Why do Jocks get away with it?

[LightningBanks]

Give secrets to rival football teams, and get them to beat the jocks up

or, more sensibly, tell your parents to stop wasting your money on a school thats bad for you

 

[tjarne]

Ouch and I thought I had it bad...

Whenever it comes up on this forum it's never really pretty. It pretty much always devolves into revenge fantasy. I've also seen a lot of the passive aggressiveness in school by "nerds", probably because I wasn't one in high school. A lot of the time these people were so obnoxious that other nerds wouldn't hang out with them because they were so condescending all the time.

The valedictorian in my high school class was on a sport team. Does that make them a jock or a nerd?

It's one of those things that seems to have got mixed up, the idea that nerds are tortured geniuses stuck among the ignorant masses. Being a nerd means you're socially inept and normally rather aloof, not that you're smart. Personally I reckon that the reason nerds think they're smarter is because that's all they've really got going for them.

Calling someone a 'jock' and thinking them brutish and stupid is just discrimination to make the nerd feel better, most of the really intelligent people I know (not me, I mean people that leave me gobsmacked) are well rounded, rather popular and physically active. As I said in another thread ages ago, you're not a nerd because of something you can do, you're a nerd for something you can't do.

Just like you can be a jock because you are too stupid to devote your time to activities other than sports. Same think, doh!

Maybe you should have gone to the police. Or just spoken to a lawyer. Seriously.

 

[Lord_Panzer]

Maybe you should have joined the army, on a unrelated sidenote, have you ever seen full metal jacket ?

I see what you did there.

You are a very funny man with a dry wit.

I like.

have you ever seen full metal jacket ?

I've seen about half of it, it was funny (if I'm thinking of the right movie)

I prefer Hot Shots
though and nah I'm good... I'm not really strong so much as I'm smart
or in that case angry

Funny as hell!

Hehehehehehehehe. Jocks beat him up and geeks mock him.
Faith in Escapist community +5. I love you guys.

Well who the fuck is going to earn all those sponsers and awards for the school if all the asswipes on a team are gone? I know the majority of athletes don't act like muscle bound brutes, but there are a few in any type of team. The school didn't want to do shit because they want to make money, they don't give a flying fuck about individual students if they threaten this. It's all bullshit and it's bad for ya.

 

[Stabber1010]

Snip

well, if thats so. I just dont know how you can continue it to be subtle, when your school's administrative body knows of the prior incidents. Besides, I dont think its very satisfying in this case if the guy you're doing it about doesnt know youre doing it.

I am terrible because I get satisfaction from...just that, really. I am going to use a poor analogy here since it is the only thing I can think of. I like to think of it in a "puppetmaster that asks nothing from his puppets" kind of way.

I just realized he can't do the newspaper thing anyway, since he said he was expelled. MOOT.

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Because they are cowards, bastards and the ones who are stgnating the human race.
Karma exists,boy, and they will end up in prison, and well... 'nuff said.
The thing is, you're stronger than them because you fought back, and they are the cowards that exploit others.

 

[Nouw]

Tell your parents. Tell the media.

You have got a winning combination, but I think it's just your school that's slightly fucked up.

But I would also suggest taking up some sort of Martial Art or Yoga. It calms the senses and makes you a 'better' person. Trust me.

Now next time someone tries to fuck with you, you can break their arm! or something less serious >.>

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Man, you wouldn't have to put up with that shit in public school, guaranteed. It's one of those rare times where their paranoid over-reactionary stance on violence-related issues would be both warranted and helpful.

 

[Vidiot]

Trust me dude, I was beaten unconscious by 3 dudes in front of 150 witnesses, and I was the one suspended, after that, I was suspended again when I was stabbed in the arm with a scissors by a kid who thought I was going to go on a school shooting. Some instructors ignored it, others encouraged the abuse, while the only 2 supportive ones recommended I leave the school.

After I was expelled for wearing a trenchcoat (after I was stabbed) I found an awesome "alternative school" about an hour away. That was probably the best thing that could have happened out of that situation. Everyone thought that alternative schools were just for "special education" kids and dropouts, but you should look into it. Best school experience ever.

