An After Dinner Episode

Posted on April 18


Bullying, Fraternities, Teen Angst, Teenagers, Delinquents, aand the list goes on and on. Beloved parents plus truly yours accidentally discussed all of the above right just after tonight's dinner.


Ma: .they're having a Good Parenthood seminar at the..blah, blah, blah.
Pa: Well, that's good at least ******* has a concern about that kind of issue


Fastforward..and I'm kind of skipping all those areas that er, stuffs.


Ma: It's about for the teenagers na naglalayas, early pregnancies, and the rebellious teens
(as if their daughter isn't on the way to be one, the rebel, that is)
Pa: It's the fraternities that should be blamed
Me: (butts in) No, fraternities aren't the only ones to blame and I've come across with fraternity members and they're all decent and civilized naman. Case to case basis lahat yan.


Fast forward to bullying.


Ma: ...she is bullied sa school palibhasa daw kasi yung mga gamit nung bata eh iba dun sa gamit nila. The other classmates are sent to school in cars and she's not, they live in a three-storey house and them on a bungalow. Blah blah blah blah.


Ugh, just didn't have the guts to say that as if their daughters won't tell the same story too. Just didn't have the chance to rant na din siguro. Just what the other "bullied" kids would do, sulk and hope that it would pass. I would've got up at the dinner table that minute but I can't. Well, bullying is a very big issue that's so big it's often missed. 


Sadly, some bullied kids have this tiny "someday plan" inside. It won't go away, it's just there.


Though it isn't clearly shown in the post my point there is that they don't have any idea about bullying. Zero. I hate how they talk about it and the truth is they don't know what is really happening inside the school walls. Those kind of things drives me crazy.
