The will to write...

I've lost the will to write which makes a blog difficult. It really does and I'm not sure what to do from here on out about it. I just don't know what I should do or how to handle the situation. I just don't know what's wrong with me right now and that makes it hard to function. Maybe I need some sleep...maybe I don't.

Wow...

Being from a small town has its draw backs. One of the major ones being that things go round the rumor mill pretty quickly and once the hate starts it doesn't end.

Late last week a kindergarten teacher was arrested on charges for indecency with a child. Look I'm not here to pass judgment on what he did just on the comments left on a local news station's website. I was floored by the hate that is coming out of people about this situation.

I've clipped a few of the comments to make my point.

"I was married to a teacher for 15 years. I speak from experience when I tell you that most of them have absolutely no business around your kids."

"...i agree wit another parent people should let them invistigate this it could not be true if they just start firing teachers for what a kid says then every kid is going to start saying this just to get the teacher fired!!...i really belive HE DID NOT DO SUCH A THING!! i want to know EVERY LITTLE DETAIL ABOUT THIS STORY!!!"

"It's freaking amazing how so many people can comment about this and not put their names. What are you afraid of? The school fired the man! As I said before we live in AMERICA where we are innocent until proving guilty and I know when this is over he will be proving not guilty. If you can't be honest and post things without using your name then what gives you the right to complain anyways. It's funny how everyone is so quick to leave comments about this and think so badly of the school when you don't even know if its true"

"...This is why my children go to Anderson Shiro Consolidated....I live in Navasota, just moved to town 2 months ago, I'm ashamed to see my community go through something like this."

"...Furthermore, suggesting that the school district is trying to "look out for one of their own" is ignorant, especially when that person is accused of harming a child. I believe a little bit of unity in the community would be more constructive towards ensuring a safe environment for the children of our district. Spreading anger and blame towards others rather than at the individual responsible for the pain and fear in our hometown does nothing but perpetuate just that: anger, pain, and fear"

These are all taken straight from the website. Some were shortened and I didn't feel the need to include names because there's no reason for that.

For that first one, wow I about fell out of my chair. I'm not sure if that was a comment about her husband or people he worked with. Either way that scares me.

You don't deserve to know every little detail of what happened. If you want to know wait until you can get a transcript from the courthouse. Until then it's none of your business. But you do make a valid point about children saying stuff to get teachers fired.

The third one amazingly only left her first name. I have no further comment on how hypocritcal her opening statment is.

You don't even allow your children to go to school in the town you live in, you have no right to be all ashamed.

The last one I chose because it was well thought out.

I just can't believe at a time when we should be coming together we're going to end up being torn apart over something that may or may not be true.
