Teased by Indian 'Mock' Strawberries - future use?
Comments (2)You can use them short-term as sort of a trailing plant, but eventually the runners, just like strawberries, either have to root in or they'll die. It's not really something you can use to cover a fence. Really, it's essentially a groundcover type plant....See MoreTeasing Georgia Rose question
Comments (7)Two things come to mind. It could very well be a sucker from the root it was grafted onto. If it is fortuniana then it would be he Cherokee rose, which has white flowers once a year. I'm not sure what the other root systems would throw up. It could also be a sport, which is a new rose on a branch that unexpectedly comes about by mutation--very accidental and rare, but they do happen. Below is Malcom Manner's explanation of a rose sport. If it is a sport it would be very cool because it is new kind of rose. You could get a cutting and have it named after you. Here is a link that might be useful: rose sport...See MoreSchool teasing question
Comments (11)Personally I would have jumped her case the first time I heard about him being teased by her friends and her doing nothing about it. I would definately have a talk with her. I would tell her that he is her brother and we are a family and families do not do that to each other. She should be defending her family not joining in in teasing. There were many times when my brothers sister and myself didnt get along with each other growing up... but the rule of thumb for all of us was we can say whatever we want about our sibling but if anyone else says or does something mean they will have us to deal with. I would be very disappointed to here one of my kids allowing and then joining in teasing one of their siblings at school or anywhere else for that matter. We have told the kids before... friends come and go but your family are the ones that will be there for you no matter what...your family loves you unconditionally...remember that while you are busy trying to be cool for your friends...See Moreon subject of teasing 'shaping their personalities'
Comments (20)The reason there are so many different opinions on this subject is that 'teasing' is a general term that can mean anything from joking & exaggerating to being mean. Kids believe fantasy... Santa, Easter Bunny, tooth fairy, etc. & we play along with it. That is a form of teasing... and kids usually enjoy the fantasy. Trick or treat! There's a time to dress up and pretend to be something else (kids & adults) and tell scary stories & it's teasing to tell the kid "oh you scared me!", when they didn't. Parents usually play along with the kids fantasy & imagination. That can be a form of teasing when we go along with child fantasy... pretending they are a super hero or scary monster. In my opinion, it would be mean to tell a child they are not scary... they don't have super powers... they aren't REALLY a princess! They know they aren't those things but kids like to pretend & going along with their imagination is teasing. The teasing that can lead to bullying is the kind of teasing that makes a child feel helpless... putting them down, making them feel bad, insulting. Kids that are not participating, but are the butt of joke/tease could suffer problems from it. THOSE kids feel powerless so they look for someone less powerful than them to bully so they can feel more powerful. When I used to complain about walking home from the bus, my parents would say how they had to walk to and from school, ten miles in the snow up hill both ways..... I didn't go to school and beat people up because my parents joked, teased & made light of my dislike of walking home. Mom also told me she was going to mail my dinner plate to starving kids in a 3rd world country when I didn't like my veggies... I imagined boxes big enough to fit the plate & worried how the food would get there without spoiling. I was even a little disappointed when she never actually took my plate & sent it. I can honestly say, I never felt the teasing was "mean". To this day, my dad teases me and I still see/talk to him daily (we share an office). I tease him all the time too. Of course he thinks kids today are too babied & pampered. It took us over a year to hire ONE guy in his 20's that has strong work ethic & isn't doing drugs, tattooed, or getting in trouble with the law....See MoreDaisySue
