'I'm in love with my grandson and we're having a baby'

Where I grew up was considerably tame compared to many other areas. While a lot of what I know of such places comes from TV (the news) and reading online, it makes very little difference because kids across north america need little reason to be mean to another.

Media loves blowing thing out of proportion. Don't see anything new there. I've never once encountered anyone being bullied in my life, and I grew up in the Bronx (supposed to be a pretty bad city in New York, but the schools didn't really have much bad going on there).

But I see what you're getting at. I just feel that if you're bullied as a kid, it more being in the wrong place at the wrong time than it is having something like this stand out. My school had tons of misfits in it, kids that I'm sure would have been bullied had they gone to school where bullying was rampant.

And how would they find out? Really? Kids are MASTERS OF THE INTERNET right now, it wouldn't take much with stuff like this published. Plus parents talking about it and their kids over-hearing. There are a bajillion ways to find out since even pre-birth it's no secret.

Because children are going to google the last name of every one of their classmates to dig up dirt on them. This isn't even a big article that's running along the news everywhere (or at least, I don't think so). It's not going to be in the spotlight, so it's not like it's easy to just stumble on 10 years later.

I'm sure real bullies would rather pick on someone with the obvious weakness anyway, rather than going out of their way to research weaknesses. Why try hard to find information on a kid to bully them, when you can just bully Abu, the smelly kid with the funny hat and accent.

I have no problem with anything that isn't incest, beastiality or child abuse. I am strongly for homosexual relationships. And I don't think anyone cares about interracial relationships anymore (not that they ever should have).

But these are children, who would pick on each other for childish things. You think the children care that interacial relationships are fine? Or that homosexuality is okay? They may not even truly have any hate twards these pairings, but they just have fun picking at them. I'm sure whoever you picked on when you were younger was someone who's issues weren't a big deal at all.

I understand that this is hypocritical and I really have no good argument as to why they shouldn't be together besides it being biologically wrong. Not to mention I am completely incapable of forming a compelling argument so even if I had good reasons, they'd be overshadowed by my incompetent methods of proposing them.

I will say no more on this issue.

I appreciate your honest answer. Believe me, I've things I'm against for no reason I can explain either. That's perfectly fine.
