    Hi everyone.

    For the majority of my time here on JH (over 3 years), I’ve encountered some wild events. Some of these events have changed me as a person. In this thread, I’d like to talk about bullying and acceptance. For the past few weeks in particular, I’ve been aware of some “gossip” that has been going around about me. I don’t know who all the people are that are involved in this disgusting manner, but I will touch on this later in the post.

    Starting with a positive, I am very happy that the community is being quite acceptant of gender and sexuality roles. I believe there is a difference between support and acceptance. Despite some members’ religions, they still show acceptance, which is great.

    Now, I’m going to hit you all with the heavy. Bullying. Bullying includes name-calling, labelling, constantly picking on someone, judging someone from who they are, and I’m sure you can think of many other examples. What I’ve found lately is that a lot is spread real quick around this server. But does that mean you relate me to someone and say I’m another version of them? Even if you haven’t said it to me directly, I find out. Most of you are aware of my relationships. But does that mean you make a predicament and say around others that my current one will fail? Do you realize what you say about me and my relationships contribute to making me want to opt out of them? It’s because I do not want hate, I do not want the attention. I do not want to be spied on. Now, I’m going to shift focus a bit.

    A lot of people come to me with their issues. I am quite defensive. When I think something is not right, I want that known. I know that heaps of people here are too scared to speak up about things. Disliking people because of their opinions is just plain stupidity. Not every opinion is meant to satisfy everyone. Sometimes it’s great to discuss each opinion and suggest what’s reasonable, etc. If you don’t like or want to hear an opinion ignore it or move away from it. But, if it’s an opinion that actually targets an individual and that is given directly to that person, that is a problem.

    Now, here’s the fun part. I have a task for those who have recently been involved in the bitching about me. If you’re such a brave soul to talk badly about me, why don’t you hit me up with an inbox or a message like a real person and face me. I don’t know who all the people involved are. If you’re too scared to talk to me directly, don’t bother doing it behind my back.

    Everyone, please reflect and decide what you should change about yourselves. Some of you are actually fine as you are, but I think others need to have a good look at themselves and what they do. I don’t want my friends hurt more and I don’t want to be hurt anymore either.

    Accept each other and don't be afraid to step up for yourself & your beliefs.

    I'd like to thank some friends who've supported me or just accepted me.
