High School Drama | Reading Reddit Stories

[@LordGertz]

It is truly amazing how many bullies apparently suffer from the medical condition of intermittent amnesia.

[@andyp4437]

It's more they gas light themselves. "It didn't happen like that, I'm a good person" Then they tell themselves this until they literally no long remember what happened

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

the good old 'politician at a hearing" trick- they do not recall

[@LordGertz]

@andyp4437 Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. And those who do not atone for their sins can not be forgiven. It can even be argued that by willfully "forgetting" their bullying past, they are, in fact, continuing to bully their victims. And even if they truthfully could not remember, a decent person would apologize for any hurt or pain they caused another when reminded of it, if only to help alleviate another's suffering and help their healing journey.

[@SirNightmareFuel]

​@@LordGertzWell Said!! ❤

[@supertoezen]

No seriously, i think its actually a thing. Most people somehow dont remember their behaviour as bullying. Its just a small part of their high school experience while its way bigger for the person experiencing it sees it way bigger

didn't they also say that there were marks based on attendance

[@BearKnigh7]

​@@cricketcoop2038yup. My mindset is they're all dumb for banking everything on this single thing, ESPECIALLY the ones who wouldn't graduate if they failed. Even then if you're gonna depend on the study sheet at the very lowest least SHOW UP! 20% grade for attendance is not something to just shrug off. At least show up even if you're not gonna put in effort and depend on what they were treating as basically a cheat sheet. Don't know the timeframe between the mid and final term, but that's a big chunk to just shrug off so you can go party.

[@rachaelpelletier6711]

The fact that everyone told this girl she "caused them" to fail is so wild. She was literally just attending the class, she's not obligated to help other people who don't even want to be associated with her.

[@BlueGriffin20]

Right. If it’s a 20/40/40 deal and you got a 75 on the mid, I’d think you’d be doing everything in your power to bump up that attendance score. Like the curve can help a bit, but really get the easy points.

I knew IMMEDIATELY that he was gaslighting her by acting like he was her boyfriend all of a sudden. He thought he was being slick.

[@willpowerwisps4939]

Yeah my first thought was that this was a manipulation tactic on his end. There’s no way it was a genuine misunderstanding. He thought he could trick her into a relationship 😅

[@TheLongDreamer]

A similar thing happened to my recent ex (my HS sweetheart. We're still good friends/roommates despite everything.) She unfortunately didn't have the self-worth back then to turn down the misogynist/emotional abuser he (of course) turned out to be. Even after breaking it off, even after we were dating long-term, even after /moving states/ and going almost completely no contact for ~5 years he still acted like they were together despite her constant protest. Took nearly 10 years to untangle the whole mess. Was very grateful to hear OP shut it down!

[@azarinevil]

For me it was weird that the parents were to blame.. the OP's partner chose to go to a for profit private college to get a degree she should have known wasn't going to get her a job, and paid for it by agreeing to pay for it with a job that never existed. Gives me "You maybe protected but your family will suffer" vibes.

[@thespankmyfrank]

Right? Like, I get the money is a huge deal and it would be hard to come back from it, but... cutting her parents out of their life over it it so dramatic omg. Before they've even TRIED discussing it with them. Maybe they were fine with her not paying back? Maybe they were okay with some sort of payment plan over decades? Like, there's options here other than paying it all at once and not paying it at all and cutting off the family lol.

Sorry for my english

[@foo8327]

The reason the brother didn't tell the family is 100% because he was afraid his sister would tell the family and thought she wouldn't say anything if they were all at dinner.

[@Konoshy]

I also think he knew that if he told them her name while dating they would not approve at all. With how the parents reacted, it's almost a guarantee that he knew (even subconsciously) that if he could make it all the way to the fiancee stage that his parents would be willing to drop the issue.

[@shmoopydarling]

it's like that one comment said, the brother was manipulative too

I’ve met a lot of absolutely unhinged teens, I imagine a lot of us have, and a lot of them would have easily been able to do this if alpha bro content was prevalent back then.

Licensed Nurse here, Shayne is correct on the protocol for seizures. Don’t put anything in their mouth, like a spoon or especially a finger unless you plan to loose it. A seizure is essential neuron overload and that overload could cause their jaw to clamp shut beyond normal strength possibly biting your finger off or breaking their teeth on a spoon.😅 After getting them to the ground safely, the two big things is protecting the head from injury, laying it on your lap is fine, and airway protection including removing tight jewelry or clothing around the neck and turning them in the recover position if they start to vomit so they don’t choke. Stay with the victim and don’t hold them down, let the seizure happen. Many times seizures resolve themselves. Do be ready to orient the victim after they come too because confusion post seizure is common.

[@Jigglypowerpuffgirl]

And eyes closed isn’t impossible. I had a customer have a seizure and his eyes were closed the whole time. It was absolutely real as we called ems and they took over. He was in the parking lot and I put his my tennis shoe under his head to protect him from the asphalt. It was so scary, but my basic cpr and safety training kicked in. Ems said I did a good job. I hope it never happens again, but at least I know what to do.

