These bullies are just so insecure and project it unfairly onto others...Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566183193529841461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-72603395670017422552012-03-03T01:26:56.008-05:002012-03-03T01:26:56.008-05:00This is an awesome post.

I feel like society has become more accepting (in many places) but high schoolers still think it's okay to act like this? I was made fun of in high school... in P.E. class... because i suck at sports. And you know what? I still remember harsh words said to me in that class. Words hurt. And what makes those people so superior. GAH! I'm so glad those days are over for me!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815407660365883762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-33351655197232212952012-03-02T15:04:39.401-05:002012-03-02T15:04:39.401-05:00This is a great post!

They don't want to get picked on so they don't say anything. I think you are an amazing teacher and parent. I'm not sure what else we can do!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166675839896294650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-3777479981249391152012-03-02T14:57:55.279-05:002012-03-02T14:57:55.279-05:00This is such a great post!

A bully is only as strong as the people who back him up. If they had to stand alone I doubt they would be as mean. It's so sad the things kids have to live through ...Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961947626246359034noreply@blogger.com
