Bullying is a topic dear to my heart. It's heartening to see it get the attention it deserves, finally.
When I was young, teachers generally just told me that if I wouldn't let it upset me, the kids would stop doing it. That kids would be kids.
It's ridiculous. I'd have liked to see if "teachers will be teachers" would fly in the teachers lounge if they were met in their employment by the same abuse and harassment that kids are met with in their "employment" of school.
I hold teachers, school administration, employers, and site administration to be responsible for providing an environment that is vigilant and timely in discouraging bullying.
