We began a new thing here and this they don't understand.It should be explained to them. We don't need their problems We have enough of our own.<br />If they come here to begin a new life, they should begin a NEW life.Not continue with the mistakes of the old one.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-76937903846822224902013-04-15T14:40:07.106-07:002013-04-15T14:40:07.106-07:00Kathleen - you don't have to be in the wrong p...Kathleen - you don't have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.<br />In my case I was at home, going to school and they looked me up. They had to find my address and phone number to do that while being friends with my parents.<br />My parents tried to help people, esp young people, but they are not to be helped and bring trouble to your house. We moved by then and they had no way to look us up but they found a way.My parents never knew about this and I was never allowed to stay when one of them would drop by to say hello.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-30467060066200204522013-04-15T13:34:51.181-07:002013-04-15T13:34:51.181-07:00Unfortunately bullying problem exists in all Weste...Unfortunately bullying problem exists in all Western countries.

I ...This is such a helpful, topical and scary post! I don't shock easily, but your experience with the prostitute neighbor was truly alarming. Bullying in any form, at any age, is a huge problem and your advice for prevention and handling this are excellent. <br /><br />You know what amazes me? Mean girls don't grow out of it. They just get older and meaner! I see some people around here -- I live in one of the newer Del Webb Sun Cities -- who behave just horribly to vulnerable people. And, of course, it isn't just women who are mean. We have some pretty terrible guys around here, too. I think as one ages, one simply becomes more of whatever one was before.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-65387670819283122862013-04-15T11:27:00.089-07:002013-04-15T11:27:00.089-07:00You know what's good for one is good for the o...You know what's good for one is good for the other .<br />They don't stop at internet. They don't stop with kids. They bully adults too. Try saying something to one of them and they will make life hell for you. You complain at school & they they say OH MY GOD!!! Don't mess with them! They'll come to your home. They'll paint your car. etc....So one can easily get things on video and iphone on their behavior as well.<br />Also your behavior counts for a lot too. Today anything can be orchestrated. Putting one head on another body. That kind of thing Today nothing is as it seems. But kids should learn how to behave at home by their parents who should be vigilant raising them. That's why one parent should always be at home.When you have two parents working and no grand parent or someone to watch the children at home, they do things they are not supposed to because they trust the wrong people or because they get swayed into experimenting, or because it's fun.<br />You know it takes two to tango<br />Everything you do in life has consequences.<br />I made a habit of taking pics of bullies cause this is what the police said to do. Take pics and give them to the police. They came to ask for the pics saying they will sue me and I said sure, they are at the police station. Go get them.Of course, they will never do that. lolA Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-55030194769710160342013-04-15T10:54:23.876-07:002013-04-15T10:54:23.876-07:00There is so much bullying but nowadays, it's e...There is so much bullying but nowadays, it's easier to bully using social media, and everyone hears about it.

Trish.<br />I know schools don't do anything.Many times they take the side of the bully because teachers are also afraid of them .<br />Many of them do drugs and are in gangs.<br />You have a problem, you have to know how to deal with it yourself.<br />Telling parents is a good thing to do .<br />I find taking pictures works extremely well cause they hate evidence being sent to the police.<br />A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-87260090104099548042013-04-15T06:09:17.889-07:002013-04-15T06:09:17.889-07:00I was very happy to read this post girlie.

This touches our home because our youngest was bullied and my husband and I went to the school and went even higher up because they didn't seem to care so<br />here in Mass now if there is bullying these kids HAVE to go to court and face a judge.<br />How I know this is because I got on the band wagon and made 100's of phone calls and my husband knows our Gov. D. Patrick and I worked with him on a personal level and he asked our youngest son if he would if our son had to tell his story of what he went through to the state and he said YES, but the votes went in our favor and it is a law now, I was there when the Bully Bill was signed. Our youngest said Mom thank you and I am so proud of you and I told him I am proud of him and he is my HERO, he was always able to come to us and let us know the things that were happening at school, he is graduating soon and is going to college. He never gets bullied now. I also blame the teachers, my son was being bullied in 10th grade and a teacher walked by and our son said something to him and the teacher walked away and he called me and told me and I went right down and had that teacher come in the office and believe me I told our son after the teacher said sorry that still wasn't good enough so when I was in there my husband showed up and because I called him at work and told him what was going on and lets just say that teacher watched out for our son from then on.<br />For the bullies they were expelled from school for a week.<br />I believe that bullies learn this from home and they don't like who they are so they strike out at other's, still doesn't make it right.<br />We taught our sons that these things even happens a the work place.<br /><br />Thank you for a FABULOUS post,<br />TriciaHillcresthome Primshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870766185773491732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-8561992649876339602013-04-15T05:48:03.054-07:002013-04-15T05:48:03.054-07:00Akelamalu - More people have to write on the subje...Akelamalu - More people have to write on the subject so young people read it.<br />ThanksA Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-43272315077777632172013-04-15T05:35:57.712-07:002013-04-15T05:35:57.712-07:00Bullying is the most heinous act.

As you say I told them never to throw the first punch but to retaliate and not allow themselves to be defeated or they would never have a minutes peace thereafter. Great post, great advice.

Some don;t know how because society has taken this capacity away.<br />Today they say Oh we have to do something about bullies not realizing that life is all about being bullied because no one follows the 10 commandments.Business is cruel. Finance companies are cold and cruel Banks are cold and cruel Jobs are difficult to do. Many people complain of abuse at work.<br />If kids don't learn how to defend themselves against young bullies at school, how are they to survive in this cold world.<br />You know even schools are cruel. You go to a counselor to get help and they give you the wrong help.<br />They don't even know who you are.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-21336225789624838142013-04-15T02:00:21.633-07:002013-04-15T02:00:21.633-07:00What very philosophical post!

Kids can be very mean, as they lack selfcontrol. I went through many fights, both verbal and physical. Some I won, some I lost. <br />With that said though, I also always had a handful of great friends and had no trouble in dealing with the "mean" kids.;)<br />I feel very sorry for children to whom bullying is impossible to deal with and who see taking their own lives is the only way out. <br />I never ever, and I mean EVER! had that kind of inclinations. I often think that perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye. Some sort of other instability in their psyche, or an incredible sensitivity...<br /><br />Thnak you for this very substantial and important post.;)<br />Have a great week ahead.;)<br /><br />xoxoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-84525257268238398752013-04-14T14:12:16.015-07:002013-04-14T14:12:16.015-07:00Lorna yes I am an interesting person lol
