It started last night.
I was on Twitter when, around 11:00 PM, things started turning somber. One hour to midnight, and the collective thoughts of the Twitterverse turned towards our national pain. It was like hearing the voices of people in support group, each one crying out from our haunted past.
I was visiting my in-laws...
I was on active duty in North Carolina...
I was at home from work, sick...
I was waiting for my husband's flight to land...
I was pregnant...
I was frightened...
I was shocked...
I was...
I was twenty-four, barely married, sitting behind a desk that was way to big for me, symbolic of the position and responsibility I held at the time. I had the radio in my office on and the sudden break in programming - "The World Trade Center buildings have been hit!" - made long-forgotten pages in my history books suddenly spark with life.
Panic. Fear. Armageddon. Planes were crashing from the sky and into buildings. Planes were falling from the sky into fields. How many planes were compromised? Were our skies littered with flying missles under enemy control? Who was responsible? Why would they do this?
How many would die?
For a nation with a penchant for taking certain days and making them memorials, the sad irony of September 11th becoming a memorial against our will was powerful.
We watched the news footage, only it seemed like something from a movie, except that it happened in real life. We learned, truly learned, that there are people who despise us - not just in some figurative sense, but literally, enough so that they would willingly strap themselves inside a plane and kill innocents who were guilty of nothing more than drinking coffee and being one of us. We saw heroes run into the mouth of damnation - into the mouth of Hell - to save whom they could. Many of them perished.
Their names, along with the names of those who could not be saved, are now carved into stone, set into the ground upon which they died.
Set into the hearts of their countrymen.
My friend, Kevin Bachman, posted something on Facebook this morning that made me nod my head and tear up. It rang so true to me, because of all the things that arose out of 9/11, the most amazing thing was our national strength, our bond.
Kevin says it better:
It's not the day itself I choose to remember but that brief window of time that followed it. Before war and division of opinion. The small time of unity when we were 'The People.' Together. Because we grow stronger when we have to. Because the American spirit defends and helps its brothers when they are too weak. And if there is one thing to never forget, it isn't the tragedy of our buildings crumbling at our feet, but the resolve we carry within us to lock arms and rebuild.
Of all the national holidays, today is the one with the most resonance. Unlike Hanoi, or Pearl Harbor, or Gettysburg, or Lexington, we saw this not through the eyes of history, but through the lens of a camera in real time. And so today is personal. It's painful. It's fresh. We cannot look at our lives today without seeing the residue from those collapsed towers. The cloud of dust that swallowed Manhattan as the Towers fell has left a subtle film all over our airports, technology and politics today.
Normally, we celebrate history as being just that - history. But today our history is our present, reminding us that we might be a city on a hill, but we are not above the turmoil of this Earth.
It is the beauty of our country and our people that when we fall, we rise.
And we will continue, rising.

I was working a swing shift those days, and was sleeping in because it was a "day" off. I was awakened from sleep because someone had heard that a plane had hit the WTC, and what in the world is going on?
I thought she meant some private 2-seater propeller plane. Not a jumbo jet.
I turned on the TV and was watching smoke come out the side of one of the towers as the commentators contemplated whether the latest Spider Man movie release would be delayed because of its theme of terrorism in the big city. As they talked, a full two minutes after I turned the TV on (the view never changed the whole time), I saw a jumbo jet scream into the side of the second tower, and the commentators never paused. I assumed I was seeing leaked footage from the new film.
I didn't find out until later that I had just seen United Airlines Flight 175 strike the South Tower on live television.
The commentators didn't react for several seconds, maybe 20 or 30. Then, as though they had been tapped on the shoulder and told to look out the window, they began reacting: "What? Another one? It can't be... Ladies & Gentlemen, I'm being told that a second airliner has just struck the World Trade Center... a second passenger aircraft has hit the Twin Towers... It appears to be the South Tower that's been hit this time... Unbelievable... I just can't believe it."
Who could?

