Out of fairness , when the Bush versus Gore situation happened in 2000 , half the lawyers in the law firm I worked at didn ' t either . The word Democracy has been thrown around so much for at least the last half a century as a symbol of American pride , it ' s a bit misleading when reality kicks in . <| sep |> I ' d just go to someone ' s house at night , and just slowly walk down a corridor while they watch . When I ' m midway through , I ' d just play Spooky Scary skelletons and make a silly dance . Then I ' d just laugh and give them a pat on the shoulder , and say See you in two hours ! and float away . <| sep |> I ' m so much tougher since I was bullied . I ' ve heard it all so nothing can fuck with me anymore . I got involved with debate and school and ended up winning a lot of awards and scholarships . That made it hard for the bullies to talk shit to me . It ' s never about who is better or right or wrong . Bullies choose their victims arbitrarily . The best thing you can do is occupy your time with things that better yourself and get your mind off the bullying . I told my mom I wanted to kill myself when I was 11 years old . Very few people know this . Today , I ' m the last person anyone at my workplace would want to bully . I ' m kind because I know what it ' s like to be the victim of someone ' s unkindness . I ' m a quick thinker and I ' m empathetic . I ' m glad I went through what I did in elementarymiddlehigh school
