Name calling: Words do not sound too offensive, but chances are there is someone else feeling as insecure as you are at the moment that does take these insults seriously and can destroy their confidence. It does not matter what you label someone it is the power of the words that can shatter a person mentally. Why try to live your life being sadistic? I believe that if you are one of these people who like to make an easy target’s life a misery then you are not any better than them. What goes around comes around.
Rumour: It is the news that spreads as fast as the speed of sound. Like the game Chinese whispers. Anything can get blown out of proportion and can cause a lot of upset to know the whole neighbourhoods been discussing your private affairs and to top it off half is a big fat lie. The sad pathetic people who obviously have too much time on their hands may make up this to occupy themselves for an afternoon. While like before they try to make themselves feel better by ruining someone else’s time. Reputations from a huge lie are so hard to remove and you stop to think about how silly the whole story was and live your life trying to ignore it. But the sad losers who talk about it two years after show just how pathetic they really are. If you are a gossip try and think how it can affect others. Just think someone might start a rumour to get you back.
Image: You have a crush on your mate right. He’s the one who wears his hooded top with the heavy metal logo on it in class. He’s also the one who is also rude to teachers because of his punk attitude. His backpack covered in mini badges with band names and little attitude sayings on them, also patches attached by safety pins. He listens to his loud music in class and brings in his rock magazines for them to get confiscated and he dyes his hair black. Now to me he only seemed to become this over the past year or so. I mean yeah he may have loved the music before but to see someone turn into the stereotypical rock fan makes me wonder is it just temporary. Then to see a girl who is obviously trying too hard to impress him, customises her bag, wears punky fashion necklaces, raves on about the latest pop-punk music and hangs on his every word. And to think she was this normal girl with a good individual image now conforming just so he can like her. No he probably doesn’t like her now she has reinvented herself so never ever change yourself for a boy. Be your own person because if he fancies the faker then he doesn’t like the real you.
Possessions: “You copycat bitch. You bought the same bag/coat/shoes etc”. Now just think about it. You are a teenager, you buy from fashion shops. A shop usually stocks many items of this description. Just because two people have the same taste and end up wearing exactly the same it is our competitiveness that makes us angry. If that girl looks better than you in that top then who cares you probably look good too but are not confident enough to realise.
Friendships: People make and break friends all the time. It is the way relationships evolve. You can be speaking one day then not the next. You change your best friend as many times as you have hot dinners. So why do you insist on sticking to the one friend? Why be so fickle as to drop this so called “best bud” when it feels convenient for you? You can grow apart interact with others but to give a lame excuse as to why you aren’t speaking to them any more is just immoral. Why walk all over someone when it suits you. Charming the pants off someone to get your own way is obviously what you do best and do not accept responsibility for your actions. If you want to get anywhere in life you need a steady friendship with a circle of friends who you can trust and rely on. If you are being your own worst enemy by using people no one will be there for you in future because they will have discovered the true you. And users are ugly. Just because you are popular and two faced do you want to be so selfish?
Jealousy: It all boils down to the fact that she is in all the higher classes because she has been predicted to pass all of her exams. She is tall, attractive, self-confident and loves a laugh with her girl friends. Only the G grade girl wants to make sure she does not get her A’s and B’s so she wants to make school a misery. Trying to charm her way into making people fall out with her and bully her. If you are the one who is bullying rather than helping yourself get better grades shows how thick you really are. She is way too intelligent to stoop down to your level. Chances are she will ignore it and let you carry on looking like the clown. Those fakers who really want to be your friend will only name call too because if more people try to knock someone’s confidence than the clever girl will fail and they can feel better about themselves.
Selfish: Sounds to me like all I hear from this girl is “I, I, I” and “me, me, me”. I know she gets more allowance she lives in a posh house and is a real brat. She can be a really nice person when you get to know her but only you wish she would care about others a bit more often. If you do respect others then it will help you make more friends and give you people to share things with.
The outcast: I know a clever girl who makes me laugh and I have grown very close to recently. Only I get “Is this your new best mate?” all the time. I like her we help each other feel better about ourselves and enjoy the times that we have fun. Now she is the one that people most like to avoid, the different girl. The girl with the glasses who gets grade A’s on her work without studying and the one who is in all the higher classes. The only thing wrong is that she has messy hair she is stick thin, has less expensive and sometimes dirty clothes. She also has a thing for card games and that is what she likes to talk about. So what if she is like this, there is always deep inside a wonderful person and you should learn to put your differences aside to get along with people. Life is way to short to pick on the ‘geeks’ because in someone else’s eyes you may not be perfect either.
