I was bullied in elementary and middle school and a portion of high school.
My 6th grade teacher sat there watching it happen and laughing at me and did NOTHING to stop it or intervene. If you dont stop it or intervene, to me that's condoning it and allowing it to continue.
Fast forward nearly 20 years, the same school district I went to in Missouri is still having the same problems with students being bullied and lack of dealing with it. My friend's daughter goes to a school in the same district and she was being bullied horribly and she went to the teacher, principal and campus resource officer and nothing was done. They've been fighting with the board the past year and a half to get a resolution.
I'm a mentally tough girl and I got through it, but I remember the feeling of being emotionally wrecked that I'd just cry when I got home and I dreaded going to school the next day.
This happens all over the country, every single day to kids.
