Why are kids afraid to go to school

As your child, grandchild, friend or even neighbor returns to school let are heart be softened by those who may need a friend or even a smile.

I growing up watch a little boy die because he was alone and bullied. This little boy came from a family who had very little, who brought his lunch every day to school and was teased because he did. His bus stop was the 3rd stop and by the time the bus stopped to pick him up the seats were full and he was left to stand in the back on the way to school.
The boys from the back of the bus would take his lunch and eat it in front of him, I tried to retrieve the lunch multiple time. Only thing I could think of doing was to save a seat for him up front. Finally this little boy just gave up and died, never had a health problem just gave up. To this day I worry when I get to the other side and face this boy did I do all I could to help him or will he say WHY....


I have been here and know just how scary it is to have a child hurt so bad that he or she is willing to take their own lifes. If I was not in tune I would have lost one of my children to the crule world of BULLYING. All because he was quiet, scared and felt he was alone.

As your kids great ready for school be in tune with them dont miss that opportututy to make a difference
Special request to all you kids returning to school in the next few days: If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he/she doesn't have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most "in" clothes -- PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone's life

This blog prides itself on the quality of real estate information we deliver each and every day. We try to gather empirical evidence to validate the positions we take. We do not use just an anecdotal story to make a point. We also do not get caught up in the sensationalism of the moment. However, today will be different.

We can’t resist commenting on the story which recently appeared in the Wall Street Journal regarding Colby Sambrotto, the founder and former CEO of forsalebyowner.com. It seems the founding father and lifelong evangelist of the concept of selling your home without a real estate agent was forced to hire a broker to sell his home after failing at what he preaches others should do.

After failing to sell his NYC apartment on his own as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), Sambrotto hired a broker and paid a 6% commission in order to get the job done. His personal experience helps refute some of the myths Sambrotto has been espousing for over a decade. Let’s look at two of those myths:

Myth #1 – You Will Pocket More Money Selling on Your Own

Most FSBO sites say you can save the commission by selling on your own. What happened in Sambrotto’s sale?

From the WSJ article:

“The broker, Jesse Buckler, said he told Mr. Sambrotto the apartment in the Lion’s Head building on West 19th Street near Sixth Avenue was priced too low and wasn’t drawing the right buyers.

By May, it went into contract, he said, after attracting multiple offers. It closed in the last few days for $150,000 more than the original asking price.”

Myth #2 – The Internet Alone Can Sell Your Home

Many have said that, with the introduction of home search on the internet, hiring an agent is no longer a necessity. What happened to the FSBO guru when he attempted to only depend on the internet?

From the WSJ article:

“Looking to move his family to the suburbs, [Mr. Sambrotto] said he carefully staged his apartment for sale himself, and put it on the market. But after using a mix of websites to publicize his apartment, he said he had only ‘middling success’ and switched to a broker because many buyers were so reliant on brokers.”

Bottom Line

There is a reason the real estate industry has been around for centuries: it performs a valuable service.
