Strategy …as in the way you look at the original question
Your boys as a simple innocent example
2 and 2 make 5 as in the way things are misconstrued here…..
Anyway if you feel upset by anything I said… I apologise and it was not said with malice or intended to cause offence…. as far as your remark about me is concerned… as I said 2 and 2 often make 5 here but thank you for your interest.
welcomes the sun… ooops where did Cherrie disappear?

Mrs T, I don’t think it’s crazy to be scared of telling off young people at all, I can cope with being given a load of backchat but these days you never know what weapons they may be carrying. I have on occasion had to throw boisterous young people (teenagers larking around) out of the shop, but the other day I had a stern talking to from the Shopping Centre management about the risks I was taking and told that I should call for security as a first resort…I’d always thought of calling security as a last resort!
Our town doesn’t have much violence, at least I haven’t witnessed much, but the other evening I was on my way back to my car when I witnessed 6 youths laying into one of our local characters, a young man with learning disabilities and a quirky personality. I didn’t dare tackle them, neither did anyone else around at the time, but I was the only one who got out my mobile phone and called the police. Not tackling them is one thing, ignoring it is another.
Actually Jen… I think usually I would say something whatever the age… it was just on this occasion it was twilight and there were no other people around and i suppose I felt vulnerable…. they were probably OK kids… it was just my feeling of vulnerability that stopped me on this occasion. Have kids myself who have loads of pals who are a delight
Charley…. especially when I have apples :D

Not strictly the case Mrs T – you can be an introvert and seem an extrovert, or the other way around. Everybody has both characteristics, but at different degrees. Everybody has a persona eg. a personal mask adopted to cover the true self – either introverted or extroverted. If you google the philosopher, Le Senne, it should describe this clearly. I reiterate, it has nothing to do directly with being creative.
I think thats what I said anc :D
Its a shame we have to ask this question isn’t it… I remember when I was a child being aware of all adults and not misbehaving if any were around. If I was told off one thing was sure, if my mum found out I would be in big trouble!
What would I do nowadays… hmmm well have to tell you I had a situation recently where a group of young people were misbehaving, I was on my own and it was early evening… and guess what… I walked on by, I didnt intervene because I was scared. Crazy isn’t it!
If the children were younger Jen like the ones you describe probably I would say something… but I would not be at ease doing so.

I used to be stubborn when I was younger just to prove a point….but nowadays I really don’t give a shyte is someone thinks something that isn’t true. I think this place has made me such a way……at the end of the day does it really matter if someone believes somthing that isn’t true? Nope it doesn’t :roll:
Dangerous strategy Kent…. its a small world and what is it they say… we are only five people away from someone who knows you or your family. I understand what you mean about people making incorrect assumptions here 2 and 2 make 5 and all that. Its annoying but its a tiny step from here to the real world… how terrible it would be for your sons if their friends thought what was said here was true… just a thought.

jealous mrs t? nah no way you have been her long enough to see my 2835 posts cruelly taken away from me,thats why i refuse to put any pics,songs,images,poems in here,im very quiet in here normally,i think you know the room i spout off in and air my views and stuff,anyway lucy and mrs t am i not allowed to put my opinions or constructive criticism in here?
Yes you are cosy and its lovely to see you here….. you know that but… this is a forum and we are entitled to agree and disagree… Yes?
Sometimes Im introvert sometimes extrovert…as has already been said depends on my mood and the situation Im in. I dont think creativity goes hand in hand with whether you are one or the other.
I think if you were truly introvert you wold not be posting here or be in a chat room….. just posting here I suppose requires some creativity so maybe we are all creative in some way.
