what if it was ur kid getting bullied

Answer 1

you people here might not believe me but my older brother commit suicide for the same reason as that boy did. i dont know if my brother was talking to people like that through the net but he killed hmiself becasue of the bullies at school. so that clip kinda hit home hard. i dont have any kids of my own and i dont plan on it but if i knew my kid was getting treated like my brother or that boy was i would make sure those kids got what was coming to them. my family sued the board of ed of that town after my brother died. we won. they were charged with torture and something like dead with out justice, i dont remember exactly what that last part was but thats what bullying really is.

Answer 2

I cried when I watched this. I feel so sorry for this boy and his family. How hateful and cruel people especially teenagers and kids are and we all seem to forget that as we grow up.

The interviewer described the girl Ashley as having a nervous smile. Sorry I don't buy that. She did not look sorry she did not look guilty she just looked as though she was talking about a day out with her friends.

What we do need to remember is that most people who bully have at some point been bullied themselves or they are giving in to peer pressure. I wouldn't describe this girl as a bully I would say she was just cruel, she started out as a friend and turned against him. That somehow makes it worse.

The person who encouraged him to commit suicide, needs help and their parents should be forced to confront the issue head on.

My 11 year old daughter was bullied when she was about 8/9 years old because she was slightly over weight. As a result she started to starve herself. Thankfully I was able to talk to her as make her see that the weight she was carrying was simply 'puppy fat' and that she would lose it all as she grew and her body changed. She is now happy in her body (well as happy as an adolescent girl can be!).

Frankly area of it truly is, your husband's a jerk and taking income of your (and your babies's) dependence on his income and reward. Secondly, this could be a factor of a larger project in society. over the final 60 years or so, being a spouse and mom has now not been considered as a definitely "pastime" the demands of females have become extra (they're predicted to be a spouse, mom and artwork all finished time if not extra, in any different case they're considered as lazy). the place the expectancies of adult males have become much less (if a guy even sticks around) he's barely predicted to artwork a activity, yet has no standard jobs for the babies he assisted in making. 0.33, why might you have extra babies with this guy if he did not already shelter the babies you had? different then telling him flat out that HE helped make the babies and HE desires to help in looking after them (different then financially). that's not him basically being under pressure if he became like this once you have been working. tell him your babies want high quality time (advise getting his butt off the video games). If he complains your spending too lots time at your mothers and dads abode, why does not he incorporate you? in case you and HIS babies are THAT lots of a burden to him, perhaps he does not could be around.

Sad story. I don't understand your question. How would I have left??? Left what??? I don't think that girl was truly sorry. She seemed to have a smirk on her face the entire time. My daughter is young but I hope I would know if my child was being bullied, either being instinctive or my children coming to me and telling me the situation.

Answer 5

This is a difficult and tragic. There are no other words to describe it. It is so close to home it is spooky. I am crying.
Our 13 year old son has an autism spectrum disorder - he does not understand the social world. From the day he started elementry school his world fell apart. At this stage we did not have a diagnosis. The bullying started in his first year (kindergarten and continues today)

Worst of all he was unsupported by the adults in his school life - they saw him as a naughty boy with behaviour problems. Label someone enough and that is what you create.
We moved to another elementry school. They confirmed that he had problems and supported us in getting him assessed - by the age of 10 we had a diagnosis. He has struggled with no intervention - kids teasing, setting him up. Kids who are supportive wear the fall out - they too are isolated and then bullied.

We have a 13 year old boy who is charming, intelligent and highly sensitive. He tries so hard to fit in but doesn't quite make the grade not just for his peers but some of the teaching staff in his life. As a result he now hits out at the world around him. Full of a panic. Punished. Taunted. Blamed. But the perpertrators if we are lucky are spoken to. Our son does not have the words or skills to defend himself. The only thing he has left is fists. For using his fists he may receive a ten day suspension. Yet the bullies receive nothing.

A civilised society is judged by how they treat their most vulnerable citizens. We are Australian, so America is not alone in the shame of how unsupported and cruely children with disabilities are treated. Our son is suicidal. He is on anti depressants to try and calm him - since the age of 11. No one can understand what it is like to make the decision to place an 11 year old on anti depressants unless they have travelled that same road. But it was this or perhaps lose our son.

Things have become so difficult we have been forced to remove our son from school. He is now home schooled. We have begged and pleaded with schools to be more proactive regarding anti bullying strategies. We can no longer leave it to chance.

For the family subject of the video they did not to have the warnings or opportunity to act as we have. We cannot rely on others to save our son. We have no faith in educators. Our experience is that they are full of rhetoric. ]
We have been shamed for daring to remove our son from a school environment. Labelled as bad parents, labelled as the cause of our sons anxiety. We know better. I no longer work so I can be at home for our son. Our choice has come at great financial cost to our family - but we can now sleep at night and no longer have the worry of leaving our child in the most savage and brutal of worlds - junior high school.

I advocate strongly for the rights of those with disabilities.
For families in our situation act, act before it is too late. Do what is best for your disabled child and family, regardless of how others judge you.
