This post was from another date; I'm not down in the dumps today.
I am down in the dumps today. At least one of my grandchildren is being bullied at school. I know why bullying exists, but it doesn't make me any less upset about it. I believe people who bully are insecure themselves and it makes them feel like they have power, are in control of their own mind/life to pick on other children. That does not make it right. Take a kid with everything going for him/her. Good grades, great family. How much bullying can that kid bear? Is he the one who shoots people in their school? Or takes drugs and succumbs to an overdose? We surely don't know, but we do know that bullying is unacceptable. Parents need to be aware if their child is being bullied, or if their child is the one bullying, and then do something about it. The schools do, too.
