Yesterday I watched the Southpark episode of Bullying Butters. I laughed so hard I cried. I watched it again and realized that those jokers know more about social concern than most experts.
Bullying is a result of having kids and growing them up as friends or adults rather than raising up children with discipline.
Folks want to blame schools. They want to blame kids, they want to invent disorders, but they never want to realize they as parents raised up monsters that know nothing of life's sanctity. Isn't it time to see a thing for what it is?
I was bullied as a youngster. Before my voice changed in maturity kids used to call me a little girl, add that up with my name and it was a free for all. I know I didn't like it much. I wet after one particular bully and ended bullying coming my way summarily. I promise you this; that bully was crying for his trouble when I calmed down. Sure I ended up in the principle's office and faced the music. I remember getting harsh punishment for having the school contact my parents over the fight, but I sucked it up.
I can't say I ever consciously bullied anyone myself, but I likely participated in some type of bullying.
Bullying is an ageless characteristic of weak-minded individuals. It has been going on since creation. When I was raised up children were the result of how parents raised hem. Parents were responsible. Today, kids are lucky if they even have parents.
In our culture today kids are property. These are abused on so many levels by so-called adults. Sexual, emotional and economic abuse are huge illnesses in our culture. Kids do as they are taught. They do what they learn. Who is teaching them and what are they learning?
While the world struggles to figure out why bullying is such a problem, I can only conclude that the kids who are bullies have idiot parents.
If a child gets no attention when he/she seeks it, what will they do to get the attention they demand? If a child is raised up with revolving male role introductions that demonstrate abusive tendencies towards mom will they not know anger? If mom sends junior out of the house to a baby sitting organization known as public schools, what type of self confidence will that child develop? What kind of life skills are taught to children that spend time gaming on computers rather than interacting in a playground?
Quite honestly, until adults and parents realize bullying is a result of inept oversight and poor parenting, the condition will only worsen.
The best thinking on raising children comes from scripture. The subject of raising children is written about in several books from both the old and new testaments. Clearly the experts are putting the cart before the horse on this issue. If more people knew of wisdom written in the Bible there would be less need of experts so hell bent on prescribing medications for not teaching life lessons in the lives of children when the lesson needed addressing.
Inventing rationality that removes those responsible from accountability is an epidemic. Government lives and operates in that thinking. The media thrives on discussing how to approach social crisis-es, and the world overlooks crimes against children every second of each day.
We need licenses to do specific jobs, or operate vehicles. We must maintain certifications in order to be accountable to anything we involve ourselves in doing. Maybe it is time that we think on licensing parenthood. The reality of bullies demonstrates factually that children aren't being raised to respect the lives of others, and that has one source. Parents of poor character.
