Le Silence Des Autres

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x604756
'Le Silence Des Autres' means The Silence of Others. This title, in bully victim terms, mean 'No One is Speaking Up For What's Right' Why do people bully? What's the point? How do I stop it? Should I stop it? It seems like these questions are asked every single time someone falls victim. Sometimes, it gets so overwhelming, that it leads to suicide, and who's fault is that? The Bully? The Witnesses? Or The Victim? Teenagers are scared to tell someone, for if they do, the physical and mental torture will increase. Some teenagers parents don't care they will say: 'Oh, it's good for you!' 'It builds character' 'Just try to ignore it' and the one that kills me the most: 'Man.Up.' Take a moth for example, it's plain, it's annoying, no one likes it. Yet, it still does it's everyday duties as a creature of this world. Humans are so judgemental, it's not even funny. Like I said in my other post, I wear wigs, so on Monday I came to school without it and I went straight to math class. As I sat down the, (not racist) black girls in my class were quiet with wide eyes. Then, the leader came into class; god I hate her...She disgusts me and I don't even know her. All of the black  girls laughed at me and I had to sit in front of the class. I ignored it, I really didn't care, I was comfortable with how my hair looks, and the only girl that protected me in class, was my All American Crazy Best Friend, Clarissa(I'll just call her Issa). My mother told me just before I went to school: 'Doodle-bug, if this is how you want to express yourself, go for it because it's all about what makes you comfortable, not how to please others. You can't please the world; someone is going to have to get disappointed at some point!' I took in those words, and I felt like a peacock, stretching out my feathers, testing them for the first time ever, and I felt confidant. What I'm saying is: "Stretch out those dang peacock feathers and strut your stuff with confidence on your shoulders!"

If this is how you want to express yourself, go for it because it's all about what makes you feel comfortable. -Karlyn(my mum)
