I have a 5 year old daughter. I saw a commercial about bullying that I found totally ridiculous. They were saying that a girl was being bullied because two other girls were ignoring her at lunchtime. Give me a break. Bullying is getting in somebody’s face, pushing them around, and/or hitting them. Ignoring somebody is not bullying.
Sometimes people just don’t like each other. The way I see it, ignoring them is the best thing you can do. I guess I’m antisocial, I don’t see a need to smile and talk nice to EVERYBODY.
Well, there's one place where maybe you should and I just came from there, church.
(You big bully)
That really cheapens the usefulness of the concept of bully. Bully is someone who does something so bad that it ought to be punished.
Language has been distorted to the point where it is hard to know what people are talking about.
Think back to the debate about “torturing” al Qaeda members. The media, by using the word torture, put the forced wearing of a dog collar on the same level as mutilation.
“Ignoring somebody is not bullying.”
I hope for your daughter’s sake you figure out that the above is exactly how “nice” girls from “nice” families bully other girls. Unlike boys, they use isolation to establish and enforce the savage pecking order. And to a kid, it’s every bit as vicious as a right-cross to the jaw.
You sit alone at lunch day in and day out trying to choke down a peanut butter sandwich, your shame and humiliation on display, and then tell that kid it isn’t “bullying.”
This bullying hysteria is their latest thing to keep all those helicopter Mom’s scared shiteless.
Remember when it was all the day care people? After the scare, that turned out to be nothing like all the scream was about.
This must be some type of phy-ops.
Yes, there is real bullying, but it certainly ain’t little girls snubbing one another.
The way we quite successfully dealt with real bullies was to stand up to them or stand up to them for a friend, bullies are not interested in a fight.
