Daughter came to college for a taster day... it didn't go terribly well, she was overwhelmed.... and after I was able to talk to her it seems that the bullying she has experienced for 4 years at the school she has just left has left more of a mark and more of a vulnerability than I thought...
I guess my thoughts right now are surrounding those who say it's ok to bully and belittle those they perceive weaker than themselves... they say dumb things like well they need to toughen up... and they almost make out that the bullies are doing people a favour... I'd so love to slap some of those bullies right now and maybe slap those who have this horrible thinking too for good measure.
Daughter went back and was able to enjoy the rest of the day... and she should be proud of that but from where I sit I truly cannot see one single positive about bullying.. if you ask me all it's done is hurt her and cause her a lot of misery and, it seems potentially long term effects.
