There are way too many mean kids out there. I suspect it's because there are too many parents who are unwilling to accept that their child is not perfect. When people -- adults and children -- are not able to accept responsibility for their own shortcomings, we have a very insular public willing only to protect itself.
Since I am a bitch to begin with, I have a tendency to keep my mouth shut when I see mean kids. This causes me to have 20/20 hindsight then I feel like kicking myself for not saying something as was the case today. Back when I was growing up, we knew everyone was watching and everyone had the right to reprimand. That is no longer the case. So, no one takes responsibility for doing something wrong. It's time to make some change.
Perhaps, in the future, I will get myself in line and will call a spade a spade. Damn the consequences.
