Since it's come up a lot lately, were you ever bullied in school?

[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 432864, member: 3419"] Not by the students. I went to a very small, private school, perhaps like Persephone did. We were all close. I was darn lucky! But we have some doozy teachers. One paced up and down between the rows of desks and stared us all down, insisting she could make every one of us cry. It was the first time I learned to make good eye contact and not cry, because my stubborn, angry side came out. I have no idea what made her do it ... she must have been out of hormones or something! When I see kids being bullied now, I have to listen for a bit to make sure it is what it is, before I step in. The closest I came to stepping in was last yr, when an older girl was picking on a younger boy, making him cry. He finally hit her (she had it coming, and he pretty much missed). Just as I moved toward them, another parent separated them and then commented that they were siblings, which made perfect sense. Ugh. Teachers like to say they handle it but kids are so sly and devious, the teachers can't catch it all. And hey, it still goes on ... on the street, in country clubs, you name it. Very sad. [/QUOTE]
