[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 646006, member: 1233"] Bullying is about power and control over someone, just like rape. I have long thought of bullying as emotional rape. Both leave very long lasting devastating scars. If you said things about rape victims that you say about bullying victims, you would be crucified. That only changed in the last few decades, so maybe there is hope for bullying. Our big bully problem here is the teachers. Any kid who is bullied is supposed to fill out a report and give it to the office. About zero reports are filed each quarter, so we have no bullying, right? NOT! Kids have to get the form from a teacher. Teachers ALWAYS ask why they need one and then tell the kid that they were not bullied because whatever happened isn't bullying, so they cannot have a report. Another parent has a list of children who were denied the form in the last 3 years. It is staggeringly long and those are only the known ones! This is why a student shot himself at our HS a couple of years back, and why my gentle and loving thank you choked another student. FOUR requests for a bully report form were denied by teachers with-o ever even listening to an entire complaint (other kids told me this), so thank you made the bully stop. In the bizarre way of boys, now they are great friends. But this other boy is careful to not push thank you to far as he knows that thank you can an will fight back. But thank you should not HAVE to, but our teachers and admins are idiots. I am sorry this kid is being transferred with-o the bullies paying at all. I hope a chang o scenery is helpful. I would point the family toward the Wrightslaw website so they can learn about their rights, due process, etc... [/QUOTE]
