Better days

I wonder sometimes if things are going to get better?  Will I ever get a job? Will I ever get out of this house mess?  Are there such things as better days? Are the people who believe that we are in hell now and we will pass on to heaven when we die correct?  I'm not sure.  I do know I am tired of the same old stuff.  I was watching the usual Dr Phil and hearing about this dad who reacted to his child being bullied.  He is now charged with a few misdemeanors.  An attorney tried to say the father was wrong for what he did.  It was clear she lost her argument.

I understand the attorney's argument that no one should take the law into their own hands.  I also substituted in public school for a while.  Some kids just like being mean.  They think it gives them power.  Or maybe they want attention.  Some kids are just frustrating.  They have parents that are either just too busy working or just don't care about what's going on to do anything about it.  The problem is when you put your kid on the school bus, you expect them to get to school safely.  Not with spit in their hair and having condoms thrown at them.  When your kid gets on the bus they become the transits responsibility.  According to the show, the child did tell more than 1 school official that she had been bullied.  One of the panel up there said he should have sued the school.  I agree he should sue the school.  But that takes years in the meantime the damage is being done to this child every day.  This girl has a disability.  If nothing gets done, she will continue to be tormented.  She is more likely to grow up depressed and act out in negative ways.  I hope she is not as angry as I was when I was in school.  The good news is even if her dad did not do the right thing, he did something.  Every little girl needs a great dad.  I am glad this girl has one. 

Me and others like me would like to have a part in stopping this bully issue.  I don't know when we decided to stop being nice to each other.  Even the coolest bad boys are cooler when they have a heart.  Take care
