In this life

Today there was an assembly about bullying.I didn't attend it but I was packing up the lunch crate and heard some of what the woman was talking about.
Theres are several types of bullying
Theres verbal bullying and physical bullying.
In school I was a victim of verbal bullying.Mostly name calling.
It was mostly kids calling me stuff like reject and retard because they know I was in a Special ed class.
Being in a special Ed class doesn't mean your retarded.It just means you having a harder time learning somethings or your learning process isnt at the same level as the other kids.I think folks should know that.
We tend to base peoples social status on knowledge,income,where they live,race,etc
We should just stop all that BS and treat each other with love and respect.
Instead of putting someone down we should lift each other up.
Today I told asked a young student how he was doing and told him I was proud of him.Sadly some kids don't hear that enough.they get told when they don't do what they should but they don't hear "you did well" or "Im proud of you" enough.
Good old reality TV is no help either Shows Like basketball wives where all they do is argue and fight and The Jersey shore where they party, and sleep with each other is not not a good influence.
Oh but what do I know?I grew up in the 60 and 70s but as far as quality entertainment goes Paul Simon said it best.I was born at the right time!
OK now if you have kids go give them a hug and tell them how much you love them!
