So no, We can't lay everything at the feet of current parents and teachers I'm a parent. I'm a parent who was sexually abused as a child and succeeded in not passing on my awful baggage about sex to my children. I took the position "The buck stops here" and was unwilling to accept excuses. I was fortunate to be a military wife and it allowed me to be a homemaker. I ultimately homeschooled my sons for a lot of years. My first blog was a parenting and homeschooling blog. I've had a few of them and none have really gelled. I would love to be part of the solution here for the wider world, not just for my kids. I don't know how to make that happen while getting no real engagement. Adults are absolutely the people who must be held responsible. Making excuses for why current adults can't do better by the children in their charge is part of the problem. I'm fine with saying "The US has amazingly shitty policies generally and needs to be more family friendly." I get that. But someone, somewhere has to take responsibility. And that someone needs to be a current adult, not a legal minor. From what I gather, anti-bullying programs tend to try to intercede with the kids in a way that fundamentally doesn't work. They don't have the legal rights or agency to stand up for themselves. Adults are the ones who have that. Adults are our only hope here.
