Sorry but your kidding right. The VICTIM is punished by not enjoying the internet????

If you know the neighbors dog bites you stay away from it. You know the stove top is hot so you don't touch it. You know that knives cut so you don't play with them. So yes if there's a place on the internet where you're being bullied then don't go there and give them the chance to bully you.

This is what I have been waiting to read. This whole time I was reading these posts I was thinking WHERE are the parents. I couldn't stand the thought of my 11 year old being mean to someone, and he just told me this morning that he didn't "feel good" if he was mean to someone and always told them he was sorry if he sounded mean, or thought he might have been mean someway. That made me feel good, like we are trying anyway. He has been a victim though, and laughed when he told me the kid made fun of his shoes (nice Nike's . . .nothing fancy but nice ones) and DS came back and said "is that the best you can do?" and the kid left him alone after that. I think sometimes bullies feel bad about themselves, and this is their way of being powerful. BUT I also totally agree that bullies come from bullies. I know boys like this, and while girls are bullies, I see more arrogance in that sex with the mothers and daughters, with clothes and hair and make up and stuff like that. I had a girl tell me the other day that her hair do was $150. I was thinking of all the hay, feed and supplies I could get for that . . .funny how we are isn't it?

Hi just wanna butt in here

But I think turney has a point

Yea, if you know theres a place peoplr bully, don't go there, but these kids shouldn't keep other children from playing on the web. Number one rule for cyber bullying? The report button is your best friend

Just my two cents

The lack of God in school, is the reason for this mess, AE.

I agree. They do the pledge, but the other Sunday at church (9/11) we sang America the Beautiful, and Star Spangled Banner and do you know I had to stop and think for a second on SSB because we simply do not hear this enough. Sport deals are NOT enough. I do not see where one minute of silence would hurt anyone for any reason. . .and if you don't WANT to pray, then don't.

Remember the old saying, "the family who eats together stays together?" Well, the country that prays together stays together.

Hi again guys,

In an effort to prevent this tread from verring off onto "call in the mods" territory, can we keep religion out of this? Bullying is a very serous problem and there are many people of differents faiths, and/or no faiths at all here on BYC. And I'm afraid if we offend someone, this thread may get closed down and the disscution of such an important topic would be delayed

thanks, -Holly

Not trying to get this off on religion, but, never mind. I will get reprimanded, and I have been good for so long.

And to take the analogies a bit further, if you're being sexually harassed at work, you shouldn't go to work?

Yeah...I didn't think so.

Bullies are to be stopped, NOT avoided.
