Eh, now that I think on it, I do remember pretty much everyone in junior high being a hateful, rage-filled asshole. High school not so much.

[Scelly9]

But, the kid that started it and brought his friend over, WAS TWELVE.

[Flying Dice]

I almost hesitate to ask, but how did a 12 year old and 14 year old manage to get to the point where they were able to hurt you at all? Incidentally, 12 is around 6th-7th grade, if I'm remembering correctly.

When I was in first grade, I tore a kid's bead necklace off his neck and told him it was too girly for a boy to wear.



If anything, the younger they are, the more callous they can be. Understanding the full consequences of your actions requires experience.

[Bauglir]

Yeah. I mean, when I was 4, I set a bird on fire with a magnifying glass. That's kind of a horribly evil thing to have done, now that I think back on it. "What's this going to do to somebody else?" isn't a thought that occurs as often as it should, the younger you are, at least in my experience. More than anything else, in this case, it's an idea about how the world ought to be that the kid has, and the thought never even occurred that anyone could disagree. So what he's thinking is, "This guy's wrong to have long hair, and he knows it! How fucked up is that?"

That's no excuse, obviously, just an attempt to provide insight into the psychology I suspect is at play here (but I could easily be wrong). Kid sounds like a douche.

The twelve year old was the one with the knife. I didn't find his actions frightening so much as a little disturbing. His buddy, on the other hand was the stereotypical redneck, except a lot taller than me. I'm 5'1", he was probably 5'7" or so. I'm only 14, and not in the best of shape, he could have hurt me pretty bad if he wanted to.

Sort of related: I swear if I hear one more stupid kid say "YOLO" as an excuse to do something stupid I will.. uh.. man, I can't think of anything to do. I was going to say kill them, but..  I guess not.

[Scelly9]

Meh, it was a chance encounter at a robotics thing today. I'll probably never see them again, still, RAEG.

Punch them in the self-esteem.

My response to 'YOLO', if I were ever to actually hear it, would be 'Exactly.'

Say: "Exactly, SO DON'T WASTE IT.

Or possibly, "Make my day. You'll remember it for the rest of your life."

Looks like you need some training, bucko. Come see me, and learn that being 5'1" cannot stop you from kicking copious amounts of ass. ^_^

Also: YOLO? Eh, wot is that nonsense?

[SirAaronIII]

"You only live once", which is then used as an excuse to go do drugs, have sex, etc. Fuck I hate it so much.

[MaximumZero]

Ah. That's really idiotic.