I'll never forget. I had just gotten home from working the night shift at DeKalb PD. I was on the computer checking my emails. My wife was in the bedroom getting ready for work with the TV on when she called me to hurry in & see. As soon as I saw that a plane had hit the tower I knew in an instant it was no accident. Having been a student pilot I KNEW that a plane that big doesn't just happen to hit a building like that. Then t 2nd plane hit & confirmed what I was telling my wife. We were under attack. As the story unfolded I remember that I couldn't get to sleep because I was afraid to turn the TV off. I went back to work that night to find coworkers in tears. Several were from the NYC area & had family still there. There was an armed SWAT unit on each floor of the building & at the doors. The bullet proof shades were drawn on our windows in the Comm Center so as not to be a target. Nobody knew what was coming next. Whether the attacks were over or not. From that point on our lives have changed. Air travel will never be the same. I think the only good that did come out of it was a new found patriotism & respect for our military & public safety. To say that's "good" is somewhat of a misnomer. NOTHING good comes from senseless murder & destruction. But we have to find good in all we do. Otherwise they win, and I'll be darned if I'll let THAT happen ! Stay strong America. Stay safe people of this great land. Thank you Military & Public Safety. God Bless America !

David, today I looked up into the air and an airplane flew over. I remember the deadly silence on the day of NO air noise at all. I remember feeling cold. That day will be etched in my mind. We've been attacked. We should never, ever let our guard down. But today, seeing the planes in flight gave me hope that everytime we fly, we're saying to our enemies who watch, "We'll never give up!"

After flying and filming Eric Dufour on a pylon-based cloverleafs, I'm even more stoked about competing with them. It's just a cool visual that makes the flying more about flying and less about finding sticks. You still have find the center but that's pretty easy given that it's in the middle. One fact has become clear is that the only way to be truly competitive in these competitions is to have a reflex wing. Preferably in a fairly small size for your weight.
April 19: Paratoys may be having a competition in Northern, CA that counts towards USPPA national standings in April. They're working out the details to see if that's gonna happen. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Here are the details.
May 07: John Black is having a pylon race at Beach Blast 2012 and I'll be competing, hopefully flying an 18 meter reflex wing. Ryan Shaw will be the guy to beat after seeing how well he did at Paratoys. This event, being on the beach, will likely have more spectators than anything we've had to date so it's a great opportunity to showcase our sport.
Course layout will likely change as they work out logistics so don't practice any specific layout, rather work on technique. Practice getting into out of turns accurately. To be competitive, you'll need to use speedbar but don't go past your ability. Crashing is worth zero points. Better to complete the course withOUT speedbar than to crash because you used it improperly. For example, applying speedbar after the wing has come forward and unloads, increases the chances of a collapse. Rather apply it as you start to climb when coming out of the bank.
May 25: Endless Footdrag and Competition. This is a great opportunity to earn USPPA ratings, learn about competition, and put your skills to work. Ryan Shaw, the currently #1 ranked US pilot will be there and I will also be competing. Dave Fore is running this one. They're planning either a Cloverleaf or Japanese Slalom as the main event. This is a USPPA event that counts towards your national standing.
June 14: Quincy Clinic & Competition. Jeff Steinkamp and Michael Mixer are putting this one with blessings from the City. We'll have pylons set up for the Cloverleaf and I will be offering a clinic that covers advanced flying topics and competition techniques. It will only be run if there is a minimum number of pilots and refunds will be given if it is not run due to insufficient registrations. I will also be competing in this event that counts towards your national standing.
Thanks to those who have signed up but we need more! Can you help?
We're further streamlining the process so that it takes even less time to accomplish. One note: for all the documents that apply to Microlights (which includes paramotors), click on "Sporting Code Section 10: Microlights" then select the desired document. This is the best place to look because it is the official source (FAI) and it has all the rules annexes (like Annex 6 on GPS's).
The knowledge, along with a test, has been summarized in this document from United States Ultralight Association (USUA). Once you get your observer rating, it's good for life although you must review the current rules before actually acting as an observer for a record attempt.
Here is the process for becoming an observer:
David Rogers is another great resource for those who want to either an become observer or try for a world record.
The next competition is at Paratoys, Feb10 & 11, 2012 (Friday and Saturday AM). It will be a 1/4 mile south of the normal launch field so that fly-in operations can continue with pilots staying away from the competition area. That was Mike Robinson's solution to avoid closing the field. We appreciate his willingness to clear another area.
We're going to run it in the new style that is more fun for pilots, news media, and spectators. Each task will involve a scored launch, precision task, and spot landing. The pilot immediately walks over to the launch deck and prepares to launch for the next task. So there are lots more launches and landings. It's more fun to watch, requires fewer judges, is more discriminating because there are more tasks (each time a pilot flies he does two or three scored tasks), and requires MUCH less land area.
We'll hopefully be doing the new Japanese Slalom which should keep the action closer to the spectators while reducing risk. Go here to see the change -- we're calling it the American Slalom.
Here is a video of the standard Japanese Slalom. The primary difference is that, instead of turning AWAY from stick 4, you turn towards it.
Sign up at USPPA.org soon!
Sign up now for the Beach Blast comp, there's under two weeks. The registration is up at USPPA.org and, as of this writing, there's under two weeks. The competition is going to be held at a nice sized park near the main beach flying site but competitors will have this field completely to themselves.
Right now, nearly anyone who can launch a paramotor could set a U.S. record that is recognized nationally by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) which is the U.S. body for handling such things. A higher level pilot could easily set an international record as recognized by the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale). First, though, we need to get observers. See Setting PPG Records.
FAI oversees NAA which oversees USUA for the purpose of records.
And when we do field a competition it doesn't include the cross country tasks that make up 30% of FAI events. Mostly that's because our latest competitions have been very brief and in conjunction with large fly-ins. Up until 2011, our largest participation was 15 pilots the 2003 Parastars. Then in 2011 we had a surge of interest with 24 pilots participating in the Feb Salton Sea Paratoys competition. That was fun!

