On the news today they were having a discussion on Bullying, because a 15 yr old commited suiside and blaming it on the bullying he got in school. His parents are trying to sue the school. Kids are afraid to report it, cus they will be beaten up for 'snitching' My own experience as I was picked on horribly in HS, and I quote, "Well, hon, you will have to solve that problem yourself. That was growing up is all about, solving your own problems" They really do not want to get involed. By not getting involed, you are saying, this bad behavior is ok. It is not ok, it can escalate to kids getting more and more violent, because they can get away with it. And as one person said who called in, the emotional scares can last a life time.
