I think we need to spend more time teaching kids to cope and deal with it. I'm not saying tell them "just deal with it", I mean we need to teach them techniques and give them perspective to handle that it will inevitably happen to them. We are all about trying to stop it, but that's like a war on drugs, rather than fighting a battle that can't be won let's teach them to live in reality and make good choices within that reality (like not killing yourself or others because of it).
Exactly. one thing I don't understand these days is if someone feels left out or there feelings are hurt etc everyone else needs to change for them? Now I was kinda raised maybe outside the norm as my mom passed when I was young and my dad had to work to feed us. So I had a lot of learn it for yourself type situations. but basically the world is and can be a hard and cruel place. If your expecting everyone to like you its gonna hurt when your bubble is popped. You just gotta learn to roll with the punches (literally of figuratively) its not fair its not always right but its life. Who cares if that guy calls you fat or some other name he doesn't know you your situation or what your capable of. He is trying to make himself feel better at your expense you could get angery or sad. Or you could think wow his life must suck really bad if he has to go out of his way to make fun of me for no reason. He his no longer a bully at that point... just a misguided person.
Sometimes you gotta just walk away from a situation too if all the outcomes of fighting will be bad. call me a ***** I don't care at least im not going to jail for smashing this rock thru your face. and your still alive. sigh..
in the end. the only persons opinion of you that truly matter is your own. and your the only one you have to live with every day forever.
Learning how to handle deal and think about these situations can be the difference in having a bad day or some kid killing themselves or someone else.