Man Charged in Shafer Road Burglary Arrested in Ross
Brian Flesher is accused of committing a string of local burglaries, including one in Moon Township.
Ross Township police have charged Brian James Flesher, 26, and Garrett William Lucas, 24, both of Pittsburgh, in three separate burglaries late last year. Flesher, who is on parole in connection to a Lawrence County burglary, has been charged with committing a string of Pittsburgh-area burglaries, including one on Shafer Road in Moon Township. Moon Township Police said a woman and her 13-year-old daughter on December 5 arrived to their township home and saw Flesher's car parked in their driveway. Flesher ran from the house carrying a jewelry box and drove off in the car, according to a criminal complaint. Police caught Flesher later that day in Pittsburgh with the help of the teen, who snapped a photo of the man's car. He has since been …

Gun industry delights in election year ammo sales
6/20/2012Ammunition sales are going gangbusters in 2012, with bullet manufacturer Olin Corp. reporting a 13 percent increase in civilian sales this year so far. Ditto the guns that fire those bullets -- background checks for immediate firearm transactions have increased 22 months in a row. Reports say the election year boom has led to gun industry "insiders" calling President Obama "salesman of the year" because gun sales also shot up after he was elected. Supposedly the prospect of tougher gun laws has led to folks stocking up on guns and ammo in both cases. Recent sales of semiautomatic assault rifles have been especially strong because people apparently fear Obama would have no reason not to ban them in a second term.
Do you think the ammo boom is because it's election year?

Putting a video on your website – Part 3 of 3
Welcome back. In Part 1 of this series, the process of creating and activating a free YouTube.com account was discussed. Part 2 covered uploading a video from your computer to your YouTube account. Today, we detail the steps for adding your video to your WebSpawner website.
Open your web browser and go to http://www.youtube.com/, and log in with your selected User Name and Password. Near the top of the window, you will see a light blue bar labeled "My: Videos – Favorites – Playlists – Inbox"… click the 'Videos' link.
A list will appear of all videos in your account. Click the 'Edit Video Info' button under the video which you wish to add to your website. When the screen refreshes, scroll down past the 'Video Details' and 'Date & Location Details' sections to the 'Sharing' section. Near the bottom, look for the 'Embed HTML' box. The box will contain code similar to the following:
<object width="425″ height="350″><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oas_T4adSgY"></param><embed xsrc="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oas_T4adSgY" mce_src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oas_T4adSgY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600″ height="350″></embed></object>
Click inside the box, and select all of the HTML code within the box (use Control-A on Windows computers or Command-A on Macs), then copy that code (Control-C on Windows, or Command-C on Macs).
Open a new browser window (keep the YouTube window open in case you need it again) and log in to your WebSpawner account at http://www.webspawner.com/ with your Account Name and Password. Under Step 1 select the web page to which you would like to add your video and click the 'Modify' button under Step 2… or, if you have an Enhanced WebSpawner account, you can click the 'Create' button under Step 2 to add a new page to your website.
Scroll down through the Modification or Creation form to the 'Body Text' step and click inside the Body Text box, then paste (Control-V on Windows, or Command-V on Mac) the copied HTML code for your YouTube video. Complete the Modification process by clicking 'Continue' at the bottom of the form, and then click 'I Like It' at the page preview to save and publish your changes. After completing these steps, your website will display your embedded video file, just as our example video appears here:

