Teach your kids to be strong. Friend of one of my kids committed suicide.

Apparently her friends "cut her off," to include the main bully telling her that she should just kill herself. And she did. 13 years old.

I hope that my kids never feel so unloved at home that they can't tell these fricks to frick off and know that we've got their back.

Told my daughter that these pukes project their miserable lives and don't deserve your acknowledgment. If she's ever bullied, ignore it. If it gets bad, we will handle it. If it gets REALLY bad, we can change schools in a day. Nothing is worth being miserable.

Make sure your kids know they are loved, folks, and that school drama is not forever drama. I can't fathom what these parents are going thru.

If your kid is a bully, you need to cut that shite out.

That is just awful. These kids today deal with so much more than we had to growing up in the 70s and 80s. Prayers for this poor child's family and friends

kids can be downright monsters, and the tricky part is that some parents don't know about it or never see that side of them.

i agree with the gist of what you are saying but everyone should be taught to find their strength and identity in Christ.

Christ I hate hearing about these situations. I really wish that at a certain age, kids could be held accountable for this.

So very sorry for your child. Bullying is worse today than years ago because of cell phones and social media. Back in the day once you left school that was kinda it (I know I'll have some smooth brain tell me that someone rode a bike 15 miles to bully someone).

I know we give youngsters a lot of crap for having it easy, but I cannot imagine being a teenager in the era of social media. It must be pure hell.

And while communicating with your kid is great, you really have to watch them for subtle signs of depression because it’s natural for teenagers to not want to open up to their parents.

We are raising kids in an unnatural world.

Shitty kids are just a reflection of their parents in a vast majority of cases

I had a bully in middle school. We had just moved and I knew nobody. This fricker latched on to me and would not stop. He was older and way bigger and he had a posse so it was always 4 against 1.

the difference was, nobody else knew about it. Eventually I made friends and they picked me up. It wasn’t plastered all over social media and it didn’t stigmatize me.

I can’t imagine what kids today go thru

A young family member of mine did the same a couple weeks ago...I saw a saying that really struck a chord with me right after...appropriate here too.

She quit because she was too gentle to live in a world full of wolves....

People need to learn to be kind..Its not hard, and it is not a sign of weakness. Quite the opposite.....

Man, I can’t imagine what those parents must be going through. I hope they can find some level of peace eventually.

I think that most kids who are bullies are that way because their parents are the type of people who will not get them to cut that shite out.

We all need to check ourselves. Don’t say this is awful and then go and blast some college kid or even his girlfriend for making a stupid whorish mistake. That is social bullying to the utmost extent.

What if the boy couldn’t take it anymore and offed himself? You’d all move on to the next story to post your witty one liners without a worry in the world lives were ruined.

Glass house!

Boys bust balls and fight.. and friends again 2 days later


Girls are flat out vicious and psychologically mean...

You cannot win with Jr High/ HS girls.

Fat - you get picked on
Attractive - you get picked on
Short -you get picked on
Tall - you get picked on
Nice - you get picked on

Etc

Yep, kids have a lot tougher time escaping it now. They can literally be bullied at all hours of the day.

You buy them the phone. You approved the app download. You gave your permission to open an account (under 13 cannot legally accept Terms of Service.) Have some agency, parents. Your wives are dumping Life360 on everything under the sun, but nobody is paying attention to Snapchat, etc.
