Quote by: Winter wind That's the same argument they made about my parents. I'm half Chinese half American. People said it would be damaging to my psyche. You know what? Kids did tease me. It actually made me a much better person as I could sympathize more easily with people. But that's not the point, the point is, everyone grew up and I was stronger at the end of the day. |
That may be true, but that does not make bullying good, because it toughens people up does not make it right, a cause of major bullying should be avoided if it can. The bigger issue here though is not the direct effect of bullying, it's the chance that a child may turn on his/her foster parents and blame them as the cause of their suffering. Catastrophic to say the least, how can you claim a relationship in which a child hates his/her parents to be worthwhile at all?
For your information this is the one part of the arguement I believe to be true, I will never foster because I couldn't put a child through that.
