it is amazing to me that peope think that bullying is a joke ot isnt a joke it s extemely serious
Hoenestly, there are so many people who believe that bullying is a part of ones self growth. In fact, this type of hatred and assualt on a young person can create lond term effects on young adults. These children are just starting to understand thier emotions. People who think that this type of behaviour is a part of growing up need to understand the long term effects on a young adults progression through life. It has already been proven that in some situations of abuse (bullying) PTSD has manifested itself.
Domestic violence also a form of bullying was a victim for several years it is not a joke so right

Ok people. Straight from a day care in tallahassee florida. A little heaven child care....whatever more like hell child care. . My 4 year old son got beat up by 3 boys. Kicked in neck stomach twice. Nobody told me. Couldnt understand y my son was freakin out when i would drop him off at day care.it was awful. Screamin. Yellin. I was worried... After 3 weeks a teacher told me what happened. I removed my kids from there after the so called christian teacher went pshychotic on me as i pulled them out (guess she was losing money). 3 months of therapy. He suffered from post traumatic stress. It sucks. It s sad. He is doing better. But am on the edge if i hear anybody messing with him like Ty at 11 killed himself. God. Its horrible....lets help youth

The air u breeze????god i dont wish u to get your kids bullied on or kill themselves cause they feel misunderstood and alone. Am gona make sure my kids open up to me about everything.....god bless
Shelly jo. Dont wish u to get bullied and feel misunderstood and helpless. Watch your words. U very judgmental. God bless
My son was bullied and did get beat up once by three boys. He came to me and I told him how to protect himself and he did after that and has had no problems since. But he is a straight WHITE boy and there is NO help for the white male in todays society. Now if he was black, gay, mexican, or a girl then it all of a sudden makes it a hate crime and just like now everyone has to hear about the discriminating hate crime. All of you who wait until the gays, blacks, mexicans, indians, or women kill them selves before you say something should all enjoy your future in Hell when you racist bigots die!!
I have never understood why parents leave their young child with a stranger like day care centers. Certainly the money you save isn't worth the risk. As far as bullying goes...kids are like sponges that absorb what's around them. If your child is exposed to a lot of violence like spousal abuse or violent video, this will be absorbed. After some time, the violence that went in will come back out in the form of, for one example....bullying. big monsters make little monsters. little monsters cannot make themselves.
