thankyou Nyrorin, I had not realised what was happening, I just noticed that some people were being rather supercilious / And( some) very rude towards her japanese abilities. Not all of course.

Really its often not what we say-- but the way that we say it-- and unfortunately with no tone of voice-- there can be misunderstandings.

I had seen how she had tried to help the O P with some examples-- I still don't know how to type in japanese-- too scared to download something that might make it difficult to revert to English. I still am trying to write the Kana--


The teens can be hard--I struggled terribly with my own teenagers--They often think the whole world is against them--My teen gr children come to me complaining about their parents etc-- I was a very resentful teenager and very rude--I had no family to rail at-- but my employers did not always deserve my rudeness.


its a shame that things turned out as they have-- but hopefully lessons can be learned---


I guess also its alot about self esteem-- or lack of it. Put on a brave face and act in what can be perceived as childish--------manner.

Thank you for explaining-- I am afraid that sometimes I am like a bull in a china shop- if I see something that appears to be a form of bullying-- I will step in. Maybe its my childhood in childrens homes etc-- trying to protect those who are being bullied or made to feel inadequate.

If |Mira does read this thread again-- I hope that she too has realised that if she wishes to learn something-- appreciation and a little humility-- can go a long way. Perhaps her Peers do not know as much of the japanese language as She does. It sure takes determination and desire and devotion.

I still have sooooooooo Much to learn--------------
