High School in the "adult world"

All weekend clients were telling me about escapades that sound like they are straight out of high school. I don't know if it is these "over the top" reality shows where people act up and act out, or what, but there seems to be a total lack of manners, decorum, and common courtesy in the world today.

From people finding out that others have broken up with them on Facebook, to people having a "BASH so and so Party" ( people having a party and not inviting a friend so they can talk about her, and plot against her), to a made up page about someone on Myspace (that resulted in a lawsuit and involved a great loss of money and a few days of community service to the perpetrator).

Why do people act so high school?

Want to break up with someone? Go see them and tell them. If they are a violent person, at least call them. Breaking up by text and social networking is pathetic. You were interested enough to begin the relationship , be courteous enough to break it off in a polite manner. They also don't need their friends to know before they do! This is beyond mean and cowardly.

Having a "Bash party"? Really? How childish are you ????...not to mention KARMA. You have a problem with the way a person is running a group, talk to THEM about it (how many blogs have I written about talking directly to the person you have an issue with???) There are THREE sides to every story, and not giving the person the opportunity to talk is beyond unfair to rude and immature. Afraid they may negate your premise and ruin your nasty little party? Probably. Talk TO the person, not about them. It will always, always backfire on you.


Making up a page online? Not only is that a hateful and horrible thing to do, but it is illegal. The law is cracking down on internet fraud, bullying and slander. It is a childish high school prank at its' best, and a crime at its' worst, don't do it.

Someone asked where all these idiots are finding nasty people to gather with. They said it is like the Universe is making it harder for good will, peace and love on this planet because the problem people seem to be gathering together.

People are gathering into groups. The "like attracts like" interaction is very strong this year. That not only means that you will find others who will help you do good in the world, but it also means the jerks of the world will gather together and be more troublesome. Cowards always need to be in groups to act. It has been that way since the beginning of time, so that is why we are seeing more groups of people acting like they are two years old.

Do unto others....it works well when you are making a decision about what to do. Would you like someone to break up with you on a social networking site? Would you like a bunch of folks to have a party to talk about your behind your back? Would you like someone making a parody of you on a social networking site page? The answer is" No" to all of those, so don't do it to others. It is beyond rude, disrespectful and impolite to illegal, hateful, and childish.

I felt like I was listening to problems from teenagers all weekends, and these were people from their 30's, 40's and 50's...one was even 60 plus! Sixty is way to old to be a miserable hateful jerk.

Do unto others, and if you have screwed up , go and ask for forgiveness. Address any issues directly with the person you are having issues with, no one else, and certainly NOT on a social networking site.

To all my clients persecutors...GROW UP!


Let's see who can have an adult week.
