My Rant on People, on life... Just MY RANT.

Okay... I'm sick of it.

Every 6 days I have art class, and I sit next to my friend. We sit across from this really mean boy. He calls me goth girl every time he sees me because I wear darker colors (he can't get it through his non-existent brain that I look better in dark colors). And he's called one of my close friends something I won't repeat because I know seven year olds are on this site. Anyways, it was a REALLY bad insult.

I don't have any friends in gym class, which is torture, because everyday I play the role of the-loser-standing-without-a-partner. Some girls think that's a free ticket to mess with me. I got a REALLY bad score in a flexibility test (a seven when 75% of girls in the US could get a 28.) and this really mean girl told everyone in school. I'm lucky I escaped without a mean nickname. Which reminds me...

This group of boys called me "Catlin" in 2rd grade. I went with the whole "ignore it" technique but it didn't work. It continued for 4 years, by then, it had reached the whole grade.

@scarlettsong

How did you earn the nickname "Catlin?"

Finally, in 5th grade, 8 boys ganged up and called me that in front of my mom and my aunt. I tried to fight back, slammed the car door, and told my mom to drive me home. I cried the whole way, and continued to for about an hour. When I finally stopped, my little brother told me "Why are crying? It's not a bad name." It made me cry more. I understand it's not a "bad name", but it was repeated OVER AND OVER. My mom said she would of called the boys' parents, but it wasn't a mean enough nickname to make a big deal about. Five words:
IT. WAS. A. BIG. DEAL.
Recently it's stopped. The boy (no names) who started it felt bad, probably because I was going through a tough time, and claimed that he "was the only one allowed to call me that", since he started it. The others listened, for the most part. And he started apologizing for calling me that every time he said something mean. Now he's stopped and it's almost dropped completely, thank God.

I have to get up early everyday, I have lots of homework, and... gahh, I just needed to rant.

If you've read this far, thank you 😊

@pebblestar-nightclan Post again? I'll tell ya 😊 Running out of space.

pebblestar-nightclan • 21 March 2012 at 10:07 PM

@scarlettsong

Post 😊

bunnyshadow • 21 March 2012 at 10:09 PM

At least it stopped. Maybe he likes you 😱 //shot

@pebblestar-nightclan

I loved cats. Loved them. I did a report on them, and was a total Warrior Cats super-mega-fan. I knew a lot about cat breeds. The name just stuck with some mean boys.

Sorry, I'm being forced to leave 😋

pebblestar-nightclan • 21 March 2012 at 10:12 PM

@scarlettsong

I love cats, but I have never been called anything mean about it. Some people call me "cat lady", but they're my friends and they're only joking. I don't mind.

That's rude of them to say that. People call me ugly all the time, but even my friends won't stick up for me then. My friends are the "prettier" out of our grade. I'm probably one of the most popular girl's best friends, but I'm still not like them.

skylark • 21 March 2012 at 10:16 PM

@scarlettsong

Aww, girl. School won't last forever, thank goodness. Who knows, that guy could be your boyfriend in a couple of years. lol. 😉
Anyhoo, it's good to rant! But it is most important that you imply it is a rant, thus no one is harmed o-o
😋

I guess I'm ranting too, sorry. Anyhoo, bye!

cotton • 21 March 2012 at 10:23 PM

I'm sorry ☹️ That's really mean.

I recently started to wear mascara, like just a little bit, and I wear my regular clothes which (on that day) were jeans, a white tank top, and a pink-blue-purple plaid shirt over it. This kid told me that I looked goth because I was wearing it, and at first it was really funny because I didn't look goth at ALL, but then he started saying it over and over and over again. It really ticked me off. DDDX He stopped today, though. Phew.

Lol, now I started ranting. Sorry! xD

scarlettsong • 22 March 2012 at 8:25 PM

@bunnyshadow , @skylark : XD One of my friends had that theory, too.

@pebblestar-nightclan : I've never been considered "the pretty girl". Yeah, I'm more of a unnoticeable person, though I do have a group of close friends, I just end up being the unlucky one, sometimes. My friends get teased once in a while, too, sometimes, and I help them out and defend them. I don't get teased too much anymore. 😊
Sorry to hear that, though. I've been insulted like that before, and it can really ruin your self-confidence. I'm sorry 'bout that, it's a hurtful insult.

@cotton I wear leather jackets sometimes, and darker colors, and that's what caused it for me. Everytime I'd wear something dark, he'd say to me "Ohhh... I starting to think you weren't goth. Opps. I guess I was wrong." I hated that. Your lucky that it stopped her you. Good luck 😊
That boy in my art class came up with a "system". Be kind to my friend one day, kind to me the other day. Dx It doesn't work.

pebblestar-nightclan • 22 March 2012 at 8:26 PM

@scarlettsong

I still get teased quite often. ☹️ I hate going to school because of it.

cotton • 22 March 2012 at 8:35 PM

@scarlettsong Ugh. That's so annoying! DX

bunnyshadow • 22 March 2012 at 8:37 PM

@scarlettsong Ask your friends to ask him 😱

scarlettsong • 22 March 2012 at 8:54 PM

@pebblestar-nightclan Ahh... I did before, too. But it will always get better, no matter how long it takes.

@cotton Yep. His reputation is basically "rude annoying guy" with the girls in my school. XD

@bunnyshadow Hmmm... maybe xD

dreamer • 22 March 2012 at 10:07 PM

@Scarlettsong Who were the eight boys? (considering I was in that 5th grade class with you I should know, but... I didn't know THAT many people were doing it. o-o)

First off, Cameron is an idiot. I hate him and I don't even know him much at all. I don't think I've ever seen Helen so upset since that day... You obviously know what happened.

Back to the nickname thing, the other boys probably started calling you that because they felt better about themselves. You've heard it before. 😋

I get what you mean, I'm usually the odd one out at P.E. as well. We'll be asked to pick partners for whatever activity, Ruby and I are always the last two people left, so we *need* to partner up.

Trust me Caitlin. Don't listen to these idiots. I think you're pretty. ☹️ Heck, no matter how much you say your life is miserable, I would kill to have a life like yours, no matter what. Thre's just... Too much stress on all of us right now. Everyone. It's hard to tell who belongs and who doesn't, because reputations and such are always changing. It's pretty stupid.

This year changed me, too. I felt like crap last year. But now I think we're starting to find ap lace, and I'm beginning to gain back the rep that I had a few years back. 😊

Just be yourself. People are always going to want to change you, others will want to *be* you. ;]

@scarlettsong
Girl I am so sorry. That is mean and uncalled for.

I get teased about my pale skin all the time because I am not tan. I have been told that I'm so white that I glow in the dark. I don't under stand the hype about tan skin besides I can't help it that I burn instead of tan.

I also get teased when I speak up about Pokemon or any thing considered kiddie shows. I used to not speak up about it but one day I just said to myself enough. So now I am a proud nerd ready to shout out to the world I am.

Life will get better I promise. It may not seem so now but it will just hang in there.

People feel the need to make light of their lives by finding other people with worse lives.

It is pathetic what people will do.

And the worst part is, nothing seems to stop bullying.
