Love help: i go to a catholic skool but y are the ppl there so mean? - Help.com

Catholic schools tend to repress a lot of things, so kids start finding other avenues to vent their agression.

hi again Lani, there are mean people everywhere. may it be a catholic community or not.:o)

You mean there are no nice people? I don’t believe that…
Maybe its just how people are, i mean chavvy and all that. It’s probably not a school wehere everyone is catholic i’m guessing, i mean, some parents send their kids there becuase its a nice school regardless of religion
I bet you can find someone nice to be friends with ;)

yeah i guess that happens in every school…
just stick up for her. You may not want to if it means they will be nasty to you as well. So maybe befriend her? Because she would probably appreciate knowing that not everyone hates her.

Its school. Over the years, school really is getting more seperated into cliques where one group will hate another. there will be gossip, fighting, and so much more but its gonna happen everywhere

I went to a Catholic school and because I was the most non-Catholic person around, people hated me. If you’re not Catholic, stay away. But if you’re gonna stay, go along with their religion anyway even if it isn’t what you believe. At least look like you want to convert… That’s what I had to do before I left. -_-”

Whoops, I see, it’s not you being bullied. Why is the girl being picked on? Is she a different religion or race than most of the students? That’s probably why.

it shouldn’t matter what she looks like or what religion she is. i go to a catholic school to and we don’t pick on people who are diffrent from us in anyway. if we do pick on somebody then they prolly did sometin really b*tchy. could she have done something like that and there for noone likes her? and if she’s is completely innocent then why don’t you be her freind she prolly has low sel esteem and is really shy.

Befriending her is risky. At least fill out an anonymous form reporting the situation and who is involved, being sure to send it to a guidance office to check.

We had a couple of girls who weren’t Catholic and i went to a Catholic scool - we were all just one class. I know that befriending someone who is being picked on is quite risky but that’s part of being the bigger person - i know that i haven’t always practiced that one that i preach but i’ve been trying to and as a person who was bullied at another scool and later bullied a girl who was in a similar situation to what i had been in - if you befriend that girl she will appreciate it immensely and it’s likely she’d be one of ur most loyal friends and ur helpin her could help her resolve problems that could b part of the conflict she’s havin with those other ppl. The girl who i was mean to is now part of my group - she’s a sweet, beautiful persona dnonly my own pigheadedness caused me not to see that.
You do the right thing - being Catholic doesn’t automatically make u a good person that those ppl should know better - God bless you

Its true what Marconius said. Cathloic school kids could be cruel but also in public school. In Every school there are dumb kids. And there is always a kid that gets picked on constantly.
Just dont do what the other kids are doing. You should be friends with that girl. It would help her out alot if she atleast had one friend to go to. You could only imagine how hard it must be for her to wake up every morning and walk into school.

I agree with marconius… catholic school kids are so repressed in every aspect. i think they’re worse and more bullying goes on. I know cuz I went to catholic school and I hated it so much

well thanx for the generalisation soyinfinita - i’m glad u have clearly defined for me what i must be since i’ve gone to a Catholic School - all these years wondering and now i know - it’s because i’m repressed in every aspect - well my future’s clear from here on out

Anyway - yeah you should definately help the girl - it would make her and u feel better and it’s the right thing
good luck

There are no good or bad people just who we choose to be.

If you are getting bullied speak up.

If someone else is being bullied go support them. This doesnt mean you go bash the bullies, it means you tel someone with the autority to stop it.
