Can you believe that video??? They were beating up their supposed friend to post on you tube!
Now they are worried about not going to the beach for spring break and missing cheerleading practice(right), not the girl they beat up together. What big spoiled brat criminals! I hope they sit their butts in jail for at least a year. Parents should teach their kids better. They are probably big bullies themselves so how can you expect the kids to know any better? No morals....:cry:

I think that our children learn most from how we model in front of them. Most families seem to chase the almighty dollar and fail to instill in their children character and integrity.

We don't want to admit it sometimes but our children act like they see us act behind closed doors.

I guess you could say most people have two images they display to certain people. One image we display to the public and the other we display to our family.

When a child does something horrible we go into circling the wagons and worry about consequences to their actions latter. We try to circumvent that natural process for them to learn. It may start early in grade school when they didn't do their science project and the night before the entire family is helping them so they don't get a bad grade.

Then slowly the child believes that mom and dad can bail them out of anything and there is no consequence to their actions. Then something like this happens and the parent just can't understand where they went wrong.

Parents, let your children learn when there young and when they get older they will know better than to do something like this.

But what do I know?:wave:

Sadly it does. I taught school for 12 years and coached junior high sports.

The thing is bully kids usually have bully parents so its a vicious cycle and when those girls have kids it will continue. :sosad:

There are always exceptions where parents do all they can and the child is just a bed seed, but that is the exception.

For any parents with teens, this is a good site. I would also recommend the book.
