The comic book and star trek nerds who were beat up in school and teased in gym class never made headlines.
Neither did the computer nerds who were victimized by their peers.
Nor the fat kids.
Just those who may be light in their loafers.
I loathe the pink pravda media.
Some of us gave back as good as we got.
No problem.
Apples and oranges. Only recently has “bullying” (another word that since adopted as buzzword, is becoming dumbed down) become a popular cause celebre. Admittedly because of homos, even if they try to hide that fact.
In our day bullies were known, but it wasn’t a publicity stunt, just a fact of life for many and we had to deal with it.
I will say we never heard about so many suicides for KIDS. Maybe family structure being better then mAde the difference. Not so much insecurity. Personally I dealt with some bullies and LOTS of just plain mean kids, but my family was wonderful. My parents, and even my many cousins, I thank God for them. They played with me rather than belittling my ugliness.
I had a chance to watch some of Duck Dynasty last night.
One of the Roberston sons hired an expensive “pet photographer” to do a session with his mom Miss Kay and her beloved dogs.
The father Phil Robertson hears of it and opines, “’Pet photographer’...that’s the degree you get when you are rejected for ‘aromatherapist’.”
The photographer shows up and is very much a priss. Phil catches one look at him and says, “Oh-oh Miss Kay we got one with mommy issues.”
Ha!
There have been bullies since caveman days but only now has it become the fad to kill oneself over it. When children see adults playing the victim card over every little insignificant thing, it's no wonder they don't learn to buck up and deal with everyday social interactions.
