there was an disturbing article i read the other day about a child that was harrased, humiliated, taunted, and then ultimatly murdered by classmates at her school.  with all the death occuring in the world, you may ask what does it matter. is one child of concern. is it a rallying point for change? next year will anyone remember this child?

i am not sure. i know the parents will, the classmate that commited the murder will, the childs friends will.  i will.  my best friend was murder in front of me, sept 4th of this year it will have occured 26 years ago. i remember it everyday.

what would the world be if he had lived? how different. would i be the person i am? i welcome each day as a day that i might be able to help someone overcome the fears of the past.  opportunities to do this are far and few between. most of us keep our fears locked away in that closet in the room with the drapes closed and the door locked. some of us threw the key away long ago. some hold it close hoping that one day we will use it and take the first step, putting it in the lock.

the bullying has taken a life, it controls many, it intimidate all it touches. it feeds on fear. we bully for fear of being bullyed.  to fit in we chose to ostracize another. we find others that differ from ourselves to use as a rallying point . we gravitate towards like  minded mimics whos mind will bend like the wind, these are the dough for the bread that must rise.  can this stop?  not in our lifetime!

we place restrictions on the behaviour, we impose penalties to prevent repeat occurances. then place the ones we are trying to change in with like minded people in prisons or jails. nothing works better than placing 6-8 juvenile offenders in with one therapist, dont you think.  why not place them with a group of the people they are bullying. kids or adults bullying (lets use black people as an example) why not put them in a NAACP MEETING or a black babtist church. place them with the best example of what the group represents. (dont let jesse jackson get one tho). its just a thought.

well ive written for about 30 minutes, havent said shit thats not been said many times before and way more eloquent than i can. plus no nobody reads my crap anyway.
