Web pages. Social media. blogs. Twitter. The scary thing is kids seem to think this is funny or a joke. Bullying someone to the point where that person feels death is better is NEVER a joke. What these bullies are doing is driving someone to the end of their lives and to me, in my opinion, is murder.</i><br /><br />What an excellent point. With the advent of social media, a child today is *never* free from the constant threat of bullying--at least when I was a pre-teen, I could go home at the end of the day and get away from the kids who were after me.<br /><br />You are indeed a wise mother limiting their access like that. I'm sure they don't always think so--I bet they are unhappy at times they can't interact with their friends--but there will come a day when they realize just how right you were to impose such restrictions.

Did she have a traumatic reaction to it? No. She she become emotionally damaged by it? No. Is she resentful by it? No. It is my believe that the earlier we teach our children acceptance the better for them and they will learn early on to accept others at school. Because of it, when she sees her oldest sister (23 then) holding hands with her partner, she knows is a gesture of love, not something dirty and by it she's also going to accept those at school who seem or are accused to be LGB or T.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this Dawn.

It's stressful enough to just be young, never mind adding in all the BS that kids think its ok to tease others about. Belittling someone else to make yourself feel big just shows how small-minded you really are.amilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685683349810503196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789306770595487028.post-40416535529133138982012-05-19T15:51:04.484-04:002012-05-19T15:51:04.484-04:00Well written, Dawn.
