2nd principal's dialogue
Today we had a dialogue with the principal, Dr Hon about the topic of bullying. We've heard many interesting yet disturbing accounts of bullies and victims. One disturbing account is from Philman(sorry if i got his name wrong), about the on-going "war" between him an his classmates. Yes, it can be said that we are sadists to laugh at something as grave as bullying, but the way the people put it... we can't help but laugh. We also heard one idiot using Dr Hon's name to cite an example. He even called Dr Hon a 肥人!!! As Hwa Chong gentlemen, I feel that we should respect our elders, especially Dr Hon, example or no example. We also heard one confession made by the chairman of the dialogue about him being an "unintentional bully."Well, I too have a confession to make, although this is not bullying, its just the "victim" being too sensitive. Let me tell you what really happened...
There was this guy in my class who sucks up to my teachers alot. In front of the teachers, he is the perfect student, behind the teachers, he is the perfect demon. In front of the teachers, he calls himself "nerd", in front of us, he calls himself "emo". All og us hate him and he is a cast out...a "lone ranger". But I think he is downright gay. He feigns colour-blindness just to gain sympathy and cries whenever he gets into trouble.(This is just the tip of the iceberg!!)
So one day, when his Mont Blanc pen goes missing, he blindly accused ME of stealing it! ME!!!
All I did was call him "nerd" (trust me, there are lots more words I wish to call him) and he went crying to his mother!!
Now, you tell me...is this bullying...?
(up till now he still blames me)
