I remember vicious bullying when I was in junior high, back in the 70s. One of my daughter’s friends attempted suicide at age 13, due to bullying. I remember the teachers standing by and doing nothing. The inmates were running the asylum. Too much hassle for the teachers, I guess. I don’t expect these workshops to accomplish anything. They’re just window dressing, or the means to another end.
I’m 48 I went to tough NY schools and never thought of killing myself when I was “called out” or made fun of. We were tough it was different times. Our children have been make to become pawns of the ACLU. What joke I feel sorry for my children.
