Nothing Changed since I went to school. The Abuse has just gotten worst.

      I use to think it could not get any worst.  The Abuse,   I took as child for being the fat kid in my school.  I was miseriable from the second, I first entended that school as kindergarter to the moment to the I graduated from highschool.  My life was may a living hell.
  
    But, Now I watch Oprah,   The Show,s name was "The truth about Bullying".   It was about mother who tried to do everything right .  Contacting the schools.  Talkng to teacher and counselor to  get their kids help.   But, the kids hanged  themselves because they are being picked because they are fat.  The abuse is so bad that 10 and 12 year olds are killing themselves. The Abuse is starting at a younger and younger age and it not just one kid doing the bulling but, The whole school.  Teacher are doing nothing about it.  

  Teachers know  which kids are being picked on.    But, They do nothing untill someone get hurt phyically. And The one who get in trouble is usually the kid who gets picked on.  Because ,He goes crazy finally and goes off on someone.  So  now the bully parents are calling wanting the victum punished.

     We need to change the laws in every state to protect children from being Bully.
Or to at less get the victums some help.
  
        

Yep. I first had a problem with it in kindergarten, although my mom made sure to lay down the law for the little jerk that was acting that way to me. LOL But then a few years later, I had some problems with people in 4th grade and then in 6th grade when I entered middle school. It just made going to school hell for me.

High school was better in a way. It was more that I was sort of invisible, which I know is funny to say being that the issue was my weight! But that's how it was.

I haven't had a problem in college yet, luckily.

I was relatively  thin 'till 10th grade.  My classmates tortured me too.  I can't imagine having to have gone through that kind of ABUSE as a small child, it's horrible.  KIds are the worst offenders...there is no parenting anymore.  Teachers are afraid to discipline students.  Parents side with their kids 75% of the time.  My sister was a teacher and heavy...she QUIT her job because of how the kids picked on her!!!  She taught highschool biology and Earth Science.  She would come home crying!  Ridiculous.

This is so serious. I seriously thought since....well it seems like differences are more accepted in the schools now than when I was in school. But I guess not.  I know someody that tried to kill herself 2x in the last 4 weeks. When I talked to her on the phone during the second attempt(she had already taken the pills and I thought she was just sleepy and I had called her during my lunch to check on her)she said she was tired of being ugly and fat and that she wasnt ever going to have a boyfriend and on and on. It is hurt breaking...I mean it makes me hurt feel like it crying to hear her talk like that...knowing that it is probably from things she has been teased about.

I think it needs to be part of the hate crimes. At 400 lbs you experience so much ACCEPTABLE prejudice...jobs, homes, healthcare, redicule, etc..and nothing is really done about it. I alway knew about it from my own personal experiences. However, since the world doesn't see me as super morbid obese anymore, they think it is safe to share their opinions about SMO with me......until I let them have. When did being overweight become the WORSE thing in the world? worse than a drug addict, alcoholic, woman beater. A drug addict can introduce his SMO, working, independent, cute, and smart girlfriend to his family and he is still better than her...WTF  

    A teenage boy have his hand chopped off than have to date a fat teenage girl.

Not all teachers know who is doing the bullying...and guess what -- sometimes their hands are tied, by parents.

You may believe that teachers have eyes in the back of their heads, can read minds, have supersonic hearing, as well as the ability to see what the students are dong at lunch and on the playground  --- but they don't. 

My sister is a teacher, one of her students was bullying some of the others...it too****il after Christmas for her to find out what was happening.  She tried to get it to stop...she called the parents and was told to stick to teaching and they'd stick to raising their kid...and the other kid must have started it.

The student was written up so many times and suspended that the parents came in and said they would take the school to court for harrassment and withholding education to their son, because by suspending him, they had to take time off work to stay home and they were taking to much time off work. 

My sister did everthing she could...but guess what she's not there to be a police officer, a parent or a babysitter.  She's there to teach kids...and it's getting harder and harder with parents that ignore the issue and put the blame on everyone else rather than themselves for raising such a brat.

I'm not blaming the victim -- although I hope she did more than just talk to the school, I hope she went to the police, took the kids to an outside therapist. Regardless...you can't blame the school or the teacher any more than you can blame the CEO of a company when someone kills themself due to work overload and stress. 

Bullying doesn't stop in school...it's everywhere.
