The definition of"bullying" oday is and always was "teasing". Yesteryear we just said" Oh they are just teasing." These were over matters of dropping a pencil or shoes that came untied. Other cruel things just were not said. But in today's ease of morality when "booty" is just a regular ol'word the line in a song, the days of respect are gone and another line has been crossed to just say those " crule comments" and that is "bulling"! We as adults are not correcting those who are "bullying." I feel that as a parent my concerns are seen by other adults as over reacting to "teasing." I have taught my children through their Orthodox Christian Faith and morality our beliefs of right and wrong. My children and I have to "decompress" everyday the issues of bullying after they return home from public school. My frustration is over other children who lack the examples that society expects of them.
Girls at the age of 7 are cruel and are bullying. I have personal experince with my daughters. Any ethnic sounding name (Greek at that) creates huge amounts of bullying. I stuggles with maintaining my daughters heritage. A growth sprut that make one taller and "heavier" ( FATTER) then others adds fuel. Girls start it younger with words. As for the boys I have seen their actions being more physical.
I do miss the days of Mayberry with Opie and Andy. Welcome Back Kotter was the begining now Boston Public. What next?
