quote:sorry but how does teaching a kid to fight back (which i agree with, btw) help in this case?
Gotta teach kids how to hit back. Pop a bully in the teeth with a pair of well-hidden brass knucks and I guarantee the problem is solved
This. When I was young there was a kid in the next subdivision that was a bully. He bullied most of the kids around. He got me one day playing out back one day, cornered me, harassed me, slapped me around, etc. I go home with my tail between my legs like a little bitch and told my mom. She chewed me out and told me to stand up for myself. A couple of weeks later, after finding out he bullied another friend of mine, I went to his house and told him I was there to fight. He got the better of me, but I got some licks in. Within a month we were best friends. I realized he had a rough life, his step dad and his brother beat on him all the time. I got him to stop bullying other people though. He was the best man in my wedding a few years ago. All that happened back in 1982 or so.
who's she going to fight if she doesn't even know who it is?

yeah i doubt helicopter parenting and participation medals led to this.
You know who kills themselves the most per 100k people?
Adults aged 45-64. They do so at nearly 10 times the clip of kids age 10-14.

with a girl? You want your daughter "popping a bully with brass knuckles"? How will she do with a criminal charge for using brass knuckles.
Yeah, cuz the outcome that happened is better?
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

So you'd tell a teenage girl in 2016 to bring a pair of brass knuckles to school and hit someone who was bullying her? No, the answer is for parents to pay attention to their kid's lives and don't allow them to turn into bullying assholes.

How did the bullies get her new number? Something doesn't add up.
BUT assuming the story is accurate as presented, I'm sure it's easy to get the number.

I hope every one of the "bullies" is reminded of their actions every single day of their lives.

quote:So fricking sad. Most of the type bullying is a transference of anger onto a weaker person. This is a perfect example. I bet the stepdad beat the older brother so the older brother beat him. Add in the stepdad beating him too and it probably almost drove the poor guy crazy as a kid. I really want to punch the damn stepdad in the fricking face repeatedly
I realized he had a rough life, his step dad and his brother beat on him all the time.

I agree with you.

No, the answer is for parents to pay attention to their kid's lives and don't allow them to turn into bullying a-holes.

Adults aged 45-64. They do so at nearly 10 times the clip of kids age 10-14.
so that's why, for me, to tell a teenager to just simply get off FB or social media is puzzling. that's like telling your kids to quit going outside or quit going to the park in the 90's or some shite.

Agreed, but the popular theme in this thread is to blame the victim.
All of these things she should have done and zero focus on the real problem.

Now if that happens, you may get somone in facebook talking about how this chick dumped you, tag 50
This. Word travels so fast now through social media. A picture or comment can reach hundreds of kids at once in one school and lead to awful humiliation.

no kidding
So beyond having her number changed, do you think her parents fricked up by not making her get rid of her phone/social media accounts and living as a recluse?

BUT this situation seems far too different to expect a comparable outcome.

I wonder if the bullies' parents knew they were mean pieces of shite?
Many times they don't until they get the call from a school administrator. Working at a school you will find parents who are shocked their child was acting the way they were towards someone else.

Yeah this thread is pretty pathetic, yet expected.
This girl isn't the problem, the bullies are.

Because suicide is a selfish and despicable act especially when you have a shitty reason to do it? Severe depression, mental health issues, or crazy painful incurable disease I can maybe start to be a little more empathetic. But because someone said mean things to you? I feel bad for her friends and family because they are the biggest losers in all this. They have to go on living after she did the most selfish thing possible in life.

basically anything that would connect her to friends/family, she should get off of right?
i mean, isn't social media today's playground?
