I Know Where "blubber" Came From. It Came From Stories That My Daughter Told Me When She Came Home From Fifth Grade. There Was A Kid In The Class Who Was Being Bullied. We Didn't Even Call It Bullying Then, That's What's So Weird. Victimization In The Classroom. The Word Bully Was So Out, Was So Not In Use For All Those Years And Now It's Back Big Time.
I Don't Really Know Exactly How It Happened But I Don't Like The Idea That I Would Ever Have Said I'm Going To Write About Racism Or Puberty Or Bullying.
I Do Not At All Have The Mind Of A Bully... In My Mind Bullies Are Intolerant Of Contrary Opinion, Domineering And Rather Cowardly. I Would Hope That None Of Those Terms Could Be Fairly Used In Describing Me.
We Know Well Enough When We're Being Unjust And Despicable. But We Don't Restrain Ourselves Because We Experience A Certain Pleasure, A Primitive Sort Of Satisfaction In Moments Like That.
We're Not Excusing The Ones Who Are Mean, But I Want Girls To Understand The Psychology. It's Not In Everyone. But The Bully Needs To Put This Pain Somewhere.
I Was So Paranoid That My Friends Wouldn't Like Me. I Went To A Very Small School Where The Consequences Of Bullying Were Very Real. You Couldn't Just Push Some Nameless Face In The Hallway Because Everybody Knew Each Other's Families, So There Wasn't The Obligatory Psychotic Jackass That Tortured Everybody.
I Know The Problem Of Obesity. I Got To Tell You, I Think That's Tepid. I Just Don't Think The Bully Pulpit Is Going To Be Enough To Sufficiently Fight Obesity. We're Going To Have To Have Incentives In Here.
We've Got To Stand Up For Ourselves. That Is, Draw Some Lines, Make It Clear That After A While We're Not Going To Get Bullied Or Pushed Around Because I Think There's Some In China Who Are Tempted To Try To Push The United States Around. They Want To Bully Us.
Somebody Was Saying To Picasso That He Ought To Make Pictures Of Things The Way They Are-objective Pictures. He Mumbled That He Wasn't Quite Sure What That Would Be. The Person Who Was Bullying Him Produced A Photograph Of His Wife From His Wallet And Said, "there, You See, That Is A Picture Of How She Really Is." Picasso Looked At It And Said, "she Is Rather Small, Isn't She? And Flat?"
Patriarchy Is A Bully Notion, Which If You Will Notice Never Attacks A Nation That Can Defend Itself. Zionism Is Patriarchal And Sets Judaism On Its Head.
In Terms Of Bullying, There Are So Many New Laws In America, I Am Not Sure About Worldwide, But In America, The Laws For Bullying Are Getting Strict. And I Am Really Excited Of How Strict They Are And I Think It Has Cut Down On A Lot Of Bullying. As A Kid I Was A Bully And I Was Bullied. I Lived Both Sides Of It. To See What Is Being Done With Bullying Now Is Super Important.
Perhaps It Is Only Human Nature To Inflict Suffering On Anything That Will Endure Suffering, Whether By Reason Of Its Genuine Humility, Or Indifference, Or Sheer Helplessness.
