My Thoughts....6/15

      You never know how powerful a tongue is until a person say
something that they cannot take it back. I had done it for years
toward the people who are really there for me. There are moments
I had hurt adults with the words that was coming out of my mouth.
I do know that words hurt but when you say things that are very hurtful
you tend to get use to it. Including "not think before I say something"-
I just say those strong words and not think about that person's feelings after
it was said. For years, it was my way to protect myself from anybody even
when I get frustrated about stuff, I don't state how I truly feel, I just unleash my anger
and not think about it until I calm down.  When you are hurt
for a very long time, it is hard to separate from those who are really there
for you to those who are just around to hurt and see you fail in life (& on
yourself). Sometimes, when you unleash your anger towards the wrong
people; you are actually pushing people away.

Why the pushing away? Because of fear- you do not want to be hurt again by protecting
yourself because people did not protect you from the beginning or Out of anger because
you are still carrying out that anger & humiliation from those who had betrayed your trust?

I do know it is the combination of both. Most people would tell me, "Get over it!"
To those who had experienced that pain & anguish from the past but it is difficult
to work through those issues; my response, "It will take one day at a time- just continue
to work on yourself."  Maybe something is telling me, "Megan, you need to continue to work
on yourself with the help from Jehovah." There still issues I continue to work on every single day-
it has not been easy for me.

I mean ever since my family and I had moved to Indianapolis, I became more angry and overprotective
of my child. I always learn to love your neighbor- Yeah! but not trust anybody with your child. It really stems
from my childhood when my own mother had left my sister & I with anybody and everybody including
her creepy husband. There are still things I need to continue to work on. It is just going to take everything
one day at a time with prayer and the realization on who is actually there in my corner. It takes time to lower
your guard down. Those who had suffered from abuse should understand the lasting effect when it comes
to trusting people including family and those who truly care about as a person.

It will take time-just don't give up on those around you and yourself.
Anyways, until next time....

My thoughts....

It is ridiculous how these school system is NOT doing any background check on those who are suppose to be teachers.It irritates me so much how these "so -call" teachers are going after students like they are THEIR age. FYI: These are children...CHILDREN! All they need is guidance and education so they can get ready for life and career down the road. Even there are children who has issues with learning like dyslexia; there are teachers who do not know how to work with children with learning disability. There would be times when teachers are not patient with a child who is going through a learning disability or just issues at home. These teachers need to go back to school, themselves who need to learn how to be more patient with a student.
Would you believe that I had dyslexia? Believe it. This same person who is an author and a blogger had dyslexia. I had to deal with teachers would was not patient with me and had the nerve to talk about me like I do not have emotions. Or as stupid people would say in the 90's about kids, "They will bounce back. They will be okay." To this very day, I still remember this teacher had screamed in my face because she was really impatient with me. Honestly, math was never my easy subject. But when you have a teacher yell in your face or humiliate you in front of the class because they never like you; it make you seriously want to tell the school principal to get you another teacher. As the scripture in 2 Tim.3:1-5 states: " In last days, critical times hard to deal with will be here...unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection....."It shows that we are living in a time where people has a lack of affection towards a child, an elderly person and anything that is precious in God's eyes. People are getting hurt everyday including children. And it is getting more and more difficult to trust an actual learning institution for the child without the child is being mistreated or being raped by a low-life "so called" teacher. There would be even times when the teacher would lie on the student (On Purpose) so the kid can get in trouble with the parent.These teachers do not even know if the child is in an abusive home so for a child it is hard to trust an adult figure.
Based on my learning disability, through the school they were able to provide me a tutor. My own mother did not care if I had a tutor because she did not make the effort herself to find me a tutor so I can pass the class. Honestly, you do not need drugs to help a child with dyslexia. Teachers need patience regarding teaching a child. Parents need to do more to get involve in their child's education by sneaking up to the school when the teacher does not expect you to be there. Parents need to do more to see how the teacher is treating their child. As a parent, we left our child with you so you can teach our child the ABC's and 123's.
NOT dating them, NOT disciplining them-that is OUR job to discipline our child NOT YOU. Parents need to do more to get involve in their child's education not drop them off at the school's doorsteps...and that's it. It is more than that. It is time to help our children and continue to stand our ground against teachers who is WAY out of line. Anyways, until next time...
