@Mahesh, Very nice blog, so realistic, and it did happen to me having unemployed ex and it turned me off because every time we dined, it was my money spent for the payment of the foods.Then I told him if he can find a job considering that he was a graduate of an economics course in a university.He said that he cannot find a job I said how come you have a degree.So to make the story short, I made a final decision to break our relationship.It turned me off having a boyfriend like a leech. He cried but his tears cannot convince me.I said enough is enough, Thanks for letting me recall my ex and bad feelings for him being jobless through this blog.

My sister is a negative type and we always have a grudge for she is always an opposition to my plan. I told her that she is a negative thinker and I am not. There are reasons you presented here are so potential enough for every reader who happens to be positive to change their mind set through opposing images that flash to their minds as negative by converting it right away to positive, I do not like negative people. LET US NT ALLOW NEGATIVE PEOPLE TO KILL OUR DREAMS.

Very nice blog, so informative and realistic. Thanks for sharing this.

Saying no is a weakness to so many people. You will find people having a hard time telling someone no for fear of being rejected or being told off, but the thing is rejection doesn’t mean that you cannot move on. I remember i used to be that type of a person who saying no was not in my vocabulary most of the time. I always used to feel like I am being too hard on soneone , but as days went by I learnt that saying no is not a bad thing it’s just part of life. When I got a job I always wanted to be told things clearly so that I will not crash with anyone or have misunderstandings. B3cause whenever a misunderstanding came about people would obviously take advantage of others. It’s at such times I would stand my ground and say no to certain things, otherwise I would end up doing someone else’s job because I fear saying no. In some instances you may find your siblings or even friends expecting you to do for them favors even when you can’t, and when you don’t do them they start criticizing you. It’s okay for them to critize just remember that you are human and on the right to say no it’s only natural.

Lots of people tout the benefits of sharing your blog post links via Quora but I’m not very active at Quora. If it works it works. But on the rare occasions when I do pop in at Quora, I’m usually looking for information and not providing answers. 🙂 That’s been my experience. I have actually used the Quora blogging platform. It’s OK but doesn’t suit my purposes.

The victims tested the limits of tolerance of the suspects. They bullied them, another made statements that really touched the pride of the barangay official. The victims could had just mind their own lives; they should still be alive if they did not acted badly.

It is such a disheartening story. Of course, no one wants somebody dead, but I think the bully asked for it.

Maybe if we looked at the background of the bully, he might have some problems at home and vent it out to someone he thinks are the weakling at school.

Like we are know being quiet doesn’t mean that i am weak. That is one thing that people don’t realize. Never take people lightly for you never know what they are capable of. I have always believed that quiet innocent people are not what they seem. They are usually the bad ones when they are offended. Usually they would just let you abuse them in whatever way whether emotionally or physically, but when they finally get fed up and cannot take it anymore they usually react in a such a violent way that no one would have thought of. I know I have been a victim before, am usually a quiet person but when you cross my path you may not like what I will do. Don’t get me wrong I have never hurt someone before physically but I have emotionally hurt them because what they did to me was too much for me to assume. And after I did that they apologized and now we are the best of friends. At least I can say they learnt their lesson not to play around with people’s feelings because they would get hurt. They also got to know the other side of me which was not very pleasant. So I do agree that people should be cautious with the way they deal with others because people are different.

@Ruby, it was indeed the fault of the 16 year old boy for he does not have feeling for his neighbor, plus that boy that killed him was younger than him. He should have felt the young boy his brother. He should have served as the right model. Maybe he was called by his ad fault and that was because of his wrong attitude bullying.

@Anitah Gimase , at least those people had changed their dealing to you after you confronted them through strong words. Me too, never experienced bullying and hurting person’s feelings for I am not so sure of the attitude hidden within themselves and regret comes at the end of the deeds done.

This is pitiable that such incidents are still taking place in a civilized society. Of course, the number is very less when compared to those existing earlier. The incident clearly shows that it is not the appearance or physical strength that is needed but the mental activity to fight back and its intensity that works. Bullying is no doubt a bad thing and it is also a crime. But, it should be in its limits and when exceeds the damage of it will be quite miserable. I had this experience. There were some people who were bullying me as I joined newly. I punished them severely in the class by slapping each and everyone. They developed a grudge and while playing football they all encircled me and was beaten. I made a complaint to the principle and asked me to hit each of those guys and I did it without any hesitation. Didn’t I commit a mistake? I could have excused them. But, no. Never. Take revenge my inner consciousness was not accepting for any compromise.

They all took it to the notice of my parents and mother took me to task with a strong bamboo stick. Later she explained everything how one should behave in such a situation.
