It's been a while since I've had a right good moan on this blog so I don't want any of the non existent readers to feel deprived.
As I have previously mentioned. I am at university and I thought that once you prove yourself intelligent enough and demonstrate effective people skills you are in an environment with peers just like you. The subject matter i'm studying is very patient based and dealing with vulnerable, sick people who need genuine and compassionate staff who take time to help.
So why have a group of 5 bullies within the course who clearly lack these skills been allowed to carry on their antics for so long? From nasty messages in December to trying to punch my friend and finally threatening physical violence over Facebook.
Well, now the 2 ostracised course mates have the last laugh.
With the latest incident consisting of a Facebook slogan stating, and I quote "That one person in the class you just want to smack in the face with a brick." with the reply from another bully "I can think of more than just a brick! haha." It seems they have forgotten that lecturers can actually see what messages are being exchanged.
It also seems as if they forgot that our governing body the Society of Radiographers have a policy about harassment/bullying and appropriate disciplinary actions which are to be taken should events arise. Surely they didn't forget the lecture were we all signed documents binding us to obey the rules of professional practice... no?
Oh well, I guess they must have forgotten about that. Shame the Dean of the school is getting involved now too. Such a shame...
But that is only 1 rant. 1 more to go folks!
Although I am 19 we all still consider friends who have been through near enough everything together best friends. I 'had' a best friend who was one of thee most difficult people to get along with in the world. She moaned, and slagged you off to your face, told you you looked like a man and generally just had a terrible attitude and personality.
I was this persons only friend for 8 years, I stuck by her as she got bullied in secondary, stuck by her even when I was also targeted by the bullies purely for being her friend. When in a nightclub if a guy came and started talking to me at the bar she would get insanely jealous and storm off to the toilet for no other reason than just being jealous because she wasn't getting any attention from the men.
It disgusted me, but I continued being her friend.
Well, this 'friend' suddenly got a boyfriend 2 weeks ago and has dumped me completely. After all I have done for her she's decided that getting a man in her bed is more important than a long standing friendship.
It has saddened me just how shallow this person is but you know what?
Fuck it. Once again I'll have the last laugh when the relationship ends and she can learn her lesson the hard way.
