God DAMN!
At 17 It's either intimidate, or be intimidated, I am SO sick of it... I really am... I wish the people around me would just grow up... If they ever will... I've been over to Poland.. And all the teenagers over there seem normal... If not a little TOO normal haha , I would just love in 20 years time to see that the class asshole has some SENSE =]Rating:3.80

Normal teenagers? There's two words that you don't normally see together.

I agree #1. Pretty much an oxymoron.

If by grow up you mean not intimidate people, then no that will never happen. Adults do it too, just in a different way.
Instead of slamming someone's head up against a locker and threatening to kick their ass after last bell we use blackmail, bribery, guilt trips, etc.

OP, stop being such a pussy. Stand up for yourself, and the intimidators will back down. They are usually overcoming their shortcomings, anyway.
Otherwise, enjoy a life replete with disappointment and fear.

OP:#3 hah, thanks... Gives me something to look forward to in the future -.-
#5 this isn't about me being intimidated, it's about the fact that everyone has to either intimidate or be intimidated, there has to be a dominant/submissive thing going on, there seems to be no neutral ground with people that you know

Only other solution than "Live and let live" (and ignore if you must) is to hone the fine art of Passive-Aggressiveness. ;-)

^ No, passive agressiveness doesn't work. When people are passive agressive towards me I'm usually blatantly aggressive in return to them. That's not really solving anything.

Perhaps you just need to change your attitude, and not be bothered by it, then. It doesn't sound like its your problem anyway, so why let it become yours?

When I was a kid I was smaller than everyone else, got picked on because the other kids thought I was an easy target. So I learned to strike first and then run like hell. I might have been wrong, but when the big guy was coming at me with a grin, chances were he wasn't gonna share his lollypop. So I'd lash out fast and hard, send them to the ground and then I ran. Yeah, I ran in the beginning, but by the time I got to high school, I had earned a "mean" reputation and the kids left me alone. I never really ends, but it does get better.

^ The OP (in #6) has indicated that he/she is concerned over others either intimidating or being intimidated. My response remains the same... why be bothered if it isn't affecting you?
This has nothing to do with being affluent or not. Simply being efficient with one's own concerns.
So, go fuck yourself.

About the only social order where the issue of sub/dom is not constantly disputed would be communism.
Any society, which allows (let alone encourages) personal endeaveours and market economics is based on the sub/dom dynamics.
So the short answer is no - "it" will never change.
The long answr is, that while sub/dom dynamics could never be eliminated, as long as whole society is not centralised like a bee-hive, it is possible to become dominant enough to discourage practically any attempt to force you into submissive state.
Nature laws insist, that sub/dom dynamics work like pyramid scheme - lots of submissives on bottom, and each consequent layer consists of fewer people, who dominate those below them and submit to those above them. Analogy could be prolonged even further - submissives are prey, dominants are predators. Each tier of food pyramid consists of fewer people.
So, basically, if you are "lean&mean" enough, it`s possible to raise to a tier of dominance, where you simply won`t have contenders willing to dispute your reign - "predators" of that level have enough of submissives to take care of, to bother contending with their own kine.
At this point, it`s possible to maintain the illusion of equality, pretending those on closest level below you are actually your equals. Of course, that kind of status quo is stable only if the final word on the matters still belongs to you unequivocally.
Mind, the aforementioned is very crude and simplistic explanation of the exact problem and resolurtion, but for the purposes of question it will suffice. Although sound in theory, I recommend careful planning and preparing, if suggestions above are to be put in action in actual certain situation.
