Nick Fitzgerald is someone we can be proud of!

[Mutt the Hoople]

Yeah, too bad, indeed. He can **** off.

Awww, I hurt your feelings? McFly, Want me to reach through the keyboard and give you a noogie?

It is unfortunate, 13. Sadly, I'd bet there are plenty of people, even fellow posters on ED, who dismiss the significance of bullying, not just among boys, but girls, too. You always hear comments like "kids will be kids", and/or, "it builds character", etc.....and I heard that shit years ago and it pissed me off, and it still gets me today.

some of the girl bullying can be just as bad. social media has helped perpetuate that. I've got a 13 yr old son here in ft worth. there's is mostly psychological as opposed to the male version that is typically more physical. either one can be equally devastating.

Your shtick really is adorable, Mutt. Keep livin' the dream.

Btw, I saw in the thread on SPS you've had a successful surgery and are healthier for it...I'm happy for you.

Maybe, from time to time, Mutt, take a break from being an internet troll, and give humanity a try....

I know maintaining an "internet personality" is tough goin', but I can't imagine you wouldn't be a better person for it.

Oh, absolutely...if not worse....they can be absolutely vicious, and social media has definitely made things worse.

I appreciate teachers and what they do but a lot of them don?t want to get involved in this stuff. A couple years ago I got an email from my youngest sons teacher(he was 12 then). The email said she was concerned because my son had been hanging around with a young man who she said had questionable character. I asked my son about it, he said Dad that boy doesn?t have anyone in his life that cares about him or loves him, no friends. I?m just trying to be his friend. The boys Mom and dad had alcohol and drug problems. I told him you go right on being in his friend. Sometimes people are labeled as questionable or a problem child before the whole story is known.

The most cruel people in the world are kids. The most bad ass people in the world are WWII Russian women with pitch forks. One thing I have always be proud of. I was a big guy growing up. I a still big. I never picked on any body and defended everyone. I have told my son I better never hear about him picking on someone.

Right on, Jack!

Thank you, much! Yes sir we are but still make a bunch of mistakes. I?ve tried to teach my family to lift up rather than tear down, like I was taught. Whole lot better to see someone smile than see someone hurting.

I always loved guys like you Jack. I was a little kid growing up and to this day ,( 5'7'' and 145 to this day age 54) . but I had great friends like you who loved being around me and always had my back if someone 17'd with me. you Marines are the greatest my man. I'll never forget one of the last lines of "A Few Good Men" where the smart black guy had to tell his not so smart white counter part buddy that they indeed DID do wrong by not protecting the weak which is always the responsibility of a MARINE. my younger brother is a MARINE who is 6 tall and 240 lbs. always has my back. our dad was 6-2, 220 (yeah, I got 17'd on size...LOL).

Amen to that Brother!

I will say this about Beard. he's one of my favorite posters and he and I agree on a shit load of topics. but not everything. that's how life works though, no?

And I say this will all due respect to my fellow brethren Beard.

Yes, there has always been bullying but things have gotten worse since we've turned out backs on God in the school system. it's gone from manageable to suicides and murder due to not having a Godly message to start the day with. Once we can't even play Silent Night at a "Holiday" School gathering, the children catch on and decide that God's law is no longer in play and then as Ozzy so eloquently said in War Pigs : " Satan laughing spreads his wings"..

Glad to see us doing good!

None of the kids I bullied in school whined to college football players to protect them.

You obviously didn't go to my school, because I would have whipped your sorry ass.
