Go to their houses and use a baseball bat, preferably a metal one and break their legs. That will teach them.

Your friends sound like losers, and you seem pretty cool. If you want some training or advice, add me online viCe.829 (master T, diamond random).

Also some advice for bullies, you have 3 choices IMO. Walk away from them, try to talk to them in an honest open matter explaining you won't tolerate their bullshit, or talk shit back.

I prefer option 2, and if that fails, option 3. Usually bullies cower away when their victims fight back. Keep practicing option 3, and if they don't stop, option 1 ^^

This reminds me of a time in high school when me and a friend started being dicks to our other friend and ended up ostracizing him. Looking back, it was a horrible, bitchy thing to do and there was no good reason for it. I can only think that at the time we were insecure about ourselves and by being mean to the other guy we were trying bolster our own egos and cement our friendship or something (not that this is any excuse). Our rationale at the time was that he would call us too often and try to have long, pointless phone conversations so we started accusing him of being gay etc.

He ended up having to hang out with other people until time passed and we realized we were being dicks and made up with him (we did apologize eventually to our credit and he is still a good friend of mine today). So maybe your best option will be to just try and spend time with other friends until they grow up a bit.

OP, how old are you? Your situation seems pretty weird and awkward, I really don't know what to think of it.

You could also become serious at the game (especially if you play so much) and just get to Diamond. If you're serious and open-minded it's ezee peezee.

If you had read his entire post you would know he's 15.


To my defense I read almost everything, but I did skip a few sentences when I started getting confused about the situation and their state of mind.

To me, this sounds like one of Cho Seng Hui's plays. Awkward, confusing and somewhat grotesque.

Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I don't want you to be so bad
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I saw this one thread on Team Liquid a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some kid “all-ined” every game and always lost
Dropped a couple leagues, got mad and finally he switched to Toss
In his posts they found a cast, didn’t say who it was to

Newsflash that guy isn't trolling you, he probably doesn't like you and is picking on you.


I sure as hell wouldn't spend time with someone that was seriously telling me i was fat all the time. Any time it's more then just a joke it would be plenty of reason to stop hanging out with someone.

Why would you spend your free time with a person that makes you feel like shit...

lol so you're mad because they're making fun of you for being bad?

Time to get real, they're not really your "friends" are they? Some of the people you knew before but the others seem like a bunch of nerds who only got to know you (and each other) for the sake of having someone to rip apart in SC2, both in-game and in life. Naw, they're not really your friends. To them at least, you're probably some tool to vent off their anger and have a laugh at.

That Skype call was a little trolling probably, otherwise there aren't much trolling here. Unless you're trying to troll us, of course. Looks like you're on the receiving end of bullying. I suggest you deal with it straight-up. Tell them in their face that they're a bunch of dicks and that you're going to ladder on your own.

Dude you just got a free coaching lesson from Mr. Bitter. That's way better than a free coaching lesson from pachi trust me. Take him up on that.

Also I skipped right to the end on purpose and read the blog backwards. I'm so nonconformist.

Ofcourse, everyone does.

But there is a fine line between poking fun of each other and harassing each other.


If my friend calls me a bitch i can laugh it off but he needs only shift the tone of his voice and it can be an insult.

It's those subtle things. No real friend is gonna keep going if he knows it's pissing you off and unless you have autism, you know when you are pissing someone off.

Actual friends trolling don't make you feel bad. They're not your friends if you don't handle their heat. Had someone that continuously made fun of everyone in our little group of friends in HS but I certainly never let it bother me much. Yeah, sometimes he went a bit off and he got a slap on the back of the head but overall it was all in good fun, can't actually be mad at a friend poking fun at obvious flaws. And to this day I have a lot of fun having a beer with him when we meet. Find some real friends.

Yep.

Time to get new friends. The answer to this is just "hey, you guys are dicks to me all the time, so go fuck yourselves, I'm not hanging out with you anymore".

If the trolling makes you mad, then you're probably being made fun of. Besides that, you don't have to always be on skype. You could just close skype for a bit, dedicate an hour or two for yourself, and not be disturbed by any trolls.

There is a very fine line between banter and actually being hurtful, and I think a lot of people are not aware enough to know when they cross that line. For example, I do like to tease my friends, take the piss and have a bit of banter. But there are certain things I won't touch. So, I will take the piss out of my friend because he is so obsessed with his appearance, and he takes as much time "getting ready" to go to the pub as a typical girl does for a big night out. But I won't take the piss out of someone's appearance or anything that they feel is serious or are really awkward about.

That being said, I think your friends KNOW that they are crossing that line, and at that point they actually stop being your friends. They are leeching your own self esteem to build up their own low self esteem. My advice would be to fuck them off and find some more worthwhile friends.

You're 15 so you'll probably have a hard time actually following through with the good advice we give you, and that is to really cease all contact with them. It's that simple. If they really want to be good friends, then they'll look to apologize and figure out what's wrong. If they're going to be douchebags, no need to continue hanging out with them. As you get older you'll realize that people like are just a waste of time to hang out with.

so these guys are like grade 10? lol I knew people who thought this was an amusing way to spend the time while playing... needless to say I ditched them pretty quickly and they couldn't understand why... I wasn't even the one in your position and it still irritated me to no end. Good luck man, I wouldn't take that shit while I'm playing >.<

I'll tell you exactly how you deal with assholes like that: You set your skype status to offline for about a week and practice on your own. When they meet you at school, just don't talk to them for a bit. The best way to deal with idiots like that is to ignore them, until they either apologize or move on.

He sounds like an idiot, you should probably stop associating with people like that it's embarrassing by association.

I've gone through similar ordeals myself. You should either learn to put up with it (by developing a sense of humour and going along with the insults), or find a new group of friends. You can't change people, but you can change the ones you spend time with.
