I picked up Harrison at school and he's crying because "Grace started a rumor" and everyone had been picking on him and he said he couldn't wait till 3:15 so I'd be there and take him away from the people making fun of him.


Broke my heart. Poor guy. Kids can be so mean!

    hell, I'm afraid of kids as an adult.

    seriously, the first day of kindergarden, I was soooo psyched to be in school, make new friends, etc., but then some kid decided that if you replace the first letter of my last name with the letter p it sounds funny (it really doesn't, it doesn't make a word or anything). anyway, after that I was the whipping post for the next 7 years.

    One of life's little truths: whatever generation you were part of as a kid, that was the last one with a shred of decency. :p

    I think most parents accept that kids just speak their minds. I made a HUGE point of explaining to my son not to hurt people's feelings and to always think before saying something - would you like it if it were said to you? he has always been VERY aware of it and very kind to everyone.

    I just don't think it's drilled in enough at home. Kids have no filter - it's not their fault - some things need to be taught.

    But hell yeah, they can be mean! But so can adults - and we know better ;)

    i run into kids all the time where i just wish it was acceptable to punch a kid right in the mouth.

    kids are evil.


    a friend and i were out the other day, and some kid about 8 comes up to us and looks right at my friend and says, "your a N word" my friend just laughed at him, then the kid says to him "why are you so fat"

    i just wanted to drop kick the little fucker.

    i told him if he ever used the N word again that i would find out where he lives and kill his mom and dad. that seemed to shut him up.

    kids are brutal.
    Peace, Love.

    damn, kids are rough. they speak their minds that's for sure. and if you ever try and do something back to them, they start crying and saying you're being mean. kids also tend to think they're hot shit, better than everyone else, and until they get out of that stage, you just gotta deal with it.

    edit: I think a lot of times they say mean things cause at that age it can be hard to understand the true meanings of the words they say. also, kids can't be empathetic for shit.

    I have a guy dress up as a Peanut guy in front of my store in the summer. Yea its funny to make fun of him, but only in a harmless way. Well, every year kids are always very very mean. Groups of them knocking him over, last year I caught the kids and told them to stay away from my store or I will drag them to their house and kick their fathers ass.
    LOL, They never came back.

    exactly!

    some parents don't set any boundaries for their children. or if they do, those boundaries aren't respected by the parents let alone the kids and the mums and dads give in wayyyy too easily.

    we get parents coming in with their kiddies mostly to buy some candy and some adults! :mad: their kids will be sticking their hands in the boxes of candy, running behind the counter and whatnot.. and what do the parents do? bloody nothing! or maybe quietly say "oh don't go there love, don't do that, come back.." with no fecking authority at all!!

    and at the other end are the folks who plain straight YELL at their offspring. no bloody good either.

    one mum came in with a young girl and when she wouldn't listen to what the mum was telling her (she was like 5 years old anyway) all the mum said was: "oh you're not listening to me at all today. you're really not doing as I tell you.." wtf!? don't TELL the kid that!

    ARGH!!

    anyway, sorry for the rant. my point is, kids need to be told what's okay to do and what's not. firmly, stricktly but fairly.

    it won't completely stop them being mean to each other but then again, I don't think anything will. but it should cut down the straighforward IDIOCITY some kids portray.

    thank you. :p

    kids are pussies these days... when i was at school i did 6am till 11pm and had a 14 second lunch break.

    14 seconds to batter 4 geeks and eat their lunch is no mean feat... :)
