Why does it seem that the cause has been misidentified . . . ?

My Little Pony? “He dances everywhere..”? Sounds like that kid was in for a “challenging” life even without his current situation.

The comic book and star trek nerds who were beat up in school and teased in gym class never made headlines.

Neither did the computer nerds who were victimized by their peers.

Nor the fat kids.

Just those who may be light in their loafers.

I loathe the pink pravda media.

The Evil Pink Pony put him under a spell.

Maybe some pilots could visit his school or at least contact the kid and give him a patch...

“The class patch for a new batch of Air Force pilots plays on the show ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’”

No matter how he reacts to the bullying he’ll be suspended.

I have a kid in my Troop that’s a big fan. Brightest kid, by a country mile, in my Troop.

His Dad is a former Army Ranger. My committee chair and I just set the kid up with a laptop crammed full of the very latest development tools available from Microsoft. We also have him set up for Cisco Engineer certification.

The goal? He gets his GED and coins at being an IT guy. Having a very rough time in middle school right now, and he’s one of the best kids I know.

“He’s the kid that never walks. He dances everywhere,...He’s so full of energy. He’s always on the move.”

Sounds more like he has severe behavior control issues. The My Little Pony fixation is just a distraction.

People are shocked when the unnatural are treated as such.

I know the middle school years are tough, and peer pressure is overwhelming, but if you’re going to profess your love for My Little Pony and dance everywhere you go, you’d better have a thick skin. You have every right to do those things, just as other people have the right to point out that’s not the norm.

Probably an assumption on my part; but I seriously doubt the poor kid has a father at home.

Fatherless homes have ruined America.

Prayers up for the poor kid.

I don’t care if he likes My Little Pony.

My sis loved my electric trains...what’s the difference?

I read the article. The problem isn't with the kid, but his parental figures. "I'm not mad, don't blame the bullies, etc etc etc."

Also, a "Step-Dad" is mentioned and quoted. No Dad.

I wonder if the child has been told anything of God. That could help.

Abolish school, the longest-running hoax of all time.

Bullies and their parents should be jailed.

Dealing with bullying is one sided. Going after bullies. While this should be done, it is just as important to teach kids to DEAL WITH bulling. Why a kid is being bullied will likely continue, bullies will always exist, why not teach kids how to deal with it? “Education” is key to preventing and dealing with bullying. A combined curriculum for bullies and victims should be mandatory for all students.

An 11-year-old boy is in the hospital after trying to commit suicide—the victim of bullying at school.

"Bullying" seems to be the new catch-all phrase for all aberrant and self destructive behavior in kids these days........

I suspect the real reason is negligent parental guidance and addiction to electronics that allow the kids to avoid the necessary interaction with others in the outdoor world that allows their minds to expand and experiment............
