more proof that schools are fucked up

[sio]

one student sees bullies harassing a disabled girl on the school bus. she reports it to the bus driver, repeatedly. nothing is done. she reports it to an official at her school. the official says they will pass on the report because the bullies and their victim go to a different school. nothing is done. she finally tells the bullies to knock

Wow. This sounds just like my experience of being bullied as a kid. Some things never change!

Every time I read shit like this, it makes me "thankful" that I didn't get in trouble when I finally stood up to the guys bullying/sexually harassing/molesting me.

Some of those comments... ugh. Even when schools do have the funding and staff, they still let shit happen. Mostly because they themselves are assholes.

This is why everytime I hear some anti-bully message saying "Find an adult" I roll my eyes, because most of the time the "adults" don't give a shit.

I hope the parents of the disabled girl and the senior who did the right thing sue the school, the bus driver and the those little hell spawns' parents

Yea, every time I found an adult, I was made to sit in detention (which was a chair facing the inside of a refrigerator box, and you weren't allowed to lean down, do homework, talk, nothing. Just stare into the box).

Get punched in the stomach? Sit in the box for three days straight.

Yell when someone is pulling your hair? Box.

Start crying because people stole your shoe and it got thrown away with the garbage because you couldn't find it? Box.

I was glad when I was in high school and detention changed from box to sitting at a desk doing homework.
