REBLOG IF YOU’RE A ROLEPLAYER
Ain’t that good but oh well.
I do enjoy the occasional romp through roleplaying land…
William Cane, author of the book “The Art of Kissing,” surveyed over 100,000 people throughout the world about various kissing techniques and preferences and 96 % of the women rated neck kiss at top.
Even as I guy, I say that sounds nice!
I knew this. My ex loved it when I did this, and she loved it even more when I’d gently bite her neck, that would just drive her wild! I think it might have been to do with my canines, they’re somewhat larger than normal. I’d press them into her neck to add a little sharpness to the kiss, and the sounds she’d make… man, I miss that.
Look at this fucking asshole.
Alright now, hold on a second. I kind of agree with this man to a point. I was bullied alot growing up. I can honestly say that. I was bullied because of my demeanor, I was very shy and not all that outgoing as a kid. Also, I was raised differently, I didn’t have T.V. growing up (one of the best parenting decisions my parents ever made, IMO), I was raised to be god fearing and respectful of my elders, not to swear at all, and to never back talk the teachers (at least, not until I got older and understood more). As a result, kids in my school thought I was a pussy, and I couldn’t relate to many of them because of my upbringing. This would often cause me to be singled out by the older kids and the bullies in my own class, and even kids younger than me would pick on me, because they knew I wouldn’t really do much about it.
Now, I would get upset, I would cry at times, and feel pretty down as a result. But, I never had suicidal thoughts, I never wanted to die because of these things, though I was one of the most picked on in my class. Why? Because of the way I was raised and the family I grew up in. My parents had my back, they taught me how to deal with my problems, and that I had to defend myself if I was ever going to get anywhere. I wouldn’t always have them or a teacher or a superior there to defend me, I had to stand up for myself, or I would never have any self confidence, never be able to shake off the blows of life that everyone faces. They taught me there wasn’t anything wrong with me, that I was worth defending myself, that I have a right to be happy and free of persecution for who I was. But, they also taught me that to keep that right, I have the responsibility to defend it, to fight for it if necessary.
So, things slowly changed for me, I slowly stopped being bothered too much by the idiots who tried to keep me down with taunts and insults, who because of they’re situation felt a need to somehow set their dominance over me in order to create a sense of self importance. I learned to shrug it off and not give them any power over me. At times, I had to fight for it though, but I soon found I had an aggressive streak that would come out in these situations. Because of this aggressive streak, people who felt they could berate and beat me into submission soon changed their mind, because they knew if they got into it with me, I was in it for blood. That’s just how I was taught, that if you get into a fight, you draw blood and make them wish they never tried. Because of this, I was bullied a lot less, as people found they’d rather be my friend due to my laid back nature and general desire to just be friends, than be my enemy.
Did I ever stop getting bullied? No. Going into High School, there was a bad lot who tried to pick fights with me, who bullied me, and my aggressive side ended up popping out a couple times in grade 10. I never got into a full blown fight with any of them, but I didn’t back down when pressed. I remember getting pushed into the lockers once by a guy a good foot taller than me, a grade higher, and a reputation for fighting. I ended up pushing him back into the lockers with my hand around his throat and the other raised to smash his face while I stared into his eyes with aggression. The only thing that stayed my hand was a girl named Nikki who got between us and broke it up (I didn’t want to hit her by accident, so I backed down). He never tried to fight me again, though his buddies did try. Still never got into it with them. Probably should have, might’ve save me some trouble in high school.
The point is, you can’t legislate these problems away. There will always be bullies, and there will always be people like me who get bullied because of their nature. Just the way it is. Don’t make it right, but that’s the way it has been throughout history. And a protectionist agenda is never going to fix it. We have to raise our children to understand they have a right to freedom from bullying, that they are worthy of this right, and that to have this right, they have the responsibility to defend it and defend each other from those who would take it away. Making criminals of children who are a product of their environment is not going to fix it, it will only make true criminals out of them, as has been proven time and again by those who get sent to juvy and jails or prisons. And our children will never learn how to defend themselves and their rights. We need to stop being reactive protectionists, and become pro-active independents.
But, we need to give our teachers and students the tools they need to do this. We need to stop this b.s. policy of zero tolerance for fighting that sends home not only the bully but the student who stands his ground. We need give the teachers the power they need to discipline this class and teach them how to use this power. I’m not talking about willow switches and rulers across the backside. We’d never get that to work these days, and I wouldn’t trust today’s teachers with that anyway. I’m talking sending disruptive students home for the day or week, depending on the severity of the case, and they only get that so many times. Three or four times getting sent home, and then they get expelled outright, no fucking around. They get seen on the school property again after being expelled, they get escorted off the premises by security or police. They are not allowed back at that school ever. That would get the point through right quick.
But, in the end, it really comes down to the parents or guardians at home. They need to instill in their children a sense of self worth, and that they are to respect those around them. And that if they don’t, they deserve every beating they earn by being a bully. When their child defends their self from bullying and persecution, they and the teacher need to back them %100, and stop giving him/her shit for beating the snot out of the kid who dared to attack their child in the first place.
You want kids to stop committing suicide and shooting up schools? Give them the self confidence they need to defend themselves without resorting to deadly violence, either on self or others. I mean, is it right to criminalize kids who are still learning right from wrong? And is the bullying going to stop in school? Legislature just fucks everything up more, and is just a reactive bandage on a wound that needs more than bandages. You need to fix the root of the problem before it will ever heal.