In Defense Of Credit Card Affiliate Links
The original point of my blog was to say things that were on my mind. Only later, after I started writing professionally for several outlets, did I have a place to express my thoughts on a range of subjects.
But lately, I have been reading and engaging in some debates online about travel blogs and credit card affiliate links. For those who are not aware, many blogs have links to credit card applications, and these sites receives a commission when the applicant is approved. In fact, affiliate links are available a wide variety of products. For example, I occasionally use affiliate links from Amazon on my Go Tubeless blog about bicycle tires (Which is the best bicycle tire blog on the Internet!). I have been so successful with this blog that over the past three years, I have earned several dollars. And while I haven't totaled up my vast wealth, I estimate it is enough to pay for a decent dinner, but not enough to purchase a fancy bicycle tire.
Anyways let's take a look at the pros and cons of affiliate links:
- The blogger makes money which can even allow him or her to make a living.
- That blogger may hire editors, writer (like me), and others who make money and earn a living.
- The blog can offer valuable content to readers at no cost.
- As advertising goes, affiliate links are about the most efficient and unobtrusive form their is.
- A site may be tempted to alter its content in order to push more links.
Having researched and written thousands of articles on the subject, I consider myself an expert on credit cards and travel. Also, I am fully aware that most of my income as a writer comes indirectly from affiliate links. But, other than my Amazon links to bicycle tires, I do not directly receive any commissions based on my work.Therefore, my writing is inherently uncorrupted by these links, at least until my editors get at it.But even when my editors do add links, it doesn't bother me. It is their blog, their business, and they are my clients.So long as they don't do anything immoral, unethical, hurtful, or illegal, I expect them to maximize the profits of their business, just like any other for-profit enterprise.
But of course, any broadcast television show that I watch is constantly interrupted by commercials, which are far more intrusive than that hyperlinks.In fact, I can't even watch a movie that is broadcast with commercials without using some sort of commercial skipping device. If web authors got upset about hyperlinks, god forbid a television actor would see his or her show broadcast with commercials!
As for those blogs who tailor their content to push links, they are easy to spot. They offer poor advice and are constantly pushing inferior products. If you feel a blog is doing this, my advice is to simply stop reading them rather than go on a crusade. There are far worse things in this world worth spending your time crusading against.
Where the critics stand
What is really getting old is the whole backlash against bloggers going on out there on Flyertalk and elsewhere. Some people continue to make their tired anti-link arguments over and over and over again. Naively, I have tried raise the level of the debate by shedding light on this industry, using my perspective as full time, freelance writer for online outlets, such as with this guest post. But at this point, there are some who display such bitterness and incivility, that they appear to be fanatics engaging in a political conflict rather than a discussion of Internet advertising techniques.
These fanatics need to get over it. Affiliate links are not going away, and the people who make a living producing content are not going to give up and move on because of a few detractors. Ask yourself: Would you abandon your career because someone somewhere on the Internet objected? Besides, these detractors don't seem to realize that more they make the same point over and over again, the less people are listening.
But what also irks me are those who rate blog posts solely on the presence or absence of affiliate links.I welcome constructive criticism, lively debates, and different points of view. Yet I could offer original, invaluable content that shows my readers how to travel for free, but all I will hear from this peanut gallery is complaints about the existence of links . In fact, I believe that I have uncovered the secret to unlimited free travel with points and miles and written about it. Well, almost all of it! There are also those who have complained about my content being too valuable and disclosing too many secrets, but that is another matter.
There are tens of thousands of people out there who blog about where they went and what they did on their vacations, without including affiliate links, or showing you how to travel for free.
Those who hate affiliate links should probably just be reading those blogs.

Star MegaDo 4
We interrupt my hectic schedule of freelance blogging to bring you this special announcement. I was excited to be a part of the Star MegaDo4 a couple of weeks ago.
If you don't know what that is, watch the following video. I was sitting next to the host on the flights, and you can see me giving the thumbs up at 1:55 when he falls asleep slumped forward in his chair!
Yet another reason never to travel with a film crew!

