[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660146, member: 1550"] Not all kids get bullied. My only kid who was bullied at all was Princess and it wasn't that bad. Nobody would have had the guts to take on Jumper. Bart did some bullying himself, although in a passive-aggressive way. Princess was shy and vulnerable and her friends always kept her on the edge of their group, which was what I meant by bullying. Other kids did not go up to her and throw her books out of her hands. Sonic, my autistic son, was never bullied. Other kids protected him and were very kind to him. Yes, all kids deal with unpleasantness with peers, but it is usually in passing. Bullying, REAL bullying, is a huge trauma if it gets out of hand. As one who was bullied for eight years it was every day and got physical too at times and helped destroy any self-esteem I had. That's different than the once in a while meanness of kids. My brother, being a bullied boy, had black and blue bruises all over his body from the bullies, but never told anybody because he thought that would make him even a bigger target. And it does. I'm not sure what the answer is though. One of Jumper's friends from another school was manhandled and bullied a nd the school just did not do much about it. She had to call the police. Then the parents went at it and t he bullying went cyber until one football game when s he was shoved around on the bleachers a nd a cop father was in the audience and saw first hand and took the girls to task. Then it got better, but she still hated to go to school because she knew they were talking bad about her. Nothing can stop that. Wish there were better answers for bullying. I think the bullies should be expelled myself, however very rarely do t he bullies do it in front of anybody else so without proof you have she said vs. she said. They can't do anything without proof. It is really a big problem that is not being adequately addressed. It went on much less at the small school where Sonic and Jumper went, but it still happened even with such a small amount of kids and enough staff. At Bart and Princess's large schools, it went on constantly to the targets and the staff never saw it happening. Many kids from there transferred to the smaller school as we have school choice here.
