On the money Az 🙂

It isn't a roundabout way, imo. She looks to be trying to do it with a less personal slant... as it also involves the treatment of others in a similar fashion.

Its almost impossible to be directly critical of someone,  we all know how confrontations end up, diplomacy doesn't work either.....

Maybe Crikey but you know sometimes some may think the same about your scrollers too :^O mostly I scroll past 😄

I think you most certainly have got it right Azureline.

If one of my kids told me they were being bullied, the first thing I would do is to try and evaluate why it is that they were being bullied with a view to determining if they were doing anything to encourage it/bring it on themselves.

If they were, and it wasn't something beyond their control, then I would try to help them adjust their behaviour so that it was more socially acceptable.

i do get the feeling, that deep down, or maybe not so deep, someone knows exactly what Iza is trying to say. 

I absolutely agree with you Meep, people standing by and watching bullying without stepping in is the same as bullying. My post was just how I have dealt with my case longterm.

It astounds me the way adults behave here. I have done things I am not proud of either, but I have learnt from it. Hopefully one day others will too.

Now I need to get back to my assignment, have a great day everyone.

LOL I did acknowledge that back there a bit - but ya musta scrolled past it LOLOLOL

but the point I got from that is I try to keep em down, cos I know peeps don;'t always like them and if I do write one, I just have to accept that people probably aren't going to read it, or they are going to complain about it - just as I said to Iza.

I communicate heaps via email with one of my really good friends, and my scrollers drive him nuts~! LOLOL

I just tell him it's part of my charm LOL

If one of my kids told me they were being bullied, the first thing I would do is to try and evaluate why it is that they were being bullied with a view to determining if they were doing anything to encourage it/bring it on themselves.   If they were, and it wasn't something beyond their control, then I would try to help them adjust their behaviour so that it was more socially acceptable.

Kids that are being bullied should never have any of the blame put on themselves.  I think that is a poor approach and one that is used sometimes by schools.

Instead of dealing with the bully, they move the victim.
