[QUOTE="bran155, post: 227514"] Good topic. I am probably guilty of using the term "loser" to describe some of the people my daughter has chosen to hang out with. One in particular stands out, the boyfriend who was beating on her, and yes I do think he is a loser!!! He was beating her up for pete's sake!!! But I do understand what you mean. Since all of this craziness started with my daughter way back when I have learned a lot and one of my true life lessons is not to judge other kids who, to the eye just look like "bad kids" or kids of a not so nice home as that is not always the case. Now when I see a child who's behavior resembles my daughter's I no longer assume that they are just "losers" or that their parents don't care about them. Because that is exactly what people think about my daughter when she is out and about spewing her illness all over the place. Truthfully, we as a society do not know what is causing these kids to act out or do drugs or commit crimes. How do we know that they aren't also mentally ill? We don't. How can we expect the world to view our children with empathy in their hearts if we aren't doing the same of others? I will absolutely be more careful in my word choices from here on out. :) Rotsne makes a good point!!! The media doesn't help!!! [/QUOTE]
