I agree with the Father on the panel I have a grand daughter that was being bullied by her teacher she was seven years old she would get so sick when it was time to go to school and her mother did not no what to do she went to the school to talk to the teacher then it got worse, then I decided to visit the school when i got there and went to the class room she was pulling her hair and telling her to set down that day she used the bathroom on her self I was so upset I walk in the room and asked what was she doing she told me that she was trying to get her from twisting her hair I went to the office and reported it and nothing was ever done she did not bother her any more but she did put paper over her door so you could not see in her class she could have been doing it to other kids to. And as for Mr. Bengel bulling been around for a long time and it was bad back then and I am 48 years old and I seen it when I was in school they just called it suicid without looking into the reason why the kid killed them self.
It is a shame that after media awareness and legal actions, bullying continues to make the lives of many students miserable. Unless campus management directly involves and introduces severe punishments to those who bulley, it is impossible to eliminate this evil.
As the Headmaster of Delhi Charter School in Delhi, Louisiana from 12/05-6/12(seven years), I have dealt with many bullying issues at that school. There was not enough proactive and disciplinary support at our school during my tenure. As a Master’s Degreed Clinical Psychologist, I must say that much more emphasis should be put on the prevention of bullying in our schools. I had to serve as the guidance counselor and disciplinarian at our school. My son was a student at our school during my tenure as the Headmaster, and he did not tell me until after he had graduated how much he had been bullied at our school. Shame on the Administration, Board Members, faculty, and politicians for not taking a more proactive, punitive approach to bullying.
I just happened to tune in to your program about bullying Saturday, Sept. 1. My children are grown, but I have elementary aged grandchildren so bullying is a concern to me. The program was informational from many views. Hopefully we will all start listening to the young people in our lives and prayerfully address this social epidemic then take action for the welfare of the next generation. Too many have been lost to this insensitivity and lack of respect. Thank you for airing this program. I am one person that has been inspired to make a difference even if it’s for one child’s welfare.
I personally was never physically bullied or tossed into dumpsters, but I definitely was verbally and socially bullied. I remember one time someone screamed ‘fag’ at me in the hallway, and I screamed back, ‘Yeah, but can you spell it?’ Everyone in the hallway laughed at the other kid; it was nice to reverse the abuse.
A thoughtful article about one topic, which will plague us for a long time to come. It is truly a shame that after so many activities, bullying is still an essential part of school life. It is good to see that someone is trying to make a difference even it is through a small excerpt of text. Hopefully, in the future we will be able to understand each other better, and will be able to put an end to this constantly ongoing problem. Great job for the article. Let’s see if it will reach the right ears for its message.
Bullying is wrong no matter who is doing it. It is very important for us as a society to stand up to these people to enable a fair environment for everyone.
