Stand Up And Speak Out Against Bullying

There are far too many kids in our schools who endure daily harrassment from bullies. The damage to the child being bullied is enormous. It is time for students to stand up and speak out against this bullying.

Schools are addressing bullying, but also it is sad that parents have to really push for this. Bullying just should not be tolerated.

Yes good foster parents are hard to find.

Once the Trust in a relationship is broken it is very difficult to get it back. I have personally seen several women going back to their husbands after they have been cheated only to end up with an even more bigger hurt and relationship breakup.

there should be space in every relationship,person who is not yours is not yours,infact no one in the world is trustworthy then the real self is the self only,so why run around round and round?

I totally agree with you. An affair shouldn't spell divorce. Perhaps the couple could investigate the cause of the affair and redress the situation so that it will never happen again. It will be different for a spouse who is naturally a womanizer. No amount of forgiveness and investigations would mend such a marriage.

I know what you mean, Children are bullied and teachers turn their backs. I have seen it myself. They don't want to be bothered, and it's not altogether the teachers fault. They can't do it all and they have no support.I hope the schools will come up with some solution.

Teachers now a days don't watch kids the way they need to.

I understand what you mean about having a baby. I have four girls and I can still remember the first time I held each one of them after giving birth. It's an experience no woman should live without.

Lovely poem and truly heart-warming.

for Mothers And Daughters on 7th, Apr 2011

Are you sure you didn't write this about me? : ) Everything you said relates directly to my daughter who is now 25 years old. She got tattoos at 18 and then added some more through the years. She has a beauiful son who is my joy, but I can attest to the fact that those tattoos do not look very attractive after having been stretched out to the max and then shrunk back down to not anywhere near her pre-birth size. There isn't much you can say to your friend that will make a difference. You can sympathize with her and she will feel better just knowing she has a friend willing to listen to her problems. But in the long run, our daughters have done what they have done and there is no turning back when it comes to tattoos. I could try really really hard to overlook the tattoos if my daughter would only get her act together and give up smoking and vulgar talking and become a good example to her son. Oh well. I love my daughter. If the world lasts long enough, there is always hope she will still grow up!

for Am I Abnormal? on 7th, Apr 2011

You took the words right out of my mouth Barb! Me and my husband have talked about this very subject over and over again. See, we are the "wierdo" parents who have ruined our children's lives. And we are definitely "abnormal" when in comes to our views on politeness, common courtesy, respect, smiling to say hello, etc. I find that these good manners are seriously lacking in our world today. I don't think it is us who are "abnormal"!

for Is That Your Child? on 5th, Feb 2011

You have just put into writing the very thoughts and concerns I have had for my children over the years. It is incredibly tuff to raise today's children while managing to instill in them our values and morals. I feel so many times like a failure because it always seems that my kids want to do the opposite of everything I try to teach them as right. Friends, music, TV, etc., are very difficult to compete with, especially through the teen years. And it is hard to constantly be the "bad" parent who insists that the kids obey what I have layed out as guidelines which I expect to be followed. I don't want my kids to hate me. But I want them to turn out to be productive, respectable, honest, hard working adults who have integrity. Parenting is hard. Despite all efforts some kids will even walk away from the family values and morals and step into an undesirable lifestyle. We want to blame ourselves, but kids have free will too. I struggle with my kids every day. I want to give up and tell them that I have given up. I want to tell them they are on their own and good luck! But they are my kids and I love them and I am responsible for how they are raised and what they are taught. I can't give up. Neither should any parent. Thank you for your article.

Again, creativity! Or perhaps these guys just have some insight to this traffic thing that the rest of us don't know about? How did they figure it out? Why can't I? I get a measly 30 or 40 visitors to any of my sites on a GOOD day! (sigh!) Oh well, never give up. To give up is to fail. : )

You did good! too many people are willing to act like they don't see things when they are happening right in front of their eyes. If they don't "see" it, then they don't have to report it and get themselves involved. It is a sad world we live in today.

I would LOVE to discover something to sell so I could work at my own business from my own home! I have always wondered if you can sell much online as far as homemade articles such as jewelry, crochet, etc. Is this your only job? Wow, if I could do something like that it would be great!

I was very moved by your story. My own foster daughter has fought in her mind many times over the idea of being able to love me and also still love her real mom. She is almost 14 years old and we have had her with us for four years. The state FINALLY terminated parental rights on her bio. mom and we hope to adopt her this summer. Thanks for loving your foster children so much. By the way, I am adding you as a friend. If you would like to do the same I would love it. Diane