[@C0ttonEyes]

Note don’t move the person unless necessary (I.e vomiting, choking or unsafe environment). My sister has dislocated her shoulder because she got stuck in the couch during one, you holding them could cause the same effect

[@Letgo13inG]

@@C0ttonEyes That is correct! The big thing people don’t realize is that a body that is fully seizing holds nothing back and doesn’t follow the normal movements of the human body because all your fine and gross motor skills go out the window. All movement is random in direction, speed, and power. If your hand is stuck or held down and you yank with only your torso at full force and your actual arm and shoulder is relaxed, it wouldn’t be that hard to dislocate your shoulder. I think many people don’t realize how violent seizures can be. I guess they want to think of it like Parkinson’s which is very different. I’m sorry to hear about your sister, I hope she’s ok!

My father has frequent seizures, diagnosed by a professional, he always closes his eyes when it happens and can recall if someone was touching him during the episode. in fact when one of our family friends were riding in our car when he had an attack, the friend tried to help by hold his shoulders down (a panic induced impulse to seeing the seizure I guess). when he recovered from the attack my dad told him not to do that because when the episode is happening it becomes a very scaring feeling and being pinned down only makes it worse. We mostly just protect his head or arms from hitting anything near by, or hold his hand until it stops.

No matter how many rational arguments you throw at them, their brain just can't comprehend actual logic and form their own opinions.

[@TheClhWarrior]

​@@KatterTheMadHatterIs this trolling? You shouldn't force anything in their mouth. It can seriously injure someone. The best thing to do is support someone's head and let the seizure run its course. Obviously call 911 as well.

​@@KatterTheMadHatterNO NO NO DONT DO THAT

[@DianaandherGuitar]

General info: if somebody is having a seizure DO NOT restrict movement or put anything in their mouth. Put a pillow/shirt/anything soft under their head to mitigate head trauma from convulsions. If you can, try to put them on their side to prevent aspirating on vomit. If you’re there at the start, try to time the length of the seizure and tell EMS when they arrive. Remember, many times seizures look scarier than they actually are. Just do what you can and make sure emergency services are called and on their way

[@alisaishere]

Epileptic here. No need to put anything under the head, just move tings away from the body. If you try to move their head to put something under it, it could do damage. Also, if the person has epilepsy, just monitor for safety, time the seizure (if it lasts longer than 5 minutes call Emergency Services), after the seizure, roll them onto the recovery position (look it up, it's a fancy way of placing them on the side), if the person has difficulty coming out of the seizure also call emergency services. As they wake up, you can ask them simple questions to help the brain make connections again. But with people you know have epilepsy, please don't call 911 for me. I'll recover fine on my own and don't want to pay for the ambulance ride and spend time going to the hospital and back just for them to say oh, you have epilepsy, so you had a seizure. I don't need an ER trip for something I know I have, unless it's one of the two things I listed above, prolonged seizure or struggling to come out of it.

[@bacongod13]

Hey, just a nursing student but as far as the seizure thing goes, DO NOT support any part of the body or hold anything down, first thing you should do is slowly get them on the ground, turn them on their side so you help them maintain their airway and they don't inhale any spit, then clear the area of anything hard that they could hurt themselves on, then put something relatively soft and flat to elevate the head off the ground, something like a pillow is ideal but in a situation where that's not possible use something like a hoodie or a jacket that's folded up, finally if they have glasses on take them off, that is all you should do if you don't have further training. Hope this helps, sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else.

As a mother of an epileptic teenager,when Noah said to stick his hand in the mouth ASAP I ABOUT DIED😂😂 I was like NOOO OMG NOOO 😂😂. Unfortunate as it is to have to do, you just Need to let them seize.. Make sure they aren't in danger, make sure if they are still seated that the head isn't tilted forward essentially cutting off the airway ( MY son graciously taught us that one.😢) Talk to them,tell them they are OK ect. DO NOT RESTRICT MOVEMENT. Make sure they are safe,but don't try to restrain. Epilepsy is awful.. Its so fucking scary for everyone. Now you listen here.. you had better call your mama EVERYDAY!! Make sure to take your meds on time and please let those know around you that you have Epilepsy and educate them on how to handle you in an emergency. Good luck in all your endeavors darling!! AND CALL YOUR MAMA❤❤❤

Just to add to his stupidity he said it was psychogenic and not a real seizure. Psychogenic seizures are a real thing and are real seizures. So him saying its both faked for attention and psychogenic is completely contradictory. Psychogenic seizures are also called Psychogenic Non-Eplileptic Seizures (PNES).

