READ THE DESCRIPTION

Template: [link]

Everywhere you see in the media, you see people being offended by the slightest things people say or do.

You express your dislike for someone or something, you're labeled as a "hater". Becuase apparently, you can't "hate" anything or anyone. Just ALL love.

You call someone fat (which is no lie), you're labeled as scum, a cruel person..worse than murderers!

You call someone a weirdo or even a loser, you apparently have no life, you're insecure with yourself, and have no soul.

......................................................................................................................

But what is pussification?

Not allowing children to admit their mistakes when they are called out on it. When it happens, they cry foul and have their ass patted while the people who called them out on their bullshit are treated like villains.

Constantly reminding children that words hurt, when it shouldn't be. Words don't have power unless you give them power. Like voting for Bush twice.

Telling them not to fight back with bullies because that will entice violence.
NO SHIIIIIIIIT. The bullies are being violent, so when you fight back expect to be punched and kicked. What? You expect to fight with no scratches on your face? You seriously want these poor children to not fight back when bullies are thrashing them? Yes, YOU set a great example.

..............................................................................................................

Seriously stop this. People like that are emotionally and socially crippling the youth with this shit.
Here's the thing. You can't stop bullying as in a general term. That's like trying to stop every rapist, wife beater, thief, murderer, the list goes on.

To simply put it, to the very core, humans are just a cruel species. You can't change that. So why not better yourself on how to handle yourself when situations like bullying come along instead of changing everyone else because you don't want to grow a spine?

OMG! You said a bad word to someone! That will leave a scar on them FOREVERRRRRRR
It sounds so dramatic, that I start to become emotionally cripple and my IQ drops from their stupidity.

But I am not saying it's not okay to be sensitive. Everyone is sensitive about something. We are human beings after all. We are both emotional and merciless creatures. But when it comes right down to it, you have no choice but to become merciless. Merciless about not giving a damn about some bully. And beat the crap out of him.

What happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me"? All of a sudden we're supposed to take words to heart?
The media tells you that words hurt, that you should never say them but the next minute they tell you not to mind it. Hypocrite, much?

Society tells you that words are powerful and that it goes deep. But why should you listen to that if it's just words? Why would you want to give in to the person calling you these things? You're only making them win.

Of course, when we first were called names, we took it heart and cried. As teens (hormonal and emotional) you're sensitive, confused, irrational, etc. You're still figuring out the world and yourself.

But as you grow older, it's required for you to self-reflect and to change what you find wrong with yourself.
The thing is, if you know the feeling of how words hurt, don't tell people to be sensitive babies. Stop giving your sob stories how name-calling hurt you and how the kids were mean and cruel.

Kids are naturally mean little things. You can guide them and say those words are unacceptable; that it does indeed hurt, but giving the person receiving the name-calling special treatment and over-coddling is only hurting them even more.

It's a cruel world. People won't bend over backwards because your "fweeings" got hurt. You have to accept people are assholes and that sometimes you need to grow a fucking spine and stop caring to what stupid shit people say.

Stop contributing to the pussification of this youth and stop encouraging them to be fucktarded overly-senstitive pussies.

Edit: I've forgot to mention criticism. How people refuse to take it properly and just rage at you even if you gave the most gentle critique. Aspiring to have a career in the Art field? You better have thick skin, because you will be an amusing little monkey when you blow things out of proportion in front your peers. People will give you blunt criticism, too. A critique doesn't have to be nice or positive.

They will tell you that your art is boring, dull, uninteresting or even shitty. Take a step back and see what's wrong with it if they were serious about their comments. Ask them how you can improve and not tell them to fuck off because you're a moronic child that thinks crayon scribbles is art so no one can critique them.

EDIT (2): Also on the subject on Cyber-bullying:
To quote *shininginthedarkness [link]

It's not bullying because you can turn off the computer and walk away from it.
There is NO SUCH THING as violence on the internet. How can you compare being typed at by a stranger to actual violence?
The only part of 'cyber-bullying' which I accept as legitimate is social network bullying done by people the victim has to deal with in real life. But at that point it's just an extension of real life bullying. (I also think in these cases the parents should step in, but perhaps that's wishful thinking.)
