Oh I agree with u. Most of them think they know everything. I have 6 and one of them just went left out of nowhere. It's so hard for me to really look at my son when he presents himself as a half dressed insufferable diva. I can't believe this is real life.

Ikr!

We gotta demand that schools have structure, discipline, and CONSEQUENCES but parents gotta back up those decisions instead of acting a fool at their school when your kid messes up! Teachers have given up because our black parents DON'T PARENT ANYMORE! It starts AT HOME, THEN WE CAN STRAIGHTEN OUT THE SCHOOLS. PARENTS NEED TO PARENT, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW, ASK FOR ADVICE OR TAKE A CLASS! STOP REINFORCING BAD BEHAVIOR!!

[@LaurieHaley-jy8py]

He said very clearly it was a group of black people in an altercation. I'm sorry if the truth hurts feelings but accepting facts as they are is how people begin to hold those accountable that are responsible otherwise the violence continues. Truth is a powerful thing I take no pleasure in pointing this out but even with first hand accounts somehow that's not enough to persuade brainwashed individuals who've been lied to or just refuse to hold their own accountable. It's personal because everyone is impacted by these senseless violent murders it doesn't just impact brown and black people stray bullets don't discriminate

That's not fair. Nurses must separate themselves from the emotion of the situation in order to focus on treating the patient and providing the best care. Emotionally weak nurses aren't good nurses, plus we'd have ZERO nurses left if they went home from work crying everyday. Would you keep a job that was so emotionally taxing on you that you carried sorrow in your heart? No!
