Reflections on bullying

Mineral Wells Index

By Sue Seibert | sue_seibert@att.net

I noticed in the paper that there is a new stateside policy, or law, on anti-bullying in the schools. I must say, I am always surprised at the legislation our lawmakers come up with.

Questions: Were there bullies in school when you were there? Were there bullies in school when your parents went? Of course, and there are bullies in life and no amount of legislation is going to change the nature of some human beings!

However, we can do some things that will make a difference. First of all, we can teach our children to take it on the chin. I remember having to do that and, sure, sometimes it really hurts. But, hey, that’s part of life, of growing up, of being successful.

    That phrase was made into a graphic on Facebook by someone who was as tired as I am of the lack of proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and the use of language in general.

  • Reflections on Keeping a Diary

    Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.

  • Reflections on Patience

    I had a person whom I don’t know well at all tell me what an impatient person I am. My goodness, I didn’t realize it showed so much to those who do not know me very well; but, of course, she is right. I am. They say patience is a virtue. It is, but, sadly, it isn’t one of mine.