New Outlets
Since FinCon12, I have enjoyed several new opportunities within the personal finance blogosphere. I am very proud to have joined the staff of Credit.com as a contributor to their blog. As a major outlet, they are able to market my stories to mainstream publications. For example, this piece How to Maximize Your Credit Card Rewards at Restaurants is featured on the website of CBS News.
Another site that I have joined is the Credit Solution Program as a contributor to their blog.
Finally, I had the chance to meet up with Ben Edwards of Money Smart Life. My work will soon appear on his site as well.
So stay tuned, things are happening on Steele Street!

Gearing up for FinCon 2012
I am super excited to be a part of the Financial Bloggers Conference, AKA FinCon 2012 , later this week here in Denver. Let's just say that I have been all over the whole FinCon event since I heard about it, but missed the conference last year. I have been hosting FinCon Local events and I am scheduled to lead a tour, host a panel discussion, and make a presentation.
I will also be attending the USAA and BankRate happy hours as well as any other events where I can meet more colleagues. So if you are going to be at FinCon, feel free to stop by one of these events and introduce yourself. After all, that's what these conferences are all about!

6 Components of RtI - Positive School Climate and Culture
Why: The core principles of a multi-tiered RtI model support and embrace positive school climate within all school settings. Positive school climate depends on four essential elements: 1) creating a caring school community; 2) teaching appropriate behavior and social problem-solving skills; 3) implementing positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS); and 4) providing rigorous academic instruction. Essentially, a positive school climate provides the foundation on which instruction will occur and all students will be engaged in learning.
Positive School Climate and Culture Across the Tiers: A positive school climate is observed when key elements are solidly in place. These include:
- Defining and consistently teaching expectations of behavior for students, parents and educators;
- Students and adults are acknowledged and recognized consistently for appropriate behaviors;
- Behavioral and instructional errors are monitored,
corrected, or re-taught;
Teachers are engaged in a collaborative team problem-solving process using data to design instruction and behavior intervention plans - Families are included in a culturally-sensitive, solution-focused approach to support student learning.
Understanding the elements of a positive school climate is vital; however, equally important in maintaining a positive school climate is the development of systems to support school personnel in implementing the identified research-based practices to improve student outcomes. Naturally, the identified practices to support student achievement and social competence are dependent on a clear understanding of the information and data available to decision makers. The school staff needs to understand what data to collect, how frequently to use them, and the purpose for collecting data. CDE has taken a leading role in the implementation of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Initiative currently being put into practice in 563 Colorado Public Schools. PBIS is an integrated approach that clearly identifies systems, practices and the use of data to improve student outcomes. It is a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students. PBIS is consistent with RtI.

I agree that jail has plenty of issues (certainly it does in the US, anyway) and doesn't entirely cure the problem, but neither will any other single measure you propose. Our only option is to combine techniques, preferably targeted appropriately to the seriousness of the offense. Policies and rules are one way to try to make things fair (because everyone can see the rules for themselves), rather than letting justice become arbitrary, anecdotal, incomplete, and inconsistent.
The dark side of open source conferences

Saying that, peer pressure is no certain method to actually change peoples attitude either...
And changing the attitude might be the single most difficult thing in history, otherwise this wouldn't be an issue in countries with healthy values (I know, it's very subjective). Obviously I have no simple solution to this problem and didn't mean to suggest that such a thing exists.
Anything and everything that helps is welcomed by me!

Hi challengers,
Just a quick question. I am well on module 5, my blog is up and running, have analytics set up and so on... So, my question is: If I change my WPD blog theme to a different one, would that mess up anything I did so far? As far as the challenge process... (analytics, rank tracker, traffic-bug, posts).
Also, can I choose one theme out of the "recommended" session?

Not done. Maybe never will be done.
definitely panic if there's caviar
I had a lot of trouble with the hand. The original sprite has her holding a stick of chalk, which obstructs her ring finger. (or whatever the second finger from the right is called) So, I had to improvise for her one finger. After many failed attempts, I decided that was the very best I could do, and just stuck with it. Granted, it's still pretty awkward, but it was much better than my previous attempts. And besides that, if you look at it the correct way, it can actually look somewhat like a stable hand of some sort.
ha ha what's all this old crap Past Me put in his signature, get that stuff outta there
Oh dear lord.
(Weeaboo, don't forget reasons!)
I'm nominating it as well. An excellent call back that could totally make sense in canon.

