Once might be just words. But hearing it systematically - like every day, or from an authority figure, is bullying. - Roger More Oct 4, 11:38 3
- or how about people stealing and breaking your belongings? -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:41 2
  - well, that is an actual crime, so..... nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:42 1
    - not as if you can do anyting about it, your life will become an even worse hell. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:43
There are all sorts of studies that show how harmful bullying is on development. Keep in mind that kids brains are not fully developed and they don't - pmb Oct 4, 11:32 22
- Here's an article on the subject. - pmb Oct 4, 11:36
- fact: the part of the brain that understands 'consequences' isn't fully developed till you are 25. they don't have perspective like we do. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:36
- I really do find this fascinating. - groiny Oct 4, 11:35 19

    - well, we are not exactly the target demo for bullying. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:44

        Shut it! -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:40
      - not helping! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:38
    - what else do you call it? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:37 10
      - "grade school", or just "elementary school" if you're specifically talking the first 5 or 6 grades. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:38 8
        
        curious. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:39 7

        not in my world it is not. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:42 5
        
        the south side is a different world, for sure -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:44 4
        
        for one, we do not kiss our cows good night down here. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:45 3

      - we call it 'primary' or 'grade' school. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:38
  - I went to school with boys like that. it was a nightmare. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:36
girls only have words. They don't get into fistfights. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:30 8
- They also have ladyparts. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:31 1
  - this is fals... oh wait. -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 11:34
- That's not necessarily true. I seen some girls throw down...and they ain't playing. That's like fighting to the death and shit. - Jim Oct 4, 11:31 4
  - no, you're right. But it's less common. and girls do not let up. Sometimes you can try to stand up to them and it only gets much worse. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:33
  - They rip hair out. Bru--tal stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:32 1
    - And don't be wearing no dangly ear rings...cause that shit will be on the sidewalk. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 11:32
  - PILLOW FIGHT!! -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:32
- in my school, they did. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:31
nope. alot of suicides over that type of thing. FB, twitter and all that shit just makes it even worse...and easier -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 11:30 8
- it makes it all the more pervasive, as kids connect more and more, they have less and less safe space -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:33
- luckily, I have not had to go through this with my daughter yet. - groiny Oct 4, 11:32 6
  - How old is she now? Eventually you'll have to let her otherwise it just makes it even more enticing. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:33 5
    - 11. some of her friends have it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:34 4
      - well, FB itself has a minimum age of 13, so you can use that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:35 3
        
        This is what we're doing (my guy is 12). The requirement is also that we have his passwords and that we are friends with him -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:36 2
        
        until he figures out how to change his password or creates an alternate account. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:37 1
        
        If I found his password changed, it's end of the line. I already cut off his wifi access at 10pm by mac address - oblique Oct 4, 11:38
You really don't understand women. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 11:29
"just"? -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:28 2
- sticks and stones, right? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:29 1
  - just because something we tell ourselves to make us feel better does mean it's true. -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:31
