I didn't know her, but I brought it to her attention in a sort of " what-should-we-do" sort of way. <br />She seemed concerned..upset...and then she left. <br />I'm not trying to say she's wrong..but I think we all get stuck thinking- what CAN we do? it's not OUR kids..are we going to get in trouble if we confront someone else's kid? all those things float through our minds..myself included and there has been times when I see things and sheepishly let it go, but those times were usually when I saw a parent being harsh with their kid. But THIS- I've never seen this before, and this kid was clearly helpless. No way. Nooooo friggin' way. I wish I DID have their phone numbers,I'd be more than happy to explain to their parents why I did what I did.mylifespalettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935559361479813455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222498224780388856.post-37873901721481237942012-06-13T17:29:15.334-07:002012-06-13T17:29:15.334-07:00i think you're awesome. the worst thing to do ...i think you're awesome. the worst thing to do is overlook that this is happening, which i see people do all the time, and it's horrible. how can people just look the other way and think it isn't their business? i was bullied horrifically for a period of my younger life and everyone acted like it wasn't happening. i felt like killing myself because i felt that no one cared enough to help me. so good for you. awesome. <3Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01855827103556310607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222498224780388856.post-41148991074848613682012-06-12T17:22:57.905-07:002012-06-12T17:22:57.905-07:00YES!! you teach your children to stand up for oth...YES!! you teach your children to stand up for others and you show them how it's done. it's one of the best things we can do as parents. i think you did the right thing in confronting those kids head on. sometimes words stick. if just one of those kids mulls over what you said, if only one of those kids changes his behavior, it's worth it. even the "shit" part.calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229226971691217376noreply@blogger.com
