Oh hi,

So, when you saw an opportunity to give a struggling, vulnerable young fellow human being some words of support or encouragement, you instead decided to go for a banal, inane, inappropriate and infantile comment.

Okay.

Just wanted you to know that you're not a good person.

Thanks for reading, and bye!

[(Anonymous)]

yes, we should support this vulnerable young fellow human in the idea of burning down a school... wait what??

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Yeah, but even though OP says they have no plans to shoot up their school or whatever, it's not that big a leap to want to go from setting fire to the place and gunning people down there. I had an acquaintance in high school who set fire to one of the bathrooms there, and he later admitted that if he'd had access to firearms, he probably would have come in and shot people. And I'm a Coloradan. I remember Columbine. I also remember stabbings, bomb threats and plenty of other things that didn't even make the news. If things get bad enough, rationality goes out the window, and OP might not give two fucks about going to prison.

This secret kinds of freaks me out, ngl.

I feel the same way. This secret does freak me out too for the same reasons.

I think people are misunderstanding this secret. Having thoughts about hurting the bullies does not mean you are going to do anything. I know because I've felt the same way and I don't have a violent bone in my body. I won't even squash a fly.

Bullying can be extremely damaging, to the extent that it can leave people with symptoms similar to those of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (usually attributed to people who have lived in war zones). When you've been badly bullied and you never got justice for what happened you can be left feeling angry and frustrated that the bullies never suffered as you did, and fantasies like this are a way of your brain expressing that. Just like people who fantasise about punching their nightmare boss, it doesn't mean the person would do it, it's just the only way they can deal with an awful situation where they feel powerless. I'm not saying it's healthy, and I do hope the OP finds away of getting this out because it can really eat away at you. Still, I'm really saddened that instead of sympathy some of you are basically saying that this person is a potential mass murderer instead of understanding that they've been through something terrible and are struggling to deal with it. It is incredibly ignorant to assume that everything a person thinks is a direct indication of what they will do, especially when they explicitly said they would NOT do that. Our brains, and particularly the way they deal with psychological trauma, are extremely complex. Please try to show some understanding and don't judge someone who is clearly already hurting.

Big difference between fantasizing about it and actually doing something destructive though. Lots of people have these kinds of thoughts. It just stays under wraps because it's not socially acceptable to admit your world makes you mad enough to want to watch it burn.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet it's not the fact that other kids are hurting this person and making them miserable enough to have these feelings in the first place -- but rather that this person has these feelings regardless of a stated refusal to act on them in the way that you're so worried about.

Bullies freak me out. Victims of bullying having idle fantasies of revenge and empowerment does not. And I was in high school when Columbine happened. Worry more about "things getting bad enough" and less about what OP might do if/when that happens. Seriously.
