This reminds me of a funny story in school where a guy was getting bullied. He got slapped on one cheek and so he turned his other cheek to the bully... and got slapped again.
Bullying wouldn't be so funny if it wasn't for the fact that the incident made everyone become friends even now more than 20 years later.
Its great to know that the bullying turned them into great friends
But in these recent times, bullying no longer stays in our head
Social media has turned everything around as you told @joetunex
Lol thats a cool story become friends and still friends.
Bullying is very bad though, recently a girl was bullied at school here in SA, it was recorded and shared on social media she ended up committing suicide when she got home.
Bullying is terrible and the recording and sharing on Twitter/Facebook makes it so much worse than what it was back in the 80s and 90s. At least then you only had to relive the experience one and in your head.
Also there was no worries of other people seeing the video. Peers may have comments about the video but society in general takes a dim view of bullies.
We are looking at one of the negatives of social media, things that are supposed to remain private lands on social media where it trends and consequently lead to something else.
We currently have a disclaimer everyday on radio and television that discourages us from posting things that could end another person's life
They emphasize by saying we have blood on our hands if someone dies as a result of our posts and tweets
