When I was still a little kid, people around me used to say I have the "Superiority Complex". I was proud and hard- headed. Well as a kid, I don't know about that kind of attitude. I used to bully my playmates and my brother. The only people I cant bully that time were my older cousins; because they were the ones who were bullying me. So, I should say, I learnt from the bests.
Came Elementary years...
When I was in grade, there was this one boy (a classmate of mine) who kept on bullying me. He always made fun of me; and I, just let him. I just collected my anger and stored it in a jar in a little corner in my head with the label, "Revenge will be fast- approaching". So anyways, as days went by, he was still bullying me, upto to the point when he was stabbing me with the sharp end of his pencil. I kept mum about it. .Never told my parents nor my teacher. Of course I held grudge. That classmate was also a neighbor of ours, and his parents knew me and my family. Still I kept mum about it...
Then one day, that was a weekend.
I was playing outside when his mother walked by. She asked me about his son's performance in school. Was he good in class? Was he participating in class activities? etc. etc etc. So, I told her, "Tita J.R. is very quiet in school (that's true) but Tita he was always stabbing me with his pencil" then I let her see the almost healed stab- wounds with matching puppy eyes and a hint of a tear. Yeah.... Bitter-sweet revenge!
The next day, I saw him limping. . hahaha. . . Revenge at its finest. I asked him with matching smirk, " Oyy kamusta? Masakit ba?" Hahahaha. From then on, I became the bully and he was the bullied. I didn't stab him like what he did to me, I just used my mouth and my punchy words.
From then on the bullied became the bully.
Next was in High School...
I have this friend... Yes my bestfriend upto this day... When ever she opens her mouth to speak, I instantly "Bara" her. I dont know. there's something about her that need to be bullied. That's my way of showing my friendship. We've been friends for 16 years now, still I bully her. There were also these classmates of mine (HS classmates), they are a group and still a group upto this day, that I kept on bullying. In Facebook, whenever they have conversations or comments in their posts, I join uninvited and mess with their topic. But we all laugh when I "basag" their trip.
College came....
I became part of a all-guys group, I became their muse. These guys taught me the art of being a bully. Our other classmates were always the subject to be bullied, especially those classmates who are always quiet yong hindi umiimik sa klase, they were always the target. We did not bully like hurt them physically or utter downing words, Our ways are just to make the class laugh and create a lively environment.
But with all those stories of mine. I can say to you I am not the bad bully type. . I'm just the "basag-trip" type.
I don't tolerate bullies who destroy or demean other people. I'm against those type of people.
To those who are being hurt or being destroyed by those kinds of people, dont hesitate to seek help from the proper authorities.
-A friendly reminder from the basag- trip bully over here!.
