Bullying has been around since the beginning of time (well I’m sure it has and I’m a cool guy so just trust me on this, I mean it’s not like there hasn’t always been some douche who thinks kicking someone while they’re down is a good thing).
The original bullying no doubt went along the lines of *Wobble wobble!* *Wobble Squish wobble* due to us being quite simple life forms (I’m looking at this by means of evolution and such, not creationism by the way, so yeah, don’t go givin’ me no hate bout my, lack of, belief yeah (attempt at gangster lexis, success)).
At this stage maybe we had enough mental capacity for arguments or maybe not, but in any case we evolved and began to make our way to the land and begin to change into what we are now. Bullying would have definitely been around when we reached the stage of land dweller or advanced water dweller. No matter what mind set the animal has there will always be rivalry between them, this generally can be narrowed down to either a conflict to determine strength and such to show leadership potential.
This is no different from that of school bullying and bullying in the workplace. The general reason (yes I’m generalising, so sue me) is that a hierarchy must exist for people and animals to coexist with each other. Without such a hierarchy in place chaos would ensue as there would be no equilibrium between the various people and everyone would fight so as to figure out who would lead the pack.
By having these standards set people can move on with their lives without the fear that something will dramatically change repeatedly through the day, though indeed it still could through certain ridiculous occurrences.
Bullying is a brutal piece of life that is rarely missed however the good news is that most bullying is not life threatening or distressing enough to affect later life for the person on the receiving end. Bullies are bad people, be that from them just general having a screw loose in their large thuggish heads, or if they have had a ‘bad childhood’ (oh dear raptor jesus I hate it when people use this excuse for children who are just general brats, maybe the reason they are mini arseholes is because they are actually just arseholes instead of not being able to deal with their pet fly drowning).
I hate bullies, I always have, though sometimes I have turned into one involuntarily, if you are true to yourself you will no doubt realise that you have done the same thing at some point in your life, whether it’s a case of you purposefully being very mean to someone else, if you were going along with a very long standing joke between friends and it went too far or even if you did it for good reasons.
I personally have done all of the above and for the record I’m not proud of it. I’ve been mean to someone for quite a long time, for good reason might I add (not that it makes it that much better) as they had picked on a friend for no good reason. I’ve taken a joke too far, pushing the limits of what was just a simple practical joke to the dark place that exists at the end of any choice.
In the end however bullying is bullying and it will always lead to something bad, or worse.
So when it comes down to it, try not too, I know it can be hard but you wil feel better later, maybe not today, maybe not in a year but at some point you will look back and feel good about that time you left someone be.
