Loni Says It Will Take a Village To Stop Bullying

Loni Love: My concern is that we have all these celebrities and he's getting all of this attention right now. But what's going to happen.

Adrienne Houghton: When he does...

Loni: After the attention goes away and it's still going to affect him.

Adrienne: Yeah.

Tamera Mowry-Housley: Uh huh.

Loni: So, it's like it's nice right now that everybody's here but in three days it'll be forgotten.

Jeannie Mai: Yeah.

Loni: And so, there really needs to be some policies put in place by schools, and parents need to work together to um... I don't know maybe there's some courses that people can take...

Adrienne: Yeah.

Tamera: I don't.

Loni: That they can teach the students. Ya know, there was hall monitoring. Back in the day if I had a problem my momma would go up to the school. Okay?

Adrienne: But that's the question is...

Loni: You know what I am saying. But...

Adrienne: Maybe these kids that are bullying other kids you have to ask yourself...

Tamera: It's true.

Adrienne: For the kids that are being the bullies, what are they being taught at home.

Tamera: Uh huh.

Loni: Yeah. Well that's the...

Adrienne: It's real.

Loni: And, and also. I have to go back, hey back in the day when it was a...a village. You know. I would go in my neighborhood.

Adrienne: Yep. It takes a village.

Loni: And if I did something wrong, they was like, "You know I'm telling yo momma."

Adrienne: Yes.

Loni: You know what I am saying. It wasn't about beating or spanking or whatever. It was about a point of respect.

Tamera: Yep.

Loni: And we're losing, our kids are losing a sense of respect now-a-days. And we need to bring that back.

Tamera: For each other. Yep. For the parents.

[The Real Audience applauds]

Loni: You know. For the parents, for older people, everybody. That's, that's what we have to start teaching.
