Okay kids, bullying is not cool.

Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 6:47 AM

I'm referring recently to the case of Amanda Todd, who was bullied until she took her own life three days ago. She made a video on YouTube telling her story, you can go watch it if you like but you will be sad, angry and disturbed at the same time.

I really hope that every one who bullied Amanda feels terrible and responsible for her taking her life. I think that criminal charges should be laid against bullies.

And if you're feeling to the point of suicide, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, whatever that light is. There's always help.

And Amanda, wherever you are, I hope you're at peace. Rest in peace.

    I despise bullies. I used to be bullied all through school, until I fought fire with fire. I had quite a reputation for putting bullies in their place at that school. Then when I went to High school I wasn't around that school anymore and they picked on my kid brother. Bullies are like Hemorrhoids after a few treatments of cream they go away but they always seem to try to come back when you drop your guard.

    It's just a matter of time, no matter how he tries. He hears "Plata O Plomo Gringo?" The last words before he dies.

    I always thought schools these days had a 'zero bullying policy'

    Talking I found doesn't work; a bully needs but a small taste of their own medicine. A "Zero Bullying Policy" I find defends the bully more than their victims.

    I was bullied and picked on quite a bit in elementary school, and a little bit in middle school. I can still be insecure today; that shit really sticks with you. But I know kids today have it far worse due to all the social media. My heart breaks for all of them.

    It amuses me that girls get picked on for having big boobs when in school, and yet when they reach college, yeah baby !

    but we should teach the children that the life is hard,that they should fight their way through it.
    they should not fall on the first challenge!!!!

    I like tall girls. I'm tall too so I don't have to bend down as far to hug them.
