I, myself, have been on the butt-end of some cruel remarks. But that more or less stopped in 6th grade because no one really cared anymore. Or so I thought. I was in lunch one day sitting with my friend Mary. Our friend Shelby was sitting a couple tables away, and I wanted to say Hi. So I went to her table and said Hi and gave her a hug, then as I was walking away, a kid who I haven't talked to since the last day of school last year says 'Yeah walk away you fat B****.'......Ok.....The next day in zero hour, I say him and I wanted to find out what his problem with me was. But when I went up to talk to him, he walked away like he was scared. This happened two weeks ago. Last night was our Homecoming dance and he was there. The people in my little group called him over and I rolled my eyes and ignored him. Then he looked at me...
And apologized. His reasoning for why he said that to me was that he is just an A**. Which is true, but that isn't a logical reason as to why he would say that. And I just wanted to have a good time, so I said it was forgotten and left it at that. His apology doesn't totally excuse what he said in the SLIGHTEST, but it does put him on the right track.
This little event made me really upset because I didn't understand why he would say something like that to me, without me doing something to him in the first place. It just goes to show that not everyone in the world is like the actors and actresses of Bullycide, and that not everyone thinks the same as we all do. That is one thing I hope this play changes, is the way people talk about each other because they don't realize how bad their words can hurt and sting.
Come and see Bullycide on October 29th, 2010 and the Masonic Temple in Flint, MI. This is a public performance so seats are limited. This will truly change how you see other people.
See it. Hear it. STOP IT.
