Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I know someone whose first period ran clear down her legs and she was wearing white pants. (Later in life she was diagnosed with a bleeding disorder but at the time she had no idea).
Her stepmother was called to pick her up from school, but refused to do so.
She had to ride the bus home, and no one offered her any dignity, largely because she was in one of those early forced busing situations.
She red the riot act to her stepmother that night, but I doubt it made much of an impression. That woman did not have a maternal bone in her body. She simply didn't empathize.

I agree. The ones l know don't seem to be as materialistic either.
@Sticks48 My nieces and their spouses are in their late 30's...they are much more relaxed and their kids know everything from computers to taking care of those that are being bullied...they are all mixed races as well...it is heartening to see them all get along and let go of the old angers that plagued many in our generation...it gives me hope
@thinktwice I feel the same way.
Pity there is no more like that.

They're out there! Take heart!!!
A few yrs back my high school aged son beat the living daylights out of a young man who refused to apologize to a young woman. The issue was “slut shamming”. My son ended up with a three day suspension but it was worth it to him. This was around the time of Rehtaeh Parsons‘ suicide after being bullied.
@Science-guy You brought him up well, you did.
@Jolanta I was and continue to be proud of him. At the time I told the vice principal that if she had a daughter in the same situation, she would be thanking my son. I told her my son knew that if he did the crime, he would do the time gladly. The whole school clapped and cheered for him when they took him to the detention room.
@Science-guy Just so unfair that is. Incomprehensible that is.
