Teaching kids to reach out and see others as equals,that's something our kids teachers either are afraid of addressing, or are not interested in.
I found out when I went to a child's psychiatric ward,that a girl I knew had stopped eating. Kids cruelty had taken their toll and she was taking out the despair on herself. Thanks for this message. Kids can be sooo cruel. :thumbup:



So can adults. Just look at how some people on OPP aproach other peoples concerns and problems

So glad to hear back from you. Have got some news just out about 0vomit's interim intentions. Am wondering if I should post it under My Topics or My Posts - What's the difference? So you're 74 yrs young - congratulations - I am 70 yrs young, and have told my kids since they were little "I'm gonna live to be 103!" LOL I recently said that to my oldest daughter and she kind of groaned - LOL I'm married and live in Florida. Cheers - MsAtta2d


There are a lot of us 70 year olds here. When I first started posting on OPP I couldn't figure out who was who. What worked for me was reading the first post on each thread. that gave me an idea what the mind set was for some or the regulars here. Managed to within a few weeks sort out some that weren't worth wasting time on, and a number that I follow regularly, adding to the conversation when I think I have something to add. Be sure to include the prayer threads since you are a Christian. Many of the friendliest people post on there frequently.

Parents
Let's sing the praises of the 'odd ducks' out there

By Jason F. Wright
Published November 07, 2014

You walk in the chapel Sunday and sit by yourself. Even if you’re near someone, you still feel alone. You look around at others smiling about their weeks and high-speed downloading the delicious details of their interesting lives.

Face it: You're an odd duck. And you’re often invisible, swimming in a sea of normal ducks.

Are you a teen? It’s even worse. You walk into school every day and, if you're lucky, someone will call you by your real name and ask to borrow a pen. But besides that exchange, on most days when you hear your name, it’s preceded by a nickname that flushes your face. It doesn’t help that nothing you own came from Hollister; your threads came from your brother two summers ago.

Every single day, every single one of us pass by those who feel completely out of place, so different from anyone around them and desperate to simply be recognized.

You just wish someone knew that your mother is dying, or that your parents have been fighting round-the-clock and you try not to hear them late at night, but it's difficult when the shouting is followed by another broken bowl. Or, perhaps, there’s no shouting because your parents hardly speak.

Sound familiar?

These ducks are all around us and they come in all ages, colors and sizes. Chances are at some point you’ve been an odd duck, too.

Last month while speaking at a school assembly, I took a moment before the students entered the large auditorium and placed a small rubber duck on a bench on the stage.

Midway through my presentation, while talking about something completely unrelated, I casually picked up the duck and dropped it into a box that held several other props.

Then, at the end of my remarks, I asked how many of the students had observed something unusual on the stage earlier in the program. Out of several hundred students, only a few hands popped up. A remarkable few had indeed noticed and been curious about the odd, lonely duck.

“I've been that duck,” I told them. “How many of you have ever felt invisible, too?”

Courageous hands everywhere slowly rose.

At different times in my life, I’ve been both the odd duck that almost no one sees and the person too preoccupied to notice.

When I was the about the age of my audience, my father died a week before the start of Christmas break. My mother gave me those cold days off to find smooth water before returning to my routine in January. Just before classes ended, she suggested I visit school and pick up some work to both keep my mind busy and to keep my grades from sinking.

I didn’t know how many students were aware my father had died, but I assumed word had circulated and that at least most of the kids in my grade had heard the rumors. I walked in a fog down the hallway, navigating my way to the teacher who’d gathered the assignments.

I’ll never forget it. I wore my father’s heavy wool overcoat and wondered if anyone would say anything to me, how I would respond, or if anyone would see me at all. Rounding a corner on the second floor, a girl I didn't know emerged from a pack of kids and put her hand on my shoulder: “Are you OK?"

They were probably the first three words she'd ever spoken to me. And though it was more than 20 years ago, I can visualize with Kodachrome clarity exactly how the exchange took place. I choked back tears, smiled at her and moved on.

I was the oddest of ducks that day, and she’d seen me. She’d lived the duck doctrine.

Every single day, every single one of us pass by those who feel completely out of place, so different from anyone around them and desperate to simply be recognized. In most cases, the ducks we encounter don't need trumpet tributes, red carpets or parades. And they don't need to be fawned over or treated as if they are projects-to-be-assembled like some paint-by-number craft.

They just need someone to see them, to look them in the eye and to call them by name. In many cases, that might be all they need to feel a little less like a duck, and a lot more like a swan.

It’s the duck doctrine, and take it from a perpetually odd duck, it works.


