[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 603417, member: 1550"] I wouldn't watch. I lived it so I know what it is, but from what I saw a lot of kids got bullied besides me. And it continued through all my kid's school years with 35 sometimes contributing to passive-aggressive bullying. Jumper went to our big high school for one year and came back to our small school because of all the out-of-control kids who constantly hurt each other and made fun of one another and she felt helpless to stop it. And Jumper is strong and can be intimidating, but s he was not interested in getting involved in protecting bullied kids. Then they'd go after her and one kid vs. ten kids is a no-brainer. It hasn't gotten better, and I wonder how anyone can stop it. From my memory, if you tattled on the bully, the bullying got even worse, even if the child got into trouble. I would beg my parents not to go to school for that reason. My daughter Jumper has told me that "you don't tell on anyone or it just gets worse." She isn't even bullied, but all the kids know how it is. Although the bullying goes on in school, it is usually behind the teacher's backs, on the playground, at ballgames or walking home too and on the bus. How can bullying be proven? If it is, what will stop the bullies? Here is a prime example of why I give up on bullying: A boy who was deaf wrestled on the school team at Big High School in our area. For a few years several of the more skilled and bigger wrestlers bullied him even sexually abusing him. It got so bad that his mother took him out of that school and put him in Jumper's school and the police got involved. The boys who had offended all got off on minor charges. One of them got a full wrestling scholarship to a very good state school...one of the best. This story was all over the news, but the school didn't care. They just want his great wrestling skills to help make money for their school so he got rewarded for his heinous behavior. There are also some kids who honestly believe that his small, deaf kid was lying about the other boys and that he's the one who blame. When stuff like this happens, I see no end to bullying. It's getting even worse with all the technical props to help it along now. And the laws are not that tough on those who use online bullying or offline bullying. I'm glad I got over my bullied years, and actually they made me have to learn to act tough and fight back, not sure such a good thing. But necessary. Not all kids recover from bullying.
