For many, it's the worst time of their life and not acknowledging that might lead them to believe it won't get any better.

We've had issues here. You're right, middle school--7th and 8th grade--is a big time of insecurity about looks, personalities, and figuring out who they are. Vulnerable age.<br /> <br />Bullys tend to grow up and many use more subtle tactics in the work place. I've been on the receiving end of that. Let's just say, me and that job parted ways once I saw the lay of the land. Wasn't worth the stress. <br /><br />Good article!<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-75661362341813151082015-04-21T21:08:39.454-04:002015-04-21T21:08:39.454-04:00I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that ...I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that trying to make them feel bad about themselves makes it worse :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063165966816632456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-20158526299177088592015-04-21T17:19:33.397-04:002015-04-21T17:19:33.397-04:00Oh wow.

People have already said the teachers won't do anything about it. Some parents have had to put their kids in private school to get away from it. That's way too expensive for most people. It's amazing how much words can hurt.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-74768911436730615212015-04-21T14:03:35.067-04:002015-04-21T14:03:35.067-04:00It would be nice to have justice.

The bullies should be handed over to the police and action should be initiated according to law. <br /><br />Spy cameras should be installed in schools and colleges so that bullies can be caught red handed. <br /><br />Parents should encourage their children to talk about their school activities. If a child reports about internet or mobile bullies, the parents should take it seriously and do something to stop the menace.<br /><br />I am very sorry that a young life was lost due to bullies. I hope the police will register a case against the bullies for abetting suicide and severe punishment will be given.<br /><br />Best wishesJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-61464743366251021652015-04-21T10:22:55.344-04:002015-04-21T10:22:55.344-04:00I feel your passion, Sherry.
