Back in the day, I sucked it up out of fear that doing something about it would interfere with my chances of success in life, I was certain that I would get some kind of record or label that would negatively impact the opinions my teachers and future teachers would have of me and would eventually result in a negative influence of my grades or hinder my chances in getting wherever I wanted to go in life.
What Would I do if I could do it all over again? I'd stand up for myself, make a ruckus, fight when needed regardless of my odds. Cause face it, all the bullies I've seen have been able to get wherever they wanted in life without that aspect of their personality and trouble at school hindering them.
So what do I do now? What would I do now? If I am bullied or someone is in my presence, I speak up, give people my opinion of how immature and lame it is and how we ain't in freaking kinder garden anymore. Sure I don't get into fights, I just speak up and flood people with the stupidity and pointlessness of their own actions intended to demean, belittle, make fun of, humiliate another. If someone swings a punch at me? I step back and ask them wtf they're doing. If they keep swinging then sure, I'll get physical too, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or the fact that there is a need to stand up for myself or another. I get so damned disappointed in such a large portion of humanity every time bullieng happens.... So yea what would I do ? Stand up for myself before bullying me becomes a habit.
WWYD if you had to try to teach a Strong Artificial Intelligence some measure of understanding about what it like to have Emotions/Feelings?