My advice: Find an alternative school near you, or tough it out for a bit longer, and take solace that this kind of shit doesn't fly in most colleges.

The climb up a rope has been thrown out of schools in 2000 so that does not made a ton of sense.

 

[kikon9]

This sounds like a very american archetype. Guys pull that shit over here they get held accountable for their actions, educations more important than winning the season or whatever.

Aren't you lucky.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Public schools, yes. This is a private school.

OT: That is unfortunate. If it happens again, threaten lawsuit again.

 

[kikon9]

Wait it out, write a book about it later in life, make money.

 

[Aulleas123]

Take it to a lawyer and/or the Superintendent. It's their job to try to solve this stuff.

Also, try to find out specifically why they're after you, it's easier said than done but if you get targeted for some reason then try to find out why.

It seems to me that this really isn't your fault, don't blame yourself for the actions of others. I will also tell you that people treat each other better after high school. Sure, there will be pricks in the world, but the great majority of people grow out of their high school treatments and become normal members of society.

OK no, I'm no sportsman but I can see a problem with that. You can't be good at sports instead of being smart, sports take ability and practice as much as any other pursuit. How many cases of 'jocks' beating on 'nerds' are caused because the jocks feel like they're not necessarily doing so well in class and know damn well what's being said behind their backs. That's why nerds get so much shit; they're not as good at playing the game as they think. They take pride in doing what they consider 'smart things' and dismiss everything else as unimportant or unskilled. Social and physical skills are just as important as academic skills and just as difficult, it's nerd arrogance to think they could do those things if they wanted to.

Ok you're mixing up different points here.

- Nerds get shit because they're not socially savvy
- Jocks get all the attention / girls because they are athletic (sexyyy!) and arent afraid to compete in tests of strength (sexxxxyy!)
- Unless a nerd has some kind of disability; he can do those things are jock can do, genetic traits needed to be at least acceptable at some physically exerting sport (like most jocks are, they're not olympic athletes) are not exactly rare
- A jock can't become a nerd; most of them are too stupid. Please go take an IQ test of all jocks & nerds at your local high school to prove my point.

 

[Tdc2182]

Picture it this way.

Take the abuse till you get to actual "living". Jocks rarely get scholarships. Nerds make rockets.

Rockets which are very expensive.

They'll all be burnt out by College, I guarantee you. The "rich" school where I live has a higher crack rate then the ghettos around where we live. The kids are stupid as shit.

well I rang the bell and slid down the rope a little (because I didn't trust them for a reason) then about half way down the rope I let go and fell for the pad

the quarterback then proceeded to pull the pad out from under me and I hit the hard-wood floor with a loud thud

everyone laughed

I then lost my temper and garroted the quarterback with the rope (wrapped it around his neck and pulled tight) yelling that he would never do that again

then things became very serious; the teacher yelled at the class to "get him off of him" and well yeah you can see where things went

Well There's your problem. although to get this clear, what you did was "badass" and I as a porky awkward kid gut bullied to some extent so I've daydreamed of doing similar things. but the problem is that you accidentally let yourself become worse than the bullies, and I know I suck for saying that, but its true. Yes, they beat you and bruised over a long period. But no-one saw that, it wasn't harmless, but it was less "impressionable".

The best way is to show them who's boss without overstepping any boundaries. I once dropped a bully to the floor and punched him like a moron in front of the class BUT, not only did he not have a scratch on him to prove it, no one vouched for him, and the teachers never believed him. I got away scot-free.

Don't get me wrong, your school system is biased and broken. but i'm just saying that.... Strangling a guy with a rope? really?

I was just trying to get my point across of who's really at the top of the pecking order

and I'm more of an "evil genius" then a "nerd"
really skinny
always thinking
show no emotion most of the time

it's actually kinda funny

but the matrix jokes people make every time they see me with sunglasses on got old

 

[loc978]

...I blame your parents for sending you to a private school... any place like that is nothing but a "good ol' boys" club now.
