Bullying; DAY 2

Isn't it sad, when someone can't even tell a higher authority about the abuse he's been taking all year long?

Yesterday, i suggested that he pay a trip to the guidance office. Whether they'd actually do anything or not. It couldn't hurt. Today, at the start of 4th, immediately the ridicule starts again. This time based on "why would he tell?" The "innocent ones" asked away. The poor soul getting yelled at and yelled at. (The teacher's in the hallway at this time.) When they let up, i ask him. Did he go? That's when he comes closer, looks around cautiously, and dips his head.
"can you keep a secret?" He asks me. I nod my head, as he goes into how [our school's favorite saying] "snitches get stitches" scares him. He's afraid they'll get him if he tells.

>wow. So, now.. what would you do?
yikes.


always,

See, this is one reason why I have no respect for higher authority, ever.
It's pathetic. When you try and help, nothing happens.

You speak up.

It'll take courage, but don't you think it's time to stop standing by, watching silently? Stand up to the bullies and defend this poor soul. Another option would be to document in writing the bullying and send it to the principal. Keep a copy and if nothing is done, send another letter (along with the copy of what you sent the principal) to the Superintendent and School Board. Stand up for those who can't or won't defend themselves.

If you need someone to go with you, I will.

well, i have. and i would've said something to someone sooner, but i was hoping he would take my advice and do it himself. but.. idk. a friend and i are going tomorrow.

yep, we most certainly are. because quite honestly, if i have to sit there and watch those freakos do that to him again. . . lets just say they are not going to have such pretty faces anymore. in other words. someone besides the one being bullied is going to get seriously H.U.R.T!!
something needs to be done. even if it means i have to defend him myself.

Do it anyway. No one deserves to be made fun of seriously, even a little bit.
