I don't remember life being so difficult, you got up, dressed, ate breakfast, went to school, came home, did homework, ate supper, took a shower, and went to bed. Get up the next day and start the process over. And do whatever your parents instruct you to do, whether it was mow the grass, rack the leaves, wash the dishes, etc., and you did it without mouthing.
Today, I get a call from my daughter, who is in tears, because a girl at school has decided for her "pet" project to try to destroy my daughter. The fleshy part of me wants to tell my daughter to kick her tail, but the Christian me says "turn the other cheek, and walk away." Why does it get so tiring doing the "right" thing? And how come they never tire of doing the "wrong" thing and what do they get out of it? Do they think it makes them look good, makes them look intelligent, by downgrading someone else?
I don't like it when my children have to experience this kind of abuse, senseless abuse. It has gotten so bad that my daughter wants to change schools, and I tell her that she can't run from this kind of stuff, that it's the same everywhere, mean and bullying kids.
You know, it doesn't have to be like this - I believe this is what happens when you have a generation of children that have not been disciplined at home, and are taught to "fight" no matter what and no matter who it hurts. I don't want my children raised like that - but society, it seems, almost dictates it to be so.
Please keep us in your prayers.
Bella.
