RE: Boy, 12, kills himself after 'he was bullied for being the only male cheerleader

I want to lob HIM from my porch.

And he loves me. I babysit him when his parents schedules overlap. I give him "the look", "the voice" and I think I might have given him the finger too. I caught him feeding paper to my dog once. Ugh. He's 7 and I've watched him be a little ass since he was 4.

You know. A couple bungee cords, carefully placed, and you could.

No it's not. I could tell you horror stories about thing I did...

Well, fill us in!
Its not who I am now. I still hurt over the pain I caused to so many people....

We have all made mistakes O4. We learn and grow.

People spend too much time dwelling on the past. I say that to both victims and bullies--although usually it's the victims who can't seem to move on.

Truly, if the defining characteristic of your life is that people were "mean" to you in 8th grade--then you have issues far beyond any bullying.

I agree with that too.

The messages left on DD's voice mail were oddly specific about the ways in which the girls' thought DD should kill herself. They were almost obsessed with planninig it.

They also told her less heinous things, like no one liked her, she was a fake b!tch no one cared about, the school wouldn't notice if she never showed up again...
Huh. I've heard similar things.....

Huh. I've heard similar things as well...quite recently.

But really momma, I think it's difficult to navigate bullies. Your daughter seems well adjusted so you must have taught her good coping skills. Good job!

The worst adult bullying I encountered from my team was they were excluding another manager, one of their peers. I was livid. Everyone of them was eventually fired. I let them know why too. You don't ****ing bully via exclusion on any team of mine EVER. EVER. Still pisses me off. Secret meetings, going out and not inviting her, chatting at a desk and walking away when she came up, sharing info but not with her, helping each other and not her, hiring inadequate and underqualified people and placing them on her team. They were so surprised when I called them out. And denied it. She was pretty sharp though, still did her job better than them. We still stay in touch actually.

Bullying breaks my heart. I have a little beast in the cul de sac who is the bully. I will march out and bitch him out every time I see him beating the **** out of another kid. His parents think he's picked on. I'm amazed that they're so blinded. I've watched this kid hit kids with a stick, kick a little boy in the privates, drag a kid by the hair and my favorite- scream at akid to get off his property, while he was standing in my yard. He's horrible. His parents are in denial.

Could you record this activity to show the parents?

That would be a waste of time Ed. They would just make excuses as to why. The apple rarely falls very far from the tree.