For some time the emphasis has been on stopping the bullying and h**eful activity against t*********r and homosexual kids, but it is so easy to forget that other kids get bullied too, and nasty comments are said behind their backs, and insults to their faces. There is a sixth grade girl locally who has been humiliated for a couple of years for her size. She is 6'4" at 12. Another girl stutters horribly and is humiliated daily for this speech problem. think of the 14 year old boy who is called "girlie" because he is only 5'1" tall. or the child with a major burn scar on his face. No attention is ever paid toward including them in the school activities, nor helping them make friends. These kids are out there, and they need your care and concern too. Teach your children and grandchildren to put as much, or more, emphasis on including them, as they do on the child with g****r confusion. In the long run, it will help everone.
Thank you.

Just as I started to look at the youtube, the power went off AGAIN got it back on now and I love the video. Thanks Brightened the morning up a little and it sure needed it. Bad news from one of the therapist that I know from the other coast was that one of the kids he was working with was returned to his parents last week and the young man k**led himself last night. Why do the authorities let these bastards have their kids back? The abuser was out on bond and ordered to stay away from his ex wife and the kids, but he didn't and the boy k**led himself rather than go on with the abuse. Will need a lot of these good news pieces this morning so please keep them coming

I have lived in France and also in Saudi and have visited a good portion of Europe, and ALL of the US except 6 States. Lived in a lot of the states also. How does one get started here? Should I post blogs - should I post under My Topics, or is "Newest Topics" the most popular and the most read? Thanks for the info re the site. It really helps.

If it is political just put it on Main, it will then start out as new topic and go from there. Chit Chat is for non political discussions and can be a lot of fun, plus a great way to learn about many of the regular posters on here.

Homosexuality has nothing to do with morality there have been homosexuals since there has been humans. It's a sexual preference not a question of morality. That stupid idea only became apparent with the rise of Christianity and preachers began preaching that it wad immoral.



Of course there have also been murders before the Jewish and Christian religions came into being. Many pagan societies sacrificed children on the alter, or like the Aztecs murdered hundreds of people at a time for their gods. The Greeks and Romans believed that men should have sex with boy children and their male s***es, so that was moral and right for those societies. The Jewish and Christian religions said that those behaviors were wrong, hence immoral . Just what do you think the concept of moral and immoral are but beliefs of a culture? In the pagan religions the spirits of the woods, fields, sun and moon among others demanded sacrifices to them to keep the tribe safe. Jews and Christians know that God gave them rules to live by, and laws about what is right and wrong. Cultural relativism, a cousin of moral relativism, says that all cultures and all behaviors are equally valid, whether they require beheading hundreds of people weekly, having sex with children, or eating the enemies after a battle. You apparently believe in cultural relativism, as well as moral relativism, anything you want to do is right and moral and no one has the right to condemn you for your behavior. Anarchy results from that belief.

I wonder what percentage of the left realizes that one of their prime objectives, as well as that of the gay agenda is the destruction of the family. Obviously, for the gay agenda, how else do they raise themselves up to the same level of normalcy and decency of the family unit other than to bring the family down. The attempted distruction of the family is pervasive everywhere. Remember in past generations, the character (integrity, wisdom and nobity) of the father as a role model in T.V. programs like Father Knows Best and Leave It To Bever Now since the l*****ts have taken over the educational system, the news media, popular culture and the entertainment industry, the father is nothing more than a stupid buffoon for the wife and the children to mock and make fun of. (Steve 700)

November 7, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield

The greatest threat to the totalitarian state is the family. In N**i Germany, in the Soviet Union and in the Islamic State, children were split apart from their families, subjected to ruthless indoctrination and taught to turn on their parents at the slightest hint of dissent.

In our more enlightened liberal society where the family is being displaced by the state, children are merely taught to view their parents as ignorant, r****t, sexist, h********c and outdated. The classroom and popular cultural inflate the self-esteem of the next generation by assuring them of their moral superiority to their parents and offering them independence from the authority and values of their parents in exchange for accepting the values and authority of the benevolent liberal state.

It’s a system that is less overtly cruel, but equally determined to replace the family unit with detached citizens cut off from being able to maintain and pass on a set of values opposed to those of the state.

The War on the Family ends with children, but begins by disrupting the relationships between men and women.

While liberalism’s War on Women meme and the sexism of Islamic law may seem like two opposites, they are actually mirror images of each other. Muslims teach men to h**e and fear women. Liberals teach women to h**e and fear men. Liberalism promotes paranoia about the intentions of men while Islam teaches men to be paranoid about the intentions of women.

Liberalism treats masculinity as a pathology. Islam treats femininity as the root of all evil. Both ideologies insist that one g****r and everything related to it is inherently tainted and that the only way to maintain a good society is to purge that g****r and everything it represents from the public square.

Liberalism and Islam both seek to create conditions of d******eness that make trust between the sexes impossible. Even when men and women do connect, both ideologies work to create power imbalances, social, religious and legal, that make family life inherently unstable. Their goal is to prevent the family from becoming the center of human life. Instead the family is t***sformed into an alien condition that can and does end at any moment by preying on the fears and weaknesses of its participants.

