  Siao...not in this humid weather

  Btw the Mum bringing the 8 yr old boy to court is for real

  It's in The Newpaper

   

  Apparently the mum says it's bullying but to the boys is more like a prank but the end result was that her son got hurt

  But seriously I thought at 8 yrs old it's normal to get injuries from fights and stupid things and you sometimes hurt your friend unintentionally

  PRECISELY!!  And they both kept on insisting it'll be at grandma's place, which is less warm, blah blah, but I'm seriously not interested!  They have scallops and abalone and big prawns what-not but I tell you, even if they offer me the entire shark's fin, if you're hot and sweating like a fountain, you won't have any appetite!

  I kinda glanced through and got the gist of that article. 

  Whilst I agree it's overboard, I feel that the boys should not have gotten away scot-free.  Bullies have to learn that there are punishments and consequences for their action.  School bullying in Melbourne can be really horrid and I see a lot of bullies growing up to continue their bullying action in the workplace.

  There's an unbelievably bo liao topic in Aunt Agony - "Can you love Ugly People?"    I don't think you can get any shallower than this!

  Well yes bullying should be punished

  But to bring a 8 yr old to court???

  Well, I guess they will say it's human rights in Oz... as in they have the right to bully

  That was the reply my aunt got when my cousin was picked on in school in USA.
  I think the boys there just hated him because the girls were all over him. My cousin was a very handsome boy. I think he is less handsome now but still very good looking. Haha

  I did say it's overboard. I wonder why the teachers did not put a stop to it.

  I have never heard that 'right to bully' thing.  It's frowned upon in Australia but it's hard to stop because some parents are assholes themselves.  There was a mom who got into trouble because she was caught on video encouraging her daughter to kick and punch another girl and the police let them both walk away scot-free until that footage was broadcast on national TV!

  Anyway i think these days parents tend to over-react and they tend to do more damage to the kid than anyone else

  here in singapore, schools do not take bullying seriously either. its either "boys will be boys", or they punish both bully and victim....which in turn makes the bully whack the victim even harder as revenge later.

  I think there's always psychological damage to kids who are bullied in school and whose parents do not do anything.  It's like, if your parents can't even protect  you, then who can? Although this mom's court action is overboard, in a way, I applaud her cause it's high time someone stood up against school bullies and it's high time parents of bullies realise that their kids cannot get away with their horrid behaviour anymore.

  I'm really against bullying.  There was a recent case of a young female adult who committed suicide after being bullied relentlessly in the workplace by three male colleagues.  It will make you cry when you realise how badly she was bullied.  I cried watching the news on TV and how sad her family were to lose her.  The father broke down and cried and said he felt so helpless that he couldn't protect her daughter and only found out about it too late. 

  I know most of you here take a hard stand and not surprisingly, in Singapore, there is still a huge non-acceptance of mental health and psychological health matters.  However, these issues like depression and other psychological ailments that are very real and sometimes, school bullying is the root of some of these issues.

  I'm not for mollycuddling, but I'm totally against bullying.  I think what the boys did to that poor boy was horrendous - tying his hands with rope and pulling his arms apart, etc.

  Kids need to learn that the full extent of the law may be used against them. If that includes taking them to court or a home, so be it.

  Sometimes I think that we've taken this 'spare the rod, spoil the child' concept a bit too far these days.....

  I am not suggesting a full return to the old days where you get spanked for not memorizing your times tables.... what I am suggesting is a return to corporal punishment for offences that call for it.

  I say by all means cane the bullies, thieves, hooligans and vandals. This will send out a strong message to all other would-be bullies: hit another kid, and you're gonna geddit good.

  Yeah, I want to go back and visit mustafa when I am not in a rush next time. 

  The savings are crazy.

  1 box of 10 blades for the safety razor is $2.

  1 packet of 5 cartriges for the gillette razors are $15 to $30 depending on model! 

  1 tube of gillette shaving cream is like less than $2

  1 can of gillette shaving foam/gel is $10+!!
