Kids should really be taught not to pick on others. They say kids are mean, but they really learn this behavior from their parents. They're the real meanies.
I was picked on as a kid and I know first hand how damaging it is. In no way does this excuse what these boys did but it adds to just how unfunny the incident was. |
I realize the authorities cannot always catch it when it happens,but I think the authorities in the schools somethimes turn the other way when it happens and do not slam the bullies. I base this on personal experience. In fact, I saw some teachers actually validating it or supporting it - not fighting, just general guff, which can hurt more. I am certainly not saying all teachers are like this. I am just basing this on personal experience.
I also think some parents like it when their kid is "cock of the walk." So, they support that "my country beehive hair is bigger than your's" attitude.
