Yesterday on the school bus ride home my 11 yr. old son was the victim of a horrible verbal and emotional assault. Some older girls age 15,16,and17 began this ugly incident when my son stepped on a backpack owned by one of the girls,witch she had laid in the aisle. He was taunted and teased during the 45 minute bus ride to our home. He was called FAT, PORKY PIG, The GOBBLIN from HARRY POTTER......They even sunk to the level of taking his photo saying i can't balieve he is so ugly and fat.Oh look at his big ears ......you can imagine how devistating this would be to any child...even an adult would have trouble holding back...Hell when i was in school i would have kicked ass until i could not kick anymore!!!!!But in this age of "PEACEFUL RESOLUTION" my young son just sat there and took it! I am so very proud of his humanity and restraint,but at the same time am absolutely furious with the children and espically the bus driver who just let it all happen! I laid in bed and cried for my son who never even shed a tear...
wondering how this could have been allowed to happen.In my home there is a zero tolerance rule when it comes to hateful or demeaning behavior. I would literally beat my child if i knew they acted in such a way. So i must wonder now what damage has been done to my son.Is this behavior what leads to school shootings...terrorism...all of the things we are trying to prevent. My son seems cold to the fact that he has been brutalized.Now don't get me wrong i don't think this incident alone could cause such events...but the accumulative effect of these incidents could easily cause any human to snap.We are desensatizing our children in order to create a more peaceful world. The old saying sticks n stones can break my bones but words can never hurt my has been proven time and again false...bones heal...but the mind when pushed too far ....that can never truely heal. The anger festers and the mind becomes a place where the darkest of thoughts dwell. Yes my friends anger is good and should be expressed! It is instinct to react when one is threatened. When in action is tought as a rule then we are raising a generation of hateful young people who indeed are capable of those dark actions......are you raising a killer.....we all are when we teach our children that it is ok to forget the fragility of the humen mind!Until we remember that our children are human and have human feelings that can indeed be hurt we will all be raising A GENERATION OF SERIAL KILLERS!
