Kids do as kids are taught. If the home setting does nothing to educate the kids of todays surroundings and how to deal with and accept them, then its a waste. For all of those with kids, do us all a favor. For just a fraction of time in your busy schedule, take the time to TALK to your kids. Turn the TV off, put down the cell phone, put the ipad/ipod down, hit the pause button on the video game, etc. These devices that are used to preoccupy the mind of children are not teaching them anything. Parents, turn off The Bachelor, American Idol, The Biggest Loser, etc. and turn on your kids minds.

it'll be fixed now that the fed's are on it...pffffffffffff

I can tell from one post someone is still wrapped up in their self.

It is easy to see from reading some of these comments that ignorance is alive and well.

Good post Butch, the whole thing is very over rated to me. I raised two girls that would have kicked some ass before allowing something to get to this stage.

Great opinion piece from a Central High student re: gay rights. http://tigernewspaper.net/?p=3072

People want to put to much on teachers these days. Parents have to learn how to read their child's reactions to things. An ability most parents have lost. A thing parents could do is see their children also get a little work out of the house. As they sit and play on the computer or video games it is not exercise enough. As the old saying goes work the mind the body gets weak. We have to go back to doing both. What does that have to do with any thing. All species cut out the weak. Even humans. We entered our grandchildren in Martial arts classes. Never had one to be bullied or do any.

Are you serious...bullying has been with us since.Cain and Abel...is it different now than then of course it is every "case' is different...but in the end it is the same bad behavior exhibited in those times...we see bullying everyday...cops bully civilians...town council's bully Mayors...Obama bullies everybody...bosses bully workers....bosses bully workers to the point that people die on the job...really...what is that if not bullying...when people die on the job...stand up for yourself...folks...really the bullying will stop...stand up and be a person...not a doormat...do what it takes to make it stop...period...make no mistake here in what i'm saying...do what it takes to MAKE IT STOP....governments do it everyday....yes i'm talking about violence...ball up your fist and explode it on a bully's nose....kick scream scratch bite....do what it takes to make it stop...as i am gonna do in the upcoming general elections....yes i'm serving notice...Obama and the Democrats and the"Rules for Radicals" are not going to be tolerated...petty thug beauracrats...are not going to be tolerated...taking my America and changing it to suit your twisted ideals...IS NOT GOING TO BE TOLERATED...nuff said

PEOPLE REALLY DONT CARE ANYMORE , YES THE TEACHERS DO NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION BUT THE KIDS ALSO NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER IT WAS THE SAME WHEN I WAS GROWING UP PEOPLE BEING BULLIED BUT OTHER KIDS ALSO STEPPED UP TO HELP IF NOT THEN THE PARENTS DID do the parents not care anymore either , Teach their children to not bully its society doing this its not like some 1st graders come up with some of the mean things they say on their own open your eyes people WE are doing this to our children pay more attention and raise them to know respect , and how to make good choices if I heard my children were bullying I would make sure they would never want to hurt anyones feelings again , but if i hear my babies are being bullied SO HELP THAT BULLY AND THEIR PARENTS I WILL MAKE SURE THAT ANY WHERE AROUND MY CHILDREN BULLYING STOPS !!! And mabe when my children have children they will have a no bully tolerance !!! I CAN ONLY HOPE !!!!

Back in the day, teachers were more likely to discipline children for "acting ugly" towards each other....Todays "rights" goes way too far. I called a school and asked the principal if my ggrandsons' classroom had the "bully' sign in it..She said "yes"....I said 'I WISH YOU WOULD REMIND THE TEACHERS TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHO IS BEING BULLIED".
