LIR: groiny, maybe it is a male/female thing. I sure see that already between my kids at school. The stuff girls are dealing with

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Oct 4 '12, 11:24

is far more emotional than physical and as guys, we kinda brush off the names and games and have to deal more with the physical threats. In the end though, that doesn't make either any less real/important

third world despots are less nasty than a pack of middle school girls. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:24 50
- ultimately, though, these are just words, no? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:25 49
  - Once might be just words. But hearing it systematically - like every day, or from an authority figure, is bullying. - Roger More Oct 4, 11:38 3
    - or how about people stealing and breaking your belongings? -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:41 2
      - well, that is an actual crime, so..... nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:42 1
        
        not as if you can do anyting about it, your life will become an even worse hell. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:43
  - There are all sorts of studies that show how harmful bullying is on development. Keep in mind that kids brains are not fully developed and they don't - pmb Oct 4, 11:32 22
    - Here's an article on the subject. - pmb Oct 4, 11:36
    - fact: the part of the brain that understands 'consequences' isn't fully developed till you are 25. they don't have perspective like we do. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:36
    - I really do find this fascinating. - groiny Oct 4, 11:35 19

        well, we are not exactly the target demo for bullying. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:44
      - "grammar school" what are you 85? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:36 15
        
        that's what I call it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:37 3
        
        exactly. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:38 1
        
        Shut it! -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:40
        
        not helping! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:38
        
        what else do you call it? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:37 10
        
        "grade school", or just "elementary school" if you're specifically talking the first 5 or 6 grades. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:38 8
        
        curious. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:39 7
        
        it's grade school, sorry dude - oblique Oct 4, 11:42 6
        
        not in my world it is not. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:42 5
        
        the south side is a different world, for sure -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:44 4
        
        for one, we do not kiss our cows good night down here. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:45 3
        
        ...we're just wham, bam, thank you heffer kind of guys -- nm - groiny si Oct 4, 11:46 2
        
        Moo! -- nm - Epiphany the CM Oct 4, 11:48 1
        
        come, park your bovine ass on my lap, Bessie! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:49
        
        we call it 'primary' or 'grade' school. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:38
      - I went to school with boys like that. it was a nightmare. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:36
  - girls only have words. They don't get into fistfights. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:30 8
    - They also have ladyparts. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:31 1
      - this is fals... oh wait. -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 11:34
    - That's not necessarily true. I seen some girls throw down...and they ain't playing. That's like fighting to the death and shit. - Jim Oct 4, 11:31 4
      - no, you're right. But it's less common. and girls do not let up. Sometimes you can try to stand up to them and it only gets much worse. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:33
      - They rip hair out. Bru--tal stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:32 1
        
        And don't be wearing no dangly ear rings...cause that shit will be on the sidewalk. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 11:32
      - PILLOW FIGHT!! -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:32
    - in my school, they did. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:31
  - nope. alot of suicides over that type of thing. FB, twitter and all that shit just makes it even worse...and easier -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 11:30 8
    - it makes it all the more pervasive, as kids connect more and more, they have less and less safe space -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:33
    - luckily, I have not had to go through this with my daughter yet. - groiny Oct 4, 11:32 6
      - How old is she now? Eventually you'll have to let her otherwise it just makes it even more enticing. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:33 5
        
        11. some of her friends have it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:34 4
        
        well, FB itself has a minimum age of 13, so you can use that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:35 3
        
        This is what we're doing (my guy is 12). The requirement is also that we have his passwords and that we are friends with him -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:36 2
        
        until he figures out how to change his password or creates an alternate account. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:37 1
        
        If I found his password changed, it's end of the line. I already cut off his wifi access at 10pm by mac address - oblique Oct 4, 11:38
  - You really don't understand women. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 11:29
  - "just"? -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:28 2
    - sticks and stones, right? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:29 1
      - just because something we tell ourselves to make us feel better does mean it's true. -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:31
