Antidote for Bullies?

I was bullied as a child for being different. My Mother dressed me like a freak from another era, and another planet. I got beat up and picked on relentlessly. They would surround me holding hands and would say all these horrible things to me, and call me dumb and stupid. I hated my mother. No one did a thing about it. Fortunately,my Dad stepped in and took me to live with him. He respected my wishes as to the clothes I wanted to ware, and I didn't ever ware glasses again in school.



I HATE BULLY'S. I am familiar with the story which prompted this discussion. I am sick inside knowing that this little boy killed himself because of bully's. It breaks my heart. Action is finally being taken, and teachers and parents are finally noticing. It about time. These kids who are getting bullied need to tell someone. They need positive reinforcement from adults. Adults need to be 'adults' and address this issue. Unfortunately, someone had to die before things got stepped up.



One of my sons was picked on at school. He was fortunate to have brothers who stuck up for him. His twin brother kicked the kid's ass who was picking on his brother. His brother,my son, is gay. They stopped picking on him. He had a difficult time figuring out everything, but he is fine, and happy. I love him for who he is, not his sexual preference. Laws are changing. These things have to be addressed. Parents are responsible for teaching their children that being different is just being different, not bad, stupid, or whatever. It is the adults responsibility to take charge, step in. Do the right thing. Archie Bunker's of the world are not welcomed anymore.



There are still bully's, and will probably always be, but things are changing, and I am glad. I know you probably think it is wrong that one of my son's beat up another kid. Well, he took matters into his own hands. I taught them to stick up for themselves, and to take care of each other. He protected his brother because he was different, and was being abused by someone. Tell me you wouldn't stick up for your brother or sister if someone was trying to hurt them, or was being cruel to them? I had to stick up for my sister when she was little because she was really fat.



Don't be a bully, be a Star. WWE campaign's saying, and I think it is awesome. it teaches kindness and tolerance. Thats the way it should be.

You will learn the true measure of love - the steadfast, undying kind that says, "It doesn't matter where we are or what we do, or how life treats us as long as we are together." Respect this always. It is the most precious gift any living soul can give another. You will not find it often among the human race.



"From Hospice care for old, dying dogs."



How true this really is. There is a picture of a beautiful old greyhound in the hospice. I will post it in my portfolio.

A month has gone by since I lost my dog. Sometimes I see her out of the corner of my eye. I'd like to believe she is still here somehow. Summer is coming and she didn't get a chance to enjoy it this year. :( He daughter, Tawny's arthritis seems to be getting worse, but she is a trooper. She is a happy girl. Abigail, my Min Pin is still too fat. She gobbles anything foodwise that she can find. But...



There is one less bowl to fill, one less ticking toenails on the floor. One less Sentinel who has guarded me for so may years. One less heart beating. One less beam of joy.
