it off like it's no big deal, because news flash, it doesn't matter AT ALL how jokingly you say something, if it is supposed to hurt, it will freaking hurt. And if you are REALLY that blind where you think that it doesn't hurt them at all, then you really need to sit down and THINK. Look into their eyes and see how much it might actually affect them, because if you actually look, I will place my bet on you finding pain you "overlooked" before while you were busy attention whoring yourself to a classroom for some laughs. I say all of this for one specific reason, not to anger anyone, though I have no doubt this WILL anger some people, but because these victims sit here and request that I don't say anything to anyone about them specifically. So I am sitting here and saying this not about a victim specifically, but directed towards the attackers, and the victims in general. Hoping that some of them will realize they are indeed being total douche bags and give a kid a break before this escalates into something far worse, which could have already easily happened, but MAINLY because if this helps even one single victim realize they don't have to take this all the time and say something, I consider this a total success. Please, just even look at how you act, what you say and who you say it to. Does it really hurt them? I bet even if you ask them outright they'd say no, even if does if they didn't read this. Take this entire thing into consideration before belting out another hurtful comment, just blowing it off as fun, please. It doesn't even just stay with sarcasm, ALL kinds of comments.

 

Someone may be wondering why I did this. I do anything for friends, I do anything for people that need it even if they aren't my by definition “friend”. These people need someone to say something. This way will reach so many more people than  just addressing individuals. Efficient and, hopefully, effective.

 

To the victims, I have to say, if a friends asks if it's true, JUST SAY YES. Stop letting them do this crap, if a REAL friend would read this and then ask you, then I believe they will be asking with a sincere reason, wanting to know if you really are hurting. Don't LET yourself be the victim, I am handing you a PERFECT opportunity to say something without offending them, if they truly are a friend, they will understand.
