What kind of sick depraved world do we live in where bullies like this exist?

So change her cell phone number and don't give her the phone for school.

Kinda makes you wonder, had we been better able to combat bullying back in the mid-90's, would Columbine have happened?

This is one of the myths of Columbine - http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/...ne-myths_N.htm

Harris and Klebold, in layman's terms were, "not wired right." Harris was most likely a certifiable sociopath.

The bullying is bad, her mom needs to change her phone number at this point, tell her not to give out the number to people and/or not let them know she even has a phone.

I am wondering what the background is that led up to this? seems to me that something with sex with another student is involved based on the content of the texts. The reality is that kids will always come up with something to pick on people for. Once it gets going and takes hold, others jump on.

The biggest problem in the texts was the grammar. I swear I am going to read my sons texts for spelling and grammar. that shit bothers me.

If you think you're going to stop this kind of stuff, Ronin, you're further gone than I thought.

I know right? I want to tell my daughter she is welcome to be a terrible person, but she damn well better be intelligent and articulate in her rude and threatening behavior

A lot of us entered the profession with a crusader personality. You get over it... or move on.

Almost every ACADEMY recruit has visions of grandeur regarding how "Life on the Street" will be once in uniform. The cold hard slap of reality usually happens after their first Drunk driver fatality, DV, or child abuse call. Shit ain't pretty in the real world.
The flip side is the time being there when needed, makes all the difference in the world. No matter how small it seems to everyone else.

I got over it pretty quick... Especially when you see the people caught in the revolving door.

On a good day, I have about a 6' circular sphere of influence and maybe a square meter of control. The rest of the world is on it's own.

On a bad day, I don't even have control over myself.

To the OP's original question: "What kind of sick depraved world do we live in where bullies like this exist?" My personal answer is; A fallen, broken, needy world, full of broken and needy people. It's always better to tread the water than to try to breath it. Fight the good fight.

Be safe.

Sad.

I wonder how much the PC policies have caused this. Back in the day, there were kids that stood up for one another. These days those kids would be just as punished as the bullies for doing so.
