Losing my virginity
My first B3TA post so please be nice. I like to think that upper school wasn't too hideous, however there was one fellow student in particular who liked to destroy what little confidence my group of friends had on a weekly basis. We were on the fringe of school society, hardly known by the popular crowd however fast forward five years and we are all still the best of friends in contrast to those who had nothing better to do than to take the piss. the point of this post you ask? my reaction to the death of the 'one fellow student', it doesn't matter how, (alcohol induced) what matters is the reaction of those whose lives he ridiculed. The words; 'sorely missed,' 'one in a millon,' and 'a really good mate' spewed by some of those he chose to bully.

My anger? both at the hypocrisy of some of these reactions and the lack of courage people showed in their memories of him on the 'memorial facebook group'. Death of anyone sudden is a tragedy for those who hold that individual dear, however what are you to do when someone who tried to routinely humiliate you is now immortalised in local culture as an 'angel'....

bitter you might suggest?

No..... just angry that those who should have stood up for themselves were the first in the line to kiss arse.

The posts will improve with experience... so will the humour, that I can guarantee!

one day
I would love the news to run a story of some young person dying and going "his friends and family all agree that young xxx was a bit of a cunt really, and the world is a better place without him/her"

aha!
This actually happened near me...

Kid made his parents', and pretty much everyone elses', lives Hell for 18 years.

Then dies suddenly due to a drug habit that caused his heart to become enlarged and eventually stop working.

The only (printable) comment his dad made about his death?

"I never thought I'd say my son had a big heart"

This happened a few years ago and there's a facebook page for him too.
Mostly his friends and hangers-on recalling good times they had with him, but also some of the people who he set out to make their lives a misery.

I've refrained from commenting on it as I didn't have that much to do with him, but it made me think they were a bit sad for saying how great he was when he bullied them every day.

The song and dance made when Luke died
made my blood boil. I didn't contribute to the memorial fund, didn't attend the special assembly they held for him, mostly because I knew I would be unwelcome, but also because I could not have sat there and listened to them banging on about how well liked he was and what a credit to the school he was without standing up and screaming "NO! He was an utter cunt and I hope he rots in hell! You all saw what he did to me and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves sitting here waxing lyrical about what a lovely guy he was!".

Excuse me, it's time for my pills. Either that, or I'll end up going and trolling the "Maladicta's Old School Massive!!!" communities on Facebook - or getting 4chan to do it for me.

I'm every day resisting the urge to type
on the "Write your good times with XXXX" thread on his facebook group.

Was a horrible thieving scumbag who caused much misery to me in my first two lonely years at secondary school.
Induced the entire class into laughing at me on the first day
by pretending to be my friend then ridiculing me.
Beating me up by pummeling me with my own school bag.

The fucker is dead now, when I heard I was umoved, it is only through reading the gushing hypocritical eulogies that I feel anything about his death - anger.

truth
I guess there is some truth to "you reap what you sow"... And I did have the news article somewhere but I deleted it when the anger faded away!
