Is it any wonder that bullied kids bring weapons to school when the detestable faculty does nothing about bully behaviors that would be prosecutable felonies if done amongst adults? Nope, no wonder at all. Also no wonder that some of these bullied kids go on to commit suicide. There has to be a cha... |

For me a dream vacation would be a few weeks in a cabin in the mountains with my husband where there are no distractions, phone, comp, tv, people knocking on the door etc. Now that would be ideal. |

All kids need protection from bullies, but that isn't going to happen until the punishments become more severe. A mere detention is in no way a fitting punishment, how about expulsion for these kids, then that gets the parents involved as the school isn't just a babysitter for junior at the end of t... |
