America is becoming nothing more then the land of
wimps and cowards. Bullying is a normal if not nice side of nature and not
just human nature it has been around since the beginning. Morons now think they
can outlaw it and everything will be fine that is so wrong and is one of the
causes of school shootings and other senseless act of violence we hear about.
When you protect kids from bullying you take away their learning of the skills
needed to deal with it. We had bullies when I was growing up and we learned
either stay away from them or a group joined up and dealt with them. We also
learned by being bullied that we were not the toughest, smartest most athletic
or whatever else we may have thought we were our egos got bruised and we ran
home and cried or ranted to our friends but we got tough and we learned that
"sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me" and guess
what they don't to this day. We grew up in the 60's and 70's and had our fist
fights and yelling matches but we didn't shoot up the school and the cops
weren't called and we didn't go into lock down. You take a kid now a days his
parents have told him from the womb he(she) is great goes to high school with
the mistaken notion he is the best singer, artist what have you and the teachers
tell him he is not. Bang no coping skills he goes gets a gun and wipes out kids
and teachers and everyone wonders why. Answer is easy the kid was lied to from
the beginning about how good and talented he was, he never heard the truth or
had to deal with anything. Take it a step further he makes it through school
and gets a job and the boss (they never bully) tells him he's not up to
standard, he's not good enough something along those lines bang office
massacre. All because misguided idiots want to "PROTECT" someone instead of
letting them grow up normally with all the pain and heartache that goes with
it.
