[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 379897, member: 1991"] On the one hand, there are right ways and wrong ways to resolve these problems. We all know this. But too often we have seen the right way ignored and found ourselves being bullied in our own turn, as we are pressured to just let it go. And on the other hand we know that too often, almost all the time in fact, bullying continues despite efforts to resolve things properly and appropriately. Taking your daughter off the bus is one solution. But then the bullies have won. Why should the victim have to be the one to be disadvantaged? She has a right to be included and to be safe in a supervised environment. If the parents remove her for her own safety, it means the bullies are given the message that they can do what they like. It also indicates to them that their efforts to intimidate have been successful and they can continue (or even ramp it up ) with impunity. Sometimes there is no right way any more. I also find it interesting that although we would say that the balance of bullies to victims would be fairly even, almost everybody identifies with the victim. Is this because even bullies have experienced being victimised too? Marg [/QUOTE]
