My oldest daughter has been bullied since she was in 1st grade.  She was well liked by the teachers and most students.  One student did not like that.  Here is where it gets interesting.  We had noticed a change in her wanting to go to school and a couple teachers had noticed a change as well.  When we finally found out what was happening, we heard the same words "we'll take care of it" and "kids will be kids".  By the time 6th grade had come, we found out that it had not only gotten worse, but that nobody would step in and help.  We had meetings with the principal and superintendent many times. Unfortunately we go no where.  We had her keep a journal on a daily basis on what happened, who did it, what time it happened and the names of anyone that was around when it happened.  The final straw was when the bully told her that she was a mistake that should have been erased, that she just should kill herself and get it over with, that she was worthless and a waste of oxygen.  She came home with a locker combination bruise on her back and bruises all over.  We took pictures and call the sheriff.  The sheriff came and took what information was given to him.  He did file charges but the county attorney said that they would not pursue the case because the child was under 13.  They were not also going to pursue the case because there were to many discrepencies in the stories.  We had pulled her from the school and home schooled her for the rest of the year.  She was also under doctors care because of some thoughts had entered her mind about doing what the bully had told her to do.  She still has a hard time dealing with everything, but is really liking her dual enrollment with the home school and the new district that she is open enrolled to.  We found out that this bully had not only used our daughter as her own personal garbage disposal, but also made other peoples lives miserable.  The sad thing is that she is still going to the school, nothing was ever done, and she broke a door at school and still goes unpunished.  Her parents think she can do no wrong.  They are wrong.  My daughter now speaks up against those that are bullies and is a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.  This is a film that everyone needs to watch.  Bullying comes in more forms that just verbal and physical.  She is doing a pageant and is giving a speech on being one voice, one word that can make a change.....
