Answer 1

I think everyone has things happen when they're young that they'll always remember less than fondly. but, it's o.k.

Answer 2

I think that it's ok to remain bitter about certain things as long as it doesn't take over your life in a negative way. If something that had happened in your past that really bothered you, remembering it would hopefully allow it to not repeat.

Answer 3

I know how you feel. I'm Asian and there were barely any Asians around where I used to live, so there were alot of racist comments and jokes. I didn't remain bitter about it though, because I'm proud of who I am and if people with low tolerance have a problem with it? they can go suck on it. I think at one point in a persons life he/she feels different because everyone was born different and unique in their own way. I think you should just ignore it & don't let it affect you because it's not worth it.

Answer 4

It is not good for your health to hang on to bitterness. Most people don't know how to transform it into something positive. If you knew of a child who was going through what you went through you probably wouldn't want them to be bitter about what happened . If they told you, you would say, just be happy & it won't be your problem those prejudiced people probably had horrible lives anyway. So treat yourself like you are that little boy & choose joy in your life now. People who are bitter end up with acid reflux or diabetes they can digest the sweet. So let it go & live the great life you have now...Roger & Babe were just examples for us to learn to treat people fairly but they are doing great now so don't worry about Roger he was just doing what he was supposed to do here.

Answer 5

You can feel bitter, everybody has their own experiences.  But, what everyone has to realize is....everybody goes through it, some worse than your experience...some not as bad.  Fact of the matter is...this is how racism begins...you get a couple A-holes in somebodies life, that treats somebody different because of their race...then that person doesn't like their race and so on.  Everybody is different in their own ways....but, I am teaching my children to love everybody no matter what the race.  My husband and I are both white.  But, our bestest friends...are  Caucasian, African American, Chinese, Hispanic, Arabic...and my children are consistent in their lives...not because of a lesson, because we love our friends that we are close with. My point is, feel bitter towards the person, not the race....we need to break this thing!

Answer 6

It is unhealthy to hold unto bad feeling or experiences!  Learn from them and move on.  There will always be people who are unwilling to be educated or accept differences.  Forgive them   xox  

Answer 7

If you are truly bitter after a LONG period of time it isn't normal. You should be able to use it s a learning experience and change what you don't like in the way you feel.

When something is on going and you CAN'T forget it, you may want to talk to someone about "post traumatic stress disorder" which cal account for the feelings that won't go away.

I am going ot add a link to a web site you can read all about PTSD on and make a decision from there.

Answer 8

no.. I don't think so. I was treated badly in middle school too, but I mean.. who wasn't?
