I was 9 years old here and we’d been living in London for 4 years. A year later we’d move back to Glasgow me now with a proper London boy accent so you can imagine how well that went down🙄. I spent the next 3 years being systematically bullied by older & bigger boys, always in groups too they’d chase me home from school or at night, catch me, give a beating then let me run again before chasing again and giving me another beating. I never told anyone back then, I was too embarrassed and it only ever stopped when I started hitting back but by then it was too late as I was now in children’s homes. if any of you are reading this btw I remember every single one of your names and this might sound bizarre but even though I don’t fully blame you I don’t forgive any of you either, I cant, and truth be told I don’t want to.
So who do I blame? I blame the environment we’re raised in as that’s responsible for everything. Its a mixture of it all, a lack of good parenting, a lack of good schooling and I don’t mean the educational part I mean the lack of teaching kids to respect each other, to love each other and to look out for and protect one another, this is majorly lacking from the ground up. I’m a bit of fantasist I’ll admit that but imagine how many less c**** there would be, how much better the world would be in general if from an early age at school and at home instead of for example drilling religion into us they drilled morality and basic human decency for all, like daily! Imagine they taught us how to interact properly, how to love and respect everyone more regardless of who they are. Listen I know you can’t eradicate evil completely but trying too by spending much more time on each other rather than burying our heads in academics would surely pay off in the long run🤷🏻♂️
Just my thoughts, as I said I’m a fantasist.
Have an amazing weekend everyone 💖
