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.

This is happening with every country and everywhere nowadays. The media can give a twist and make relentless efforts to make you believe what they want. This practically did not occur during the recent U.S Presidential elections as most of the U.S citizen were in favor of Mr. Trump than Mrs. Clinton. The media tried heavily to criticize, demoralize, and unpopular Mr. Trump. But, it could not get success and finally, the people got what they want and Mr. Trump could swear in as the President of U.S.

Hmmm the media has become a force to recond with. They seems to become misinformed group of people who do not appreciate the truth and fact anymore as that do not sell as much as falsehood and lies. They have become laws unto themselves as they fed the general public with false information which will excite people and paint others bad or black as they say it. I don’t listern to the media any more in my country because they have all become progovernment press who sees nothing wrong with government policy. Let watch them carefully.

Maybe he just wrote the name of Mr. Big Shot, because he thinks you will not verify if indeed he is recommending the applicant.

That is why, when we are applying, we should see to it that we put a reference who knows you well because you were once in his employment. Besides, see to it that you have a good track of work records so the recommender will also give good reviews.

Never just write a big shot, when the big shot doesn’t even know that you have written his name for reference. It’s discourteous to do that.

If you are a grown up, you have your own mind to make good decisions but most of us would rather go with what we are told. The thing is if the guy asked for a recommendation from the other guy, it’s obvious that he asked him if he would use him as his recommenderecommender, why then would someone write you such a bad recommendation letter? If you knew that the person was not qualified you should have told them from the beginning. But tarnishing the name of the candidate is not a good thing. That’s why it’s always good to ask questions before you get favors from people or even close friends .

There are times when we come across people who will be an influence of negative behavior and if we are not careful, we will probably be misled. You are responsible for your own actions, so when you involve yourself around negativity, then most likely,you will become negative. It important for us to determine that you should not blame others for your actions.

Being misled is tricky. In some sense, you can be misled by being lied to. That is one reason why a person can be misled. It is wrong for someone to lie for personal gain. If you are a strong willed person with any kind of intelligence, you will not allow anyone or anything to become a negative influence. You should always push for positive influences. A person can also mislead themselves, another person does not have to be the one to mislead you.

Wow, reading on, I realized that you are a very gifted person for having those qualities or super powers as you call it.

Indeed listening can be a power by itself. Even knowing when to be silent is a power also.

Observing too is a super power. These 3 are what I should learn to have. I am not observant, maybe because I always hurry. I don’t even sometimes observe how a person is before I speak my mind. Now I know, I should be.

Listening, I sometimes just blurt out without letting the other person finish what he is talking about , so much so that argument will ensue. This is true with my hubby and me.

Thank you for making me realize I can have those super powers too. 🙂
