Worst Day Ever in the history of my life

[JC_Shepherd]

What is wrong with the world that makes people think its ok to do this
5 kids had ganged up on me in my 2nd period class and started making fun of me for being furry and the teacher didnt do anything. He had actually chuckled at some of the things these kids said
Now for the worst part of the day
I was sitting in lunch with the few friends i have left after the school found out i was furry and these senior kids came up to me took my lunch, and said "animals are not aloud to eat human food" and they handed me a little bag of dog food, then threw away my lunch. after they had left i did not say another word to anyone and just walked off to a vacant classroom and sat with the lights of f alone, crying until the end of school.

The only good thing that had happend was a couple of my closest friends had actually came looking for me and saw me through the window on the door. Feels good that not all people are so cold hearted to hate on someone for being diffrent then them

P.S. i did make another thread about  my school finding out that i am furry and i want to say thank you to those who gave me advice on what to do and i hope this pain will end soon....

Ignore 'em mate. Troglodytes like that wont get far in life. Now it's been said that the best revenge is living a good life...
I recomend just being social, if they think being a furry is all you are prove 'em wrong. and if they dont care then what use are they? Obviously they're pretty useless if they best thing they can think to do is torment a non-threatening party...
 
Anyhow they're just trying to be dominant. And the teacher is letting them. I recomend reporting them (and the teacher ) to the school board. Maybe transferring classes if that doesnt do anything. Also it osunds like you have some good friends, stick close to 'em, they're worth it.

If you act like it doesn't affect you then they most likely will leave you alone. if you show that it hurts you deeply then they will keep on doing it. jerks they are show them you can be strong! and don't let 'em make you ashamed of who you are!

I really tried hard not to do anything but when they were treating me as if i were nothing more than a waste of time and space  I just lost it and had to leave.

I'm saddened to hear of this and am sorry for the pain this has caused you.

Humans have a long history of going after people who are different from themselves or whom they don't understand. It's not okay to do that and history has also shown us that these types of hatreds will not be tolerated. Reporting the incident to school authorities might be a good idea if that's something you're comfortable doing. Surely your school shouldn't tolerate such a thing.

As bad as you're feeling right now, understand that you've done nothing wrong. You are what you are and if some can't accept that so be it. Your true friends accept you and understand the pain this has caused you. And your furiends here also accept and understand you. Don't let those ears droop too low, we're here for you wuffers. ^..^

Status update?

Anyway ignore them, give them a so what.

And report this.

And when they start giving you dog food, or anything like that (and I mean any animal stuff), it's to the point where they've taken it a bit too far...?

I mean, they gave you dog food, lol.

Things have clamed down a bit but there are still some kids that say stuff to me but its alot easier to handle now because its getting old to me so they should stop soon

I just came across this thread and had a terrible bout of empathy for you there JC. I too used to be the school's abuse punching bag and I know how you feel. For you, it seems to be the associations you desire (of which there is nothing wrong with by the way). For me, the abuse was based on Racial and Ethnic slurs due to me moving in from a foreign country.


I wanted to start with that just so you know that I feel for you. It breaks my heart to hear of that kinda junk. It shouldn't happen, but (like Greymane said) humans have a tendency to ostracize what they don't understand or what they don't view as normal.


It sounds though like they are letting up though, which is a good thing. Keep a stiff upper lip and never think you are alone. You have friends there in school (stay close to them, they are true friends if they are willing to stick with you when "the mob" strikes) and you have us here at the Forum.


Just remember: you have rights too. If you want to get super-technical, you can report and state that you have been harassed. Do a bit of research into bullying laws if it gets too intense. I'm sure you'll be pleased with what you see.

Ignore bullies.


I was bullied from when I was 14-17 for being gay.
I just ignored it, and got on with school.


Now.. I'm 21, I run a group of hotels, and one of the lads that bullied me for all those years is now working at a KP (kitchen porter) in the smallest hotel. He never looks at me when I come in to check on a few things.


I'm not a snob, but when I'm around him I act like one. (I'm over it, I just hope he knows what a complete &*&%* he was.)
