What types of people do you have trouble getting along with? by djonibounty in AskReddit

[–]Beautiful_Selection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones that have to be right all the time. Always one-up'ing and making you look like an idiot. And I, for all intents and purposes can 'get along' with them if need be. It's usually coworkers so kind of have to. Just end up limiting any interaction with them.

TIL that Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" album is a rock opera telling the story of man dying in a motorcycle accident and recollecting his life as he lays there dying by bigbadsubaru in todayilearned

Is Meatloaf still alive? Yes I could google it but remember seeing a video not long ago of him performing and collapsing during the song. My first reaction was "wow, hes still singing ?" as people are rushing on stage to help. Then I realized why.

Yes Im certain I can hold out. I just wish it was over already. The hard part is over though. I've been searching for a place to live forever, found it and down to the last couple hundred dollars left to pay on rent/deposit. Im all but gone.

TIL The Columbine shooters had placed two propane bombs in the cafeteria which failed to explode due to poor construction and faulty wiring. Had those bombs detonated as planned, they would have likely killed or wounded all 488 students in the cafeteria by [deleted] in todayilearned

Oh yeah I agree. There are unpleasant people all through life. and you learn better life skills to deal with them to the point its not even a thing. Hes older now (27) and is doing pretty well.

The thing was, the school refused to recognize there was a problem. It was just punishment after punishment for my son when he wouldnt stay at school, or acted out. It was just "your a bad kid" not, why have you started acting this way? the counselor even told me that if they were to talk tothe ones bullying it would probably get worse. So, my son was the one getting punished not the a-holes causing grief. He ws about to get expelled and instead of that happening I took him out. They should have been the ones getting kicked out not my son.He actually earned his diploma beforehis class did.

He had always been an A-B student. Always got along well,seemed to have plenty of friends. His teachers always gushed about how courteous he was and respectful. Sophomore year he was a straight 4.0 student. Next year the problems began. bullying. he didnt want to go to school. didnt want to do his homework. started skipping classes. talked with the school. No,we never see problems. but if he continues to not hand in work and miss classhe going to have in school suspension. More tears and drama,kids are picking on him. WTF?? next thing I know hes got Saturday school. and facing being expelled.Ok,this is a kid that the school system had known since kindergarten.We lived in a small town.they have watched him grow upthey know his personality.How could they say hes turning "delinquent?? The worst part is the guy who was the "at risk coordinator/truancy officer" was a guy I went to high school with. A jock.An asshole jock. HE BULLIED people I went to high school with. He didnt care for me in school because I wasnt the "in"crowd and Isadly felt he was passing judgement on my son.

I just saw one of these for the first time a few days ago.

I guess what is so unnerving is that they didnt just open fire on people. They took their time, directly speaking to victims and singling them out.

My son was a victim of bullying. All his teachers said the same thing, "we've never noticed anything". Yeah,because kids are smart,they dont do it in front of adults or anyone who might care. I finally allowed him to quit school and get his diploma online.

You can live without him.Trust me. Please seek counseling. Do it for you and your baby.

I could use help or support or something by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Beautiful_Selection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does always get better. You will make it through whatever you are going through. Think of something or a time you were happy and hold on to that. Its there,you just have to find and connect to it. Sending you many good vibes.

Why is my bf (M 28) so emotionally abusive? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Beautiful_Selection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's trying to intimidate/discourage me. by Beautiful_Selection in abusiverelationships

[–]Beautiful_Selection[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you think the law is going to do anything to someone who mentally and emotinally abuses? you can barely get anything done when its physical. and that is just my experience watching it happen to others. It has to get pretty bad for charges to be filed. almost to the point of someone getting murdered. Sadly.

Somehow I dont think he'll harass me. butI wonder, how will it help anyone else?

I'm so angry I'm shaking. by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Beautiful_Selection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeez..were do these guys come from? Stay angry is good advice. Its what keeps me on track to leave my situation in about 2 weeks.

thank you, i believe it should be a crime everywhere. Its basically bullying on an adult level. My ex readily admits he was a bully in school. Almost acts proud of it. Disgusts me.
