Erm...What You Get Is What You Deserve?

[HeyRiles]

A girl in my school, one that's kinda my friend and has told me that she used to like me, had a seizure at school today. Ambulance came, second ambulance that's been to the school in a month (the first being the guy that got a pencil stabbed into a buttcheek). Apparently this is the third seizure she's had, and she's seventeen

I hope she's okay, I haven't been able to talk to her yet

But anyway, apparently she is horrible to most everybody she has met. She talks crap and spreads rumors about a lot of people, she's obnoxious, and she is large, so everybody really dislikes her - some people even hate her. So, when she had her seizure, people just passed on without thinking, some people openly said that they didn't care it was her, and some people were even giggling about it, as if they enjoyed her suffering

Is this really a correct way to act in a society? What goes around comes around? Shouldn't we at least show some remorse for those who have been mean to us previously? Maybe they will return kindness if you show it first, especially when they are in a life-threatening predicament.

Those are just my thoughts, anyway. It really just makes me sad that everyone saw this life-threatening episode indifferently instead of feeling concern. I don't know.

Yeah, that's really terrible. Maybe I just have a lot of empathy for people, but if I saw anyone at all in a situation like that, I'd do anything I could to help.

[CommonCriminal]

I don't know. Since I'm on the internet, I'll be honest. There is a few people I wouldn't try to help.

It sounds bad, but to see it would be awesome!

One word... Schadenfreude.

OT: I would've told someone to call an ambulance at least, if I didn't call one myself, but if it were someone I really disliked, that's about all I'd do. It's people like her that cause this mentality in the first place so yes, you very much do get treated the way you treat others.

1. Ok first, that made my day.

2, But secondly, even though she sounds like a jerk, when someone is in that kind of situation you need to feel some concern. 'Shame some people are like that.

But back to the buttcheek thing, earlier this year My friend and I reached for a paper and she accidently stabbed me in the hand with her pencil which hurt, but into your butt, uhhhh*shivers*

Last year, kids made these things called "hornets" which were really oddly folded pieces of paper in a V shape and shot them out of rubber bands. One kid got mobbed: Shot in the nuts, both eyes, and neck. All 3 kids who shot him were suspended a semester. Poor kid, those things hurt on the arm.

Holy Crap, I would imagine it would hurt.

Getting shot in the arse hurts with those too.

A lot of people don't know how to react in the event of a seizure. Some may even think it's being faked.

If this girl's situation at school is as bad as you claim, it certainly sounds like she isn't doing much to make it better, and that's her call. Maybe she isn't able to appreciate that kindness from strangers is needed sometime, and that may come from whatever her background has been. I don't feel it's appropriate to comment any more than that without knowing her.
