I have been bad, I have been slacking on my post’s and I am sorry! No excuses…

Today’s blog is going to be a little different, I was speaking with my father earlier and he brought to my attention some very troubling news from South Hadley Mass…here is a quick video to get the full effect.

Not many words came to my tongue after I watched this clip, I guess the word “sad” fits best.

…sad that her parents, family and friends have to live with this tragedy for the rest of their lives.

…sad that her parents, family and friends have to live with this knowing it was most likely preventable.

…sad that this isn’t the first incident of student bullying in South Hadley schools.

There is a difference between being picked up and what this young female had to endure. It was non-stop bullying in school and out of school; on Facebook, Myspace and via texting. For what reason…? Nothing can justify this inhumane treatment of another student.

…sad that teachers didn’t pickup on this or if they did, turned their shoulder.

…sad that parents raise kids like this now a days, kids that need to feel superior by demoralizing another student and the end result?…death.

I guess this sits deep in my soul because people need to take action in their own hands, it needs to start with parents. The word “parent” in today’s world mean’s nothing more having a child. Whatever happened to teaching morals, values and respect?

Over the last couple years; as I’ve been maturing, becoming that remarkable person my parents pushed me to become, and I have come to a very powerful and bold realization…We, as a people, are falling apart.

I understand, there are very good people out there. Yet everyday the good is fighting and uphill battle against the bad.Obesity Epidemic, Health Care Costs, Teen Suicides, increase of sedentary children…etc. This list goes on at a very alarming rate. Whatever happened to respecting each other, keeping an open mind to knew things, new people and new ideas. We are very quick to judge as a nation and it’s pathetic.

Have a look in the mirror? What do you see…someone who treats others with fairness, respect and dignity as you would family; someone who accepts things other than “status quo”; continually learning, reading and writing to stay up to date and won’t settle for complacency and ignorance. Let’s be real, everyone isn’t perfect, we got it, blah blah save me the BS please…no reason why you can’t be perfect at being a respectable human being…at any age.

Kids, don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself and parents…for the love of god, get over yourself and do your REAL job, be a parent not a accountant…

For those of you who are legit and demand the best out of people, thank you.

Hope this sheds some light on the people who need it…

Peace. Love and Respect.
