Very good post. Very true...Hi, new follower here... Very good post. Very true also. I was bullied & was a bully. Not fun. And while I was a bully at one point - I was not happy. I am glad we are more aware of bullying these days. I have had to deal with it a little bit with my kids, but it has always passed before becoming a big issue.<br /><br />I wanted to let you know, I have 2 giveaways going on if you're interested: <a href="http://wedonthaveitalltogether.blogspot.com/l" rel="nofollow">We Don't Have It All Together</a>Danielle @ We Have It Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342866062177224047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-29008027998749699942010-12-15T00:07:42.790-06:002010-12-15T00:07:42.790-06:00I just found your blog and I am now following you....I just found your blog and I am now following you. I remember the first time I saw kids being mean to my son. It broke my heart. We were on the playground and Zachary who was 4 at the time went up to two older boys (probably around 6) and asked them to play. They ran away from him. Bless Zachary, he didn't get that they were being mean to him. He thought that they were playing a chasing game. I realized how much confidance he has, it never even occured to him that kids wouldn't want to play with him. Sadly I see him slowly losing that innocence... <br />www.getrealmama.blogspot.comGetrealmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845080109898768505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-4071356407966688112010-12-14T20:27:00.637-06:002010-12-14T20:27:00.637-06:00Girls are so evil.

Girls mostly do it, because we are evil like that.TMWHickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099277984216556857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-81016991291177203722010-12-14T14:18:33.607-06:002010-12-14T14:18:33.607-06:00I'm not sure I agree that what happened is rea...I'm not sure I agree that what happened is really bullying. Kids shouldn't have to play with other kids if they don't want to, I've always hated the whole "forced sharing" thing that parents do to kids, at least around here. Maybe he could have handled it better, but I don't know how old he is, but if he doesn't want to play with his cousin it doesn't make him a bully. In my opinion.<br /><br />And, I was bullied in 8th grade; pretty badly, actually. I'm absolutely terrified of it happening to Jake, and I'm sure it will.jillsmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471645179097384631noreply@blogger.com
