Bullying

Too much going on in my head nowadays. Especially after all the T-ara hoo-ha.

Well what exactly is bullying? Most know it comes in forms other than physical, as there's mental bullying involved also. And then again, everyone's definition of bullying might differ. Ultimately, the biggest bully may just be you yourself.

Just like how everyone's threshold of pain differs, the extent of mental bullying is a particularly vague issue to approach. Some may think that calling names is bullying, while others might think that its still a relatively acceptable behaviour. Some people may not like to mingle with crowds an prefer to be a social outcast, while others may view being outcasted a terrible form of emotional bullying. Whatever it is, the line is very undefined.

A person can get bullied by his classmates at age 5, and can still be bullied at his workplace at age 55. The only thing different is how one views it; and that's the very thing that is keeping you from suffering from depression. You possibly have gotten used to it and become immune to it, or perhaps you have learned how to stand up for yourself against your bullies. Good, cause it shows you have matured.

One can never rid themselves of bullies. There's so many forms of bullies, gang bullies, corporate bullies, government bullies, or even a collective society of harmless people that upon certain circumstances become bullies themselves unintentionally. This pretty much shows how life is never a bed of roses, since those menacing thorns are always threatening to make nasty wounds and scars onto you.

And this, is not called "what goes around, comes around", even if the bullying cycle does repeat in this manner. Anyways, a life of no bullies will never exist, just the same way as how the world will never be rid of people labelled as "bad".


Well, kpop might not be as perfect as it seems, and this T-ara issue might uncover the deepest and darkest side, both of idols and management companies. Word of advice to any company, do not ever mistreat your staff, and never ever try to lie through your teeth. Honesty has always been highly valued in any society, and people would always be quick to criticise the bad, no matter what the reason is. CCM definitely have management issues and character issues, T-jinyo is an anti-bullying fandom set to bully T-ara. Contradicting as it sounds, but still true.
