I just read this entire thread, and honestly, all of my fith on humanity has been restored. The people on the Internet can sometimes be so uncaring, calling people racial and homophobic slurs, and generally being complete assholes. Those kind of people make me just want to leave the Internet completely. And then I see people like this. Caring ones, people that actually understand what you have been through and will give their honest opinions about you, instead of just calling you names because they don't care. I have dealt with bullying ever since I left South Africa and moved to Canada. Every school I've been in has made fun of the things I like and the way I speak. It has come to the point where I only have one or two Canadian friends, ad my other friends are either yognau(gh)t and gamers alike. I have been bullied so much because of my actions, I have developed two personalities. the first one is for when I'm around people like me, and I guess, people like all of you. The people who understand. That personality if for me to just be me. Then my second personality, is my "Canadian/Public" appearance. I speak with an accent that has been developed to actually sound American, I try to fit in, making the right jokes, the right things to say, but I still don't fit in. But at the end of the day, I really don't even care. I don't care because I know I can come back to my computer, sit down, and there are people that ATUALLY care about what I'm saying, and aren't jus pretending. That, is why I love the Internet. You never know what kind of people you will meet. Good or bad.
