Good evening everyone! Have you ever experienced being laughed at by people in your surrounding?
I am quite sure, you have. I think, it goes without saying that this is something we probably all go through once in a while. It is somehow okay to crack jokes about people as long as it does not happen on a regular and offensive base, right? However, if  it is not just a little occasional roasting but a constant strain of belittling, derogatory and demeaning attempts to purposefully crush somebody's feelings, then we need to pay close attention and interact as to put a stop to that. Now, let us talk about this sort of relentless and quite disturbing form of harassment especially occurring in schools. This is commonly called bullying.
Bullying is a phenomenon which clearly seems to be getting out of hand these days specifically in this country. Too many schools are still turning their heads and looking away whenever children are targeted by their peers and are made helpless and often totally stressed out and depressed victims.
Not knowing how to approach a problem like this is not a shame, but avoiding to do anything as to prevent a child or adolescent from ultimately committing suicide definitely is! Kids should be taught at a young age at Kindergarten and Prep School that it is simply not the right thing to openly mock, bad- mouth, belittle, harass or bully others. If parents do not know any better, which clearly seems to be the case most of the time, it should be up to educators, teachers, coaches and alike to take over and pass on this message. Unfortunately, parents often aren't any better themselves and still bully work colleagues, neighbors or other parents. However, what I find most disturbing is the fact that there are teachers out there who do not just tolerate or ignore bullying in their own class rooms but support and even take part in it as reported on the news only a few weeks ago here in the State of New York. Teachers just like parents are still considered role models to our youths. If they prove to be bullies themselves, they must be suspended from pursuing a career in school for once and all. This should serve as an example to any student who finds pleasure in torturing class mates verbally, physically and/ or mentally. Bullies must be held accountable no matter what! And as a consequence they should be expelled from school forever as well because bullies need to understand one thing, they are no longer welcome- bottom line.

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)   - Die Dauer unserer Zusammenkünfte mit anderen Seelen mag von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einer Stunde, einem Tag, einer Dekade oder sogar darüber hinaus variieren. Das zeichnet uns grundsätzlich alle aus. Beziehungen lassen sich niemals zeitlich messen sondern vielmehr in geteilten wie gegenseitig beigebrachten Lebenslektionen und kommen durchaus auch zwischen Seelengefährten, Zwillings- und rein theoretisch auch unter Parallelseelen vor. Letztere aber treffen recht unwahrscheinlich zur selben Zeit zusammen. - Lasst mich zuerst auf das Konzept der Zwillingsseelen, Zwillingsflammen oder auch Zwillingsstrahlen eingehen. Kurz zusammengefasst, handelt es sich hierbei um zwei Hälften EIN und DERSELBEN Seele, die zu Anbeginn der Zeit in absolut harmonischer Koexistenz lebten. Selbst als wir uns als Seelen von DER Quelle an sich abspalteten, um uns letztendlich zu individualisieren, waren wir unverändert eins. Jede ...

May I introduce myself ...

Hi, my name is Marion. I am originally from Austria, Europe and have been living here in New England for five and a half years ever since I got acquainted and subsequently wed to my sweet husband. I speak a few languages, and have always kept my ear on the ground as to what is going on around me politically, socially, economically, and most of all psychologically no matter where I am as I feel it is of magnificient importance to stay updated at least on the surface of major matters which simply make or break a country's society. Sure, I am not in the position whatsoever to bring changes upon this or that people, but I should at least be able to express my free opinion about what bothers the heck out of me and hopefully others too. The reason why I wanted to start blogging is that I simply do no longer want to just sit around idle and keep accepting and excusing certain occurrencs, events, trends, situations, developments, and facts because everybody ...
Cuisine Terrible   Good Morning! - Yesterday afternoon we got home from work and from a late lunch or early supper depending. We had dropped in at a Subway's, one of countless fast food meccas to pound down a foot- long sub. In order to keep the bill below 20 bucks, I went with the Sub of the month, a Tuscan Chicken Melt. My husband looked at me, "I thought, you didn't like that sub." I shrugged it off, "Well, at least it's cheap." Then we were talking about food here in general as we often do when we eat out, and no surprise there, the verdict was just as negative as every other time. Anyway, after more than six years here and around thirty pounds heavier, I have to admit, I have finally got used to woofing down pretty much anything offered and that in scarily great quantities. I still recall my mum's words of farewell years ago, "I just hope, you won't become like them." Well, with respect to what I eat here on a regular base, I...
