Acceptance?

Posted: 6/5/2012

Hi, my name is Marina and I live in Portugal.

I was myself a bully victim and I didn't and still don't find that cool at all. But lately, I found out that one who bully someone, anytime in his life was bullied. I'm not defending those who bully, but my point is that, sometimes, to one can be accepted in a certain crew, people adopt the same behaviors that this crew has it, and sometimes no matter if the behavior of that crew is good or bad, we just want to accepted by them no matter what.

I didn't bully anyone, because I was lucky to have a mother who fought for me so that the bullies don't bring me down and make me to follow their path. Some questions that I have are, after had passed for that and after growing up a little "Why we want that bad to accepted by people who doesn’t accept us like we are? And who started this horrible game of popularity?"

Now in my point of view, popularity it's not a bad thing, but the popularity that bullies are trying to reach or got it already it is a bad one because it only teaches us to be bad citizens in the way that we discriminate people by reasons like race, physical conditions, or stuff that people can't control by its own straight.

So why we want that bad this kind of popularity which doesn't bring us to any good place, and for the opposite, only leads us to self-destruction?
