Hello!! LONG TIME no see!! I'm sorry I haven't rote in a while, I just would like to talk to you guys about what's funny and what's not. That may seen weird. You may be thinking well, my friend laughed at a joke once and I didn't think it was very funny, it depends on the person to see if its funny or not. Well yeah, but we all heard of what I like to call, hurt laughter. When someone jokes around and says something like "Your to stupid?" And then they both start to laugh but one the inside the other person really doesn't feel so good. They may not show it but I think everyone has enough common sense to know, that they may not act hurt or look it, they may even joke back but they still cant get that thought of, how you think they are, out of there head.
So, to be honest, you know we have ALL done this. You know you have. We may not realize it at the time but we can hurt someone on the inside pretty badly. I don't know if you have been joked to like this before and if you have you may think, wow she thinks we are soo sensitive. But I've seen this around me. And after the 'joker' walk away or talks to someone else, you can see the hurt in there eyes. And I wont say who but some people do this ALL the time in my early morning seminary class AT CHURCH. Yep. Sadly Mormon or not we all need to watch our judging. I hope and pray that the people will read this and take to heart what I'm saying. I don't want to ruin your fun, but offensive isn't fun. I don't care how many times the people that hurt laugh say they are not offended. Fine, okay but I AM offended when this happens around me. Not personally but when people especially priesthood holders do this it makes me feel a feeling of depression. I don't want others to have that impression of members of the church because there is lot's of members out there that don't judge in hurt laughing ways. SO PLEASE STOP IT!!! Mormons, WE NEED TO BE THE EXAMPLES!! NOT THE JUDGES OR BULLIES and to me this IS a form of bullying ones feelings.
