The "Class Bully" is as old as time itself, and curiously is just now being linked to such travesties as teen suicide and youth addictions. It's a very sad, very real problem in our society. Thanks for touching on this issue.<br /><br />ELElliot Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319271528871804399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-15847514785004695742011-04-03T21:58:09.308+10:002011-04-03T21:58:09.308+10:00Hi Sue, thanks for your sweet comment on not so sw...Hi Sue, thanks for your sweet comment on not so sweet smelling durian over at my blog, and for following.<br /><br />And thanks for sharing those annoying traits.

Girls can be so manipulative and cliquey, and their memories are so much longer than boys.

Roberto, yes...Jan, thanks, I hope I can keep it up!<br />Roberto, yes we can all be nasty and make ill-advised comments. The difference is that the bully is persistent in his or her use of these traits and will rarely have any genuine regret that they have tormented someone, in fact they'll often express surprise. If an apology is forthcoming it may be grudging, empty and even flippant. They can have a kind of Jekyll and Hyde personality, they can turn on the charm when necessary, but be vindictive in private. Some are described as a 'snake in the grass'. The lack of let up is the key, as is the quantity of these traits exhibited. Hopefully I'll be able to cover this adequately over the month. Please keep me to task and ask questions as necessary.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715879775216108688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-85905479179410365542011-04-02T13:51:38.584+11:002011-04-02T13:51:38.584+11:00Wow!
