And that is if the kid even admit he is getting harassed.

So this kid at your school got treated like this and you did nothing to help him? This is what I'm talking about. It's up to individuals to decide how they interact with others. You can't deflect responsibility for how others are treated onto a state-run 'government' enterprise.

"The law failed him!"
"the government should have helped him!"

No, you should have helped him. And if helping him would have brought the wrath down onto you, then so be it. Don't blame personal weakness and indecision on other people's actions. It's all up to you. [/QUOTE]I'm not talking about someone I went to school with. I'm talking about someone younger than me.
