Where liberal parenting goes wrong....Mom defends son bullied over liking "My Little Pony"

[RadaMillz]

I got bullied as a kid, the best thing to ever happen to me was getting jumped. I remember thinking this is not so bad and after it was over, I become a good fighter myself, even got so much respect. In middle school, I fought the toughest kids my first year and people knew me by name while I had no idea who they were til 8th grade.

Point is, teach ur kid how to fight (defend himself) but make sure he does not become a bully.

Bro, but it isn't just "a TV show" to his age group. This is where social awareness comes into play. To his immature age group him watching such a show means he is a puccy, it's that simple. The kid honestly seems to be too soft. I know in your liberal fantasy world that such a thing shouldn't exist, but just as you can say someone is being too hard, the opposite can also be true. Indeed, someone can be too soft. Someone needs to toughen that boy up it seems.

Please: If this kid was some ron paul quoting fruitloop, and he was being bullied because of it you guys would be trying to throw these kids in prison, and organizing "freedom" parades to support the liberty of young children. This thread is all about GROWN men attacking the mother and victim of bullying.

Literally nothing in the article suggests that it's the only cartoon he watches or that his mother makes him watch it. It's all speculation on your part.

I'm not the one emotional in his post. The problem is the article doesn't explain anything but "MLP" and the boy's liking.

I don't see how this is a liberal/conservative issue, the mom just doesn't want her kid to be bullied. As far as him liking My Little Pony...seems a bit lame for a boy to watch it, but it's not that serious...I mean it's just a TV show. Probably best to keep that to himself (because kids are cruel and adults aren't always around) but whatever.

I'm a grown ass man and I like comic books/anime/videogames so I can't really tell anybody else what to like.

Telling people to get over it and toughen up is actually the wrong way to combat bullying.

I disagree, and telling someone to get over it is a gross simplification of what I'm saying.

What is the problem with liking a tv show? It's a tv show. We're not talking about wearing a dress to school, we're talking about a tv show. Middle schoolers and high schoolers watching My Little Pony or Sesame Street... Grown men watching wrestling and reading comic books, who cares?

lol, you know what fukk this. I'm about to start indenting the fukk outta my paragraphs cuz yall ain't reading what I'm saying. I'ma put em in neat bullets and be done with it.

- Kid has a right to watch whatever show.

- However, kids will also express their opinions as it is their right to on this subject, unfortunately they did so by bullying.

- Moreover, a show like "My Little Pony" may not be appropriate for an 11 year old boy in my opinion. I wouldn't raise my son to conduct himself in such a bytch ass fashion.

- No one said the kid should stop watching the show. If he wants to watch "My Little Pony" at 11 years old more power to him. But he also has to come to grips with reality, at his age people will clown him for that type of shyt. So his parents should either learn about good mechanisms and behaviors to teach to the child so he can cope with this, teach their child discretion or even full acceptance of who he is, if he has behavioral or emotional problems he should go to therapy or special education to get the help he needs. Personally, I think he needs help.

- No one is saying he should just get over it, or stop watching a TV show, but rather that you need to adapt to the reality of your situation instead of offing yourself over something so petty.

- No one is saying he should change himself to become some big brutish bully himself, but kids like this need to learn how to stand up for themselves. As a parent you're doing your child a disservice to not instill at least a little bit of strength within them. Teach them to accept themselves, then either to adjust to situations or defend themselves. Notice i'm repeating earlier points because I don't want them to be avoided like they have been so far.

- Perhaps this is nothing more than a phase, maybe he's a late bloomer, the only thing that matters is this 11 year old boy shouldn't be so weak that he wants to kill himself over kids making fun of his watching My Little Pony. Coddling that shyt is a good way to sell him short, I suppose I was lucky to have the type of parents that would defend you in public but in private let you know you fukkin up too. I have no clue on the situation of this kid, but he needs his parents to not coddle that shyt especially mothers.

Just making sure. To me the issue isn't the TV shw but more how the child is being handled. I feel bad for him, I mean he could even watch My Little Pony but have it in him to take no shyt over it. No matter how weak or helpless somebody may seem, they have it in them to overcome that and that's the issue to me. My own personal opinions about My Little Pony aside, him wanting to kill himself over that situation is the more pressing matter and I think gettin mad at the bullying missing a more important situation in the suicidal shyt.

The bullying is tied into his suicide attempt though, you can't really talk about the latter without the former.

I'll put it this way. All of us at one point or another has had an embarresing situation before. Maybe got clowned for a little while over it too, but their first idea more often than not isn't to kill themselves. The ones that allow that shyt to take them to such depths have deeper problems than just getting bullied. Bullys will always be around, before and after school, so are you suppose to teach a child to be in a bubble world or teach them how to deal with the real world?

This hoe ass kid must be an embarrassment to his father.

*lets try again babe, this one is a lost cause*

You teach kids the effects of bullying in order to lower the prevalence as well as what to do in cases where they're being bullied? It's not an either/or thing, man.

You can do that too, that's fine. But me personally, I feel its more important to help the victim find ways to cope better so he won't think to kill himself in situations like that. I think that's something not to ignore.
