Etiquette - August 2006

There is this boy at my school named Tommy who has been bullying me since 4th grade. He has called me fat, dumb and ugly. He has made prank calls to my house. During our school dance (I'm now in 6th grade) I was trying to talk to my 2 friends who we're slow dancing, and Tommy came up to me and said "SHUT UP EMILY! LEAVE!"
Since 4th grade when I moved to his school, I have been afraid to go to school. He has gotten his friends to bully me to. He got 1 boy to call me a lesbian. I'm not a lesbian, I have a boyfriend. Though 1 of his friends, Ryan, keeps telling them to stop, they don't listen to him. I have told teachers but they don't care. I scared to go to school. This really hurts. Help please.....

I try to think about if I would care if I were called "a white person", and it doesn't bother me. However there seems to be this politically correct business where you MUST refer to such individuals as "African-American" and not "black".

What do you think? I hate using the term "African-American" because I believe ALL citizens of the US are just that.... not some hybrid. Otherwise, then I'd have to be called English-Irish-Austrian-American, I was born in the U.S., but so were most blacks.

Thoughts?

I am a coach and the person doing this is a parent of one of my players. She is saying to people around town that if I don't play her daughter she is going to go to the administation about things her daughter says I said to her. She is involving other players, and even my own nephew, who dates her daughter. What she is saying is blown way out of proportion, and I think it's stemming from the fact her daughter was disciplined recently by me. I know I should ignore it, but I'm afraid it will distroy the dynamics of my team, not to mention my reputation.

Just call him as he is. What's wrong with that?

How can you tell someone they are an annoying eater, and ask them to not be so annoying without making them mad?

I am going to an event in October and the requirement is evening dress-the men will be in Dinner Jackets (tuxedos). Does this mean I will have to wear a floor length dress, or would it be ok to wear an A-line dress where the end of the dress is below the knee and sweeps to the ankle?

I like swearing. I like to express myself. And I like to express myself freely, easily, spontaneously, responsvely, responsibly and with energy. I don't swear often but, in the moment, or in the heat and energy of the moment, if a swearword seems terribly appropriate then why should I get heavy handed with myself and censor the truth of the moment because of some other person's defective principles?

I want to be allowed to swear freely even with children because I think that swearing in itself need not cause problems or harm. What does need to be contained is bad behaviour of any kind. But many people don't know how to recognise bad behaviour or how to tackle it. It's so easy to challenge swearwords, just because it's an easy target. I use swearwords conctructively and I don't see why I should be inhibited by someone who can't see that I am being constructive.

How would you go about pursuading a puritan to be more relaxed about swearing?
How would you defend swearing?

For instance, if you drop something, do you stop to pick it back up, or do you just think "its someone else's problem." I'm just curious to what degree people respect or care about store employees and their work.
