tw rant about trauma

so like... I don't think I've actuallu realised and admitted this before but like...

I think it's trauma. I think it is but I'm not sure. Two years ago me and my friends had rocks thrown at us. In school, which is supposed to be a safe space. One of my friends stopped coming into school because of this. This happened weekly typically - often just one or two rocks. Gradually it got more and built up. The people that were doing it would also come over and harass us asking about what our sexualities were, and once I got so pissed off that I actually told them. And then it happened more.

We had two days in a row where at lunch we got completely bombarded by about 20 people throwing rocks and food and water bottles at us. No teachers stopped this.

On the second day I suggested we tell a teacher about it and one of my friends said to 'not be a snitch'. We were actively getting stoned.

Another friend said that I shouldn't do it because they would come for us worse.

Thankfully the third agreed to go with me and we told someone and they stopped it but they never actually reprimanded the people.

I still think about this.

sorry this just needs to be said

i fucking hate her. fucking bitch. i thought she was safe, and i was an idiot. why did i come out to her? she's the fucking reason everyone else got bullied too. she told everyone about me. she's the reason there was rocks. i know she told my friend that she would knock me out if she could, and i hope she fucking does and gets it over with. i hope she hits me as hard as she can even though she's fucking weak, so i can shove her up against a wall and finally feel free to tell her that i'm not afraid.

i need her to hurt me so i won't have to be afraid of her doing it

If you say you "support the values" of the Bible, the Torah, or the Quran, I'm go going to assume you support stoning unless you say otherwise, because stoning shows up a LOT in parts of each of those texts. If what you mean by the values in the Bible, the Torah, or the Quran is the modern idea of being a decent human being, consider whether you actually believe in the text or you use the text to justify your ethical system (and possibly opinions). If you cherry pick your morals from the text, then you are not fundamentally rooting your morals in a belief in the text. And if you are not rooting your moral system in a belief in the text, then what does it mean to believe in the text? Do you believe that the events described in the text happened but not accept the duties out to you by the tex; that is, do you merely accept the text as historically accurate? Do you carry out some or all of the ritual duties put to you by the text, but not all the moral duties?
