I JUST TOLD HIM THAT HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH I COMPLAINED MANY A TIME. i made my class teacher to shut his mouth and he failed to take any action against me.then he took me to my school principal,i told him the same that i was bearing it from past 3 years,my principal could not win an argument with 7nth grade ME cuz he failed as a school head in taking care of students. where did i learn all this? my parents never told me to become violent or to beat someone.its a natural process where you decide what's morally right or dhamma or dharma.<br /><br />from that day,everyone was scared to bully me,the guy who fell unconscious was totally changed,he became calm and studious. there was total change in everything and it did change bad guys into better guys.sometimes incidents are serious and scary,but they bring greater change.<br /><br />all above lines could have been avoided if parents of kids behaved like really educated or know the real meaning of parenting.people just conceive kids and throw them out like in wild,without teaching what's good and bad.we don't need such parents on earth but most of parents are like that cuz they just give a reason that their life is busy and they want to make money above parenting.<br /><br />in india, going out really tests your patience cuz people dunno how to behave or people are born to corrupt parents.ramnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2689890387945312233.post-32082176750479051892016-05-31T14:55:52.096-07:002016-05-31T14:55:52.096-07:00Hey Colleen,
You know what annoys me about bullyi...Hey Colleen,<br /><br />You know what annoys me about bullying the most. At school the teachers know who the instigators are. While kids of any age think they are keeping it on the down low, they are more than obvious. And school gossip can be heard everywhere.<br /><br />Kids will always be nasty to one another. However to feel like you're not safe is a different thing all together. Feeling sad by the kids doing what they do is one matter. A child not feeling safe is another. <br /><br />It sounds as though zero tolerance is the new buzz words. And the thing is, those bullies, if they are not made accountable early on, if they don't take responsibility for their actions early on, they go out in the world thinking its okay later on in life. A horrible cycle. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />Rachel. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042617069519982959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2689890387945312233.post-68117912194977530512016-05-30T22:11:35.167-07:002016-05-30T22:11:35.167-07:00I'm so sorry.

But now, it is everywhere and we have become painfully aware of it this year as our little son started first grade and hasn't had the experience we hoped for him. :( Thank you for your comment!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2689890387945312233.post-49922970398923349842016-05-28T22:23:30.808-07:002016-05-28T22:23:30.808-07:00Yes, there is something so disturbing and terrible...Yes, there is something so disturbing and terrible about the mob mentality that often goes along with bullying. Children (adults too as you say) egg each other on and it's like they try to strip the bullied person of their dignity and identity. I really admire that you make it a point to stand up for others.

It is horrible when I turn on the news or read the internet to hear or read that another child, some even as young as 8 years old have taken their own life due to the amount of suffering they feel inside from being bullied everyday. With the internet and the opportunity for people to hide behind their computers, bullying has taken on a whole new face and it needs to stop. I have been bullied and still carry the scars with me today. It can drop your self-esteem to its very lowest point and change who you are completely. I stand against bullying and have always stood up for the underdog at school and even at work. Even we as adults bully each other and we need to stop. As you said, there is room in this world for all of us.

I refuse to tolerate bullying either from other kids or from my daughter along with victim blaming.
