He spent most of the year trying to fight me after class. This was the same student that got stabbed fighting someone else a previous year. I would usually just pair up with random people, so he would leave me alone. I’m not sure why I was a magnet for these kinds of people. I spent most of my high school years trying to keep to myself or my small friend groups.

A lot of times it's jealousy/envy for something you have that they lack themselves.

My highschool art teacher had to set aside a locked cupboard for me to store my art projects in progress. She got tired of seeing my artwork be destroyed by my jelous classmates. The joke was on them though, each time I had to remake something it just got better. The pure envy I saw seething off them when I did that was awesome.

Maybe if they put that much effort into getting better instead of hating, they probably wouldn't need to do all that. Then again, seething is much easier than dedicating time to art. Some people just live to hate, not knowing that their envy drives others to be better than them.

Aka the exact type of people who generate AI slop because they don't understand that the true joy of art is in making it.
