New Idea for SCENT ELIMINATOR
#22
After watching the program on bullying on TV this last week, and learning how many children have commited suicide as a result of it, and learning that two more childern commited suicide in the area where we used to live, where two of my children were bullied in school, and one is receiving intensive treatment for Post Traumtic Shock Disorder, as a result of the bullying - 10 years ago - I've begun to realize that the abusive, negative, or maligning comments made on talk forums (often where the author is anonymous and can get by with it) are nothing more than the adult form of bullying. You'd think people would grow up - and that if they think of themsleves as Christians - that they would first ask thenmselves if what they are about to do - is what Jesus would do. If not - why do it? If they do not claim to be Christains, why can't they live by the Golden Rule, " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Has human kindness and decency gone by the wayside? Have ideas such as "respect your elders", "do unto others" etc been lost in our human experience advancement? Have we leaned nothing from the internal and external wars around th world or the attacks on our own soil?
Doesn't "just trying to get along, by leaving well enough alone" - mean anything to the younger generations - or has our complacency about such behavior, and the anonimity of talk forums - allowed, and probably fostered what is normally viewed as bad behavior - to be accepted as allowable behavior? Isn't behavior such as this what leads to low self esteen in those being maligned, and when others join in - to bullying - which may lead to suicide by some people?
Why do it? What possible positive outcome can come from such bad behavior? Do you not have anything better to do with your life, or is bullying what your life is all about?
May God bless you,
T.R.
