The New Bullies

Just when we thought we were through with the misunderstood children who like to pick on the younger week kids because they could. Taking their lunch monies and extorting them to bring things to make themselves look good. Back in the day they called it "Joning" or criticizing one another for fun. What once use to start off as harmless fun now leads to children being shot at school. Teens making bombs in the basement to get back at the ones who made fun of them. Now the trend has fallen on the so called professionals....turn on a TV show or radio or read through your local social media log, and you'll hear, see and read some of the same rhetoric from your childhood history. Oh! What have we learned....to be more thick skinned about the criticism or not to take it seriously. What we haven't learned is not to do it at all. What hurt when you were 14 years of age taking a hazing from your classmates still hurts to day in our 40's and 50's. Terms like...(he's too fat)( She has the wrong hair style) This is not about "self esteem" we feed ourselves and egos plenty of that. What happened to the professionals who are suppose to uplift, inspire and motivate people. What happened to great power requiring great responsibilities. What happened to...If you can't say something nice ....don't say nothing at all. And that's the bottom line...people not being responsible for what comes out of their mouths...and more so they find others to validate their madness. A young man who hung himself for being called a homosexual. Some may not care...but that was someones child. This is a new time...we are barley getting past racism...and now we feed a new beast. In short more people should act, speak and carry themselves as their age dictates, not their shoe size. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I put childish things behind me.(1 cor. 13:11)
