I was lucky enough to have actually had internet access when I was this age, but I didn't feel the need to vent or create some kind of rant online... I did however end up in lots of bbs and irc wars, however I was the OP and ircOP in most cases. True, she does seem to be trying to deal with it and deflect it, but she also does not know any better. I grew up in a very "interesting" neighborhood with a lot of culture crossovers. My school had both an advanced academics program with multiple students from the "rich" side of town as well as the highest gang rate in the area. Seeing as how I was in the academics program and lived in one of the poorest neighborhoods in town, I learned how to survive. Frankly, sometimes it is necessary for a teen to become Sun Tzu's Art of War to really make it thru; the problem is finding a delicate balance of defensive offense without crossing the line and ending up permanently damaging someone or someone's life. With that in mind - to the few teens reading this today who're having bully issues and such - everyone is afraid of something, BE that fear for THEM. Alot of bullies are only bullies within a set of boundaries, some won't cause trouble where they can be caught, so you take it to them there. I am NOT recommending violence or psychological warfare (cough) but sometimes it is necessary to be the bigger evil. As above, so below.
