Parents telling their children to ignore hurt and rejection? Is this the right thing to children just to ignore it? This is the wrong advice to give a child. Any problem can be resolved with help from an adult. In Nineteen Minutes we see that Peter is bullied on a daily basis and doesn't want to tell an adult so he decides to just ignore the bullying. When Peter was still getting bullied he tries to cover it up with excuses. Such as when Peter gets his lunch box taken and thrown out the window of the school bus, he lies to his mom and says that he lost it on multiple occasions. In my opinion, no don't tell your child to ignore a situation. Get an adult or guardian to step in and get the problem straightened out. Yes this makes a difference of ignoring or not ignoring a problem because getting hurt on a daily basis just like Peter made him emotionally and physically hurt and then as a result of all the bullying and torment that people made him go through he decided to take action and start shooting anyone who had caused him grief throughout his life. No children shouldn't become tougher as a result of being shy and have a harder time becoming social. Even though a child has a rough time becoming social as a parent you gradually coax them to go and try new things and make new friends. Becoming tough might make you stand out but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be more social or popular. Yes I think that if a situation is becoming out of control or is an ongoing problem I think yes that parents and teachers are allowed to step in and try and resolve a situation when they are socially hurt. Parents and teachers are there to talk to so that problems don't start and your time in school or in the real world is a fun experience.
