Quote From: sjj6869I think its great that this subject is being discussed in such an open forum and people are being made aware of the magnitude of it. HOWEVER, I really don't feel that there were any answers or ideas or thoughts to fixing the problem. They talked a little bit about it in the last 5 minutes of the show, which wasn't enough. Those kids needed help and answers, and having self esteem and self confidence is not the answer. No offense to Clay Aiken, but I really don't think his testimony meant anything to Mark and Lisa who are in crisis. Also, I would have liked to hear Dr Phil talk about how parents can deal with their own kids who are bullies. I am sure that not all parents are in denial about their children's behavior. So these people need help in dealing with it. DR PHIL, Please do a follow up show that addresses SOLUTIONS to this problem.
Yeah but....................at least the subject is OUT THERE!!!!!! This happened to my daughter last year ! This girl was totally messed up, and was drawing my daughter into her web of lies. She asked my dauighter to be her lesbian lover. My daughter, who only 12, was so embarrassed. She started to avoid the phone calls for this girl, yadda yadda yadda. My daugher would not come to me about this, she was too embarrased.
I got online one day, and stum;bed accross some suspicious stuff. Found the blog, and went nutz! So, having Dr Phil bring the subject top light is better than not having ANYONE on our kids side at all. It a stepping stone, and Kudo's to Jay too. Besides, this was an older show, right? So maybe the next one will have more info. Lets hope so, if not............we can always write to Dr Phil and maybe get on his show !!!!!!!! Like the infamous Phil Donohue always said, "it's only an hour show and America is going to hell in a hand baskett"
Dr Phil has great communication tips in his Family First book too. NO I DONT WORK FOR HIM EITHER. Hahaha!
thanks.
