Have you lost your faith in humanity?

[Jaranja]

I'm losing it, very quickly. With all the cases of child rape and murders around here...It just makes you think how so many people in this world can be dicks.

The thing is, most people arent.
Given the chance, most people will do the decent thing.
Its just the 1% who are jerk offs and have to muck it up for the rest of us.

Yes but it's not just the COMPLETE jerks. Alot of people have no respect for their fellow man. If saving one person's life meant losing a toe or something, alot of people wouldn't do it. I would, that's for sure. Hopefully that wont happen too many times though, toes are fun to have!

And before you ask, I did search...and all I found was a topic back from December. Which didn't relate.

OT: I did lose my remaining faith in humanity very recently. I was debating if I should go on homebound, my school's version of home schooling, cause I was having problems at home and school and was losing my temper and cool quicker than I ever had. When I broached the subject with my counselor, she recommended that I not do it, cause it would only harm my record. Apparently my school has to list why a student goes on homebound, and the reason I was going to list would raise a red flag. So, I stayed in school, but I wish I hadn't. It got out that I wanted to go on homebound and the rumor mole begin.

The rumors went from I was pregnant and my bf wasn't the father to I was a lesbian and my lover had broke up with me in front of the entire junior class at an assembly. I fished my way through the rumors and found out about one that near about killed me. One of the rumors was that my bf was secretly having an affair with my ex. I knew that this rumor wasn't complete bs, cause my ex had been acting jumpy around me lately. So, I went digging a little further. Found out that my bf had been up with my ex and that they had been seen going into a hotel room together...well, I went berserk. Then I had my friend Tyler walk up to me and tell me that he was sorry. My worst fear was that he was going to fess up to starting the rumor, cause Tyler is like a brother to me, come to find out that he was gay and it was HIM that went into the hotel room with my ex.

I lost my faith in humanity that day, cause they turned something innocent into something false and hurtful...I also tracked the rumor back to my cousin's bf...let's just say that they aren't dating anymore.

Thats why I'm homeschooled. If I had stayed in regular school, I would have killed myself. Everyday I was beaten up and humiliated in class. I went 2 years without a single friend. Thank whatever deity for homeschool. I soon met friends and have regained my faith in the human race.

I stuck it out, I even went out of my way to smooth things over for my friend when he decided to come out and tell everyone...I felt horrible for accusing my ex for something he didn't do...

Wow that really sucks. Makes me feel like I quit over nothing. I'm glad that you guys at least smoothed things over but that is really bad. I'm not surprised you lost faith in humanity. You know what might help though?

A friend request

Merci for the friend request, and don't feel like you quit for nothing, this is really nothing compared to what I've dealt with in my life...I don't hold anyone to what they choose to do, I would've quit if I gotten beaten up, but I might've gotten kicked out first.

Oh, of course though, I retaliated. I beat the shit out of a few kids there when I was just fed up with it. Through tears I smashed a guy trying to come at me with a knife into the lockers and then his forehead met my knee.

I was lucky though. The day I left for homeschool, was the day 4 people were shot at my old school.

You are one lucky SOB...if a gunfight ever broke out at my school, I would probably be the first to go...people hate me that much...but, hey, I'm used to it...I was never well liked anywhere I went.

Neither was I. I was hated for so long. I love homeschool though. It lets me interact with people with the same interests as me.

I wonder why you were hated though. You seem nice enough to me.

Especially if you have a foot fetish.

Shhh! Keep it down will ya! I mean, yeah...good one.

 

[albrizzzle]

It's a tough subject really. I mean on one hand I have absolutely no faith in anyone ever since i was stabbed in the back by my best friend and the only girl ive ever loved. However, I tend to blame myself for making each of them into the terrible person they became... So inherently it must be a problem with me rather than a problem with every other person in the world. On a separate note, i'd like to blame America and the rise of capitalism/commercialism for the degradation of society. People are so obsessed with working hard to achieve the "American dream" that they rarely take time to give a shit about anyone else... I suppose thats just my personal opinion though, so if you dont like it.... well... tough shizz

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

It's okay. It was just a mis-understanding. *sighs* Want to high-five anyways?

Hmm... No but a friendly wave will do.

I wonder why you were hated though. You seem nice enough to me.

Well, I come from a small town in the middle of nowhere...and you would think I would fit in, well...I didn't. I hated Barbi, played way too many video games, and got into fights everyday. People in my town thought I was the devil and told their kids to stay away from the crazy Volkoff kid. When my dad died, I became depressed and had a even shorter fuse on my temper, I hit someone for looking at me funny and almost broke their jaw, I was in the 6th grade. My mom thought I needed help and put in a psych ward and I was put on anti-depressants, at 11 fucking years old! Maybe 3 months after my dad's death, we moved from our small town to a city 3 counties away and I was promptly released from the psych ward. My mother only made things worse by enrolling in privet school, which I loathed because it was a christian school and I'm atheist. Only good thing that happened there was that I met my best friend, but people still hated me, cause I act differently. It was maybe a year after we moved to the city, we moved to a smaller suburb and I returned to public school where I met one of my other best friends. I started high school and from there things got better.

