I was raised in a thinking environment, but still reacted when necessary, physically. Not because it was what I wanted to do (well, most the time ![]() I have yet to meet a kid who hasn't reacted physically when pushed (verbally) to the limits of their tolerance, even the sweet young ladies of kindergarten. It may be a push, a shove, throwing something. It is still a physical response.

![]() No problem. Herding cats is easier than teaching little kids how to deal with verbal bullying, though.

The adults in the schools are vigilant, and their over-educated response is to apply sweet reason to the bullies who enjoy tormenting others and are thus impervious to reason, and to victims who don't need to hear it, and get no benefit from it. Add to that the the wussified school system uses "punishments" like suspensions, which are useless against kids who revel in ignorance. Violence is never a good answer, but the World being what it is, it is often the best answer available.

![]() Unbelievable that a 10-year-old would even have the wherewithal to kill herself.
I remember when I was middle-school aged (older than this child) sometimes being so angry or sad that I wished I would just never wake up again... but even then, some superstitious instinct would kick in and I'd take back the wish, lest it actually come true. It's hard to imagine a child this young believing there was no hope, no future. When I hear about these bullied children, I always wonder why they don't just run away- steal money from their moms' purses and hop a Greyhound to anywhere. Whether they got very far or not, at least things would have to change after that. I wish they'd try other things- anything and everything, no matter how extreme- before arriving at this final solution. |
