Basically, this is another chapter in our "new age", how the
world should be, political correctness, brainwashing technique,
"for the children", let's live in bliss.
Here's my
problem, this video is suggesting that if someone is called a
name that it will scar them and ruin their life and chances for
happiness. It even suggests that someone being called the name
when they're young will grow up to be dependent on drugs, will
have a lack of self-esteem, will not succeed or try, will be
prone to depression, and inevitably probably commit suicide.
First off, if you choose to shelter a kid where they are not
exposed to the way life works, then they may be happy until they
are an adult and are exposed to the real world. At that point,
they will be smashed beyond repair. I'm old enough now I've seen
it time and time again.
The key to
this is how you raise your kid. It is very important,,, no,
critical! You must teach your kids who they are. Make them
understand that their purpose is their own and unto themselves.
Their opinion and their thoughts are most important to
themselves and above others. At the same time, we must teach
them to keep an open mind enough to listen and care about what
others might KNOW. The natural side effect of this is that
name-callers become insignificant. This must be reinforced with
the ideology that there is such a thing as right and wrong.
This, of course, is not common in today's political correctness.
But it must be taught that there are those who don't care what
is right and wrong and those people are usually the ones that do
things that serve only themselves. And those people usually try
to bring down others to make them feel good about themselves.
For whatever reason, today society believes that this teaching
isn't the answer anymore and that magically we should just make
the bad things go away rather than teach how to deal with them.
It may sound good in a "poetry like theme" with inspirational
music in the background, but in reality, it does not work.
That said,
I find it ironic, if not infuriating that the entire story
started off with the premise of a kid who fell out of the tree,
and a bruise was noticed by a teacher that started a chain
reaction in which the kid was taken from his home for three days
which I can assure you would have more of a lasting effect on a
child than someone calling them stupid! And yet no mention was
made of this atrocity. The key to a person's happiness is their
foundation. If there is no consistency, a sense of home, people
and things that they can rely on as an absolution (to some
degree), then the rest of a person's personality is built on
"sand".
Kids today
are taught that they are a number, and the best thing that they
can do is be part of a collective to make things better for
everyone. It's living the "bugs life".... The problem is, with
humans that don't work too well. Humans function best when they
focus on how they want to make a difference. It's the parents'
job to reinforce that and give them the morality, character, and
tools, so they have the confidence, the skill, and the
personality to not only achieve what they desire, but also that
they desire what is right. (My two cents)
I just
received a private message on this, and to make a long story
short I think it would be worthwhile to give an example in
public. One example of that morality and character is to teach
your kid to know how to admit when they're wrong and to change
when needed. Pride is based on accomplishments, not opinions.
