A few days ago a 14 year old boy walked into a bathroom at school and killed himself.

Seconds before doing this, a boy poured chili, on him...which appears to have been the last straw !
According to school records, to boy had been bullied for years.
He was bigger then most kids his age, and he was a slow learner...which made him a target for riducule.

Most people want to think that their kids would never be this cruel to another person....but what if you're wrong ?

What if your child is a complete azzhuzl...how would you deal with it !

aww thats horrible! i think a big problem in todays society is parents do tend to be naive about what really goes on with their kids. no parent wants to think of their kid as a bully. i also dont think schools do enough to prevent such things from happening...

A large proportion of bullies, are bullied at home.... they act out the way adults and persons of responsibility treat them.

A child who is victimised is also usually isolated within the family home... they have no strong emotional connection to a responsible adult... they feel they have no voice.

You are absolutely right !

I have alot in common with this kid !
As a child, I was tall for my age...so when ever I got hit or something I was expected to ignor it.

This Kid was 14 yrs...6-2, and weighted 220 !
No one would ever believe he was being picked on, likely because he was always told not to fight back.

Similar story here, a co-worker's son is a "big Boy" about the size of the young man described. He was getting teased, he finally punched the kid.
His Mom has always told him not to, because he is so much bigger than the other kids.

unfortantly now days,alot of kids have low self esteem and little to none social skills.To make themselves feel self worth,they usually hang out with other bullies to feel accepted
Come to find out,the one place that should be helping reinforce social skills(school) doesn't have the classes or groups for it

There is another class of bullies not mentioned. The "entitled" ones. People how somehow got the idea early on that they were better than anyone else and therefore entitled to do and say whatever they wanted. This behavior doesn't often come up at home because the people they are inclined to bully are not the types of people that would normally be interacting with their family.

Shouldn't the school be reporting the behavior to the parents of the children involved?
