Where is our society heading if fourth graders know this much about sex? I cannot imagine ever seeing a headline like this in the news when I was in fourth grade. Either things like that did not occur back then or they were kept out of the news. I’m not sure I even knew what being gay meant in fourth grade. The mother of the victim must feel horrible because there is literally nothing she can do. That child will be tainted the rest of his life. The thoughts that were going through the three bully’s minds is something that I cannot wrap my head around, probably because my mind does not think on those terms. That would be the same as trying to understand the mind of a killer. Because there were three boys involved I wander if there was an element of pear pressure propelling the situation. I cannot imagine that ALL three boys are homosexual and wanted to satisfy some desire. So what was actually going on here? I cannot help but think this has something to do with TV, video games, Internet and our today's society in general.
Pear pressure is a rough thing to deal with. When you squeeze hard, the skin might slip out of your hands.
ReplyDeleteThe victim's parents can still help him overcome this. I was harassed in the school bathroom once. I smashed my poop in their faces. It felt way better than whining to a teacher and they never tried to bully me again.
