With all of the media attention and anti-bullying, do you believe that bullying is starting to lighten up and improve or is it getting worse? What are you seeing and experiencing?
Yes, everything is to easy to get these days. No one stops to think about the next person or how what they may say could affect that person. Instant gratification is bad all the way round. Upload videos the more trash they are the more hits they get. See a person minding their own business and you can't let well enough do, you got to say something. this world is so off that I am kicking myself in the behind everyday for bringing two kids into it.Adults, Children and Teachers etc. can all be bullies and it should not be that way.People are so busy looking in the persons yard next door to where they have lost sit of their own wrongs.
I feel like technology is a double-edged sword in that in provides yet another medium for bullying, yet it is a way to bring light to the subject in order to work towards preventing it. I was bullied in grammar school and all the way through to my time in a corporate environment numerous times. It's so sad that people think that they have the right to bully others, does it really make them feel good to do so?!?!? What do they get out of it exactly? I have such a hard time understanding people being cruel to others.
You sound like you had a hard time. I am so sorry for all that was done to you. If I knew you back then i would have been your friend and we would have faced it together. At any age you can be a target for a bully. It makes me sick to know that people are so mean. You have to realize that they are the ones who are weak, they see something in others that they don't have and that is the will to stand alone and on your own. Notice that bullies have many people with them because they are real cowards who can't stand alone. If you catch a bully alone they will give a half smile and go the other way. Only when they have a punch of people they are tough. They suck!
I agree Wanting to get, it is really awful and I can really understand firsthand what victims of bullying are going through having dealt with it myself for so long. Bullies are cowards and think that they're so cool by making others feel badly about themselves.
Thanks and I need them. I hope that you are free from the bullies. If for any reason you need to chat call on me.
Wanting to get ..., thanks so much for your wonderfully supportive comment, I really appreciate it so much. I think that I am finally free of bullies. Once you learn to stand up for yourself, it gets easier and easier and easier....
