"Bullies in the Schoolyard"
Un-freaking believable. Then again, it's 2006, not the early-mid 1970's. I seem to recall a lot of bullying - on me no less, back then. Um, but funny that while all this 'insensitive' bullying was going on, we had much higher test scores, lower drop-out rates (not to mention, less teen pregnancy and other social problems among our youth), but I digress...
Although I was a 'victim' for many years of 'bullying', I wouldn't have had it any other way. It toughened me up physically and mentally. And it prepared me for the real world, not some fantasy arena where there are time-outs and bad folks are sent to a corner...
We have grown way too soft. Especially in the upbringing and education of our boys/young men. And we're going to reap the fruits of the current educational/psychological mindset for years to come. Watch it and see - or should I say Read it and weep.
