Isn't it those who had physical disability are supposed to go into some kind of special school or something?
Well, it's not like all people could accept someone like that you know (moreover they're still a middle schooler)..
and that's usually end up with bullying..
God bless.
Well then, I suppose I was lucky then, never was bullied nor have I witnessed bullying of this devilish level. The kids I grew up with were never anything near this, sure they pulled pranks here and there but never outright bullied anyone. Hell, I was a tall fat kid back then on top of being a loner most of the time yet I was never targeted (despite having all the qualities of a prime target). But again, I was probably lucky.
Regardless, through the years I've seen kids around me escalating in their bad actions but bullying of this evil evil level is something I've only started to see recently.
Where I live they're actually a lot less like that now, my daughter's schools really haven't had bullying. They've got comprehensive well designed anti-bullying stuff starting from young, so they head it off before it really gets started.
That said...Jesus H. Christ these kids were evil as fuck, that's not being ignorant nor childish...that's just meaning mean spirited. Kids weren't like this when I was a kid...at least not the kids I knew O.o.
What scares me is that there actually are kids like that nowadays...I fear for the next generation.
