There has always been evil in the world. There has always been bullying. There has always been kids that don't get along with each other, parents which promote snobbiness and separation. Why should today be any different? Why are the kids in schools expecting to be treated with kindness and grace? Not that that doesn't happen in school. It does indeed. There are schools that promote indeed excel at teaching kids how to behave. But kids being little humans they slip from time to time. That is what is to be expected. When I was in school I went to school with girls who were nice, some who were snobs, some who didn't mind cheating on tests, some who could be cruel. It is a potpourri always. And I didn't expect them to do anything less than what they did. I chose to concentrate on school work and learning piano and enjoying movies and ballet classes at the bidding and guidance of my mom. I think the greatest thing mom ever did for me was to teach me how to stand on my own principles, right or wrong, and not rely on peer pressure. That is something lacking in schools and lacking in this generation. They rely too much on peers and parents are unwilling to get involved with them. Solution: parents teach your children well, love them, show them mercy and grace, but teach them to be strong.
