Before anyone automatically goes to answer this after only reading the title, I know that harassment, bullying, etc. isn't funny and should be taken seriously but I suppose in my case it's different.
Personally I don't really give two flying f**** if someone starts harassing me by calling me names and whatnot unless it starts to become a frequent and more violent thing and then I will start to retaliate. But I was on FB earlier and posted a status about me getting a gun when I turn 18. A friend responds with "Psycho, you don't need any sort of weapon", and this is a friend who back in grade school would pick on me all the time (calling me names, constant annoyance, etc but not like actual bullying you'd see in high school) but after 6th grade they disappeared and never spoke to them until a couple months back (I'm now 17, so... 6 to 7 year time span). Anyways, I just took this comment as an anti-firearm type of comment. So I replied with "I don't "need" anything but a roof over my head, clothes, O2 and some type of food source. So obviously I don't need a gun, but I want one.". Then they replied with "Stfu Don't get smart with me
Anyway you shouldn't have them is that a better choice of words for you Mr. smarty pants?" and again I took this as an anti-firearm comment. So I asked them why shouldn't I have a gun and they just said "Because you can be an angry person and I havn't always been so nice to you and I might be first on your hit list Baha jk".
First off, I am an angry person although I don't show it because I don't want to be a douche to everyone but it's not like I can't control myself. I can understand how the comment could've been taken as playful banter and I could've just lightened up and not take it so seriously but I get annoyed easily with stuff like this because I personally think playful banter like this that's carried on for a while is just stupid. Eventually she made it obvious that she was trying calling me a psycho and that I shouldn't be handling weapons because of that but really? I'm 17, they're 18, we're both practically adults, why still pick on people?
I might be overreacting and need to lighten up a bit but I strongly feel like "picking" on someone like my friend was doing is literally stupid. I can understand if you're trying to insult me in some way then bs about it in a non-serious, laid back way but why act so stuck up, high and mighty, etc. about it? And again, we haven't spoken in 6 to 7 years so the only idea of me that they have is my immature self- when I was just a kid, they have absolutely no idea of what kind of person I grew up as.
