leap87 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 One thing I've learned today: when a guy really likes you, he remembers all of the little details of your story/what you were wearing/how you looked, even if this was months ago. Another thing: I will have 7 presentations at the conference in March. FML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpp Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Unortunately, people don't like becoming involved unless violence is toward a loved one. People don't want to risk physical inury to themselves. Thank goodness for the exceptions who are out there but rare. sometimes for good reason, people often react more strongly to someone stepping in. a few months ago i helped one a friend who got hit by some guy in the street. three of his friends jumped in and i ended up with 12 stitches and an eye swelled shut for a week. having said that, i would still help someone(even a stranger) if a similar situation ever arises again, but I understand why people are hesistant. i also don't think people who are willing to help are rare, just they don't know when they should help.

The bystander effect is pretty strong. It takes one person to break it before everyone is willing to jump in. Its funny how it backfired in your situation. Like thats the first time I even thought the bystander effect could've been a good thing. It sucks what happened to you but its one of the reasons I believe people should know how to handle themselves. Its cool and all being model citizens of society but that only works here, in our (mostly) cozy, safe little society of the world. ^"handle themselves" doesn't necessarily mean know how to fight. I've never gotten into a fight since I was 12. Which considering where I grew up and the schools I've been to is pretty awesome. All because no one doubts that IF things go south I'm more than ready to throw down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be because they are Portuguese lol It is a really pretty name haha Honestly the only reason I chose small_town_girl was because I was listening to "Don't Stop Believing" when I was creating my account hahahaha...thanks for changing your name though!!

Yea I hear ya. Back in HS my friend got jumped once by like 10 guys when I was with him (they were after him specifically....mostly cause he runs his mouth too much) and I couldn't really help him. lol. Its either he gets beat up or we both get beat up and I now have problems with people that I don't really want anything to do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMaverick Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Re: The bystander effect A friend of my Dad's who is in his late 30's now was walking in downtown Prince George one night back to his hotel with his fiance and noticed several guys in an alley beating on some lady. He jumped in and attempted to get them to stop and immediately they turned on him and absolutely kicked the crap out of him and his fiance. They both ended up in hospital and suffered pretty significant, but not long-term, injuries. I used to try to break up bar fights myself if it happened near me until I got hit myself several times because of it. Now I realize that the people involved in stuff like that frequently do for one reason or another (i.e. drugs, gangs, enjoy fighting) and the risk simply isn't worth getting involved. I certainly can understand why it (bystander effect) exists and I'd propse that it's not really adviseable or safe to be jumping into those kinds of situations anyways. That being said, I still will call for help (if warranted) and like to believe I would jump in if it was an extreme situation (i.e. the girl in the alley situation above - regardless of the consequences).

Cerena Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Good luck to everyone who has exams tomorrow! P.S. I keep getting emails from podiatric medical schools in the U.S. Why?! I don't have an MD and I never indicated anywhere that I wanted to apply to this type of school. It is so strange! And I strongly dislike feet! Has this happened to anyone else?

Yeah, I've gotten a few emails from different US Schools of Podiatric Medicine... I believe that it stems from the MCAT... but I could be wrong. I don't believe you need an MD to practice as it is like an alternative to MD/DO programs, but deals mainly with foot/ankle/leg issues. Apparently, you either see an orthopedist or podiatrist for foot/ankle problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
