I inadvertently ended up watching the events of that day unfold on a live broadcast that was airing in my University cafeteria, the one day I actually decided to stay at the Undergraduate Library and study while I had a bite to eat.  At first, I had no idea what I was looking at, seeing an aerial view of all these young looking people running out of a building with their hands on their heads and some ducking while they ran, grouped together.  The TVs were on mute, so I had to wait for the banner to give an update on what was transpiring.  And that's when I saw it was a shooting at a high school.  My mind was blown because it read that they could still hear shots being fired as we were watching the live feed.

 

Out of interest, I watched the follow up reports and the documentary on the situation because due to that incident, the networks actually cancelled the graduation episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer due to the graphic nature of what transpired in that episode and out of respect to those who lost their lives during the Columbine shooting.

 

The sad thing is, there were so many overlooked cries for help from the boys.  Having experienced some of what they went through myself, I understood the want to do something...anything to make the hurting stop.  Fortunately for me, where we live made certain things inaccessible.

I see Where you are coming from, and that is def not easy. I was picked on, growing up, like many others. I oftentimes felt bullied, allthough Im not really sure to what extent. 

 

I think a lot of people related to this image of the kids that fought back, because bullying is absolutely horrible

Somehow, I got stuck on a marathon of Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel.

 

I don't usually watch these guys after a certain year because their ghost hunting methods became more vulgar and profane.  They used to show restraint and were courteous and respectful to the locations they investigated, even when they were "antagonizing" the energies in the area.  However, within a few years of their pilot episode, they just went full on rude.

 

But then again, that's just me.  I personally do not curse or use the name of certain religious deities in vain.  It's almost as if they changed their ways to get more ratings from a younger viewing audience.  As if to give the show a, "Hey look, we talk just like you"...kind of feel.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