I am now a senior and am engaged to a wonderful man, who for all the trouble I'm worth, he has stuck by me. I also have the craziest group of friends in the world...and I managed to reconnect with my cousin who goes to school with me. Only real blip in my life is my mother, who hates me cause I remind her of my father...the man she was going to divorce, but died before she could get the chance. But once you get to know me, I really am a good person, I just had a bad childhood experience.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I came close to it a lot. But not quite.

This is because I believe people can change, and there's always at least a few good people in the world who can make a difference.

At least, I hope so.

 

[leviathanmisha]

As soon as the USSR fell, I lost all hope I ever had.

/rolls eyes/ Why do I keep picturing you as a ash-blond with purple eyes and the ability to make Japan get a stomach ache by going, "jiii~"

Cookies for whoever figures out where that came from.

Mabye because I am! (Dun-Dun-Duuun)

Can I just assume you watch Hetalia and give you a digi-cookie?

Yes, yes you can.

Yey, now...where did I stash my cookie jar...? So, can I become one with Russia now???

 

[Maileigh]

I used to have faith, until my best friend became a total *****.

 

[Lord Thodin]

Ok so high school sucks and your life just shifted from ONE best friend to the next. However i lost my faith in humanity once i saw the way religion had affected a friend of mine

Please elaborate, this sounds like a fun story

I hate how religion twists people.

Hah alright as per request here goes nothing. Also note, that Im going to skip to the part where me and this friend have become very close.

Well I was spending the night at his house one night, He lives about 4 towns away so its either that or never hang, anyway the day I arrive is late Friday. I had not seen this person since I had moved away 2 years previously. I was elated to get to stay up late drinkin soda, eating snacks, and playing video games. Well this was exactly what happened until around 10 o'clock PM on saturday. He suggested to me that we should go to bed early. This was strange as this friend of mine is an insomniac all the same as me. I simply asked why and he replied that we have things to do in the morning. I wasn't to psyched about the idea, but hey his house, his rules.

Next morning breaks. I am abruptly awoken at around 8:30 in the morning. This was odd. We never had a designated time to wake up before. I got up, still groggy eyed to see his whole family awake with a bustle of activity. They were all getting dressed up, showering and the girls were doing their hair. I was still in the clothes i fell asleep in. My friend told to me shower quickly and get ready to leave. I was willing but as he rushed me into the bathroom i said "Calm down, god damn....." He was very quick to reprimand me as if i had just struck him. This was odd as well seeing as how he never cared what i said to him normally. Well I showered and put on my clothes. It was some black T-shirt with some skulls on it or something. A black pullover hoodie and some blue jeans.

When i exited his room to get some breakfast, like the rest of his family they all gazed at me as if I were Hitler in the flesh. I kinda shrugged it off, but all the stares were staring to get at me. I sat down to receive my helping of pancakes. After his Mother was seated i reached for a fork and my hand was quickly slapped away by my friend. I stared at him with a strange smirk on my lips. He could not have been more serious. So i withdrew my hand and sat there. He quickly took my hand in his, as did his father to the left of me. I was starting to freak out when they all bent over the table and started "praying" about how god gave them this gift. A few times I even chuckled being the staunch Atheist I am. My friend was quick to shoot me some harsh glares, once even punching me in the arm.

At this point I am very mad, and confused. Well to save time Ill just say without me knowing we were heading off to church. Once there I saw why they had all stared at me during breakfast. Apparently black is NOT what to wear to church on sundays. Well I proceeded in along with him and his family not wanting to cause a fuss. Once inside, everyone was settled and the sermon began. The entire area reeked of old people. Well the guy did his whole "god is great thing" and midway through he started talking about how "You need to improve your walk with Jesus." Well this was nothing short of ludicrous to me, so i out right laughed. It was loud, and echoed through out the large church. I caught harsh, stern, and down right pissed off glares from everyone except the Pastor-man himself. He looked as if there was no possible reason to laugh at that. My friend grabbed my arm, and led me out to the lobby. Its a good time to mention that back when we saw each other every day we usually joked about the idiocy of church and religion period. Well once in the Lobby he whisper yelled "What the hell is wrong with you?!" I was awestruck. He had become what he used to hate. He had become a religious zealot. I was quick to respond with "Wrong with me?! Your the one dressed to wake up every morning to be lectured by a dude talking about some dead jewish guy." He snorted through his nose, and i could tell he almost was ready to strike me. Well I spent the rest of the morning in the lobby and waited for them to take us back home. Once there I sat in his room.

He came back in about 20 minutes later and informed me that he had called my parents and they were on the way to take me home. He asked me not to come back over until i respected god as he did. That if i couldnt do that, then i shouldnt bother coming back at all. I was crushed, and its been that way ever since. I lost my best friend because i wouldnt love a god.

How z'at?

Yes, you may become one with Russia. What type of cookie is it though?

What kind of cookie do you want...my cookie jar has many different types, Oreo is most common from me...and yey! I've always wanted to become one with Russia.

Well I'm glad everything is sorted out. Sorry you had such a rough time in school and sorry to hear about your dad.

I don't know what I'd do if my dad died. I'd either go into a state of total depression that would most likely end up in suicide or I'd turn aggressive and most likely kill someone else.

And sorry to hear your mother disowned you. Jesus christ after all you've been through, you are soul proof that good still exists in humanity. That even in the worst circumstances, you maintained your sanity and lived to be a wonderful human being.
