I´m sorry, when did Teachers = Police become a reality? CALL. THE. POLICE.Trezu said:
That´s what i would do.
Humans have an inherent philosophy of "It's ok if it's not happening to me" to help sort of explain why you feel people are always find enjoyment from someone else's pain. Schadenfreude. Look it up.
Also, can I just ask how old you are? Because in all honesty this sounds like a 12 year old kid trying to sound deep and meaningful. If I'm wrong I apologize, but I purposely went back and re-read the original post while writing this and it just doesn't seem like the thoughts of someone who's actually had some life experiences and can formulate these opinions for yourself.
ALSO, call me skeptical, but I find it incredibly hard to believe someone put a "sheep carcass" in your locker and then laughed when you vomited. Like I said earlier, if I'm wrong here then I apologize, but this whole post just sounded like you trying to come up with as many awful things to have happened to you so you could complain about the ENTIRE human existence because you know a few people you don't understand.
Just my two cents.
P.S. You may not appreciate your life being speculated as false, but look at it from our perspective. These are pretty radical claims you want us to accept at face value, and you thought no one would question it?

Can you speak Russian? Do you know anything about the reality of a Russian winter? Have you experienced Russian culture? If you just want cold and no spiders, Canada would be a better fit. At least the speak the same language and Canadians are generally nice.Trezu said:
Watch this. It'll help you understand the point of this crazy universe and look at humanity in a very different way. Just make sure to watch it to the end.
Well I would suggest you visit it first before committing to living there. And the history of a place isn't the best reason to live there unless you are going to be a historian.Trezu said:
Also what is up with the random capitalization? Nice, history and country don't need caps.
The bit at the end of The Hogfather which I like:
Imo, people aren't necessarily inherently good or bad, and are often a big mixture of the two. There'll always be something you don't fundamentally get, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, but how you deal with it. Bad things will happen - it's learning how to deflect the blows or get over it.
I can understand the funny side of the prank, but it doesn't mean I'd condone such a thing. I prefer to play pranks on people who also understand the funny side, but then again I don't have to play for dominance in the same way.
As you grow up and move into work, you'll probably find that things are easier on the social front - most people, in my experience, end up getting jobs with similar-minded people. I didn't do so well socially at school, for a few reasons, one of them being I was a lot different from most (Geekdom can do that to you). So there is hope out there ^^
Death: Humans need fantasy to *be* human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers?
Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.
Susan: They're not the same at all.
Death: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet, you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. As if there is some, some rightness in the universe, by which it may be judged.
Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?
Death: You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?

Because if you appear weak then people will step on you it is basic animal instincts, you appear strong or at least seem out of there reach and they might try but if they don't succeed most give up on trying.
In short: The world sucks, deal with it, become a stronger person and look for the positives.
First step is accepting as a wise man once said: "I'm shit, your shit, the entire world's shit"
Also another thing that will help is stop being melodramatic it makes you seem weaker and even if people do feel sorry for you a lot will care too much about the social hierarchy to step in.
People mostly see their bullying as just light hearted teasing (I should know I have done it) or they really don't like you, acting like a coward won't help in either case.

i agree, there are some people, especially teenagers (not prejudice, i myself am a teenager) who just bring shame to the name of humanity and age isn't always a significant factor, i used to attend a tiny branch of the local college and i thought "wow, college people are really smart and mature!" then one day i got stuck in the main college (long story) so i sat in the library and started reading to kill time and a bunch of brain-dead prats swagger in and start making fun of me for reading a book, i found concellation in the fact that they would be the one's emptying my bins when i get a decent job in the future
long story short, people are deuches sometimes, my advice to you would be to complain until someone listens to you, if the teachers don't care, contact the education board and sort this mess out yourself! don't wait for miracles to happen, you make them happen

I wouldn't be so stupendously arrogant to claim to understand the thoughts and reasoning of humanity as a whole. Human beings are so beautifully and chaotically varied in so many ways. Personality, beliefs, principles, loves, hates and so much more. To try and mount an umbrella explanation for the whole of humanity is nothing short of an act of futility.
