Why is a seeming increase in bullying-related suicides occurring - in what seems simultaneously to me - with the large increased public and school attention to bullying in recent years. Is it possible that some high amount of the attention to bullying is having the opposite affect from making bullying victims feel stronger, and instead making them pity themselves even more? Just wondering with the patterns I think I see in this issue. No numbers, just a sense.

Well....When you put kids in a situation where losing a fight causes your parents to ridicule you, it’s easy to lose hope. They encourage you to fight and then call you a punk if you don’t stomp the other kid into a greasy spot.

We have a sub-nation of feral, violent animals and it transcends race. These hillbillies up here are the same way. We had to close the Denny’s here because of it. Cops have to come to the funeral home to prevent brawls between redneck families.