Islam drives women out of public spaces by encouraging predatory male behavior. Liberalism encourages predatory male behavior by disrupting the moral values that keep it in check and then profits from the chaos that it has caused by promoting paranoia about predatory male behavior.

The unspoken t***h of the War on Women is that the breakup of the family has made life more dangerous for women and men. It’s a statistical fact that crime rates increase for children from single parent households. Sixty percent of rapists grew up in single parent households. The real War on Women began with the War on the Family. That is also where it ends.

Unlike liberalism, Islam does not seek to eliminate the family, but to maintain its functionality at the purely mechanical level without allowing for healthy relationships. The members of the Islamic family are alienated from each other. The women learn to fear their husbands, fathers and brothers. The men know to distrust their mothers, sisters and daughters. A misstep can easily end in an honor k*****g.

Both g****rs view each other as dangerously unpredictable and predatory. Normal human relationships collapse under the weight of mutual distrust. The Muslim family is outwardly intact, but inwardly broken. Its members are united only by an even deeper suspicion and hostility toward the outside world. Muslim men know that women on the outside are even more immoral and untrustworthy than their female relations and Muslim women expect men outside the family to be even more dangerous.

The sex g***ming scandals in the UK are an interaction between two networks of broken families. On one side are Muslim men who have been taught that women are barely human. On the other side are the young casualties of a nanny state that k**led the family and replaced it with apathetic social workers and callous cops. The same phenomenon is taking place in Western cities across the world.

Islam destroys the family to create men with nothing to live for. The Muslim terrorist does not die for his family. The idea of dying to protect his wife and children has no emotional resonance for him. He can use women and children as human shields because they matter less than he does. It is his own honor that moves him far more than the lives of his family. K**l his children and he may forget. Humiliate him and he will never forgive. Promise him paradise and he will willingly die for a better world than this one.

The Muslim Jihadist does not submit to Allah. He submits to his own ego and k**ls in its name.

Liberalism however destroys the family to create helpless individuals looking for the next handout. The protégé of the nanny state is a coward. He is eager to join mobs, but does nothing as an individual. He creates nothing, and therefore has nothing to lose except his material possessions which he uses as gateways to the ‘fun’ that consumes his life. He is capable of violence, but only when he has numbers on his side. Family is a means of sharing resources, but not responsibilities. Like his children, it is disposable.

When families die, human beings begin reverting to a feral state. The inability to sustain family leads to the collapse of civilization. Liberalism and Islam both feed off the social failures that they manufacture.

The violent gangs of Jihadists that can pop up anywhere are symptoms of a society with large numbers of feral men. The rapists and k**lers of ISIS are animated by a profoundly different ideology, but behave similarly to gangs in Latin America and the United States. Islam and liberalism both produce large numbers of feral young men with no meaningful human relationships who derive their sense of identity from gang membership.

It is why Islam spreads so effectively in prison. The penal system is the ideal Islamic environment. It is a world without family and without choice where the only attribute is honor. It is also the inevitable consequence of liberalism. Liberalism k**ls the family producing young men destined for prison. Islam sweeps in to pick up the pieces and gives them purpose and meaning by turning them into k**lers.

Islam is a religion of the clan, not of the family. Liberalism organizes people along the lines of the group. Islam militarizes the clan into an expansionist force through conflict with other clans. Liberalism militarizes group identity into a struggle with every other group. Both promote conflict and isolation, uniting combatants through paranoia and h**e, while dividing them so that they cannot make peace.

Liberalism and Islam both perpetuate the crises that keep them going through dysfunction. They can only thrive by maintaining a constant supply of unhappy people who have lost the ability to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. The biggest threat to their empires and caliph**es of dysfunction is a strong family.

Here's the deal, your experience is anecdotal to the threads you post in. They educate and inform, even the existing users on here. They are valued by anyone who cares about child abuse and what some people have and are continuing to do to help victims of that.

If you were a godless liberal, certain people would applaud your effort and be glad to know somebody is fighting the good fight out there in real life! The problem is, most of the godless and nongod-fearing are the ones doing the abuse so, that is a rather moot point.

Keep giving us your views and anecdotes npp, the opinion of one arsehole doesn't make any difference at all!

Rock,

thanks for the encouragement. The subject of child abuse is a complicated one, and often requires personal commentary that isn't easy to do. There are several people on OPP from whom I expect h**e filled diatribes and I am sure that you know who I mean, but otherwise just not entering into the conversation seems like the more appropriate approach. I did find the comment from one of the activists calling a man a liar when he said he had been abused, way over the top on the h**e meter, and downright evil. When there can be a more civilized and understanding with Paul P, who is an outspoken activist for the L***Q cause than with someone who more or less understands the subject in the same context as you and I, I have to wonder whether I am expressing myself badly or in an insulting manner or what is the problem. Guess I cannot communicate with some people PERIOD.
God bless you for being one of the tolerant and understanding people who makes the time on OPP worth while.
