Damn, and this shit still happens in high school? I thought that once people got out of middle school, they went through some magical metamorphosis where they suddenly quit being ass-hats.
Anyways, what happened to maturity Mr. Owl? The world will never know. Children (and teens) are the worst creatures on the planet, with very few exceptions, i.e. you.
Anyways, I think that the guy who was mocking you deserved to get pounded by the bigger ape. I think that if he's going to scorn somebody for helping him, then he doesn't deserve any help at all.
That's also my theory on why humanity is worthless. They always take everything for granted.

I would have laughed. Honestly, I would have tried to trip him again as he passed. I think it is funny when people get hurt or are publicly humiliated. Maturity is for douches, and maturity helps the terrorist win. So in turn, you hate America.

Have you ever held the door open for a grown woman, and then when she turns around and calls you sexist your "friends" call you a pussy?

It happens alot to me.....

What's worse is I moved from Alabama to Jefferson City, Missouri. First day of school someone came up and asked me if I fucked my sister.

So I promptly bashed him against the head with a school chair.

What happened to maturity?

Somewhere along the way, society began mistaking maturity for masculinity, or at least the kind of masculinity you see on professional wrestling. Apparently, in this day and age, acting like a 12 year old is enough to be considered mature, and if you ask me, that's a little bit frightening.

Im glad chivalry and maturity are dead. That way not only do I have to do anything but I can also fart in public.

"Some people grow up. Some people just get older"

As a misanthrope I have lost nearly ALL hope for humanity's maturity and self-preservation instincts. As for my maturity, I have found that the best way for me to at least appear mature (to keep the endless drones of mindless fuckwits that inhabit my school) is to form acquaintances in every racial group at my school (because apparently I'm the only person at my school who doesn't care/notice races at my school) so that I have at least one positive opinion about me in most social groups so that most of the idiots stay far away from me. And I maintain a level control over my emotions so that I don't react when a few idiots hurl a volley of mindless insults at me. As for helping others being mature or courteous, the only people I help are those who really need it (like the guy on the bus from what it sounds like), old people (because they have bad enough in most situations), and little kids when they're not acting completely retarded (which is very rare) but I don't help at all if I can see a volley of idiots asking me completely unnecessary questions or hurling even more insults than usual at me with what little knowledge of human psychology and natural social reaction to said actions.

I suppose that the growth of civilisation is a complete coincidence.
It's not as if people survived and thrived by sticking together, not killing each other etc.
You're right, selfishness is the best thing for our species.

Well, today I was on the bus and a guy that tried to get up tripped as the bus started moving, and the guy in across from me (sideways seating) said "haha f**king nice) and I was kinda irritated by that, (I was helping the guy who tripped back up which will lead to what he said next) so anyway I get back in my seat after I helped the guy, and what do you know the guy across frfom me calls me gay, for helping someone up, what happened to maturity, also a while back a kid who badmouthed others was about to get his ass kicked (by someone clearly much stronger) so I tried and succeeded at breaking up a fight nobody else tried to (there were onlookers that I had seen breaking up fights between other people before and it should be noted I didnt like this badmouthing kid either, but to get his ass kicked in a fight against someone clearly stronger, thats unfair) but people all stared at me with that "what the fuck?" look on their faces, It saddens me, even if you dont like/know someone shouldnt you help them in need? I remember when I was young I was always told to "smarten up" or "act more mature" and now that I am in the point of my life where I should be acting mature, it seems I am shunned for it, even by those who TOLD me to act more mature, I dont get people, what happened to maturity?

EDIT: I guess it should be noted, the fight was already well into it and the kid was hurt enough, no need to kick a guy while hes down, I'm sure he learned his lesson considering since then the kid has toned down dramaticaly


Was it like a school bus or a city bus? If it was a school bus then blame it on just being an immature child. If it was a city bus then you should have socked that asshole right in the mouth as you were getting off. If a complete stranger called me gay for helping someone I would have at least said something.... AT LEAST!

PS good for you helping someone, that happens so rarely these days.
Thanks, I know it doesnt happen much maybe thats why I'm being shunned for it

I don't interfere generally unless it affects me or I'm bored. Also if it has to do with chavs, I dislike chavs strongly, luckily chavs are weak pricks who get intimidated easily.
i would disagree with that... generally there is nothing more dangerous that a prick (especially a young one) who has something to prove via violence...
Ahh but usually a lankie one who's a smoker, up against a 6ft 2 guy who works out regularly at the gym (thats a me) well actually I just rely on my look to scare them off, they try to brush it off with some from of muttered insult and then sit down broodily. Serves them right.
lol well im a big guy.. and i just make some small threat with my american accent (i live in scotland) and people think im crazy and walk away... lol

Maturity died. . . .along with Chivalry.
Chivalry's not dead, it's just broken and a lot quieter. Feminism shut it up after men were told that 'women don't need helping. They can help themselves.' So although you can still fiund it on a bus when someone stands up so a lady with a pram can sit down, or on the street where something is dropped and someone helps to pick it up, it's generally not very well accepted, or otherwise found unnecessary.

What are you talking about? Everyone has maturity! Huh huh, maTURDity, huh.

Being serious for a moment, I can confirm that too many people are not becoming mature, responsible citizens. Any chance to make a joke at someone's expence, most teens go for it. When will people understand that being an asshole is going to make them pay in the long run?

Don't people in Canada eat people on buses now or is that just a new fad for Greyhound up there. So shouldn't everyone be thanking you for picking the guy up so they could feast on his delicious meat later?

Your face is immature.

Yes I would had laughed at the guy falling and then helped him up.

Yes maturity is absent in my high school, one can always tell when there is a fight because the all school stampede is a decent giveaway. I am proud to say I only join because running with a large group is fun, but I leave right after I get there.

At my school one is never safe from a "that's what she said", so what we say is carefully filtered before exiting our mouths.

You don't try to help anyone, or you get shit on.

For example, I was at the casino last week, and I saw an elderly lady trying to switch over slot machines, and trying to get into her wheelchair which was unlocked and kept moving underneath her. It looked like she could have gotten very hurt, and a bunch of people were just staring at her. So, I walk up to her, and I asked "Ma'am, would you like some help? Or I could lock your chair for you...", at which point she yelled for security (who were also watching this happen), and they made me leave the vincinty of the lady.

Fuck helping people. They either don't want the help, or will try to get one over on you if you do.
