oh c'mon ferret, you're not invisible, you're just oblivious..

av98m SG

Bullying is also becoming a more serious problem in Singapore's schools today, and it shows no signs of abating.

Just thought I'd point it out.

Rhonda SG

I'm quite young because I grew up at a time when HDB flats had already sprung up and my paternal and maternal grandparents lived in apartments. Twisted Evil

By the time I was born, sewerage systems were already up and running and sanitation standards were much higher than AHEM... 'days of yore'. Laughing

Methinks me didn't grow up in a shittier era!

/me runs outta da way, for this Bear isn't caged!!

Rhonda SG

Eh, izzit? According to the Nobel Laureate, the Bear, watching too much Korean drama series results in your brain matter dripping out of your ears leh, didn't mention anything about ear infections wor! Razz

Laughing

InnoHippo SG

dang ....... how come no Cs and Ds ....... Twisted Evil

if only i had such good results during my time Crying or Very sad

the Bear SG

you'd be surprised how messed up the sewerage system was in the 80s..

and you'd be surprised.. nevermind Laughing

take comfort that you never had to see these things.. or smell them..

btw, sometimes when you vacation, you go off the beaten track, into the places where the real people live and not a facade for tourists, you'd see a lot of things which guidebooks never tell you..

and somehow, you will be enriched spiritually Very Happy

Rhonda SG

It is juvenile here, compared to countries like the US and Australia. It can get really rough growing up in neighbourhood schools in the States. I don't think I would've survived. Razz

It definitely isn't all rosy here, but certain things, this place comes up tops in my opinion.

fudgester SG

I was at the receiving end of bullies back in school.

Heck, I was still at the receiving end of bullies even when I was in the army.

the Bear SG

your brain has to implode and rot first...

the rotting infects your ears.. which therefore affects your balance.. which manifests itself in the 'spinning thing' Twisted Evil

*called 'vertigo', but since brain has imploded....*

Laughing

Rhonda SG

Going by a logical progression of the topic of the day, erm... if you go off the beaten track, you'll go see places where sewerage rots, for instance, and you'll be enriched spiritually? Razz

Laughing

In that case, let me live blissfully ignorant, far away from the rotting sewerage!

elindra SG

Bear if Rhonda's brain is no longer there it is not possible for her to type out anything in sgForums Razz

sillyme SG

Sometimes, if not most, you'd have to stand up to bullies.

I remember being bullied in school before. Though it was mild, it got to a point that I stood up and slapped that guy in the face. After that, life was good Mr. Green

InnoHippo SG

time to tough up ur sweet character, bullies grow up to become ur colleagues in the future Wink

Rhonda SG

Gee, I must be a mighty evolved human being then, able to function well with an imploded brain...

Laughing

av98m SG

Unfortunately school authorities here also do not take it very seriously, and very often when a child complains of bullying, it is either shrugged off as "boys will be boys" or both bully and victim are punished.

And teachers/principals' hands are also tied in a way because often the parents of the bullies refuse to accept that their kids are bullies and will complain against the school so its one big clusterfuck.

av98m SG

uuhhh..........and believe it or not, I was bullied in school.

reporting it to the teachers/discipline master certainly did not help.

The last resort, which is extreme violence, did. I ambused one guy after school, beat the crap out of him, and threatened to kill him if he didn't stop. Neutral

Rhonda SG

Can! Becuz I'm a super non-human being mah! That's why I got elevated to the status of Cult Leader mah! The Cult of the KKK (Klu-less Kenneth Klan), aka the Cult of the No-Cow-Required Mad Cow Disease! Laughing

Oh, excuse the poor spelling for 'clueless' and 'clan'... brain turned to mush liao, y'know! Gotta give a bit of allowance for that!

Twisted Evil

the Bear SG

yeah... you see how the majority of the world lives and are thankful for what you have...

for those who will contemplate, they will see that the things in life which they are usually whining about, complaining about.. are trivial..

like the little child who manages to smile, to dare to hope for a better tomorrow and joy, while surrounded by a mountain of garbage.. what are our problems compared to his?

so, we don't get that promotion.. we don't get a parking lot.. we don't get a bigger house, bigger car..

he's looking for the next scraps so that he can afford to eat for the day..

yet he dares to hope, has the courage to smile..

what does that say about our cloistered society?

"There is more to life than increasing its velocity" - Mohandas K Gandhi, or The Mahatma

choco B SG

Muahaha b|tch slap like taiwan drama style issit

Rhonda SG

fudgester, y'know something, I kinda suspected that. Neutral

the Bear SG

MUST... NOT... POST... Twisted Evil
