wrath of a bullying victim

Hey peeps,

heavy subject today.
Yes, I believe the tide has turned.
Maybe not... but at least I'm going to try to keep my mouth shut about the 'heartbroken bullshit'.

So today: bullying.

The last few day the media-air has been buzzing with that topic.
Why? Someone got bullied. Her bullies filmed the whole charade and the video ended up on facebook.

The girl who did the bullying got suspended from school.
But that's not all. What started as a "stop bullying"-campaign is now a total hate-campaign against the 'convict'.

Someone I know made the analogy with KONY, and how it probably won't have much effect on the actual bullying in the future.

I thing he has a point. How are we going to help the victims with online hate-campaigns?
I'm not picking the bully's side, but when we react like that, with hate, than what makes us any better than that bully we try so hard to undermine?

I believe that if we really want to do something about it, we should act for real, stand up for those who can't. Just saying we hate the bully isn't going to do any good. If it means anything i think it's only making things worse...

If I was a bully and the one I harassed did something like that, starting a national hatred against me, I'd be furious and I'd want to make them pay. Not that I am a bully, not even close!

So that's my point of view. What's yours?

am I that bad?

Is it so wrong to want  a happily ever after?
Is it wrong to trust people so easily that they're able to break your heart as soon as they even think about it?
Is it wrong to love someone even if they crushed your heart.
Am I that bad that people tend to tell me I'm more than enough for them but then stab me in the back and leave me for someone else?
Is it that bad to want something like the couples in the movies?
It's not like their stories are all fake... are they?
True love, trust, loyaly, honesty.... I don't belieeve it's all fantasy.
But I have to admit... it gets awfully hard to keep believing that there actually exist people with the same values I have and actually like me.
