my thoughts on bullies

Quote From: krissy

I really appreciate this show.  I have a son going into second grade.  Towards the end of his first grade year, my son and some of his friends were playing a game called master and commander.  From my understanding it is kind of like king of the hill except it is played on the slide playground equipment.  Well, my son was the "master"  if you don't make it up the slide, you are "fired"  so you no longer get to try to go up the slide.  The little first grade boy that he "fired" apparently did not like that so, he walked all the way across the playground probably 200 feet or more and grabbed two other boys and a girl.  These kids walked back across the playground and held my son down on the ground while the little boy who got "fired" kicked him in the sides and another child was punching him.   The other two held his hands and feet.  I now believe that it is time to teach my son to fight back.  I may be wrong but, I will not tolerate this happening to him again without a fight.  One good punch in the nose and I believe that the bullies will get the picture. 
I have seen this show before and I just got more angry watching it again.  My son who is 14 yrs old now gets picked on at school as well.  Not so much anymore that I brought it to the schools attention and I myself have talked to the parents of these kids. The school that my son attends has a NO TOLERANCE POLICY and they make it stick.  If the harrassment goes on while at home and away from school the school will contact the police department and the police will then pay the bullies a visit at their homes, give them first a verbal warning and then if the harrassment does not stop you will be arrested! I think that is wonderful.  I for one WILL NOT tolerate my child being harrassed nor will I encourage him to fight back because that does not solve the problem.  Punching someone in the nose because they are picking on you makes you no better then they are. I will bug whomever I have to as many times as I have to to be heard that my son is being harrassed and I will NOT stop until something is done to those who do this crap.  It outrages me that kids today are doing this childish crap and the parents of these children feel no responsiblity for raising these monsters.  God will deal with these people when the time comes.  I was bullied in school as well and I didnt realize it then but those people who made fun of me dont matter now anyways.  Let people think whatever they want about you, they arent the ones who have to live your life and make your life what you want it to be YOU have to do that yourself.  You can never make anyone happy unless you are happy with yourself.  I am so angry that these kids brought someone so much pain that these children had to take their own lives and have to quit school because some kids have to be so cruel.  I am more angered that NOTHING is being done to theses children or to their parents.  SOMETHING has to be done to stop this and I for one wish there was something I could do to help you parents out there whose children are being bullied.  If anyone wishes to talk or just have someone listen..give me a holler.  I will help anyway that I can
