You know,

I'm not the nicest person,

but at least

I don't get mad at you

when you're not a nice person.

At least, I don't flip out

over nothing

and say things like,

"why do you always do this?"

in public

in front of teachers and other people

even though it was the first time

I even did anything

and it wasn't nearly as serious

as anything you've done before.

See, 

I didn't get mad when you made fun

of the book I was reading 

or my writing

or my mathematical abilities.

You're really good at playing the victim.
