Bullying is not new, it's been around for every generation, however, the difference now is, is that it seems to have gotten more evil and vindictive and with the internet a lot easier.<br /><br />It has to be taken serious by schools and the authorities. The future of a bully is most probably riding in a Hell's Angel's gang, because after all, a bully is just a coward who joins other cowards to find strength in their bullying in numbers.<br /><br />I believe there should be one strike and you're out, if this happens in schools and I hope the law gets a lot tougher on bullying as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773415227404144444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178868782213483166.post-18753759673903023092010-03-03T15:38:51.658-08:002010-03-03T15:38:51.658-08:00Meant to say sick to my stomach.

It almost made me cry to read it. The tears bordered. It's so sad that kids can be so mean these days, especially to each other. May God bless this man and help him heal his aching heart through his ministry to others. No telling how many others will be helped. Thanks for this information.

Once you got home, bullying was done. It only took place outside the home. Bullying trancends the boundries of privacy for children now, even adults can now be bullied. The internet, cell phones, twitter et al can encompass a dirty little world that in this day and age should really come to a halt. I applaud the father for leaving his job and speaking on behalf of not only his son, but for those children that are still left out there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312436417635168425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178868782213483166.post-74509213967861338242010-02-24T09:57:53.149-08:002010-02-24T09:57:53.149-08:00The family will never be the same as he said.
