No one is obliged to help you, even if you are dead or in a swamp

No one is obliged to help you, even if you are dead or in a swamp. As an Asian who suffered collective bullying in high school in the United States, I have to "stand and speak without pain" after watching this drama. First of all, it must be admitted that bullying exists in large numbers, and that it is unfair to happen to anyone, no matter what stupid the victim did or the wrong choice. Maybe it's because of my taciturn, maybe it's because of something stupid I did, a small group in the school spotted me and harassed me. At one time, I sought help from around me, an intermediary/teacher/home/friend. At first, everyone was very angry and said that they wanted to clean up the white trash for me. Because there was no evidence, this matter was finally turned into a major event at the school. I did not receive any apology for the garbage or any punishment. I don't want to struggle anymore, this matter seems to have passed. What made me desperate was that when the harassment happened again long after it subsided, everyone no longer had any emotions. Everyone is busy with it, as if because of the preparation of the last time or tired of discussing this matter countless times, no one will fight for me anymore. Even some Chinese classmates think that I am too hypocritical. I was disappointed and helpless in this world and the people around me, curled up in a human world and refused to talk. I yelled, why don’t you help me, why don’t you do anything! It feels ridiculous to calm down now, why should others help me? Is it just because I am pitiful? Just because I need help? We must admit that no one has an obligation to help you

Hannah in the play is bullied and ridiculed for making friends carelessly. Even if she has strong evidence, she did not choose to immediately seek help from someone she trusts to solve the problem but chose to ignore and avoid it. She keeps trying to establish new relationships to gain solace to make up for the wounds caused by the failed relationships in the past. Unexpectedly, the rupture of a series of relationships makes her sensitive and extreme. Injury genuine goodwill and attribute all the harm it bounces back to cause you to kill yourself. It wasn't until the matter reached an irreversible level that I remembered asking the teacher to say that I didn't want to live anymore, but I didn't say why. I don't want to say that she is stupid or doesn't know how to protect herself, she is just a naive child. She counted on the bully to stop by herself. She waited for the gossip about herself to disappear on her own. The most frightening thing was that she counted on someone to take the initiative to help her. You have to understand that in the United States, whether you encounter problems in your life or in your studies, the teacher asks you to take the initiative to ask for help or you will assume that you have no problems. Bullying is hateful and hateful. We should prevent it from being eliminated, but it will never disappear completely. Another thought this drama gives us is that when we are being bullied, should we avoid neglect like Hannah? The answer is of course no. Even if our resistance may be ineffective, we have to face it and solve it as best we can.

When the small group bullied me for the second time, I learned a lesson and left a recording to show to the school. At the same time, I contacted my parents to write letters to the school to pressure and force them to be friends in psychology to listen to me and relieve me. In the process, I was worried that the school would ignore it again. My classmates thought that I was hypocritical and the bullying team would bully more violently. But I persevered and did everything I could. In the end, all the garbage was punished accordingly. In the past, this incident was only one of the disgusting experiences in my life.
