Comment from Bill Schott
This story, Blurred Lines, pulls the chain on the mama bear, which endangers the lives of nasty young juveniles for the few moments that such retaliation can survive, before the long-term realities break through.

Hahah! Here, here, Bill!
Comment from Mustang Patty
Ah...the mother bear defending her cub imagery here is reinforced with each line. I think all too often, people poo-poo the veracity of mothers protecting their young, and in a world where bullying prevails, it is those very mothers who NEED to take action.
You've woven a lot of emotion within these few lines. Thank you for sharing, and I hope this all comes to a positive conclusion.
Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest,

I liked your poem. Bullying is such a problem. Your emotions were well expressed in your poem. My garnddaughter, was bullied too. My son home schooled her, and she is gifted. Kids can be so cruel. I am sorry to hear about your daughter being bullied. The bear matches your words well. Very nice job.

Junior High is horrible. For one year, I taught Junior High science. I minored in microbiology, my majors elementary education and Early Childhood. My husband was Army, so we moved often. Science was the first job, available. I grabbed and actually enjoyed reading the meat of a subject, as opposed to first grade. The problem, I don't really like the age group. The following year, I made it back to first grade and was soooo happy. LOL Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us and good luck.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Sadly, there are few who haven't had to deal with the repercussions of jealousy, and even worse, envy. Bullies are just a general makeup of the landscape. Hidden behind every bush or lurking in the shadows. The greatest deterrent is fear, and even bullies are susceptible. I've never read any of your prose before, but I hope to read more. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great nonfiction writing. It is full of feeling in the characters, and is sad that these things have to happen. Thanks for sharing a part of your life.

This is a very troubling right. In this world today we have so many that are doing the kind of things that you portray in this story. I wish there was someway we could stop all of this nonsense of bullies. Patricia .

Having a middle-school granddaughter who has been the target of bullying, I can relate to your rage. Wow, this is powerfully written. May I share it with my daughter? Excellent writing.

My sweet young granddaughter has been a victim of girl bullying, that of exclusion, and her innocent heart didn't understand, it's the sort of thing a parent, or I'm my case, a grandparent wants to teach them a lesson, protecting an innocent dear one, but she can learn to protect herself, popular, talented and self assured, learn the the right attitude as her mother and aunt did, well done, blessings Roy
