Teen Suicide prompts schools to take on Bullying


Father speaking at his sons High School on April 14th 2010 2 months and one week after his son committed suicide from being bullied for being smart.
There are parts of every story that go untold. The untold story here is that the child in this instance did not feel comfortable enough to communicate his pain to them or a mentor. Being shy as a child only leads to hidding pain later in life. Parents, practice now listening to your children more than you talk to them, it could save thier life one day.

Birdville Parents take Bullying to the Board


Story was written April 22, 2010

Here's a good story about how bullying "is not" being handled in the local schools. My oppinion is that this problem will continue to happen as more and more of the electronic age becomes less and less able to handle human confrontation. The teachers must change the culture in the school as well as invite "not force" the student body to join them.

This case (updated as of 4/5/10) has a lot of information about the new methods being used by todays bullies. It's also a sad one so have the tissue box near by.

The Equalizers

EYES - no matter how big your opponent is they cannot withstand a shot to the eyes or something thrown into the eyes.

NOSE - Any time the nose is hit, it will make them water and allow you time to either escape or follow up.

GROIN - No need to explain this one

THIGH - A good hard kick to the thigh leaves most attackers laying on the ground.
