Now look how the tables have turned.
For months, these same people claimed they were all about awareness, truth, and protecting others. Yet here we are watching them target someone whose biggest offense appears to be befriending Lesley.
Beverly has done nothing more than form a friendship, and suddenly she finds herself under scrutiny. Why? What exactly has she done that warrants this level of attention and criticism?
To me, this proves what many of us have been saying all along: some people will take any opportunity to bully someone if it means going after a person they don't like. It doesn't matter who gets caught in the crossfire. If you're associated with the "wrong" person, you're fair game.
At some point, people have to ask themselves whether this behavior is really about awareness or whether it's about control.
Which brings me to another question: Has Stephanie lost control? Because it seems like the standards keep changing depending on who the target is. One day people are told to stay away from someone, and the next day anyone who speaks to them becomes the new target.
And while we're on the subject, the Beehive isn't nearly as private as Stephanie seems to think it is. Information has a way of finding its way out, and when it does, people get a glimpse of what is really being said and done behind the scenes. The more that comes to light, the easier it becomes to understand what many of us have been pointing out all along.
Friendship is not a crime. Being kind to someone is not a crime. Having a conversation with someone is not a crime.
What is concerning is how quickly some people are willing to dogpile another person simply because they don't approve of who that person talks to. That says far more about the bullies than it does about Beverly.