Growing up, I always had friends but I also had those that made fun of me. I can't imagine not having any friends and being bullied like some cases I have seen. I remember moments in the girl's locker room where I was made fun of. I was never one of those that blossomed in middle school or early high school like some girls did. And I definitely didn't go against what I was taught and do some of things that the girls in the cool crowd did either. Therefore, kids found those to be good reasons to ridicule me. To say the least, it was not fun but I was able to overcome it.
Though I was blessed to come out of it okay, it's the others I think about often that didn't. In most cases, while being bullied, children feel as if their life is in hell and will give anything just to have even a moment out of it. Realize that though bullying hours could last the duration of school time, it also continues emotionally when the child gets home. Therefore, in a child's mind, oftentimes the only way out is to leave this world completely. But there is no turning back from that and the kids who cause this outcome don't care. For some, they actually get pleasure out of this and maybe even a greater pleasure than they had while bullying their peer.
Some people would agree that bullying comes from how there are being parented and their home life. Let's face it, children growing up in hostile environments is increasing yearly. They could be either witnessing abuse in the home or enduring it, so they learn to project that pain onto someone else. It also becomes normal and viewed positively in a child's mind. They could also have parents that allow them to run the household; therefore, they then feel privileged to act this way in surroundings outside of the household as well. But then, maybe it's not the household, it could be the influence from other kids. The only way to not be bullied by kids in the "cool crowd" is to be one. It's like the mean girls theory. However, with this theory there is always a ring leader. Ring leaders could have these common issues mentioned, but let's look at some less obvious reasons kids bully other kids.
We seldom think of the psychological reasons that cause also cause this. Do we? Well, we should. Once we start finding out what is really going on in the brain or even the body then we might be able to solve some of the issues. We can't just chuck this up to kids being kids like some people do. These kids grow up to be adults and sometimes get worse. I was watching the E! Story on bullying and a doctor mentioned some of these children having "pleasure chemicals" that prompts them to do this. These chemicals are released when they hit on or make fun of another child thus creating some sort of satisfaction. This alerted me that some of these kids probably have disorders which I then felt needed to be researched further.
The "pleasure chemicals" he was referring to was actually more so an increase of certain hormone that causes aggression. After weeks of researching this, I found that most articles lean more toward explaining why kids are able to be bullied, not why kids bully other kids medically or psychologically. I think that is important to discuss as well, so when I heard the doctor say "Children that bully have pleasure chemicals." I had to take the time to read every article there was to find out more. Finally, I found an article that learned toward both but gave me some information as to why kids bully with more of an explanation than it's simply the child's environment. I wholeheartedly believe that is not always the case especially when you see other siblings in the house not aggressive. What could be the issue is that there is an increase of cortisol in the child's brain. That is the closest I have found to the "pleasure chemical. Thanks to Dr. Yvon Delville's research he goes more in depth about the hormone cortisol @ http://www.utexas.edu/features/archive/2002/bully.html.
In my research, I have come to the conclusion that we don't think dynamically enough on this issue. We have to consider child bullies as victims too, whether they live in a hostile environment or if they have a mental or medical illness causing this, though children that are bullied happen to be the obvious victim. It is important to find out what is going on with bullies to be able to stop this type of behavior as adults. This type of behavior, if not approached, can escalate to something worse as years progress. That is why I plan to do a second part of this article and research more deeply about this. I'd like to discuss levels of Autism that also can create bullying behavior as well. I hope that this prompts more active (outside the box) thinking on this subject. With that said your viewpoints, professional opinions or stories below are very much welcomed.

