First of all, I want to say: This is a very serious topic. I'm sharing my problem with 3 other guys, we have no idea what to do.
Ok, I'm in a class, with 17 (2 girls left the class) and 5 guys. There's one buy, which gets dissed every day. First we tried to be nice to him, but we just couldn't be. He's acting so weird and is also looking gay and he got glasses, sorry, I just can't explain. Everybody hates him, he's repeating the class since he failed at the last year and he told us that he's playing CSS every night from 10 PM to 6 AM when his parents are asleep. He also looks like a geek tbh.
The problem is this: As I said, he gets dissed everyday and me and my friends think he's going to kill himself/one of us if we continue doing it, but the whole class hates him so... A girl told him that she'd love him, he took it serious but she just joked.. These things are happening every day. Me and my friends are fucking scared, we don't really believe that he comes to our school with his fucking m4, but what if he comes with a knife?
We're really scared, we've got no idea what to do..
I need your help, really.
Edit: I only know him since 6 months, but yet he's already the most hated person in around 6 classes...
Are you so weak that you can not say these things to your "friends" and then, not necessarily befriend the guy, but at least keep your comments to your selves and act with an ounce of maturity? I tell you now, your behavior is only "cool" to yourselves. If you could see how everyone else sees you I am quite sure you would be just as embarrassed, insecure, self conscience, isolated and full of doubt, just like the guy you sharpen your claws on.
I will tell you my story:
When I was in 7th grade,( I am 41 now) I picked on this kid from time to time. I viewed him as weak and an easy target for me to get cheap laughs from the other kids in class. One day the teacher went to the office and I started up on this kid. I got in his face and worked him into tears. All the kids were laughing and I was feeling pretty good. When I saw his fist start to clinch when he was sitting at his desk, I leaned over his shoulder to taunt him again. I asked him if he was "gunna hit me". I even had the nerve to stick my chin out to give him a clean shot. Well, in fail swoop this kid reached up, grabbed my head and slammed it into the damn desk. Now, the kids in class were laughing and rolling in the aisles at my dumb ass. I can tell ya the pain I felt from having my head shoved into the desk was nothing compared to the utter embarrassment I suffered from this event.
That was a lesson I learned early and I learned it well. From that moment on treat everyone as you would want to be treated has become my motto. Respect, is my banner.
Maybe you can learn this lesson of mine the easy way and avoid humiliation and embarrassment. God knows I would love to have a second change and choose a different path.
I even told this story to my sons in hopes they can learn the cheap way. So far, I can say they have.
