Another school shooting, this time in OR. Sheesh. At least no deaths reported yet.
Christ, can't kids just kick the shit out of each other and be done with like I use to do in my day?
That's what I was thinking.
Whatever happened to fist fights? A couple swings, roll around in the dirt a couple minutes and end up with a black eye or a bloody lip. OVER!
Probably get in more trouble at school for that these days. Amazed at how people are no longer allowed to resolve conflicts on their own. Not that everything is best solved with physical confrontation - most isn't after childhood - but sometimes someone just need a good ol' fashioned ass kicking.
True. Bulling was/is always there though. Things were just handled differently back before you could get e-blasted on social media. So, now 'everybody' knows about it... in just a few keystrokes. Truth, or not.
This is a difficult age for some to balance. Meaning, finding out who you are vs. not drawing too much attention to yourself and worrying what others think.
Me... I didn't give a shit what 'those' kids thought. Not much has changed I suppose. heh.
I'm glad there are so many idiots in this world to serve as a bad example for my kids. Social media sites had such promise and there are certainly benefits to them. I can't completely bash them on what is essentially a social media site here! But the good brings bad - over exposure, comparing yourself to false fronts from others, etc. People just need to learn to separate their 'online' world with their 'real' world. They really should not cross over much. I can't stand seeing constant updates from people on Facebook. I have MOST people blocked, so I just see whatever local interest groups I'm involved with since Facebook serves as more of a 'mass email' source than anything else.
IMO, with all due respect, etc.
As for me, I just worry about my own shit. If other people want to destroy their lives, more power to them.