Fun Fact: my first job out of high school required me to undergo extensive first aid/CPR training, and I did it again for my college degree. One of the main things I learned about was helping those who are having seizures. You DO NOT hold their tongue or restrain them in any way (or open their eyes). Doing so could result in severe injury to you or the patient! Instead, you help them gently to the ground and carefully turn them on their side. Make sure they have plenty of space; don’t crowd around them, and make sure there’s no furniture that they can hit their head or limbs on. Check for any sort of medical bracelet/necklace/tattoo etc. Time the seizure; they should only last a few minutes, but this varies from person to person. If it lasts too long or if you don’t know if they have a history of seizures, call for help. Shayne is right about supporting the head to make sure they don’t hit it on the floor or anything else, but like I said, don’t restrain or crowd them. Last but definitely not least, do your best to stay calm. Edit: if they’re sitting up and not falling, don’t guide them to the ground. Keep an eye on them just in case, but the main dangers are of them hitting their head if they fall or swallowing their tongue/choking on vomit if they’re on their back. Sorry for the TMI, but it’s true.

[@RoseOmania]

[@katiewarner2307]

Additional info (if you’re in the US where ambulances mean debt): If you Do know that a person has a history of seizures, you don’t need to call an ambulance unless the seizure lasts too long or they have two in a short period of time.

[@reneehoenicke4765]

The Anika story makes me so angry. My mom had a bunch of friends with kids my age, and one of them hated me. He constantly pulled embarrassing pranks on me and at one point threw paving stones at me. I would be forced to be around him when Mom saw her friends and I always dreaded it. Him bullying me went on throughout elementary and middle school, and thankfully I didn't have to see him much after that. He did come to pick something up for his mom once after we had both graduated college though. He tried making small talk and asking how I had been. When he realized I refused to give him more than a one word answer he asked what my problem was. I reminded him that he bullied me for years and that I still didn't like him and he asked me why I "hadn't gotten over it yet". According to him, he was a kid and it didn't matter. BS. He wanted me to be "civil and polite" when the thought of apologizing never once crossed his mind. You do not have to get over/forgive your bullies if they refuse to even try to apologize! I'm so sorry her family doesn't understand or fully support her. If Anika really has changed, she'd be trying to make it right because she would genuinely feel bad. She isn't upset that she got "embarrassed", she's upset that her immature and awful behavior caught up to her and bit her in the butt.

[@trulyteru]

i have a cousin who was an awful bully to me when i was a small child whenever we visited my paternal grandmother. we moved overseas for a time and werent able to visit my grandmother or really any family for several years. the next time i saw her, (edit, i think i was 14) she tried to make small talk and just shoot the breeze or whatever and i just stared her down and waited for her to apologize to me. she never did.

[@resir9807]

Yeah, he's a POS. I kinda come from the other direction... I had a "friend" in middle school who would bully another "friend" relentlessly, in the name of good fun. I never actively participated but was definitely an enabler, standing by the side and saying nothing, at worst sometimes laughing along. Ironically, I think the bullied kid might not remember me, but I will remember him for the rest of my life. I've really had to reckon with the fact that I've contributed, even in a small way, to this kid having social anxiety and trouble making friends. If I ever met him again, I would apologize for what I did (or didn't do) even if he didn't remember himself. I understand why some people would claim to have forgotten. Apologizing means recognizing and feeling shame for what an asshole you were, and that's hard to do. But expecting to have any kind of cordial relationship with your victim because "they should've gotten over it by now" is delusional. No dude, it's your job to apologize, so maybe you should get over it

[@zoejones5962]

Idk who needs to hear this, but at 34:09 ish Noah said first instinct is to grab the tongue, DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN SOMEONE'S MOUTH WHEN SEIZING. If they are standing and go to the ground, put something soft under their head and try to get them on their side, if they are to ridged and moving to much to rotate, don't force it. If their sitting (couch, supportive chair without armrests and such) get flat surfaces away and monitor the mouth, they might make to much drool and need to be rocked to the side to drain, but getting them to the ground is fuckin hard, and needs to be two people. Also, fun fact, when something happens suddenly like a wound or life threatening event that requires an ambulance and you are the person at ground zero, if you have names that helps, but otherwise call people by their shirt colors and give tasks definitively (ie. Red shirt call 911, Jojo shirt get water and a wet cloth, blue shirt what time is it) but in an emergency your going 0 to 1000 and need all the brain power to remember what's going on and get them to a medical professional, so even if you know everyone at the party, save brain power for watching eye movement and which arms move first and hopefully how long the seizure lasted. That last one is almost impossible to get right but anything helps doctors help the person experiencing it bc they don't know jack shit. Side side note, never, and I mean NEVER mention to them that they pissed themselves or anything, they will feel it. Not feeling ashamed will help them not resent themselves in the future. You can tell a baby it's a stinky fuck for pissing themselves, but someone gaining their brain back hearing 'Brooo you like, pissed everywhere that was wild' is not ok. Anyways, that's all the fun facts I got for now, thanks for coming to my tedtalk 💕

I think his argument is that she could've gotten just as good an education for free. If you go into debt to get something you could've gotten for free, that *is* useless debt. Like Smosh said, I think he has a good argument but he's going about it in the most AH way possible.
