Big Bad Bully ...

I really have a hard time with bullies.  Watching a child pick on another child will really set me off.  My kids can tell you of a time when we lived across from a ball diamond and a kid was being cruel to my son. I marched right over there and picked the kid up by the scruff of his neck and drug him over and sat him down on my front porch.  I know today you couldn't do that because the neglectful parent will sue you.  On several occasions, I drug the kid home to their parent and informed them that I was not the playground monitor ;-)  Sure, I can laugh now, but back then it wasn't funny.  Unfortunately, those young bullies often grow up to be adult bullies.  It's so sad to have such low esteem that you have to threaten and belittle someone because of your own insecurities.  Adult bullies are cowards that live behind a facade of strength, when actually they are usually miserable people and remember "Misery loves company".
