"... because that's what bullying teaches. It teaches you that you have to bully or be bullied. You're either the hunter or the prey..."
I learned that pretty quickly... I was wanked, and admittedly figured out that if I didn't wank back, and ignored it, it was seen as an admission of guilt.
But the thing is, I also learned that wanking back doesn't really do anything either - except take time and energy and make you look just as wanky as the person/people who started it all.
That's when I learned the best lesson: Choose your battles wisely, and don't put effort into anything that you don't feel absolutely PASSIONATE about.
If someone is bashing gays, I might say something to them. If someone is mocking rape victims, I will say something to them.
