Whitney Houston - How Do I Know?
So, I never watch Dr. Phil.... but I did today because it's an episode about bullying. Currently researching a behavior modification change project about bullying, I figured I might get some good information. I'm pretty disgusted though. Instead of defining bullying, or making suggestions on how to stop the epidemic, they are basically saying - this kid is a was a victim and is now a bully, this kid is a bully - and his mom is too!, now look at this crazy woman. This woman bullies animals! They don't have any success stories.
How is that productive in any way, shape, or form? Whether or not the show had the best of intentions when it began, it now seems to be nothing more than shock value tv you see on Springer and Maury. Why are we giving people even the slightest glimpse of fame to spotlight their poor actions? Sure background is important, and every situation has to be looked at individually, but share these stories briefly and move on to making the change. He always tells the people he is going to help them, but really send them on their way after filming stops.
Anyway, that was really a huge digression.
I've got an internet class that's going on now.... eh. I can't concentrate worth a damn when I'm home. The local library across the street only has one study room and it can't be reserved for school. Anyway, I've been doodling and writing some stuff on the page opposite of my notes, and it has been helping clear my mind. While this is a standing monolith honoring my youth, I think it's time to build a new blog that explores less of my life and more of my heart. Realistically, this was created out of boredom. It is filled with the meaningless dribble of an emotional teenager. My emotional struggles are important and I still want to be able to come back to them, so I'm not deleting this page. I'll probably still post from time to time and share some opinions on life. In a somewhat restricted way, of course. :)
