Just want to say that Bsrk_'s posts were overwhelmingly ignorant, especially coming from somebody who claims to have dealt with hard times.
They sounded like the half baked assumptions of a pre-teen without the slightest capacity for empathy, nor ANY knowledge about the most basic psychological concepts.
But I see you are 24.
Thankfully, your wonderful post showed me that I can call your perspective "pathetic" and urge you to "grow the **** up", as long as I say no offence at some point.
(No offence)
Your apology was very nice, but telling somebody that they're dealing with their problems in a bad way when you don't really know anything about their problems (or how they deal with it!) outside of the very basics is stupid beyond words. All it amounts to is you taking the moral high ground without actually having any ground to stand on. The talk of respect was painfully ironic as well.
Oh and if you really give two ****s about removing the argument you can easily begin by editing out your own posts.
I am disappointed...but remain open to the possibility that the IRL Bsrk_ is very different to the one I'm seeing here. Still disappointed though.
Considering it happened in what year1 and he is now in year10/11, you would assume that he has had plenty of time to overcome his emotions and find a way to have dealt his 'problem'_ Hey i understand that everyone works in their own time but from my experience if you don't straighten it out sooner, then you are left with a very big vulnerability that only leaves you even more susceptible to abuse outside of school and further emotional anguish_
I guess i could have worded it better out of my anger so in short if he doesn't deal with it now then he possibly may never deal with it and cause himself further emotional damage in the future_ Unfortunately once you do get out of school the reality is life isn't any easier or fairer_ I've worked through construction, civil, industrial even mining and mobile/ fixed plant operation and i can tell you that your weaknesses get preyed upon at even the slightest showing_
You have to be tougher and stronger especially emotionally if you plan to continue safely and securely in life and from my experience, relying on others does make you weaker if you are unable to do it yourself_ It starts and ends with you and no-one but you is going to fix your mind_
I do respect the fact that his friend was injured and his story should not have been brought up on the boards by Pete which is rude and selfish on his behalf_ He should have contacted me personally instead of posting his friends traumatic experience on a public forum_ This immediately shows signs of weakness because he is relying on a story to instantly grant him sympathy from me which i can assure you many people won't care for or take advantage of in the work place_
Rather then blaming himself for his friends experience or it's results he should be positive that he attempted to help and may have stopped further injury or even death_ It is bold to defend someone when out numbered and you should look at the positives instead of the negatives and focus on healing and acceptance rather than loathing and regret_
Everyone has there problems, some more than others, and you need to see that life is bigger than you and other people are suffering so much more than you_ Until Pete learns to deal with his issues he is only hiding from himself_ Toby if you still disbelieve me or want me to tell you how i understand his experiences or have experienced worse then feel free to PM me i have no issues talking to anyone who is interested or has any questions_
I hope this better clarified things for you in a more appropriate way_
faces that were after my lines didn't copy through, and regretably, I didn't notice until now. It completely changes the meaning of my sentences. However, I do take great offense at that comment of wanting to cave my face in. I've had problems with physical bullying at school before, and take such matters seriously.
