I made sure that all my kids understood before they left home that since the time before they were conceived that the world unto which they were born was constantly trying to destroy and kill them, in the end it always wins.
BTW, for those who are not aware, the subject of the sermon was 1 Corinthians 13. That's the "Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy...." scripture.
Guess that whiny kid should avoid weddings. If I had a nickel for every Christian wedding I attended where that passage was read....
I agree. And over time it's gotten worse and worse. Now these protected kids have moved from K-12 into college..an unprotected area.
And they cannot deal with it.
And each succeeding generation is going to be worse as K-12 keeps lowering that bar.
Everyone is not a winner and everyone is not equal.
These kids came from the K-12 environment where nothing bad can be said.
"Use your words" and "Tell an adult". Never let them handle it themselves.
And now they want the same in college.
What happens when this cohort graduates and goes into the workplace ?
Business is a dog eat dog environment. You're not going to get a paycheck for just "showing up".
You don't like "use your words?" I would rather have a child tell me what's wrong than throw a tantrum. I would also like a child to "tell an adult" if something is wrong because many things require an adult to help.

You are not in the K-12 system and really have no idea what that means.

Bullying has gotten worse because of it.
You assume there are no children in my life, that is incorrect. Also bullying has gone digital, a fist fight in the school yard doesn't solve issues, though it didn't solve issues in the 50s either.

No, I said you are not IN the K-12 system. You don't see what is going on.

Neither are you. Fist fights don't solve problems, just like they don't solve problems in adult life either.
Bullying today is digital and it is important for a child to seek help from an adult rather than deal with it on their own....which many times leads to suicide.

Wrong! Bullies knew not to mess with that little guy quickly.
Dad being in the AF, I started 1st grade with the Germans, where dad was stationed at 5yo.
When we came here, I was always a year to a year and a half younger than my classmates.
A few problems with bullies early on at the military base in Germany, my dad taught me how to deal with a bully. It worked every time and has worked every time since.
Your right, it was not a fist fight, it was this big guy, bucking up to the little guy. A little guy that had no hesitation unleashing a Tasmanian devil after a kick in the nuts. 3rd grade playing kick ball was the first time I unleashed the guns!! It took 2 full grown teachers to get me off of him and I left right then and walked straight home.
Yes, my dad had a little talk with his dad, and we kept our distance from each other for the rest of our school days. So yes, it solved my problem with bullies.
