Side note: posh pony is out of business and has taken money from tons of parents and not delivered a product, committing fraud countless times. If this disrespect is untrue, well that's a whole other issue. I hope these athletes who have treated this one with disrespect realize that every athlete on that team was a crucial part of them winning. I hope more parents out there teach their kids to treat others fairly and with compassion. Kids learn from their parents how to treat others. At 11, my kiddo knew not to make fun of other athletes and especially younger ones who might have looked up to her. That being said, I did tweet defending this athlete because we all need to be more accepting of others. A good lesson for an 11 year old to learn, which has stayed with her now at 15. Just because someone is at the forefront of an issue doesnt make them a saint worthy of hero worship. She learned a lesson: just because someone is popular doesnt mean they are nice. My kiddo was upset because she looked up to that athlete. I remember this particular athlete laughing at and making fun of my kiddo on instagram a few years ago and blocking her basically because my kiddo did not buy a posh pony and instead got another much cheaper brand. If the bullying was brought up to the gym and they chose not to do anything about it, then yes shame on them, but she could have easily left. So i know what its like.īut gyms, coaches, etc arent these kids parents, they cant control every aspect of these kids feelings, lives, etc. I was bullied relentlessly in high school and i had to sit in class with those a-holes for an entire school year. However when you switch teams multiple times throughout one season, i cant sit here and say that a gym/coach should kick off kids who have been there an entire season, because one kid came and decided she didnt like the way she was treated. Clearly she and her mom were upset on how it was handled but stuck it out for worlds, etc. However, i do feel like it was an isolated incident possibly only involving one teammate, maybe a few not even on beatles, but not the whole team and/or program. Kids are awful these days, so it wouldnt surprise me. Given this girls situation, do i believe some form of bullying has occurred at the gyms she has been to over the years, sure. I wont believe so called anonymous screenshots, simply because it aint difficult to fake those kinds of things in a matter of minutes. But ill say it again there are always 3 sides to every story, your side, their side, and the truth. This topic was already lightly talked about in the random thread.
