i think it is so sad

when u saw someone getting bullied, will you offer your hand to help the victim? have you ever been a target for bullies?

i was watching shigofumi and this episode is about a student who committed suicide due to excessive bullying. his classmate, whom he sought help from, thought that he was helping him by agreeing to the bullies' request which resulted in more bullying. the victim who felt betrayed killed himself and the victim of target shifted to the classmate whom the victim sought help from. the protagonist, being the deliverer of letters from the dead, delivered a letter from the dead victim to the classmate gloating that he is now going through the same ordeal that he did. however, the different thing is, in the end the classmate retaliated and hurt one of the bullies badly but landed himself into deep shit anyway.

of course the bullying might be exaggerated in the anime, but what made me feel dismayed was how the bullies felt nothing when their target committed suicide because of them, and nonchalantly went on to pick their next target. through this, i was thinking this could be how those terrorists felt when setting up bombs to cause death - the value of human life is 0, nothing. death of a human means nothing to them.

i'm not going to do the same thing by chiding such actions, it is already a given fact that such actions are condemned anyway.

i just want to say that i hate bullies. and have i been bullied before? i think maybe i have been bullied, but i didnt realise it because of my O-ness. hahahahhaa. so i guess in a way i feel that i have not been bullied.

the only thing i can think of is to stand up to bullies. cos the reason why bullies act the way they do is because they felt insecure. so the best thing is to bully them back. =D and they will back off. if there is a danger of doing so, please seek help from someone. someone, anyone that can help. never stay silent, cos the bullying will only get worse. it will not go away if the victim does nothing; silence will only encourage the bullies' action.

and onto shigofumi, i am excited to see how the protagonist's past is going to be revealed. how she became a deliverer of letters from the dead, when she isn't exactly all that dead.......
