Kids Are Jerks
In my first batch of advice questions, we're reminded that bullying is alive and well in 2023
A few weeks ago, I suggested that I might take advice questions in these Friday editions. I used to respond to them on my blog, under my Die Hard-inspired “Take This Under Advisement, Jerkweed!” advice column series, and it was always fun to try and provide wisdom to strangers. Wisdom that I can sometimes dish out fairly well but am completely unable to put into practice in my own life. Yay!
Anyway, a few people actually wrote in, and as a bonus - and to allow them to see their answers, I’m gifting them - and any future advice seekers - a free subscription to the paid installments! For I am a benevolent god. And I want readers!
Both of today’s questions involve bullying, which is a bummer, because I thought we were enlightened now. Of course Trump is still the frontrunner for the Republican nomination so I have no idea why I thought that.
Random commenter: “Stay out of politics and make me laugh, clown!”
