Bullying to me has a kind of connotation … of kids misbehaving.

Just add that statement to the long, long list of Things I Fucking Hate about Fucking Stephen Harper.

seriously he's got a serious case of verbal diarrhea

okay i admit to not knowing what all sorts of other stupid things he's said (since i'm American and not Canadian), but he goes on to point out that bullying should be called what it really is: criminal behavior. unlike the officials at the schools, who blow it off and blame the victim even after said victim ends up dead.

so may i ask why you're adding this to the hate list?

Yeah, I don't really understand either.

Oh fuck him and his late to party condescending victim blaming bullshit. Fuck him.

I would looooove it if people would stop qualifying their responses to these stories with "as a parent." How about as a human fucking being? It should sicken you on a basic human level that a seventeen year old child took her own life.

Whatever Harper, go smother a cat.

As if Harper doesn't want to just throw all young people in prison for smaller crimes so they can learn even more ways to rape and be horrible. Blugh.
