but..but.."The world needs all kinds."

Popularity in school has never really bothered me. A few years back, I used to play almost every sport possible, and that's how I became accustom to one group of buddies at school. After getting bored of them and quitting those, I found new friends, but also had the same ones from before. Actually, I wouldn't really call any of them "friends." More school hangout buddies. I don't really hang out with people much outside of school, it's not much fun for me.
I've never actually been bullied to an extend of having to take measures into violence. If someone were to make fun of me, it doesn't bother me. People are free to say their opinion, so go for it. I can't stand people that get so upset over bullying or such.
My mother asked me about bullying in my school a few weeks back. I said there was a moderation, just like any other school but it's not a big deal. She said she was reading posts online of how kids were getting made fun of because of there income, and they killed themselves over that. I just don't see how someone can take bullying that critical. I don't see how people are so weak from comments made to them. If you don't like it, walk away and ignore them, do something-other then kill yourself? Of course I knew that's been going on for a while, actions as so, but it just shocks me.
