This happened a few years ago. (I was in year 2)

  1. So there I was just sitting with my friends in the school yard when a guy a few years above me stode over with his gang of friends. I looked up but saw who it was and just ignored him, I didn't want any trouble, but he stopped in front of me and just stood there. After a minute or two he shoved me on the shoulder. I looked him in the eye and he said "oi you get up and fight me" I told him no and that I didn't want any trouble. But then his friends started in on me calling me a wimp and a chicken. So I stood up just so I could walk away but he shoved me again. I didn't want to fight so i didn't react. Next thing I know two of his friends picked me up by the wrists and ankles and threw me against a tree. I landed in a heap at the base of the tree. They surrounded me and started in on the insults. "you're pathetic" "you're worthless" " you have no friends" "you'll never get anywhere" "you'll die on the streets"
    I was in tears but not because of the insults or being thrown into a tree but because there was two teachers not one but TWO teachers standing at the side of the yard watching and doing nothing.

    So I would like to let those teachers know that I have never forgiven you for letting me suffer like that. I never will because of that I haven't fully trusted adults since then. So well done on ruining a major part of my life.

    In various capacities of life, there are people who take ownership and those who don't--for better or for worse. The ones who take ownership feel they are responsible for the outcome of said capacity. The ones who don't take ownership will not see a reason why they should care.

    Wherever life takes you, I hope that you take ownership of the things that are important to you. It is tragic that your schoolteachers felt no ownership or responsibility for the welfare and security of the children/adolescents they were charged to take care of.
