A Redneck Diva's Kitchen..: Kids And Teens Can Be So Hurtful

I was watching a commercial this morning that brought tears to my eyes and has brought back a lot of hurtful memories from when I was in school and even now days and what school is like. It's bullying, teasing, calling names, making fun, whatever and however you choose to look at it. Kids these days are just mean and evil at times and it's severely damaging to others or at least those it's done to.
Here's the deal. As a child and teen I didn't have the "cool" clothes or shoes or whatever else was "in" as they call it. I was just me. I came from a family of 4 kids and didn't have a lot of money but what I had to me was awesome and I guess that wasn't enough for those"cool" kids. I was made fun of for wearing "out of style hand-me-downs" but I think Dolly Parton said it best when she sang "Coat of Many Colors" everything my family gave me was worn proudly. Well I am 36 years old and things are exactly the same way. NOTHING has changed, there are still all these little clicks and bff pacts and what not that happen and unfortunately there isn't a whole lot we can do to stop it but I for one have always tried to teach both my girls RESPECT, KINDNESS, and to NEVER pick on or poke fun at others. The band Alabama released a song several years ago called Angles Among Us and if you listen to the song it talks about how there could at any point be angles around us. Well that got me to thinking you never know, that little girl you decide to pick on could be an angle God sent to test you. Will you pass the test? Words are a very hurtful and powerful thing, you don't know people life and or background. You don't know what happens to them at home and you also don't have the right to hurt people in any way. Freedom of speech doesn't give you a free pass to be mean but if that's the choice you make then it's you I feel sorry for. I had an amazing teacher in high school teach me a very valuable lesson and from that day on I knew I would never do to people what they did to me. The golden rule " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" words to live by. So ya see I wasn't the cutest but I was as far as I was concerned. But I don't think I turned out to bad.
