so... i'm not quite sure why i'm posting it here. but it could be the fact that as my title states, i'm rather tired. and considering its midnight, i really shouldn't be thinking as hard as i am.
the situation:
if you first hand see someone being put down with very harsh verbal words what do you do? step in and defend, or butt out and mind your own business?
and if you decide to step in, what if you come to realize that the kid your defending is a total weird-o and then you have a reputation of defending the weird kid.
i came upon this situation just now. i saw (on a network) that someone i know from school was being put down for no apparent reason, and it made me sick inside. and this kid probably did something, he's got a bad reputation. and to be honest. he bugs the hell out of me. yet i chose to stick up for him just now, i mean.. i didn't go all out lol, just a simple comment 'that wasn't very nice at all'
hmm.. maybe its the fact i just finished my 5 page ethics paper, but i keep thinking about the possible outcomes and the possible story behind the verbal abuse. maybe he did something bad.. i guess ill never know
but in the end i'll have the satisfaction of doing the right thing..
unless i face the consequences tomorrow when the guy who said such nastiness beats me up...
if you've read this far i'm impressed!
what would you have done in this situation?
does your decision reflect the kind of person you are? just from this one simple little notion on a silly networking site?
aw crap, they commented back...
