Update: wierd topic + bullying problems

[KaguraOfTheWind]

I know exactly how you feel, I've been there. I was always picked on and held back as much as possible. I hated to hurt people and hated the fact that I could do it so easily. Being really big and strong can feel like a curse sometimes.

The other problem is if you show off the power in some way, people will become afraid of you. That hurts just as much.

I suggest going for football or, as I did, wrestling if you can. They're fun sports with a lot of heavy training. Wrestling was a great stress buster and teams usually become close knit. I'd even hang around and chum with my opponents at tournaments.

Stick to your guns, it's hard but you won't become someone you hate that way. If there are time when it's overwhelming, find some time alone and let it all hang out. Come high school, stick up for yourself a couple of times and nobody will mess with, football/wrestling teams help with that, nobody messes with them.

Well, today was really bad, people were making fun of me, and in Gyum they managed to hit me several times with tennis balls, so, I decided to go and collect the balls outside the fence, and then, when I was walking around they'd chuck one over the fence behind me, and yell "You missed one!" I just got bitter to them, someone told me to pass them a ball, I chucked it in the ball bin and walked away, but otherwise I did well keeping it under control, I was watching "Silent Hill" on my friends laptop in the middle of the hall, with 2 friends, my cousin, and her friend, her friend who I just met today, and I happen to think is rather hot, sat by me, then some guys walked over "Hey it's geek corner!" then called the girl "emu" her real name is.. carrie I think... I don't know but I suppse it was meant to be mean, I feel kinda bad for her, I told her to ignore them...

Hrmm, I have a question.. when we finish the movie tomorrow..... should I make a move on the girl? In your personal opinion, I think she kind of.. .well I'm not sure, but she is nice to me...

hey dont feel bad or alone cuz i have almost the same problem. i am nice most of the time, but every now and then i get so pissed off that i end up either swinging at them or throwing something like a chair at them!! i ended up going to a school that dealt with anger and depression and it really helped. might i suggest u try the same?  

[suburban_lindz]

ask her out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

[Amaraleigh]

Im short, so I dont have this problem, but...What I would do.


Get a punching bag, Take out ALL your aggression before school and after school. It will make you feel alot better.

Or...

If you have paper avalible, If you write the person letters and dont send them, It helps.

Or...

Yell your head off

Good luck!

I think I've fixed the blowing up problem.. working out, it doesn't relieve stress as much as it makes you too sore to even think of hurting someone, no matter how annoying they are

aw your a gentle giant. My best friend was one in high school. What he did was play football, that way he can take out all his anger into tackling. LOL. I also seen big guys like you take boxing because its a sport and you dont get in trouble for it. biggrin Also working out, like lifting weights is good. thats what I do when someone pisses me off and I know I shouldnt get mad at them. I let it go and later when I'm at the gym, its easier for me to workout because of all my frustration. So just find something that will help you ease your frustration.

Bullied because your different it is not right

1) Anger/stress/hyperactivity management-
Outside of purely personally meaningful stuff (for example: SpongeBob and Slurpees are two of the things that will always relax *me*), the two most reliable stress relievers are prayer and heavy exercise.

2) *Too* nice? How do you know?

3) Heck yeah! Ask her out! The worst possible result is getting rejected, and I can absolutely promise that won't kill ya.

Plus, you never know if you have or will meet someone who's really interested in you too, but is afraid to ask *you*...it's worth the risk.
