What's the worst thing you hate to be called?

[LIP]

It's sounds like a lot of people here don't like to take the initiative and step up to the plate. They'd rather back away and turn the blame on the opposition.

I was always friends with everyone through school. Freshman year in high school, I was in a few advanced classes, so I got to know some 'really smart, do the right thing' thing kids and was cool with them. I was like them at the time. Summer going into Sophomore year I started puffing herb with my best friend from elementary (one of the smartest kids I know, but didn't give a shit about school too much)...along with a bunch of others I've known.

Then sophomore year, some of the 'really smart, do the right thing' kids in a few classes would give a couple jabs about the weed...I would just give a forceful right hand back (metaphorically). To let 'em know...I happen to puff a bit now, so what. 'Why you such a bitch, scared of a fucking plant dude? Come on give it a shot"...that's when they would back away. We were still cool in class, it was more of a subtle battle about the buda. These kids never drank or anything all the way through high school.

But, as everyone else slowly started smoking and drinking and partying, the jabs would not come (not that I gave a fuck anyway, I found it funny)...by Senior year, I still had no big problem with this bunch...and now that 90% of our class was heavily drinking a few times a week and a good percentage smoking (and those who didn't really didn't care...it was 'normal' to smoke weed by this time)....you could see the respect they gave me by looking in their eyes. Here I am...smart kid...a few advanced classes, sports, yet not devoting much time to studying and still doing good....all while being more respected than them, more 'popular' than them...and smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol as much as I wanted.

All in all...most of the time anyone calls you a 'stoner' or whatever you people say they call you...it's based upon either the fact that they are self-concious themselves, or they are jealous of your fun. If you use these two facts back against them, they will fold. Not that it should matter either way...if someone 'looks down on you', turn the situation around and 'look down on them'..they aren't perfect, noone is...let 'em know they are a piece of shit for calling you names...or let 'em know with a right hand if necessary.

Basically...moral: Take the initiative, don't let people stand above you...I really hope this gives some kids on the boards some faith and turns around their thinking to form a more positive approach to their life and people around it.

Thanks for your time lol.

Wow man *hippie voice*

:hippy: Faaaar out mac.

I hate being called a pothead, because most of the time, it's not what they say, it's how they say it.

Really though, I've learned to let that shit roll off the back of me, otherwise I'll end up a like minded robot. ~

That's what i hated about lower school.

It was more insulting that they couldnt even be bothered to get an insult RIGHT! It got on my nerves so much, and they knew it did, but im not the kind of person who can ignore, i wish i was though, but yeah, same stupid, really childish comments every damn day. I felt embarased to be around them even though they were insulting me coz they looked so stupid doing it. It was stuff that toddlers do - they know no better.

in the situation i explained..i would always just ask them to be original and think of something else to say. they never could come up with anything so i would turn the equation around and tell them how stupid they were for being such a plageurist. they never got it because they were obviously too stupid to understand.

LOL, what's with the 'hippy' shit. It was basically saying don't be a pussy, because 90% of people in this thread sound like one...'Don't call me names!"

Come on now...

If you feel like a bug, you will get sqaushed in this world.

dude the thread was what do you hate being called, not how do you retaliate when being scrutinized.

Nothing, im just really fried and my brain shorted out after reading that, but it was a good storey. I cant think of the word coz im half in half out of a coma :thumbsup:

The world is big... and then the universe... the mind boggles, and then disolves. But alas, weed shall rebuild, and turn me into a leaf.

There is no reason to let yourself be scrutinized, especially over a hobby.

And Amen Lippa....I'm really glad your back...you bring smile to face.

you cant help scrutiny. people are going to examine you no matter what. if someone thinks you are ugly, thats what they think.

i think what you mean is there is no reason to let yourself be stepped on. and of course there is no reason for that, but everyone responds to social opinion differently. some people are aggressive, some are passive. it all depends on your mindset and the terms of situation.

Haha, this is true mac...

Plus, it's a compliment to be called a hippy as far as I'm concerned. Shit, I'd take it. :hippy:
