Oh please. I was everyone's 'worst roommate ever.'

After reading this article at just before 6:00 in the morning after a night of being awake and writing and trying to go to sleep, I decided to play the second video. About the middle of the way through, my very large, very loud, 74 lb lab/pitt bull mix started barking and howling in the front room.

There are some shitty therapists out there, no doubt. But some people go into the field because they genuienly want to help other people. Sorry, I get defensive when people say "oh you just pretend like you care because that's your job." I happen to like helping others go through difficult times and happen to get…

I need therapy for my aversion to therapists. The idea of going back to therapy makes my skin crawl. I don't like having personal conversations with total strangers who are trained to act like they give a shit, and whose handling of the information you give them centers around a philosophy or theory they buy in to. I…

The thing is, though, in this country it absolutely is. Classism is alive and well in 21st century America and you will ABSOLUTELY be judged for being on the low end of the spectrum.

Goddamn Shakira...I loved you when you had black hair and weren't a freakin sell out. I mean, donde estan los ladrones you know what i mean?

Have you ever walked in a city in sandals? Your feet will get NASTY.

This is me every single day of my life thus far.

That penis is horrifying.

slick metal shoes + sweaty feet = broken ankles.

This so much.

I don't see anything about only children. As usual, we are freaks who don't count! :-) A date of mine recently told me only children are all kinds of messed up. Thanks, dude. Maybe I learned to think independently? I think there are benefits...

Where the fuck are the adults? The teachers, counselors, parents, neighbors, relatives, authority figures... WHERE ARE THEY? Kids shouldn't be expected to take years of prolonged abuse in order to get revenge 20 years down the line.

Nah. Nope. Nuh-uh. While revenge can be a very powerful motivator, telling kids that it's okay to be sadistic and vindictive in the future is sort of ass-backwards.

Thirty odd years after leaving junior high, where the worst of my bullying was endured, I don't think about the bullies much. Of course I wanted revenge and obviously I wanted to see them suffer at the time and all the petty mental noise that this video represents, the "someday I'll show you all!" line. But for all…

When I was younger, I dreamt of someday gloating to my former bullies about my success.
So I worked hard for decades, and racked up the excellent grades, accolades, skills, and degrees. Except now I can't even get a job, let alone a good one, because it turns out that the people who bully fat girls in school because…

"How can we help kids being bullied?"

Yeah, not if you go to school with a lot of rich kids. They'll get into amazing colleges despite their subpar grades and general fuckery, and then go on to make more money than you ever will. To be happy, you have to let the idea of karma go. Terrible people go on to have bright futures too.

Plus doesn't it kind of tell kids "Don't worry, when you're an adult you can be an asshole to people you think probably were bullies when they were kids"? Isn't this the same mindset that, for example, angry mannerds use when they harass women cosplayers? "They're the kind of women who would have rejected me in high…

I'm the daughter of someone who was bullied as a kid, and this kind of message really only creates entitlement to bully other people. There's that sense of "I sucked it up, so can you", "Don't be so sensitive, I've experienced worse." mentality that created a pretty hostile environment for me and my sister when we…
