Barden that was one hell of a great post.

I still bear the mental and physical scars of bullying. I could not even look at this post for a day or so because the thread title gets me upset, and reading the posts makes me choke. My 2 thoughts on the subject for your feedback are.

1* Bullying is to soft a term, when it is prolonged over a month it should be called what it is TORTURE

2* As a society we have to get serious about this. In the same way we have about sexual assault. 20 years ago if a lady complained about sexual assault there was disbelief "she brought it on" attitude and basically just not taken seriously by the authorities. Now thankfully attitudes have changed and getting better *still a way to go* The same MUST be done with school torture victims.


Sorry if this post is angry, but it is the way I feel.
