I know it's not true but just to damage my seamingly unbreakable confidence, they call me ugly, stupid, retard, crazy, they push me around in hallways, don't let me eat lunch with any of them and when someone doesn't do what they do, they persecute that person too. 'coz of that, now my grades are 5 points lower in over-all than my old lowest and now, they persecute me for being emo...which is not true, I just have a manic-mostly depressive behavior. Uh, Is that called persecution?

They say I'm a nerd, but I'm a pretty nerd
(BEAT THAT!)

I have the same problem, but sooner or later they are gonna realise that being mean to the smartest person in class is getting them no where. Plus, you have the reasurence that when you leave school, you can get into college and have a better job than all the rest. I just ignore every thing because in the end, your doing what you want, don't lower yourself to their standards by letting them get to you. It's what they want, but keep doing great ^.^

well I am persecuted kinda at my school for being christian
also i have always been taller then everyone else, and I really like helkping people
but I get mocked sometimes for that


also i have gotten mocked by the parents of my peers becasue of my hockey. I was bigger then everyone but i looked slow to them
so they kept of saying i couldn't make it anywhere in hockey

Also, if its people you know doing such things, you might wanna re-think who your talking with.

Oh that good advice! Laura-chan ^^

i've been through all of this, but i would'nt call it persercuting. It's the way i deal with every thing.
Like if you wanted some thing, you'd do what they do Keep annoying that person until you got the reaction you wanted. But if you don't give it to them, you prove your stronger than them and they will give up. It works for me!

or...they try to do it again in a couple of months.

They did things because you are tall? Wierd of them... I used to feel bad for being taller than everyone else to (until the guys finally grew taller than me), but that was because I felt wierd, not because someone said anything.

And those parent piss me of. They are supposed to help the players become better, not making them feel bad!

my self-esteem was crushed as a child by my older sister. all because i acted like my dad. happy.

she hated everyone who was happy, but i was easy picking.

Good answer.

But is that really persecution? Is that same persecution Early Christians felt as they were stoned, crucified, and beaten? Is this the same persecution the victims of witch hunts endured? Is this the same persecution the Jewish people felt during the Holocaust? The Same persecution that millions feel? No. What you guys feel, is hardly what I describe as persecution. In fact, I probably would have to be renamed "Q the Glorious Persecutor" if it were the case. No, it's not the same guys. There are people who in Sudan, who are put in giant metal boxes, then sank into the Sands of the desert to die a cruel, sweltering hot death, because these Christians are literally microwaved by the heat. That, is persecution. It's definitely different then being called fat.

Persecution used to be a word one didn't toss lightly. It's like Racism. Saying things like today someone is a real racist, is I think undermining racism. Does he hold slaves? Does he believe that the other race should be gassed? Does he tell people that "They cannot and shouldn't be allowed in schools" then stands in front of the doors? No. Are there racist people today, especially in America? Sure. But let's not throw that word around lightly, don't devalue the struggle that people who suffered through great extremes of racism went through by tossing that word around so easily.

Hate, love, racism, intolerance, bigotry, persecution, and God. Just a few of the many words Society has systematically devalued and brought to mean minor afflictions compared to what they stood for in the past. Do you guys really feel you are being, persecuted? I can understand isolated, unaccepted, offended, and yes even attacked and deriled and ridiculed. Embarrssed and demonized and excoriated possibly. But, you ask me if you were Persecuted? No, I don't believe you were.

exactly

People exxagerate many times

And personally, I think it's a bit selfish to complain about your life, because there are others with worse lives who do not complain at all

but are not all sins equal in god's eyes?
so in his eyes then
if someone makes up rumors about a Christian and if someone stones a Christian both are maybe simply because they are Christian
is that not the same thing?
I do agree that our society has devalued words like those ones.

Yes all sins are equal in God's eyes. But making up a rumor about a Christian is something that happens, a fact of life, as I said an offense or an attack. You were probably embarrassed, ridiculed, and at worst demonized and maybe deriled. But I don't call it persecution. I don't think it's the same as death, cruel beatings, or losing your job and homes and being forced into ghettos. Maybe you do.

There isn't an exact theme. I guess, to put it best the state of America today. But, I only just recently decided to write it, so the stronger themes will come as my research and intrigue develops (And when my finals are over ^_^)

well i'll just go with the dictionary meaning
persecuted
to pursue with harassing or oppressive treatment, esp. because of religion, race, or beliefs; harass persistently.


well it can be both ridiculation or death adn everywhere in between
you can't say torture and death is bad and blah blah blah and then go beat someone up
i mean the term Christian was originally a term to ridicule those who followed Jesus.
i'm not denying your side, i'm just saying its more then that and can happen anywhere in the world

Your also not making much sense.
"you can't say torture and death is bad and blah blah blah and then go beat someone up"

Who the freedom is saying that?

And I am saying your not feeling persecution, that other words more accurately describe it; that you shouldn't allow the word to be devalued to such meager standings. Yes, I could get beaten for my beliefs in America, it's feasible. But if someone says something about me being a Christian, or says something about someone being fat, they are not persecuting them.
