Sorry to be pedantic, I see what you're getting at, but wasn't Patsy Brimmer played by two different actors? Yes. Just like there were two Curt Willards, two Red Turners, two AJ Covingtons, two Curtis Nortons, two Cindy Brunsons, even two John Boys. Same character, two different actors. I wasn’t being serious. 🤦♀️ I knew you weren't being serious and I took what you said with a pinch of salt. |

I have no idea what you mean by this..... does anybody ?! Perhaps I should have written I understand how school bullies can make you fear waking up in the morning and going to school. (Speaking of bullies) I saw a "Dr. Phil" segment on bullying recently... it seems there many types of bullying and many types of people doing it, including adults (who may be the majority) -- it's such a sad thing, and no reason for it.... even the bully suffers from it (his personal psychological burden), perhaps even more than the one bullied. The best way to "handle" it is to ignore -- do that long enough and it will eventually stop. Easier said than done, of course. |

I've ignored school bullies my entire life, it doesn't make them stop or act nicer there is just a select few who just don't like me and in the past think I was funny when they could me me bawl like a baby. Just a couple of people could make you ate and fear going to school. Thankfully things are slightly better now,. |

I had to change schools in 4th grade and the kids at the new school were not very nice. I did make friends but some of them really enjoyed teasing me. My mother taught me to never let them know they were getting to me because that's how they get their power. I ignored them and sometimes laughed at them. It definitely helped. If nothing else, I knew I was depriving them of the pleasure they were seeking by trying to rile me.
It was a good lesson that served me well my entire life. The biggest lesson to remember is that your value as a person comes from inside and has nothing to do with what others say about you or to you. And also remember that people who are happy and fulfilled and secure in their own lives don't thrive on hurting others. So while they are saying unkind things to you, they are exposing themselves as the insecure, unhappy little wretches they are. They don't deserve your concern or energy.

When I started Secondary School last year, I was introduced to bullying. A group of older boys started to pick on me whenever they saw me. I wear glasses and don't have exactly straight teeth, (I'm getting braces in January). They would sblack person to themselves and make donkey noises. My friends would glare at them and tell me to ignore them because it wasn't worth it, but I couldn't. My face would heat up and tears would gather. Why would they care what I look like? I didn't even know them! Can't they look past my appearance? I hate the pressure to be pretty. I believe everyone is beautiful in their own way. But especially with girls my age, you have to wear heavy makeup and have straight teeth and no glasses to be pretty. I am so lucky to have true friends, who love me as I am. Eventually it became not that big of a deal, and it grew easier to ignore the boys. But I can always sympathise with those who have been bullied. I know my story may not be a story of direct bullying, but in its own way, I believe it was. I was very hesitant to post this. If anyone feels it was off topic, don't worry I won't be offended and I will delete this post. Xx I am sorry if you have ever been bullied.  ❤️ Not off topic at all. I’m so sorry you were treated this way. I’ve heard that bullies often have low self-esteem themselves, and bullying others makes them feel better about themselves. I don’t know how true that is though. |

It can be quite surprising how people treat other people, especially when it comes to adults. A few years ago I was friends for quite sometime with several people who posed themselves as big supporters of a much larger group who to me represented love, family and friends. These friends turned on me basically due to the fault of one of them. I was willing to forgive her, but instead a short time later that friend had our mutual friends gang up and turn on me. It hurt at first but over time the pain subsided. The old saying "What goes around comes around" fits right into the situation because a short time later that gang imploded, or should I say broke up, all on their own. It's true what y'all have been saying because these people probably were and are unhappy in their own lives and have low-self esteem. True friends would never do what they did and I thank Heavens I no longer associate myself with them.

Avalee and Michelle
I am very sorry to hear about all of this
Be strong and don't let them get to you
Your education is important
Don't let those mindless fools interfere with your studies
Take up the issues with your teachers
They should be able to help you surely

A case of a kind of bullying in The Waltons, is that of Samuel Miller (The Emergence), an older student, who arrives late for for school one morning announcing that the corn harvesting is now done. Olivia has never seen this student before as he is away often helping on the family farm. He is slow and behind in his studies and the children make fun of him calling him “Simple Miller”. Olivia discovers Samuel has poor eyesight and this is the reason for his poor school work. She visits Samuel’s parents to ascertain whether they can afford prescription glasses for him. His father thinks very little of his sons prospects and preferring him helping on the farm. Eventually he concedes and allows her to take Samuel to the 5 & Dime store to look for glasses that may suit him. When he finally finds a pair that work, a whole new world is opened up to him. The glasses not only open up a new world for Samuel, on the way home Jim Bob and Samuel are in the back seat of John Boy's car. Now Jim Bob sees Samuel as a boy very much like himself and not as dumb as he once thought he was. The episode ends with Jim Bob and Samuel singing "I'm looking under a four leaf clover." Bob Marsic (Samuel)
