When I was in Primary Three, I met this weird guy. Everyone said that he was 'gay' and nobody wanted to have anything to do with him. The class made fun of him almost on a daily basis. I was only Primary Three that time and I didn't really ask myself 'Hey is it right to do this? What's the boy feeling?' I must admit that I had also taken part in the bullying. I didn't think about the negative side of the bullying - I thought it was funny to make fun of him. I am sort of like a go with the flow person at that time so I didn't think much about it.
Thinking back, I thought that what I had did was really wrong. If going with the so called 'in crowd' meant severely hurting someone's feelings, then I would rather have nothing to do with the popular guys.
I have realised over the years that prejudice in the classroom exists almost every year. There would always be this poor dude that bears the brunt of the bullying in class. Few people ever stand up against the the bullies. The rest of the people usually just keep their mum and treats the bullied like any other friend. I think I am part of that group.
So long for now :)
