[darker than black]

I don't know about anyone else, but I've certainly seen a lot of things like this going on everyday, whether it is at work or at school.

From my experience, quiet/untalktive/soft (sensitive, shy, socially avoidant) people always get picked on, laughed at..secretly..

People always say some about them, or do something intentionally to hurt them or "play around w/ them", cuz they know they won't fight back or do anything else, they just take it, what ever it may be.

I don't understand why is the world so cruel at times, seriously, are we all born greedy and selfish? Do all we really cares about at times of delimma is ourselfs, do we take someone else's suffering for pleasure? "Oh, we're just joking" "don't take it so seriously" But they laught behind their back, and they don't know what kind of impact they're made on their victims. Yeah..its all just for fun...well..you know what..thats BS..Is it fun? to not know how crappy you've made their day, plus whatever other troubles they may be going through. HAHAHA, that was SO funny, DID you see his/her reaction..Let's do it again.

If you see someone like this, would you do the same thing, have you ever done something like this?

[BU_RP]

did you get picked on or something?
where i go to school, everyone seems mature enough not to do those things anymore.
Seems like elementary kids. And yeah, i do believe we were all born greedy and selfish.
Maybe the shy quiet kids should learn to open up more?

[한스 ㅋㅋ]

Yeah, gotta agree that shy people gets picked on the most.
They get picked on because they are weak, Why would you bully someone who can fight you back?

If you have a choice to fight someone, you obviously wouldn't fight a guy knowing that you will lose against him.
Same in here, why would you bully someone who can fight you back?

You know, everyone is different. Some likes to bully, some don't.
Even though I consider myself as kind of a rebel little bit, but I don't bully people. SOme people is like that
And some is just a rebel and bullies everyone.

And This world is About ME, not US and THEM. At the end of the day, if it makes you happy, then you do it. Why Would you care about other people? not like you know them.
Some people just have the "I don't give the damn" Attitude.
They don't care what people think of them, they don't care about people as well.

So I guess that's what made these bullies lol.

[joie.de.vivre]

i'm quite sensitive/shy/quiet/perhaps even socially awkward sometimes, and i feel taken advantage of sometimes.
it's not outright bullying, but i've experienced people ignoring me, excluding me, leaving me out of weekend plans, talking over me and being tactless mini coopers on occasion towards me

but, senior year has been a lot better than middle school/ the beginning of high school probably because i've gotten more confident/respected in general

i like to believe people have the capacity to be good/ kind towards others, but sometimes they just don't think before they act.
and i would never do the hurtful things people have done to me in the past to anyone, especially those who are quiet/shy/emotionally sensitive.

though, i'd like to see the people who taunted me in the past punished justly somehow. they've made me a lot more cyncial and snarky (and bitter) than i remember i used to be.

[ketchup?]

I have never, nor will I ever, take advantage of someone like that. I was raised better than that. People these days are just succumbing more and more to ignorance, it's pathetic.

[jincx]

yes, i think i've been taken advantage of in the past, especially in school, but that happened because i let it happened...now, if i were to take advantage of those who are unsociable, quiet, and emotional, i would hate myself forever...i'm at the point in my life where i'm old enough to be responsible and respectful towards everyone regardless of gender, age, and race...so, yeah...some people these days are just too immature and stoopid to realize how much their actions can hurt others...but, i still believe that those people will later come to realize their mistakes....

[scatter_me]

People just like to take advantage because they can't pick on other people. They want to look 'big' by doing it.

[Blu_Velvet_Sea]

I would never.

But yeah, there's always going to be some people who are like that and some not. Yea, yea stating the obvious. So why do they behave this way? Why so mean? Why so immature? It's the environment they grew up in; the people they grew up with, the experiences they went through that have shaped them to be that way. It's unfortunate some people didn't grow up with great role models or a good living or school environment.

Anyway everyone has their own life lessons. Things happen for a reason. Those quiet people should take this opportunity to stand up for themselves and make a change. People who are immature like that may never change. But the quiet and shy ones do have a better chance at changing to becoming a better person. People like you are ones who can help step in and do something, or give them a talk to encourage them to stand up for themselves.

[judeism]

Of course not. Won't do something like that, but you know, I also believe that these quiet ones are the most dangerous. Ok I should shut up.

[jbigdog123]

Would You Ever Take Advantage Of ..., quiet/unsociable/oversentitve/emotionally soft..etc people?

No I would never do it.

[영원한 사랑]

For me, I treat everyone the same.
I don't like treating people differently because they are quiet or shy or whatever....

[Sasha100]

No, I wouldn't. I would be there friends because they would probably agree and follow with everything I say

[hippiehop]

I don't treat anyone differently unless I personally know them and dislike them.

...I see it happen all the time at my high school n it's really sad...people are such jerks, ask yourself what did those ppl do to deserve this? .. I would never do anything like that to someone, especially since i'm usually the one being taken advantage of .

[AngelsWhisper]

Never. Unfortunately, I am the one being taken advantage of. I'm NOT that naive though, so I won't do anything for them if I knew they're jerks. If they do that to someone I care about, I'd derange their face if I ever see them again
