If you are a student in middle or high school, you probably have a school-given planner or organizer to write your homework in. I had one in 8th grade... I still have it, let me find it... *finding*... found! In the back, it has all these pages and advice stuff about confidence, friendship, stuff like that. Me and my friends would always write funny things in there, just for fun. Well, there's this one page about becoming "bully-proof", and it is the stupidest thing I have ever seen, and it's actually serious. It shows this black guy with glasses (first of all, if you're black, you don't have bully problems) and all these things he did to escape bullies. Here is exactly what it says:
- Unbreakable Plastic Glasses
- Homework hidden in thermos (bullies never look there)
- Three shirts (extra padding)
- Lunch is vegetables and water (bullies hate vegetables)
- Map of "safe houses" in pocket
- Camoflauge coat to blend in with surroundings
- Decoy plastic money in wallet (real money hidden in shoe)
- Quick get-away sneakers
My friend added: "Castrated testicles. Bullies can't get him there now." 13... what an age. I'd like to now say that this is the stupidest page ever. It's telling you to completely change your life so you can contend with bullies. You have to eat horrible stuff, put money in your shoe (awkward when you go to the local CVS and take your money out of there), and all this other moronic stuff. What it should say is that fight back, start a gang, or even get an adult. That is the worst thing you can do, change your life completely like that. Here's another thing it said:
"Matt discovers the ultimate bully-proof weapon: CONFIDENCE". I added: "and an M16". Another thing it said: "Don't fight violence with violence." I completely disagree, and added "Fight with a switch blade."
