Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fladian" data-source="post: 121399" data-attributes="member: 5833">EDIT: Bah... the quote tags don't work.That's funny... I was discussing a somewhat the same subject with someone at work yesterday. He didn't understand how everything changed so much in twenty - thirty years.People stick with the same kind of people. For more than 95%, it's in their nature to go to the people that give them the most comfortable mood and/or similar kind of people like that. You could say popular people and "geeky" ones stick together in that way as well.Someone who is unable to act similar as they are, are quickly looked at with a strange look in the eyes. "You don't belong here."Fact remains that a group, or a crowd needs a leader. There is always one person (sometimes more, but it usually stops with one) that is at the top of the group. If you are able to convince him, or her that you belong to that group, you could get in. Normally spoken.I am no leader; I'm a follower. But when I look at my most recent school year, people would rather say the opposite.Of course it's in your nature. People tend to get jealous when they see something in someone that they want to. They start admiring him because of it, or perhaps dispising. You could say: "I try not to," but why not? One of the three main motivation of me to change to what I am is the personality of someone else. I "admire" someone "cool," so my eyes are only directed that way...If you see something that you do not like about yourself, or try to avoid becoming, you often look down at such people.This all usually happens unintentionally. I can't even start to say who crazily jealous I am on two specific people. ^^Trying to stop someone from being picked on is hard as it is. Despite having the same charastics as a classmate of several classmates of mine that were being "picked and bullied on," I was never really bullied. I didn't know the reason back then, and didn't really care either, but I started to think about it not too long ago. Short afterwards I came to my conclusion, so I didn't give it much other thought.There was someone I know that was being 'dispised,' literally. Those who would stand up for her would probably end up the same, therefore that no one really bothered to try. Understandable as it is; I only regret not having done anything myself.There is no shame in being religious. I just happen not to be for several reasons.I'm familiar with it as well. Racism is quite common out here, but fortunately, I am not from the main one that is discriminated the most. But it still happens, unfortunately. Though I am able to pin it down with most people because of my qualities in my personality.I'd give quite a lot to be "attractive" as well, as I am not really happy with my looks. That's because I learned a long time ago at what kind of people I like to hang out with or girls I'd fall for. My looks are in the way from time to time for that. As for my... good qualities. Well, people may judge about that them selves.Even if someone has the same problem, they wouldn't know it was similar to the one of your own, Falco. For all you may know, I posses the same thing.Depends on the people of that school how accurate that static is. Metal doesn't live here much, as example. It's mostly the hip-hop, R&B and rap that's the big hype out here.Where would I place myself? No where, actually. I don't search the attention of people; let them come to me. I've always placed myself between groups, not completely in a group itself. Considering the fact that I am accepted in just about every group, I don't think I can place myself in a group there.Sure, any time.That's a bit hard for me. Excluding elementery school, I've been in quite well known schools. The high school I was in is quite known throughout the area for having a lot of "trouble makers," and the school I am now has a good reputation. Does that mean I know everyone of there? No, most definitely not. There are more than six big buildings in quite a small area, and I only go to two of them... not too long ago did I saw the third one from the inside for the first time.What you said stopped pretty much for me after my freshman year in High school and all other years of elementery school. Though it's quite logical that doesn't happen in where I am now anyway... considering the fact that I used to be with a married girl in my class and that such things were quite common. When you look at a few classes higher than me and see people of a much younger age than me, it's hard to make a system like that here.I wonder if I'm called old next year like Erik.That just depends on the students them selves. There are more than enough girls and teachers I can't get well with too, but that doesn't mean I always do. There are also those that can't stand me, and I can't stand them... though this mostly counts for teachers only. I tend to act more nice to students. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Or the teacher has to give me a good impression. My home-room teacher of last year and this year (well, my year is over, so he isn't anymore... but oh well) were good guys, both of them. The first one was a bit too naive though, but nice nonetheless. He never won our bets though... but then again, I always lost too.I am familiar with a high number of girls and a lot of people I know are older than me. But like I said earlier, being 'friends' with someone is a big word in my opinion.Well, I guess that's good, now isn't it?</blockquote>
