It definitely starts at home but we need legislation to be in place to protect people privacy, especially since everyone has access to a video camera now.Joihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538426443510636704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444706757078939541.post-89545671201538560362010-10-07T08:14:37.761-04:002010-10-07T08:14:37.761-04:00It is so tragic to think something like this could...It is so tragic to think something like this could happen...and way too often lately! I feel so sorry for the family and friends and for the young lives that have been lost for no good reason. We need to rid ourselves of hate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444706757078939541.post-82736077608383002122010-10-06T23:27:36.994-04:002010-10-06T23:27:36.994-04:00This is an article and a topic that I have read ov...This is an article and a topic that I have read over and over again lately. All of the children that are taking their lives as the result of bullying is absolutely horrible. Something has to be done. <br /><br />I believe with all my heart that teachers, administrators, and parents need to be more aware of what is going on in their children's lives, in their schools, and in their peer groups. I also think that we need to start speaking out when we see people being bullied. So many people turn a blind eye and don't want to get involved. We need to start stepping in and speaking up for these kids who so often feel they have no voice. <br /><br />There have to be stricter consequences for bullying. There needs to be a movement to make compassion "cool" so that people don't feel they need to put others down to build themselves up.<br /><br />Sorry I know this is a long comment but it's something that has me really heated and hurting at the moment. I was lucky enough to never suffer from bullying...but I know that's rare these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
