Standing up for Others

[Corleone]

Have you ever stood up for someone who wouldn't stand up for themselves?

Should you stand up for others?

Sure, if you don't stand up for others, someone might not stand up for you when the time comes.

Everyone should have the courage of their convictions and stand up for what they believe in--whether it's popular or not.

Yeah I stand up for others. In fact I just did it the other day. I was telling princess about it right after it happened.

Yeah I have.. I remember in 11th grade Spanish glass, this kid named S walked in 20 minutes late apologized for his absence and lateness and handed the teacher a doctors note and silently went to his seat. The first thing she did after reading it was say, Gonorrhea eh? The class started laughing and this kid named Jonathan started cracking jokes.. and this kid was so embarrassed, and he looked like he was going to cry.. I told Jonathan to shut up and he wouldn't so when he started tilting his seat back, I saw a textbook on the floor and kicked it at his chair causing him and his chair to fall and him bumping his head on the desk on the way down. The class roared when he fell.



I asked the teacher if it was really necessary that she'd say that out loud embarrassing him like that.. and when she got nasty with me saying that if he wasn't late it wouldn't have happened and threatened to call the dean because I disrupted the class, I told her to go ahead, and asked her how she'd feel if someone let it slip that she was sleeping with both the gym teacher and the janitor and if her husband (who was the dean) knew that she wasn't sure who the father of her unborn kid was.. I said it must suck to be her since she knows that her husband couldn't possibly be the father and kids, especially those that don't like her like to gossip and some of those kids happen to work in the deans office next period. I asked her just who does she think the dean will listen to.. the kids he trusts enough to work in his office, or her. She apologized to S for what she did.

I have also had to curse out this one particular nurse in the nursing home my great-grandmother was in before she died because the nurse would yank her around when she were taking care of my great-grandmother and was very rough with her. I was there for a visit one day and the nurse came in to dress and bathe her, and she asked me to step outside. I did and about 5 minutes later, I hear this loud thud and I hear my great-grandmother scream out in pain. I rushed into the room to find her on her bed holding her leg and crying. My great-grandmother had arthritis.. and during cold and wet weather, it was worse. It was sleeting all day that day, and so she was in a lot of pain already. The nursing staff knew this and even if she didn't have arthritis the nurse still should not have dropped her leg like that. Anyway, as soon as she saw me, the nurse got an attitude with me and grabbed my shirt and tried to rush me out of the room. I snatched myself away from her and told her that I wasn't going anywhere and informed her that I was the one taking care of her before she was put in the nursing home.



I asked the nurse what happened and she wouldn't say anything and I asked my great grandmother and she told me that nurse had dropped her leg on the bed instead of handling it gently. The nurse had the nerve to lie and say she didn't and when I told her that I was standing outside and heard it, and the way she was talking to my great-grandmother, she said nothing. I slammed her against the wall and asked her what the f was her problem and asked her if she'd like me to throw her ass out of the window gently, or if she'd want me to drop her just like she dropped my great-grandmother's leg. I told her to apologize, which she did and told her that she was lucky that my great-grandmother was there. Granny called security because she didn't want me to get into trouble, and when they arrived, I told them exactly what happened and told the nurse's supervisor that if she wasn't fired, at that moment, that I would see to it that they are sued. The nurse was fired on the spot, and from then on, I made it a point to be present when they bathed her, and on the days I wasn't there, that at least the supervisor be present to keep this from happening again. The supervisor agreed.

To be honest most of the time I don't, unless it's for something I find incredibly unfair...I would rather stay out of it.

Some kids were harassing this little old man at my work (in the evening time when not may people were around anymore)..



So I go over there and I yell LEAVE HIM THE F**K ALONE! (I was a little upset at what I saw so I said a bad word. Lol... oops) Needless to say they run off.. But they were dumb enough to run down a hall that dead ends. I get them cornered and started yelling at them and I asked them if it makes them feel good to pick on an old man like that? They were just being quiet. I said If you don't feel like going to jail tonight, I suggest you go apologize to him right now. (although it would be illegal for me to restrain the kids until the cops got there,,, they don't know that). So they go say sorry and leave.



The next day they were back, well I think it was them. They had their shirts off and wrapped around their faces so I couldn't tell who they were.. They were up on the roof. Throwing rocks. I yelled that I was going to call the sherrif.. But that didnt phase them. They ran to the other side of the school yelling that I was going to die and I was going to get shot.

Wouldn't be the 1st time that I got death threats from dumb kids.

Resource officer? Lol

Just kidding. Interesting story, I already feel sorry for the old man. Good work security! How did you get the kids off the roof?

As I said, they ran to the other side of the school... Then they left after that.

I know all about that.. I work at a school and those teachers dont know how to keep their pants on.

One of my teachers hits me indirectly... She will tell another student to hit me lol

I told her I'll tell our principal, but she says she will see me hit them back, but will not see them hit me... She is nice but I feel abused.

Nah, not really, I have a good time in there.
