I never thought my teenage daughter could or would be a bully. But she proved me wrong today. I recievced a phone call after school from what I thought was her friends mother. She was very upset and I couldnt blame her. Apparently my daughter with a couple of other girls decided to bully this girl I thought was their friend. Oh how girls can turn on each other in a second. I DO NOT TOLERATE BULLYING! Not from my children. This is a very sensitive matter in my home because of my son that is autistic. He went through the 12 years of school being tortured by kids that were cruel and mean. So this in its self mad me very upset with her. Apparently these girls called this girl fat and told her she could never be a cheerleader because of her weight and she wasnt pretty enough. They all decided to push her out of the seat on the bus and just keep saying mean things to her. But that didnt make me quite as upset to find out they decided to spit spitballs at her. My daughter knows better. She knows not to humilate someone since she herself has been humilated in front of people. To hurt someones feelings to the point they cry is unacceptable and to do this just because the girl callled you a brat is unacceptable. That is just a word and when it fits who you are then it shouldnt make you angry. This teenage girl has a sweet disposition and that made her an easy target. They knew she wouldnt fight back or make them feel bad about themselves. The little mouses in the world seem to catch the most bullying. Though some parents will say they are just being girls and it will all be fine tomorrow as I was told by one mother. There is no ou cant not tell your children its ok to hurt and humilate other kids. Wrong is wrong. BULLYING someone is wrong. It is the responibility of the parent to raise their children to respect other people no matter how different they are. There is no excuse for BULLYING! No its not joking or kidding around, its not just being kids it is and always will be BULLYING! No matter how you label it. My daughter is being She had to go to the girls house and apoligize to the girl and her mom. She is grounded, no TV no cell phone (that shattered her world), she can not play video games,she can not go anywhere with her friends for 1month. Am I being harsh I dont think so. I am trying to make her understand everyone has feelings everyone hurts and words last forever. You can say you are sorry but that doesnt erase the words you say to someone that hurts them. Is she mad at me? No, I think she sees how much pain she caused this girl, will she do it again? I can only hope not. Dd she learn her lesson? Only time will tell. Think before you bullying someone put yourself in their shoes- You never know it might be you being the one BULLIED next time!
