Kids Can Be Cruel

I am so sick of hearing it and I must admit I have used it myself,the excuse that (Kids Can Be Cruel). When it comes to telling our kids why other kids are mean to them.That's like us saying it is okay that they make fun of or bully someone.That we just have to work around it. Well it is in no way okay for these kids to be acting this way.Parents/Grandparents or who ever it maybe, need to step up and let their kids know,Just because your friends do something do not mean you need to join in.Nor do you need to feel that it okay to put someone down because they look/dress different then you. If you want respect you give respect and it starts at home, I can't wait until we no longer have to use that line  (Kids Can Be Cruel ) When explaining the actions of another child to them. So I am going to keep re posting this and tweeting and blogging this until we start changing things.
