...talking about bullying because I just read this article.
I'm not gonna say a lot, if only because everyone has been hearing it everywhere wherever you are. Bottom line is, bullying is not and should NEVER be "acceptable behavior". Not only because teenagers have killed themselves over it (although that is a good enough reason all by itself) but because in a culture that is trying to spout messages of diversity and acceptance and tolerance, where are these kids learning that it is ok to tease someone else because they are different? Kids are not "inherently" mean. They mimic the behavior that they see in the adults that they care about or maybe on a TV show that those adults let them watch.
Seriously? Pay some f^*%ing attention to what your kids are learning. Because if your kid tries to tell my kid that he's a [insert insult here] because of his personal tastes or the way he looks? You can bet that it's not your kid I'll be tracking down.
