Note: If you just want to read my experience with Star Wars, then scroll down a few bits, as i will first want to give a little context of what happened to me in my childhood than then will use later on.

My time as a kid was not good, instead was almost a nightmare. School was a tough time for me, as i received bullying two times in a row in two different schools. In one, i was left alone to walk on the breaks while everybody else was doing something different. I felt alone, and i cried when coming back to my home after gimnastics. People are very evil nowadays, even at a young age. They left me alone because i was different, i prefer playing with toys rather than talk about weird stuff (something an adult will talk about), they took me as the cannon fodder to joke about. I didnt want to celebrate my birthdays, as i have no friends to invite. When family members outside of closed ones asked me about friends, it just hurted me even more. I went to specialists but no one gave me something, instead they cleaned their hands and blame me for it. At the end, it was irredeemable, and a change of school was made. On the second one, it got worse. I tried a more open approach, tried to get friends fast, tried to liked them, to be someone they will like, but instead i got laughted about. They joked about my physical body, about my surname, and a lot more that its not good to me to say on the site. Once again, i felt pretty bad, but instead, i tried to perdure, "there were some years and thats it, need to hold" that was in my head. I finished school and finally i dont even need to see those guys ever again.

Of course, as my review, i was weak. I was not strong enough to defend myself. The darkside was always there, telling you to do something that you could regret later on. I should had done something. At the end i didnt act as a jedi (as words do nothing on them, and didnt defend myself how a jedi would do), and didnt act as a sith (didnt give in to my anger, thats too easy at first), i just stayed alone (used Malak phrase altered).

Nowadays, at my 22 years old, i feel better. I started the gym a week ago, mostly to gain confidence and be strong enough to defend myself and my family. Got on the site and talk with a lot of folks about what we all love. Remember, you dont be alone in life, there are good people out there, its just the time and the moment to meet them. Sorry if i was a bit negative, or if i make you feel bad about it, I just want to make people see the light and be better than i was.

Now i will talk about my Star Wars experience and some suggetions moving forward on the fandom.

It all started when i was a kid. At that time, i was a fan (still are) of animation movies (mostly Pixar ones). One night, my mother brought me a film that she got recommended by the DVD seller, it was the Clone Wars movie of 2008. I at first got interested on the cover of the DVD (as it show "a green little friend with his friend warriors from the future and some white soldiers all identical" (that was kinda my thoughts as a kid). When i watched, i was amazed about everything: the visuals, this new and interesting characters; this jedi warrior that faces an old dangerous man on Tattoine (my fav part, the duel between Anakin vs Dooku), this alien togruta girl who is still learning to become one jedi in the future, and a lot more. Later on, i watched the prequels and the originals, cried on the death of Anakin (still hurts me, "tell your sister, you were right"), Qui Gon and Maul, cheered when the zabrak was cut in half (i know, thats kinda evil, but i was going to shout "for Qui Gon"), etc. Then it was time to watch the Clone Wars series (was surprised to find that there were a series too), and i had a great time watching it, it saddened me that it was cancelled. Finally, it was the time to watch this new trilogy, and althought i am not a fan of them, i will say that the experience of getting to watch a Star Wars movie on a cinema (Episode VII) for the first time was one of the best days that i got, all nerdied out and buying for that time Star Wars cups from the cinema.

From what i know, the Star Wars fandom is one of the biggest and most emotional ones that i know. We always try to act with our emotions, and in a good or bad way, it can leads us to dangerous places. People tend to act the Sith way, always seeing one point of view rather than others, using bad language and violence as a way of "justice", making fun of people but instead calling it either with a different word or saying that they both you and the other are laughing together rather than the real true. We, as a fandom, and as people should be better (and don't get me wrong, a lot of the lads here are great, and always respectful about others opinions). This are some tips that i suggest:

*)Being respectful with someone else: We all tend to become angry in a discussion, some of them even going worse than we thought, but the respect should be never be lost, even if the other one doesn't treat you well, you show that you are better than him as a person.

*)Always welcomed others opinions: As you can see, i am not a fan of everything of Star Wars, but that doesnt mean that i wil not integrate or leave behing someone with different views, that is something that i dont want everybody to fell so instead they should be welcomed. At the end, we all have a common ground to enjoy some Star Wars content.

*)Anti-Bullying: to end with this suggestions, and that its related to the previous two, bullying must not happen, and everyone should never recieve it. As a community we dont fully know what the other is feeling, so making fun just because he likes something (like what happened with the prequels) is not acceptble for me. As i said Star Wars get me going and made me to forget about what was happening at school, i will probably wont be here if i was not received with a warm welcome.

Finally, i will give a shoutout to all the users (not spammers) , modders, and everyone involved for this site. Before, it was just my thoughts and nothing else, as i got no one to talk about Star Wars (just some comments on Youtube videos but thats it, and most of the time they got lost on oblivion. I got the priviledge to talk with a lot of people, discuss lore and speculations about Star Wars. Althought for me Friend is a big word to call someone, this people make me feel like being part of something. I know that we got some "visitors" in the last days, but soon all will return to normal. May the force be with you, and remember, you are not alone. Jaden out.
