Because It’S Wrong: Bullies Vs. Nazis

By Lydia Greico M.A.

Because Its Wrong is relevant today because each year, bullying is on the rise. Few people want to talk about the subject as if it is taboo.

Lydia Greico, the author, was bullied herself in elementary school, as well as in the neighborhood in which she grew up. She feels that bullying is wrong, especially for the victim. Childhood bullies get away with their behavior because parents either dont see it or are in denial.

Bullying is on the rise all over the world. It has to stop. How are we able to make America great again with this kind of behavior? Our president can only do so much. It is up to us to do our part too. Parents need to pay more attention to what their children are doing and what is being done to their children.

This book was written as a teaching tool. Lydia Greico has a masters degree in occupational studies and is licensed as a psychiatric technician. Psychiatric technicians advocate for people who cannot advocate for themselves. Ms. Greico is now retired from this profession, but she still advocates for those who need it.

Lydia Greico has authored two other books and articles on different subjects. She earned her MA degree from California State University at Long Beach in 2006.

It is the authors hope that someone will learn from Because Its Wrong and aid in her campaign against bullying. Without bullying, we can make our children safer and decrease suicides that are the result of this type of treatment. May God bless all the children who were bullied so bad that they saw no other way out but to commit suicide.

Lydia Greico M.A.

Lydia Greico chose to compose this book for many reasons. Being bullied herself was one of the reasons, but the biggest reason is because bullying is on a rampage in the world today. Terrorism, bullying in schools, random shootings, and hate crimes against certain people such as transgender youth, those of among the LGTBQ community, or anyone different who doesnt follow the norm that is set by bulliesthese things must stop. We essentially are in our own holocaust today. Bullying was the cause of World War II, and now history is repeating itself. How can we make the United States great again when we cant even get along? The problem and its solution does not fall entirely in President Trumps lap. We have to help improve our society by raising our children with morals and ethics, fixing our families, and teaching Gods Word.

Dedication

I am dedicating this book to all the victims of bullying as far back in history and as it is happening today; People in the workplace getting bullied in America, our children in schools, and family life. I am also including the Jews that died in the holocaust in such a horrific manner with reckless disregard for life by the Nazis.

Acknowledgements

First I would like to say that without God this book would have not been possible. I believe that through him all things are possible. So to God be the glory! He gave me the power and strength and gifts to write this book. Next I want to thank my family and my extended family for giving me the space to do what I had to do in creating this book; For understanding my efforts in doing the research and for understanding why I had to miss family functions yet again to meet all my personal deadlines. I want to thank Sally Harrington, a former collegue, for giving me her notes on bullying from the ACTE conference. Next I would like to thank Rabbi Hiam Asa for his input and guidance. He now deceased was a survivor of Treblinka and I am honored to know him and his wife. When Rabbi Asa died my pastor Father Gilberto Escobedo took his place and he sat with me and counseled me when things got so painful I had to put the book aside for a while. I would like to thank Carrae Ettestad whose father was in WWII as a POW, rode to Dresden in a boxcar, and was also incarcerated there. I interviewed her dad when he was alive and remember his stories of being a POW. Next and the biggest thank you goes to both the AICE The American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE) was established in 1993 as a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship by emphasizing the fundamentals of the alliance and — the values our nations share They said I didn’t have to cite anything I retrieved on their page but of course I will. And the American Medical Association (AMA) I want to thank Dr Ron Raya for helping me edit the book chapter by chapter and for helping me with the APA standards…and support.

I would also like to thank Netflix for letting me view their documentaries, old news reels and movies depicting what really went on in all the bullying. They said to use them as long as I needed too. For that I am grateful because I want this book to be fact not here say.

Foreword

What the author reveals in her book, I personally experienced for over thirteen years in my young life. It happened at school, at church, with my neighborhood friends, and sometimes even my family joined the ranks.

The details of the experience are not important; it is the outcome which is. Forty nine years afterwards, the scars will never be erased. However, I’ve used my experience in doing a better job in my career, in my human services volunteering and deeply understand others’ pain which offer comfort to others, more sensitivity to those I work with and deeper insight into the lives I touch in volunteering.

The scars of humiliation have left me a more humble person. The scars of others laughing at me have resulted in little self esteem, no positive self image and low self confidence. I think the worst of what
