This may not be happening to your child, but your child could be one of the bullies or know someone that this is happening to..we must take steps to stop this senseless insults from one child to another! Just yesterday I saw a status from a celebrity who intentionally mentioned someone possibly being gay..why?? It was not necessary to his status, but yet he mentioned it! As a public figure and as an adult that was the last thing we need to see!<br />
The responsibility belongs to all of us, not just parents, we all need to take whatever steps we must to help stop this nasty habit! It is sad but there is also adult bullies who say uncalled for and hateful, hurtful things to other adults on the internet..you have every chance to rewrite and not say in print painful things to others. Weigh your words, double check what you type and make darn sure you are sending the message of what kind of person you really want to be..bullies come in all sizes, shapes, from all walks of life..don't be one yourself!! It takes just as long to be kind as it does to be rude and hateful and your kindness may just save a life!<br />
I know this might seem like a strong statement, but I know from which I am speaking, I was a bullied child....because I was skinny and freckle faced and redheaded and was awful at sports. I was hit by the dreaded dodge ball more times than I care to remember! I cried myself to sleep many nights over things like this..I prayed that I would wake up and not be who I was, but would be pretty and well liked. I compensated by being a straight A student and by being the best I could be in a church group.<br />
Yes, I was always a part of the "cool group", but I felt it was so they had someone to pick on, or help with school work. I don't really know and now I don't really care to know what the motives were. I grew into a attractive well rounded adult. and no I do not feel like I "showed" them, but I showed myself who I was and what I would become.<br />
But you know what, just a couple of weeks ago, I was internet bullied, it hurt, it hurt a lot..but I prayed for that person who was so cruel and so selfish and then let it go. Or so I thought I did...but the old pain of that little girl came flooding back. But as an adult I can work through it and over come it as I have walked the path of an adult and as a Christian. But most children and teens can not do that..so watch for the signs and be involved with your children..you might save their life or the life of someone else's child.<br />

She has appeared on many crafting TV programs and has books published on ATC's. Bernie has also traveled all over the United States to help the <a href="http://www.aspca.org/">ASCPA </a><br />
and <a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/">The Humane Society</a> rescue animals from puppy mills and other hoarding situations.<br />
About 10 years ago Bernie began to rescue dogs from high kill shelters and rehabilitate them if needed and place them in no kill shelters to be adopted. Bernie is a guardian angel to these animals.

<span id="profile_status">"Shelter dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Don't pity a shelter dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness ...............by your side." ~dogsrule.com</span>Winslowwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04364325881736682810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259401113514246119.post-20113350950671610012010-10-03T13:40:00.000-07:002010-10-03T13:40:15.587-07:00"The Vintage Dragonfly" Is Having A Give-A-Way!<a href="http://thevintagedragonfly.typepad.com/the_vintage_dragonfly_stu/2010/09/giveaway.html">Danielle</a> is having a wonderful give away..hurry though it is being drawn tomorrow!!

It has me in it's grip today and a gentle hug it is not!!<br />
All we did was go shopping, stop at a couple of yard sales (which I got a few great things), spent about 30 minutes at Hobby Lobby and off to Wally world for groceries. I at least got the groceries all carted and had to park the cart and go get Ross to stand in line and pay. I just could not do it!<br />
We stopped and got a couple of BBQ sandwiches and some fries and I could hardly eat anything. I laid down for about an hour, but it did not help at all. Might be a long night!<br />
Yes I love to be loved but I wish fibro would go love a door or a stick, maybe a rock..something it could not hurt!!Winslowwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04364325881736682810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259401113514246119.post-28979393863164117252010-09-17T10:10:00.000-07:002010-09-17T10:10:50.160-07:00An Era Ends Today..Hello, my name is Genelle and I am a soap opera addict..I admit it!! It is genetic, I got it from my mother and I passed it to my children. When will this madness stop?? Never I hope!<br />
But today sadly a very long running soap opera comes to an end.."As The World Turns" makes it's last stop in Oakdale today..it first aired in 1956..they say it is low ratings and it probably is as it competes in most areas against "General Hospital" and that soap is always in the top of the ratings.<br />
But still I will miss Dr. Hughes and Lisa and all the good and the bad people of Oakdale. They promise the last one will be a doozy and I hope so, as so many soaps just kind of ended with a thud. It joins a long line of soaps to end.."The Guiding Light", "The Edge of Night", "Another World", "Search For Tomorrow", "Ryan's Hope" and many others.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>You can find a history of soaps <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_opera">here</a>. One thing is for sure soap operas have spawned a ton of stars and led us into some really bizarre happenings. But I love 'em!! I will be there to see the finale of this great long running soap and while watching it today I will recall my mother crocheting away as she watched what the fine folks of Oakdale would do that day.<br />