Great information on host. I was wondering where I will host.
My nightmare with bullying began in 6th grade. I decided to dress as Olivia Newton John at the end of Grease. Ya know, that hot outfit with the tight black pants, top and high heels. I just loved that freggin movie. Well, the kids thought I was trying to dress up like a hooker and from that point forward I was labeled a "slut." Even though I had never done anything but kissed a boy at that point.
As a result, the kids starting being mean to me and my best friend left me because I wasn't considered cool enough to hang around anymore.
Once I reached middle school it got even worse. I had nasty messages put on my locker, gum stuck in my hair, booted from the back of the bus where only the cool kids sat and humiliated in front of a large group of people by some of the more popular kids in school. I was even threatened to get my ass kicked by a girl that I didn't even know for no reason at all.
At 40 years old, I'm only now starting to make peace with that time. But the scars from the shame and embarassment run deep.
Aside from the outfit that sparked it all, I always stood out as being different and therefore labeled "weird." I have ADHD and it's very common for those of us struggling with the disorder are singled out for our weirdness. Because we think different and many times act different.
The older I get the more I learn to embrace my weirdness and love myself more for it. But now I'm seeing kids have the same ideas about my daughter who I also believed has ADHD. Aside from that she has red hair which singles her out even more as being different. I was appauled when I heard of kick a ginger day. Ginger referring to red heads.
I only hope that since bullying is at the forefront of the media attention that we can put an end to this so we can all leave in peace as our God given right.
A powerful share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he actually purchased me breakfast as a result of I discovered it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to debate this, I really feel strongly about it and love studying extra on this topic. If doable, as you turn into experience, would you mind updating your weblog with more particulars? It's extremely useful for me. Huge thumb up for this weblog submit!
Good Topic, I wasn't bullied by getting hit on or anything like that but I received many demeaning remarks. Mainly about how skinny I was, seems as if we all have had our fair share of abuse from peers at some point in our young lives. This affects us whether we want to admit it or not, one of the main questions I asked my clients on a weekly basis is (based on a individualized Brain map)"do you believe you have problem with over reaction or over activation probably stemming from infringement trauma during your childhood"? For most its clearly a yes and for others they have to think about it (mainly because they interpret trauma as something physical).
Trauma can be broken down into two categories, hard or soft. A hard trauma would be something like a car accident , fall, assault, rape etc. Soft is more about , regular demeaning remarks, constant bullying, separation abandonment etc. So being bullied is traumatizing whether is physical or verbal, your brain will react to what it believe is a threat, by the way this is a automatic response. One of the brains main functions is to keep us alive and remain safe and it will do it without your conscious participation, this is called the autonomic nervous system.
When we're faced with threats our brain will do one of three things Fight/Flight or Freeze, guess what state the bully normally is in and what state the bullied is in. So if you guessed right you would have said the bully is in a fight or flight mode and the bullied is in freeze state. Soldiers who come back from war have a severe imbalance and are stuck in the fight/ flight mode and based on the data we have seen from a correctional facility inmates are stuck in the freeze state. People who are stuck in the freeze state feel numb, emotionally cut off from people/God and they are dissociated. Thats why for them killing someone is not a big deal because of the disassociation ,I.E columbine.
So bullies are stuck in a fight or flight mode which is like having there foot on the gas , they are always seeking out drama to reinforce the pattern and the bullied tend to go into freeze state, which is like having the foot on the break of a car. So all in all its a never ending cycle of unbalanced brain patterns based on trauma. To validate everything I said you can look up the work of Peter Levine, Dr. David Berceli, Dr. Robert Scaer and Lee Gerdes. Here is a graph showing what the unbalanced brain pattern looks like for someone who is stuck in Freeze, the side comparison is a balanced brain(which is mine) now atleast lol. http://tinyurl.com/3kskjbh
Sorry for the length but a book can be written about this topic
With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it.
I honestly never got TRULY bullied. I was made fun of ALOT of times but never beaten. Good article tho. I see why SOME people are bullies and almost never grow out of that phase.
Kids tried to bully me in middle school because I was short (late hitting puberty). I stood up for myself and generally bested them, but it was the shunning that upset me and left lasting scars. I wasn't part of the in crowd and with my height I was mostly picked near to last in gym. I personally think middle school is worse than high school for boys.
I really don't know what people's giz is with red heads. Yes, I think it''s simply cuz they are different. Unbelievable that in the world we live in today, we all of our differences that we still experience this.
Sorry you went through your crap. It's very mature of you to be able to rise above your own actions to see how it was affecting others. I wish more people could do that.
I've read the same about bullies being bullied. I just read about a boy who killed three people in Ohio on Monday. They suspect he was being bullied too. He also came from an abusive family. So sad. How anyone can be abusive towards a child is so beyond my comprehension.
I just pray that I am given the proper guidance to guide my daughter through any bullying she may experience. I pray she doesn't have to experience the deep wounds that I still to this day continue to try and heal. I pray that society finds a way to resolve this peacefully.
Thank you Marika. So are you. Love ya girl.
