ericadawn16LiveJournal has been pushing October as Anti-Bullying month because I guess bullying doesn't happen the other eleven months of the year.
I know, I know, it doesn't mean that but it's still a little weird because we can talk about getting rid of bullying, but...
It isn't going to happen and even if it does, something else will come along to make life miserable. Life is a series of good and bad and you have to learn how to deal with that which is why I think there should be more pressure to teach people ways of dealing with those feelings in a positive way and what might work for them.
Now, I was bullied and made fun of a lot in seventh and eighth grade because thirteen year olds are assholes, but I knew I just had to get past middle school and I'd never see them again. Despite being a small town, I haven't seen them since. They picked on me because they had no future and that was their way of dealing with it.
I highly recommend Cameron Crowe's new documentary, Pearl Jam Twenty. Well, it's not for everyone but since I can still remember when Pearl Jam and Nirvana were new and my eldest brother loved them, I loved it. I also love Singles.
