Yet More on Bullies.

[jamesq]

Yeah, I know I've had a lot to say about this subject. Here's a better writer then I making the points better:

Also, can we stop telling said tormented kids that the correct response is to ignore the bullies? Has that ever, in the entire history of weirdo kids and the aggressive little shits who enjoy hurting them, actually made a bully stop?

Go read the whole thing. And if you're telling kids to ignore it - stop being part of the fucking problem.

my fave was always "what did YOU do to make them tease, torment, bug you?" as if it was my fault I was being bullied.
Totally agree on the linked post man.
