They're mostly just talk. But I'm not a physical person. It would take a lot to get me worked up enough to actually hit someone. I can't stand violence, though granted I have occasions where I want to hit someone... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Joking aside, I would still never hit someone. It would have to take a lot, and I mean a lot. Maybe a life-death situation. I'm not sure. But I've never ever given anyone a good punch. Ever.
Slicer, it's always sad when a kid thinks there is no hope and nobody to help them. Ending one's life is the saddest thing, because there's almost always hope and someone who could help.


It sounds like you run into some bullying even if it's 'mild' compared to others. Sometimes it's a matter of how you perceive things. If you are being physically bullied, it's time to either fight back or get outside help. If it's verbal then perhaps you can outwit them or simply not play their game. Most bullies are cowards and NEED that group around them to make them feel big enough to pick on others. My guess is, if you don't respond, they don't get much fun out of it and go elsewhere. But every situation is different. Just don't let it get to you and be sure to talk to others about it if you need help.
