I never see anyone talking about how kids can abuse adults though.Â
Growing up I saw a lot of adult teachers get bullied by students and it sucked. They would purposely push them to their breaking point until they exploded, yelled, cursed, threw desks, and the ones who didnât have that kind of reaction would just quit or end up fired because the kids would start rumors. One was because our new math teacher was effeminate so the guys thought âobviously this guy is gay and heâs after our dicksâ and if he was ever nice to a male student (which⌠he was nice and friendly with EVERYONE and was the best teacher weâd had that year) they would start whispering behind me, âyo, look at that, did you see that? Heâs flirting with his male students, thatâs nastyâ and so they made trouble for him.Â
My mother worked at a Discovery Zone type place when I was little and she would come home and break down crying because groups of little boys would call her names, call her stupid her whole shift.
I had friends in childhood who absolutely abused their parents. They were relentless and mean and hacked them into submission and it made for a lot of awkward moments when I would hang with them, because I couldnât do anything since⌠they were my abuser too.
Just because youâre a minor doesnât mean knives you throw are not sharp and wonât hit someone. The fact that so many kids on this site use their age as a weapon, as a way to say âbut nothing I do has any impact because I have no social powerâ is SCARY and we need to try to make people aware of this kind of stuff from a young age because most people who are like that donât really realize it and they need guidance and rehabilitation so the cycle can stop. Because those people grow up and have kids and do it to their kids and they donât learn that itâs not normal or okay, that they cannot deny reality by controlling the people around them.Â
But sometimes it isnât always that way, some of those parents were so nice and kind and I considered like family, and they just had absolute evil villains for kids.Â
Check in with yourselves, guys. Especially right now. Thereâs a lot of upsetting stuff being shoved in our faces all the time and it makes it hard not to get tunnel vision when our emotions get out of control, especially with the pressure to perform by a lot of social circles on tumblr. And if youâre young and a lot of this is new, pace yourself, youâre learning, and you need to be open to the idea of learning more and know that us being adults doesnât mean weâre just out of touch boring old farts who donât know anything. Weâve lived things and we have experience and when we say to you that itâs not okay to tell people who like things you do not like to kill themselves, weâre not âapologistsâ⌠weâre the survivors too.Â
yo this is really important
my piano/choir teacher in 6th grade was only around 20-23 whenever she came to our school, and she only stayed for 2 years because all the kids were so awful. one time she told me that me and a few other of my friends were the only ones who hadnât said a bad word about her the whole time.
in 4th grade, we got an awesome music teacher. he was in his late 20âs at the time, really chill and easygoing (we were in elementary school). some of the kids would just slowly drive him off the edge until one day he ended up throwing pens across the room out of frustration and anger. everybody was either scared of him or laughed at him, and it kinda made it worse. he left 2 years later and teaches a civilized and nice group of kids now.
kids really can abuse adults. Iâve seen it happen a lot and itâs sad and heartbreaking and overall awful to see because so many people brush it off as âkids being kids.â
In 7th grade or so I had the most delightful Maths/Science teacher (the two were taught by the same guy) and he was always super nice. Like he adored teaching, he brought us snacks sometimes and like really wanted us to do well.Â
By 8th grade he was a changed man. We had young neo-nazis starting shit. We had kids screaming and throwing shit at him. We had knife fights and Iâm 90% certain I remember him straight up being forced into a position where he had to wrestle one of my more violent classmates to the floor. My class had actually driven this calm, cool, great guy (he couldnâtâve been more than 27 at the time) to actually break down crying in class. As far as I heard he was gone by the time I entered grade 9.Â
I remember lots of my classmates mocking my math teacher because of her accent, when I was a freshman. She was from Syria, in a mexican school. Little pieces of shit were always imitating her accent and mocking her from getting certain words wrong.
I saw her about four years later and she looked so tired of everything, less cheerful and with a tougher attitude from the beginning. Fortunately she still talks to me calmly and smiling, but itâs awful to know sheâs always anxious around thw kids she teaches.
In seventh grade I had a teacher named Ms. Burns. It was only her third year of teaching, and it was her first year of teaching middle school. And the class I had her for?
My fellow classmates were fucking awful to Ms. Burns. They talked over her when she was trying to teach, they made fun of her appearance (said she looked like man and called her a âtrannyâ, or âIt Burnsâ instead of Ms. Burns), and when a few months into the school year, she broke down and screamed at the top of her lungs at the class before sitting down at her desk and crying, they considered it a triumph and laughed about it for weeks.
Being a kid doesnât exempt you from being a piece of shit, and just because, on the whole, adults have more power than minors doesnât mean that minors get a free pass on being purposefully cruel to adults. Some of you on this website really need to learn this.
Discipline your goddamn kids.
Seriously doubling down on the last part because this behavior doesnât form in a fucking vacuum.
idk if itâs not showing the full class but i notice a lot more of the girls got more cut than the dudesÂ
idk why but itâs coolÂ
Because the dudes try to use brute strength, and the girls know better. You canât swing a katana like a broadsword; it has no heft to it. Itâs essentially a really long razor blade. When youâre using a katana, youâre not only applying downward force, but youâre pulling your center of gravity back. It creates an arc.
Watch the last guyâs technique. His whole body moves.
I just found the funniest fucking thingGGGGG itâs a website where you make fake simpsons synopsises and compile screenshots from the show that fit the plot, which is simple enough but this is the first one I found
I didnât know cheetahs meow Iâve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever donât reblog this assume Iâm dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a âbig catâ (or Great Cat) – they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you havenât heard anything until you hear them cheep.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY THAT AND NOT PROVIDE A VIDEO
I HAVE REALISED MY MISTAKE AND SHALL RECTIFY IT:
Cheeps.
Oh my god
@bunjywunjy given your fantastic latest Weird Biology, I couldnât not mention this to you when it popped up in my feed
If your fic is 1000 words long, you canât tag it slow burn. Itâs not slow burn. That is a matchstick. And this is my personal bias here but if those motherfuckers youâre writing experience significant forward momentum in their relationship in under 5k words, then that is just a regular old burn. Slow burn should be borderline intolerable and a mistake to start reading at 2 in the morning.
If the fic doesnât have multiple scenes where two people almost kiss but then donât because of a contrived interruption that they are both grateful for and angry about, until the desperate reader is forced every other paragraph to mutter, âthis is fucking ridiculous, this is bullshit, Iâm so fucking mad, please update sooooooooooon,â then it isnât a slow burn. It is a romance and that is a lovely thing but. Slow burns should feel like being set on fire unto your death but the tinder is people not kissing and the spark is people who donât admit they love each other and the whole thing is. You know. Slow.
CORRECT
I once read a slow burn where the main pairing didnât even speak to each other ontil 80k words in
This is the funniest fucking thing Iâve ever read and the only true slow burn fic
Next time you go walking around barefoot in the waterâŚ
NOPE
No worries, thatâs a Bobbit Worm. They live on the ocean floor, and unless youâre able to withstand a ton of pressure, you likely wouldnât have your toesies nipped off by one since they live deeper than people walk on the ocean floor.
Bobbit Worms are kinda cool. And they were named after Laurena Bobbit, who cut off her abusive husbandâs penis and threw it out of her car window as she drove off.
