Wow, I can't believe how popular it became over the years. I used to play when it was still pretty slim I guess. I miss playing, but there are so many new-comers I almost shy! lol
Btw, the guy's name is "Tomko" not "Tonko" =P Just thought I'd get that out there before any confusion.
I'm glad to see that this has caused kids to get good grades just so they can be allowed to join. I think that's actually kind of inspirational in it's own sense.
Keep the Zombie Game Alive Guys!!! ^_^
@VAB It figured he wouldn't learn his lesson. Have you taken this situation to the higher-ups yet? This needs to be taken care of. And the parents of the boy need to be contacted and told what it is that the boy is doing. It's possible that they have no idea. I think you should do what Pennylane's Mom did if this continues,and try and move her to another school,or maybe just to a diffrent class under a better teacher. If the teacher hasn't contacted you yet,it's obvious he/she just isn't giving a damn.
You know,it's things like this,that really make me consider homeschooling for my future children....
Hi! Nice to meet you! It's no problem,like I said,I know what she's going through. I'm glad,that even with the bullying from her past,she is able to continue to work hard on her studies! I'm supporting her all the way!
@Writein As much as I agree with your fighting back technique,it doesn't always work well. With the way I've experienced it,the one that usually winds up getting in more trouble for just fighting back,is the one trying to fight back and make it stop,rather than the one causing all the actual pain. The teachers will tell you,to just ignore them,because the fighting back reaction,is what they're waiting for. The bullies want a reaction from you,that's what I have discovered. In one of my 7th grade classes,this boy,who always had something to say about me,while we were rhyming our names to memorize them,he was making rude comments. The teacher,did nothing,and neither did I. I ignored him,and smiled...and that is all what it took for him to finally back off from me,because he knew the game was over. He had lost,and I had won. Sometimes fighting back,isn't always the answer,it's just staying quiet,and happilly ignoring that person...
@N45BA "I personally think this is a better method than having parents come running to the rescue every time anything looks like it might make their precious baby sad or uncomfortable." Okay...so when the child needs a shoulder to cry on,we just turn the other cheek? I mean,I can understand if the child is crying over something like candy or if they didn't get thier way. But if it's because someone is bullying them,that's a whole 'nother story! Crying alone because you're hurting,at an age like that,is the WORST feeling EVER. I would know because I've had to do that MANY times in my childhood. And,I will admit,has left me screwed up royally. EVERYTHING a child deals with in a certain time,how they handle it,and how thier parents handle it,molds them to who they become later in life.
@N45BA People are allowed to bitch and complain about all they want,everytime they wake up. What they choose to complain about,is thier business. Maybe there are some people like the ones that you describe. I,however,am not one of them. I simply wanted to put my opinion about the situation here,because it has also struck home for me. Yes,bullying will probably never be put to an end,because people are difficult to control in general. But then where's discipline? When does it come to the point where we tell these children that it's wrong? Do we just constantly let it go,and just let it get worse and let our world wring chaos? I think the girl that got stabbed,should've gotten more justice. And whatever happened to parent-teacher confrences anyways? When I was younger,they still had those. And I don't understand why VAB isn't recieving any notices from the teachers. If they want to make thier own jobs easier,then they need to communicate,or else it'll just make it worse in the end. It's all about things catching up to you in the end. By reading your comments,I'm led to ask,are you even a parent? Do you understand what these Moms and Dads that care for thier children so much,go through? I talked to my boss,who is a working mother of 3,about this topic. She said she's glad that her kids don't have to deal with bullying because they go to a good school. Bullying distracts concentration for education,and that's NOT what our future needs! And I don't think VAB is being a bad parent at all. She's being a wonderful one! Caring and being concerned about what happens to her daughter when she's not around. I would do the same thing! We leave our kids in the care of these people,who obviously don't care much for them. I was not only bullied by students,but by teachers as well. For no reason,whatsoever. Just so they could get a good laugh as I cried. I support VAB for doing all she does to get this straightened out! Like the article had said,that alot of kids that are bullied,have trouble in school,and some commit suicide,or come close? Those who are bullys,commit crimes. Do you think it's really okay for this classmate,the one who attacked VAB's daughter to go prancing around,saying he's in a gang at such a young age!? I'm sure he won't even make it to high school if it's not taken care of. I'm sorry,but in my honest opinion,it's people like you that would probably make bad parents. With the kids I see during the weekends at work,screaming and holloring,running around throwing shoes,stealing candy and the parents do NOTHING. So they continue to think it's okay. Well that is NOT and neither is bullying,which inlcudes scratching or stabbing with a plastic fork.
As far as I'm concerned,the kid that stabbed VAB's daughter,should be forced to eat with nothing but his hands until he learns how to properly use his utensiels! Plus put in a spot away from everyone else in the cafeteria until he learns his lesson!
I see that family all the time when they come and buy shoes! I've almost never seen the husband though,he must work alot. She is really a sweet lady. And I laughed at the Whataburger thing. That's creative! xD Congrats on 16 years and I hope it keeps on moving on for you both! ^_^
Wow,that's really awesome! I totally might do that if they keep this up.
Everyone Twitter this story and put it on Facebook! These people are awesome! ^^
@PatientEarth That's what I don't get either. I used to not be so covered up back then,so why she's getting after me for this now,I don't understand. I'm actually 23 years old,and I work at Ventura's. It's uniform code there so no. Thank you. This is what we're trying to get people to understand. I'm actually more Sweet Lolita,but I don't have anything in my closet to potray it yet,but I shall post something once I do! ^_^
@legion357 20 years from now,who knows? I know that there are people in thier 40's dressing like this right now,and they are beautiful. I hope I can keep this beauty at that age like they can.
@Rebecca Actually that character is from the Tenchi series. Ryo-ohki to be exact! If you haven't watched that anime you should,it's a really amazing one imo. Thank you for your compliment,I appreciate it. ^^
Oh god. I hope y'all reinspect Tokyo Bar & Grill soon so I can eat there again. My cousin and I won't eat there until everything is fixed. Thats gross....
Virgilmaro: Thanks for the honesty then I suppose. I like honesty. ^_^ Well,it wasn;t up to us. If we had known Valli before,then we might have shot together and had it look better,ne? Oh wellz,I'm just happy the word got out! XD Yeah,I suppose it is an artform,like Valli said that it's all about being creative,and this helps us out,and the music can also help with the creativity. ^^
Wondering: I think I know what you mean. I remember in "Cinderella",the Fairy Godmother mentioned,"Dance,be gay!" and even at such a young age even I thought that meant her being involved with the same sex,but then my Mom told me it can also mean just being happy. I guess it depends on how you use it,but either way you get those kind of reactions.
thewaywardwind: Yes,you should be dissapointed. ^^
RedRage00: Yeah,what Sailor said. Basiclly it makes you think of the "Memoirs of a Geisha" moment when she made that guy on the bike hit that stand. Though,not so hilarous here....>_<
