Scottie, so sorry you had a personal experience with bullying yourself. Hopefully one day this will not be a problem any longer.

I posted also because I wanted to compliment you on your tag line. Been a while since I have seen or read it and it brings back pleasant memories !!

Love Mr. Burns' ! Began reading him with my mother as a child. She's been gone a very, very long time now. Thanks for the wonderful memories !!

Blessings.

Awww, that is so nice to read about my tag. I switch it up from time to time but always come back to it. My 7th grade lit teacher read this to us and I always remembered it. She read it with the brogue as well. Very entertaining.

Also, the bullying issue I referred to was re my precious little granddaughter. It was a really really bad scare for her.

This is terrible, but kids will find any reason to bully someone. Kids are just vicious at times this is nothing new. Had a recent bad personal experience and there was no ebola involved.

Sorry

Why are you surprised? It's the Bronx and for generations some of the toughest and wisest children have come from there.

I, too, am sorry for your recent experience scottie.

I, as others, liken the fear and mistrust regarding ebola to the same surrounding the early days of the AIDS/HIV epidemic. Remember that sweet little Ryan White, he was bullied and expelled from his school after he had contracted the virus through his blood transfusions for hemophilia. One among too many.

I am sorry for those boys, makes me very sad.

There's no excuse for this incident.

It's not "bullying as usual", not even close to it.

It is specific to a very current, very heated, very public fear/anger/ignorance toward ebola issues.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of bullying. BTW there is more than one type and reason for it.

The adults spread the fears, the children pay for them.

Exactly.

Bullies have been around since the beginning of time.

They sure have. And when the parents of bullies fail to do their jobs, the bullying cycle continues.

So what happened to the bullies, I wonder .....
