Acting out with cruel intention isn’t cool

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Growing up with several medical problems as I did, people can be very coldhearted. I’ve had my schoolbooks thrown out a bus window not to mention being told my parents were dead, etc. Which caused me to end up with a bad asthma attack. Later on I had drugs put into my soda can by a classmate.

I have a serious question for you to think about.

My health was already bad but when I was in the hospital the doctor told me that I have a virus in my heart lining. How would you act if that had happened to you?

I never did retaliate and that is the reason I am not doing time. Thanks to my parents and close friends who taught me how to walk away. If the other person acts on a cruel intention that will end his or her stupidity very fast.

So think really hard and study the scriptures and more of all pray for strength. Due to God-fearing parents who loved me I am living proof that I kept my faith, and took all that was taught to heart.

Bullies of any age can be very cruel and mean. Don’t get mad and retaliate. Just forgive their ignorant ways and pray for them.

Kenny Barrows
