Stop “Adult” Bullies to Strengthen America! Part Two
In Part One, the topic was empowering children to prevent them from becoming bullies or victims. Spiritually centered children learn to stay safe by speaking up and standing up for themselves without anger as they develop self-confidence. Part Two: Recognize adult bullies who prey on emotionally weak people who lack self-confidence and go along with the crowd to have a false sense of power.
Over the years, as a crime and violence prevention specialist, I learned everyone has good instincts and a guardian angel to protect them. We need to teach children to listen to their inner guidance, which offers protection, self-esteem, and a self-protective conscience that can keep them safe and healthy.
I was abandoned in Mexico City by my mother and her boyfriend at age 15, and I didn’t speak the language. I was alone, without support, and living in a rented room while attending Mexico City College. A fellow student asked if I wanted to go on a double date. That sounded like fun, although my Spanish was poor. Margarita said she would interpret as the college men spoke little English. After dinner and a movie, they decide to go to a bar on the outskirts of town. I felt apprehensive as we ordered beer, and they had several. It was getting late when Jose grabbed Margarita’s hand, and they disappeared up a flight of stairs. Juan grabbed my hand, and I pulled away. He tried to persuade me to go with him, but I refused as panic and my self-protective instincts kicked in. Juan grew more frustrated with my refusals. A few men sitting at the bar laughingly encouraged my date to take control of me. At that point, I surprised Juan with my strong tone of voice and told him to stop bullying me, or I would call the director of his college and report his behavior. I felt empowered, and he understood my message by the tone of my voice. I didn’t win friends that night, but I protected myself and grew smarter and wiser.
Parents must strengthen vulnerable children so they don’t become victims.
Everyone needs to recognize bullying in schools, government, and in the world. When elected politicians and students state, “Death to Israel and Death to America,” and young people across America bully others, stop traffic, and threaten fellow students, we must stand up against this behavior, or the tyrants win. Bullying tactics or trying to appease evil behavior that disrupts and threatens lives must not be tolerated. Appeasing or ignoring bullies only emboldens them as they gain more followers.
Warning: If you raise a child who doesn’t know about inner power or divine guidance, they may go along with the crowd without realizing they are being manipulated and indoctrinated.
Today, we are being warned that bully leaders in the Middle East want to destroy free nations, including Israel and America. We are witnessing spiritually off-centered bully leaders controlling weak followers who never learned how to live by their own free will. How much power and control will human beings turn over to their government?
With bully dictators around the world and people in America who hate freedom, we are experiencing a battle between good and evil. If we want to remain free, we must take steps to ensure our children’s health and safety. Understanding the importance of stopping bullies from all walks of life, we can strengthen children and maintain freedom.
An old Egyptian proverb says: “Oh, Pharoah, who turned you into a tyrant? He replied, “No one tried to stop me.”
Today, we are witnessing young, angry bullies (intimidators) who are engaging in spiritual warfare. We can teach children about the “Armor of God,” explained in the Bible, Ephesians 6 – or we can “hope” they will stop bullying fellow students and mature with Wisdom.
Prayer and relying on my inner power for strength is how I survived a dysfunctional family that never taught me how to stay safe and healthy. At age 15, I learned, the hard way, how to survive and how faith can save America and the free world!
